A Texas County Cuts Over 100 Polling Sites as Trump Attacks Mail-In Voting Nationally talkingpointsmemo.com/news/a-texas...
Sadly, the founding fathers never expected The Judiciary & Congressional Branches of our Government would bend over backwards to allow the President to ruin our country. They thought they were creating a perfect system.
100+ years of CDC Directors support our client Dr. Susan Monarez. Powerful. "None of us would have agreed to the secretary’s demands, and we applaud Dr. Monarez for standing up for the agency and the health of our communities." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Big week this week. From the mass protests today, to the press conference on Wednesday with Epstein victims with Ro Khanna and Tom Massie, to Chicago being invaded by ICE. Trump doesn’t want us to talk about the Epstein victims. Don’t let the ICE invasion of Chicago distract you.
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."
Why has Trump been attacking unions and workers’ rights? He wants working people to feel helpless and divided. Trump and his billionaire backers realize that the collective power of a unified labor movement outweighs their own power. Know this: Workers outnumber the oligarchs.
BREAKING: The entire community of Fort Providence has been ordered to evacuate due to wildfires burning in the Northwest Territories of Canada. The community of roughly 700 people has been ordered to evacuate and are to relocate to Hay River.
Donald Trump has invented a new kind of fascism, all the nasty, authoritarianism of the old fascism, but this time the trains *don't* run on time.
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."
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
MAGA Republican Mark Alford let a little bit of truth slip out between an avalanche of lies in defense of Donald Trump. Alford asked an irate town hall attendee “If you didn’t want to hear my lies why did you come here tonight? At least Alford admitted he is lying SOB #ProudBlue
Desperate demented don Gift Idiot “In a post on Truth Social, Mr. Trump said, “Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!!” He did not provide further details about the order.” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
I’m left/right challenged…
Is that someone on his left side helping him walk?
Release the Epstein files.
This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
Thankfully you know Lily is much safer inside than out.
How’s this working out for you MAGA’s now? Trump’s deporting Latinos. He’s cutting Veteran’s benefits. He’s trying to take away even more women’s rights. He’s whitewashed Black history!! You’ve been conned!!!
Tell your Congressional reps. that bigotry & racism are never acceptable. Take a stand against transphobia, homophobia & racism by opposing MAGA racists & Trump's Project 2025.
It’s very frustrating they’re capitulating & doing this. Such a dishonor to everyone who has honorably served & died defending our nation.
Calling all Swifties to urge Taylor to sue Meta and its techno-fascist billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg, into oblivion.
“A respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group.” This is on Trump. Gift link here: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
They’ll be sued very soon.
Every Democratic Governor should be doing this.
Educate yourself about transgender issues. Challenge harmful stereotypes & misinformation. Trans rights are human rights. Trans people deserve safety & to live their lives authentically, without government discrimination and prejudice. Be a proud ally.
#BlueSkyVets No. No way Chief Justice can infer American lives are better off today than the day he gave Donald Trump “Full” & “Complete” Immunity! You started this BS & it’s going to take you & the rest of your “KKKlan” to put an end to it! Get to work! #ProudBlueVets #DemsUnited #DemVoice1
🚨🚨🚨🚨TORTS EXAM FACT PATTERN ALERT 🚨🚨🚨🚨
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...
🚨 While kids in MN were gunned down at school, Rep. John James starred in a gun-fetish video with right-wing tabloid Michigan Enjoyer. Spraying bullets & “joking” that K-12 kids need weapons training. Guns are the #1 killer of kids in America—and James thinks it’s funny. No wonder they deleted it. 👇
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
Denmark’s government warned the US and called in the US Trump regime envoy for a special chat behind closed doors. Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen later said: “We are aware that foreign actors continue to show an interest in Greenland and its position in the Kingdom of Denmark,"
Marc Elias’ Democracy Docket has quietly become a pro-democracy media force, expanding its newsroom to 20 staffers as it surpasses 50,000 paid subscribers. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/democracy-...
"Journalists have a choice: They can continue propagandizing for autocracy, or they can tell the truth. And Democrats have a choice: They can take advice from the likes of Chris Cillizza and cower in fear of speaking out against an unpopular president, or they can follow JB Pritzker’s lead"
He also promised fealty to the 🍊 toddler.
"Core inflation rose to 2.9% in July, highest since February" And keep on mind these numbers will get worse because of Trump's massive tax/tariffs. TrumpFLATION is coming! www.cnbc.com/2025/08/29/p...
👀👀👀👀
NEVER. I told my husband in 2016 don’t be surprised when USSS comes knocking on our door. It still holds true. Though I’ve never actually made any threats, just an opinionated old lady posting about what an awful person the 🍊 toddler is.
learn a thing. So more dumbing down of people. 2/2
The investors need to stop pushing their unknown investments so hard. They’re worse than MBAs. From what I’ve seen, AI is not giving folks a whole lot of real things to work with. It’s kind of all in how it’s programmed. And it’s become a cheating way for students to do their homework & not /1
This is the peak Axios AI story. Workers are getting stressed because they’re under pressure to find something useful to do with AI. If they don’t investors will have bought into a bubble. Why do workers hate investors?
Maine conservatives want to pass a ballot measure this fall that would make it *much* tougher to vote by mail, a campaign that comes as Donald Trump is trying to ban it nationwide.
Congress is now the Duma. Pass it on.
#ProudBlue This is a stark reminder of what is happening in the United States in 2025. THE. UNITED. STATES. OF. AMERICA.
AMERICA IS FUCKING SICK We’ve got a country held hostage by: A treasonous pervert under the control of Putin. A Republican Party & conservative SCOTUS who are aiding & abetting the orange stained traitor. A MAGA base fully propagandized by the gun industry, RW media & “Christian” bs.
The world now has to protect itself from Russia, China, and US simultaneously while avoiding crashing itself completely since we all stupidly intertwined our economies and defense with the US and China without considering the FAFO fully.
That’s exactly what they’re doing.
Now they’re tainting yet another lawsuit? Sounds like it to me.
Keep going.
We stand with @drdemetre.bsky.social and all federal workers standing a stand against the fascist regime! @meidastouch.com @couriernewsroom.bsky.social @cnn.com @msnbc.com @maddow.msnbc.com
Yes, most definitely.
Can all the people who actually understand science and disease control start their own organization please? We still need to know the real information and we need scientists out here still doing their work.
And now I’ve learned it, too. Thanks, George.
#BlueSkyVets Listen, I’m not trying to sway anybody’s position on our society - I’m just stating the facts as I understand it… Since Trump has been in office everyday is staged chaos to make us all weary and afraid. How’s that going for ya? #RESIST #ProudBlueVets #DemsUnited #DemVoice1
He so wants to hold a rally and this is apparently the only reason they’d let him. Caveat, can’t read article due to no subscription.

This thread is so incredibly important 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Strange how she didn’t understand that. But good news for Kilmer.
Probably.
We stand with Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker and every other American willing to stand up to fascism and take back our country.
This is very good, I think it's the right kind of encouragement -- recognizing that part of Trump's fascist project is pure psychological warfare DESIGNED to wear you down emotionally
The Supreme Court told him this with that terrible stupid immunity decision
Donald Trump didn’t write “The Art of the Deal” (he probably didn’t even read it) and he sure as hell isn’t writing any of these executive orders. He’s just The Heritage Foundation’s useful idiot.
Amen.
Speaking for all our kids
The authoritarian checklist open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...
A diverse workforce from different backgrounds, experiences & perspectives helps promote equality, inclusiveness, better problem-solving, creativity & innovation. Felon Trump, Nazi Musk & Project 2025 promote racism, sexism & Christian Nationalism. NO!
No military personnel, active duty or veteran, should EVER support bone spur looser over this. It’s a disgrace to the entire military population.
Absolutely repulsive! Trump granted full military funeral honors to someone who violently stormed the Capitol J6 (Ashli Babbitt), while refusing such recognition to honorable service members is a grotesque disgrace and a betrayal of everything the uniform stands for.
#ItsTheFuckingGuns
Monarez was pressured by Kennedy to endorse controversial vaccine policy changes, including dismantling the CDC’s long-standing vaccine advisory committee and revising guidance on COVID-19 shots. When she resisted, Kennedy reportedly gave her an ultimatum: resign or be fired.
Trump badly underwater on crime and economy. 37% approval overall. Americans tell him to keep his tiny little hands off the Smithsonian. KEEP POUNDING AWAY, folks poll.qu.edu/poll-release...
The Lisa Cook Case Could Be the Whole Ball Game If the Supreme Court lets Trump replace Cook with a loyalist, he might soon achieve a full-blown takeover of the Federal Reserve.
Absolutely.
Oligarchs running America
C’est vie!
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
Yet again, as with ICE kidnappings, it is COMPLETE AND TOTAL MALPRACTICE that Dems aren't going hard at this stuff. Voters are terrified and are begging Dems to fight for them. Come ON.

Trust me I won’t. His might be the second most anticipated obit.
NYT/WAPO/NPR/etc: "The popularity of Trump's crime-fighting efforts poses a political problem for Democrats" Reality: "Popularity? WTF are you talking about?" Unfortunately the dimwit/MAGA-friendly pundits are louder than reality.
Great news for those being held in it. Sadly though, the environmental damage has been done.
I’m sorry. Everyone should be allowed access to the shots through insurance coverage or VA usage, no matter their age.
Please do not DM.
NO KINGS SEPTEMBER 1ST - "RESIST FASCISM" PROTEST fiftyfifty.one for local details Please share 🙏
They’re only able to get the ones who would have been ambulance chasers these days.
Trump is right. Our country’s in danger. Mortal danger. It’s in danger from him.
The only thing more disgraceful than having groveling cabinet members so willing to debase themselves in this shameless way is having such a damaged, insecure, and needy president that they know desperately needs to hear this BS.
Reup: One thing many are missing abt Social Security whistleblower complaint is this: DOGE--including Big Balls, who has ties to criminal hackers--put ALL American Social Security data on an insecure AWS site AFTER SCOTUS GOPers intervened and let them do that. www.emptywheel.net/2025/08/26/a...
When elections are stolen, history shows crowds flood the streets. Trump plans to crush the protests before they even begin… hartmannreport.com/p/forget-law...
Because they have no good prosecutors anymore.
They now should all sue.
