Quite the image from a Labor Day rally in Ellsworth. (Hard not to notice that Susan Collins is the only member of Maine's four-member federal delegation not to have posted anything on social media today about Labor Day, the importance of honoring workers etc etc.) tinyurl.com/yb26uc7w #MEpolitics
National Voter Registration Day is Sept. 16! Talk it up in your conversations. 1 in 4 Americans are not registered to vote!
THIS is who they are, whether or not they're this explicit. Decent people would not want to associate themselves with this rot.
Troops in the streets and he thinks he’s going to get a Nobel, peace begins at home
Nine former CDC chiefs say RFK Jr. is endangering Americans. Amid a measles surge he fired Susan Monarez, installed unqualified advisers, and cut vaccine support. They urge Congress, medical groups, and philanthropy to defend science and public health.
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
WWII ended 80 years ago today, as Japan surrendered on the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay.
Thank you @joycevance.bsky.social for highlighting the atrocity of failing to consider the victims. Just as Epstein himself was treated with leniency, so is Maxwell. These women deserve our support! open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Fear of crime: an unholy alliance between politicians that need a cudgel, local news that needs clicks, social media's ability to share viral anecdotal crime stories, police that need justification to exist, and the fact that police/surveillance tech is a multi-billion dollar industry, and racism.
ICYMI — “LA wouldn’t be standing today” This is a real thing @Sec_Noem said on tv, with a straight face
Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.
Did you know #airpollution from fossil fuels is linked to 90,000 premature deaths a year in the US? This new study shows our children are on the front lines, with alarming links to #asthma and #cancer. We must demand clean air for our families. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We had about 150 in the tiny town of Burnsville, NC!

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
On brand. Both for GOP and law enforcement personality profile. Not all law enforcement, but way too many.
This federal judge understated the matter when she called “surprising” the government’s attempt “to remove minor children from the country in the wee hours of the morning on a holiday weekend.” She was right to issue a temporary restraining order. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
I’m absolutely begging reporters to stop suggesting that Lisa Cook stated that she would use both properties as a principal residence on her mortgage APPLICATIONS Mortgage APPLICATIONS and mortgage AGREEMENTS are not the same thing We have no idea what she represented on the APPLICATIONS
This part. Everyone should be taking notes from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social’s @mizzwelch.bsky.social

Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) here. RFK Jr. is a clear and present danger to all Americans, and to the world. He is a menace and a threat to life, health, and liberty, a mockery of a Health Secretary, and a true enemy of the people. Fire him now.
Blue Cross had refused to pay thousands of claims for the center’s patients, but on several occasions executives at the insurance company had signed special one-time deals with the center to pay for their wives’ cancer treatment. (Published April 2025)
If Ashli Babbitt's parents really wanted to avenge her death they would, instead of pitifully whitewashing her legacy, be suing Fox News for filling their child's gullible head with dangerous nonsense that directly led to her death.
Makes it clear, makes it easy, makes it inarguable: The landlords who say they "can't afford" a rent freeze sure did somehow find *$2.5 Mil* to give to the dude who wants to *raise* rents. You want your rent to go up, or you want it to stay the same? Stop running to the right. Stay left, & fight.

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
‼️‼️‼️
Since when should an insurrectionist be given military honors? Setting aside the fact that her death wasn't due to her military service, she was engaged in acts of treason.
The most accurate description ever.
only so many words you can put in a headline but the whole response is loud and proud support for the trans community and worth reading
Well, well . . .
Good for them! Can you blame them?
The shooter fired 116 shots. There's no reason for any civilian to own something like this.
I'm out of DC and a 65-ish black guy saw my DC plates and commented on the national guard presence. He told me he was a cop for 25 years and very pro law enforcement, but hates what they're doing with the National Guard in DC. Really hasn't hit elite media how broadly unpopular this stuff is.

It's like the early days of the internet when information was suspect, at best.
Yesterday, ICE agents detained firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire. As a firefighter and paramedic, I know firsthand that in an emergency, every second counts, and politics should never come before saving lives.

Just saying...
What happened before, during, and after a hurricane, flood, and lies and racist violence hit Katrina should be remembered accurately, even though it was narrated with wild, destructive inaccuracy at the time, by government officials and mainstream media. Wrote about it here, five years after:
These two men have proven one thing without a doubt. If you are born wealthy in America no amount of stupidity, lies, or fraud will limit your opportunities. You can fail upwards to the very highest levels of power as long as you have no shame.

NEW: More than two decades after victims and families of the 9/11 attacks began trying to hold the Saudi government responsible for aiding the Qaida terrorists who carried out the plot, a judge has ruled that a lawsuit against the kingdom can go to trial.
Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
