"The courts have been unpersuaded that we live in a state of permanent national emergency that is global in scope and decades-long in duration, requiring swift executive action on the theory that Congress could never assemble in time to address the issue. … www.nationalreview.com/corner/divid...
Denver, CO showing out! 9/1/25
It’s hard to ignore grocery prices when you have three growing kids to feed and you are the one who does the shopping. ✅Easy weeknight dinners ✅School lunches ✅After-school snacks Lindsey Graham could never.
They Tried to Sneak Out 600 Kids on a Holiday Weekend The government was loading Guatemalan minors, unaccompanied, some as young as 6-7.

Shameful
Presidents Xi, Putin and PM Modi would never be palling around today if it wasn’t for the extraordinary foolishness shown by the president of the United States.
Boston is a union town.

Watch what Don Jr does with his left hand. This needs to be streaming inside the Capitol, Senate chamber, House chamber, and hologrammed across the White House and Department of Homeland Security.
Epstein didn’t find 1,000 underage girls on his own. Jean-Luc Brunel did. And survivors say the modeling world covered it up. Brunel didn’t just scout models. He also prowled pageants. Survivors say Trump’s contests gave him access to the very pipeline Epstein funded.
CHICAGO IS IN THE STREETS! #LaborDay #DefendHigherEd #WorkersOverBillionaires
Way to rise up San Diego Labor Day ✊
Something that has been missing from the Trump administration’s review of the Epstein case: considering the survivors. This week, they speak out, and we should all be listening. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Me too
📌 Nice to see D.C. show up day after day. ✊🏼 Power to the people!
I Agree ✋ He’s a Hero ‼️
Some new street art spotted in DC 🤣
Thank you on this labor day!!
"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker

Feel FREE to Re-post. ;)
Love him or hate him, Bill Maher is right about this: Trump is currently building up a police state to get us used to seeing both the military and militarized police on our streets. Read more here: https://bit.ly/4oZIjQQ #ResistTrump
The United States has seen 291 mass shootings in 2025. That’s more than one mass shooting every day. This isn’t normal. Weapons of war don’t belong on the streets. We need real action to save lives.
What if they not letting Trump speak because he had a Reverse Fetterman Stroke and hes woke now
Happening Now — Washington DC: Pretty massive rally is forming at 14th and U NW.
Ignorance and stupidity
Interesting that there’s so much chatter of a serious health decline just a few days before a press conference is scheduled on the Capitol steps with Epstein’s victims. Things that make you go hmmmm…..and he’s guilty af
If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?
In a WIN for reproductive rights, Governor Pritzker has signed bill HB 3709 into law. This new law will require all public universities to offer both contraception & abortion meds if the schools have an on campus pharmacy. This law is intended to make these meds more accessible. #Pinks
BREAKING: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson defies President Trump by leading a "no troops in Chicago!"
We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.
People against MAGA shared this.
A plane carrying European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was hit by GPS jamming over Bulgaria in a suspected Russian operation... "We have received information from the Bulgarian authority that they suspect that this was due to blatant interference by Russia." said a spokesperson. CBS
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
The prevalence of firearms in the U.S. – not mental illness – is driving the surge in gun deaths across the country, a new study concludes. The research led by an Oregon Health & Science University professor looked at mental health conditions and firearm
When I was an Amazon driver, holidays weren’t really holidays. Nobody gets paid holidays. If the holiday falls on a day that you’re regularly scheduled, you have to make up that day to get your regular weekly hours. Would it kill the company to give everyone real paid holidays? Happy Labor Day.
Noem insisted they were deporting criminals
They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.
Dead, alive, or hiding — doesn’t matter. Release the Epstein files.
In the middle of the night!
www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6GvjPcr/ How in the HELL does any government lawfully deport 600 unaccompanied minors? Who does that? Who the fuck are we? What are we? What have we become?
The ones screaming for zero separation of church and state are the same ones losing their minds when anyone from the church says anything they disagree with politically.
JB Pritzker to CBS on Trump deploying troops: "He'd like to stop the elections in 2026 or, frankly, take control of those elections. He'll just claim that there's some problem with an election, and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control if, in fact, he's allowed to do this."
Emmer does remember why he did not vote for the Safer Communities Act because the $261,530 he received from Gun Rights advocates is clouding his memory. He chose money over children. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks
This is what leadership looks like.
⚡️Ukrainian forces liberate village near Kupiansk in Kharkiv Oblast. The positions previously allowed Russian troops to control the road leading into Kupiansk, approximately 104 kilometers (65 miles) east of Kharkiv, the regional capital.
Ukraine is once again hitting Russian targets in occupied Crimea. #explodey
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
Can't afford to care for your kids; can't afford to care for your parents; can't afford to care for yourself—America makes it hard to care for each other, yet we have unlimited opportunity to be selfish or cruel. Demand a system with less friction and bullshit—it's "unrealistic" or "impractical."

He starts randomly jabbering on about getting into heaven. Mysterious bruising on his hand. He disappears from the public eye for days. Even a child would suspect something was up. Everyone but Congress and mainstream media.

Rep Emmer you can go 🖕yourself. Blaming Gov Walz for the shooting is horseshit. Every single school/mass shooting is the fault of the GOP. #ProudBlue #Pinks #OneV1
This is why Republicans have to cheat with maps. They can't win on policy.
Which the Supreme Court refused to do.

Trump did this
Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) are planning to bring survivors of abuse by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his convicted co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell to the Capitol for a press conference the morning of Sept. 3, the day the House returns from August recess.
Unconstitutional
It’s insane.
The GOP holds the majority and could pass a law today to protect our children Instead, they’re scolding us for saying “prayers aren’t enough” when babies are gunned down while praying in church To those in Congress who claim faith— Bloodshed isn’t inevitable. It’s your choice

“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
It is way overdue!
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
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
This Administration doesn't care about the laws. They don't care about due process. All they care about is power and exerting control over cities they don't like. Los Angeles will not stand for it.

Harper Moyski’s parents with a powerful message, “No family should ever have to endure this kind of pain. We urge our leaders and communities to take meaningful steps to address gun violence and the mental health crisis in this country. Change is possible, and it is necessary.”

"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:

Let’s do
RFK Jr is a hack. Miller is making himself a joke.
For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.

Jones: I would say to my colleagues who serve in government—keep your thoughts and prayers, keep your tweets. If you want to address gun violence, you don't need to tweet. What you need is a mirror. You have the power to change things.
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…
