New in PN: RFK Jr gives Republicans a chance to defy Trump on easy mode "What’s really notable is the extent to which GOP leaders have remained supine even in the face of a radical assault on their grandchildren by a transparent death-dealing fraud who wasn’t even a member of the party a year ago."
Really wish the media would speak with the same clarity as judges - absent a rebellion on U.S. soil, the President cannot deploy the National Guard to act as a police force under his control. I know the rule of law is not click bait, but it undergirds the functioning of society.
A sad reality from this so-called governing body.

Thank You!!! 🫶 A long Covid struggler!
Want to help me stay in the fight against the “it’s mild”narrative? I’ll say what needs to be said, get as loud as hell, and fight for the change we need. gofund.me/c042e4b7 #news #kids #NotMild #BackToSchool #sunday #covid #mask #longcovid #teacher
I’m sorry for the victim. A terrible burden to carry. Meanwhile: We should be righteously angry that incidents involving “religious leader” pedophilic abuse are so frequent.
#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pink Yesterday we had a protest/rally in my town organized by my Action Team(indivisible), it was a great success! Later, hubby and I went to Portland,ME to see Bernie. What a day full of energy for our democracy and our workers. Please resist if you aren’t already. ☮️💙
I bet some ketchup was involved.
Im pretty sure it was him throwing things out the WH window earlier in impotent rage with the last of his strength.
A federal judge ruled what we all knew: Trump illegally deployed nearly 5,000 Marines and National Guard soldiers in Southern California turning our military into his personal police force. This brazen power grab violated federal law meant to keep troops out of domestic law enforcement.
The United States is currently the only member of the United Nations Security Council that has not condemned Israel for its actions in Gaza having repeatedly used its veto power to calling for a ceasefire and criticizing Israel’s restrictions on humanitarian aid Nadler also supports the UN decision
That’s because former Fox host Jeanine Pirro was unable to get the grand jury to indict her, which is conveniently left out here.
Moving Space Command away from NORAD is stupid. Colorado already has the existing ecosystem to support both the command and the operations. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Chicago strong! Resist! This is what democracy looks like.
If the GOP is cool with going to the “war department” then you know they just have no independent thought left. Just betas
flip.it/vxUSo_ POLLED GOP SYCOPHANTS TELL FAKENEWS THEY WANT PEDO FUHRER STORMTROOPERS IN ALL BLUE STRONGHOLDS TO INTIMIDATE RESISTANCE & OPPOSITION. EFFECTIVELY THEY ARE ALSO COMFORTABLE WITH THE MILITARY BEING DEPLOYED AMONGST THEIR CONSTITUENTS.
Today would be a Good Day for Donald Trump to release the Jeffrey Epstein files.

#MorningVibe The right side of history is never the one that violates human rights. The USA was added to the CIVICUS Monitor Watchlist, a tool publicizing the status of freedoms & threats to civil liberties worldwide. 🔗 tinyurl.com/34w2j4en 🗣️ slcook52 (IG)
We have a president who is projecting madness us!
📌 Nice to see D.C. show up day after day. ✊🏼 Power to the people!
US media: A robust President walks out for his press conference. Rest of world: America is not a serious country. #BoycottUSA

🤗 Thank You!🥰❤️🌟
Yay!

This put good in my morning!💥
In Portland today, a roaring crowd welcomed Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, signaling real momentum in his challenge to Susan Collins.
Agree.

It makes us all go crazy!
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
What could possibly go wrong?
www.youtube.com/live/aE0Kgsq... Jon Farina is LIVE in Washington D.C. where a press conference is being held to address the State of Emergency in Washington D.C. with Trump's takeover of the area under military control. They'll address the martial law that's taken over,
I actually think they are waiting for the perfect moment. Vance has been slithering around behind the scenes preparing for his own coronation. They still need trump as a prop to calm the MAGAts.
Happy Labor Day from Gov.Newsom......
Whoever is writing this on behalf of.. United States, I guess, doesn’t understand the main issue here - you are now explaining yourself after messing up the relations with India after DJT demanded Modi to nominate him for a Nobel peace prize for “solving the war between India and Pakistan”. SAD.

Washington's speculation about Trump's health is at a fever pitch. We've seen multiple reasons this summer to ask questions — and the media doesn't seem to care. What's really going on? www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...
Isn't it great that RFK Jr., a former heroin addict, who is missing part of his brain because it was eaten by a worm, and who swims in raw sewage, gets to make decisions about our health? 🙄 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
There's a reason that the people who complain that Bluesky isn't welcoming never explicitly say WHO isn't being welcomed. Who should we be nicer too? Be specific about the kind of people you want here. I'd've quote posted this. But he turned replies and quotes off. Making me feel very unwelcome.
I'm just gonna leave this here. Says it all
This is the way
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
More than 1,000 protests are scheduled today all across America. Large crowds will be standing up to the Trump regime, and joining major unions for “Workers Over Billionaires” events. More here:
This #LaborDay, let’s honor the millions who live in the shadows yet keep the American machine running. They deserve our respect. This means refusing to remain silent in the face of unnecessarily violent or aggressive ICE tactics. 🔗 tinyurl.com/bddybhk7
We are suing Texas in two cases -- one voting, one redistricting.
If they enact a new illegal congressional map, Missouri will be sued.

Friends, I urge you to join a Workers Over Billionaires protest this Labor Day. Let’s honor the roots of this holiday by standing together to protest the exploitation and oppression of our tinpot dictator. bit.ly/4lMgKaR
Happening Now — Washington DC: Pretty massive rally is forming at 14th and U NW.
Bravo!
KOH: “Trump Stripped 1 million workers’ bargaining rights while plastering his face on the Labor Dept… Closed miner health clinics… Cut $2.4 Billion from youth & senior job programs… This is the real story of Trump & Labor.” #LaborDay
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
I don’t normally ask to hear from the president but it’d be nice to see if he can still complete a sentence
He can't.
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”
Today's a federal holiday because on the eve of the 20th century machinists, carpenters, and people who worked in mills, mines, and factories joined together to fight for better wages and a day to honor working people. If you're enjoying the holiday today, thank the labor movement.
Today we get to enjoy Labor Day, because of the generations of workers who came before us to fight for fair wages, benefits, and basic decency.
The people shouldn’t be afraid of their government. @chefjoseandres.bsky.social is amongst the most sincere, giving men on the planet. Today, he’s serving an honest #CupOfJoe to the felon in chief. Chef José Andrés radiates compassion. #DemsUnited
The last time Donald Trump showed his face live in front of the press was Tuesday, August 26th, during a marathon three-hour cabinet meeting. Maybe all that staged roundtable praise from his sycophants was too much for him.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
Statement from Trump about his good friend Rudy Giuliani who was injured in a serious car crash on Saturday:
NEW: Judge Sooknanan is back at it. She orders DOJ to file at fifth status report to address whether the two children discussed in its previous report have been returned to ORR custody. Status report due at 12 noon today.
When our working families are strong, Minnesota is strong. That’s why we’ve established paid leave, expanded the right to collectively bargain, and why we’re investing in the projects creating the union jobs of the future. Happy Labor Day, Minnesota.
As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
So many cures we were close to including many cancers...all gone because the MAGA's are stupid and suicidal.

New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."

Trump Regime collapsing under Trump's weakness and appointees idiocy. Grab your coffee we go live at 11 am Eastern. Join us in the lie chat.
“Let’s begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time.” So opens “A Talk to Teachers,” which James Baldwin delivered to a group of educators in October, 1963.
Dean Cain got exactly what he wished for: he collected ICE’s sign-on bonus, was ‘injured,’ and is now out on disability.
And tell me when the cartel gang members will be deported? Or are we just concerned with musicians? Trump’s America is failing in all levels. Want better? Damn vote better! #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #Pinks
And when they say *they* are protecting the country from the people who want to destroy it, they are engaging in pure psychological projection.
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."
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
They're not sure which lie to use.
Lankford was struggling with direct communication this morning.
Pritzker on Trump's authoritarian takeover: "The playbook is the same. It's thwart the media. It's create mayhem that requires military interdiction. These are things that happen throughout history and Donald Trump is just following that playbook."
“This is a historic win for the families,” said Brett Eagleson, whose father was killed in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is going to be held accountable.”

“Since Mr Trump singled out India with an unexpectedly draconian double dose of tariffs earlier this month, he has reportedly phoned the Indian prime minister on four occasions to seek a compromise. Each time, the Indian leader refused to pick up.” (The Telegraph)
BREAKING: Chilling words about Trump and the 2026 elections by Illinois Governor Pritzker: "He would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the “pro-peace” candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
At a loss for words on this one.
