Third stop on this picture perfect Sunday was New Jerusalem Church of God Apostolate in Jamaica, a wonderful congregation under the leadership of Bishop Altamont George Blackwood. I'm so grateful for their hospitality and the opportunity to share the vision of our campaign.
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it

Today, in my hellhole home of #Chicago, I walked to the farmers market with my family and bought flowers, cheese, honey, fruit, and tomatoes. Then we went to the local park to enjoy the 70s and breezy weather we have been blessed with.
A lot of white … immigrants … protesting … immigration? Or just a bunch of low-socioeconomic, low-education, low-achieving muppets acting out their bitterness at their lack of success in life. Gotta blame someone else for their failure at life. Cookers. www.9news.com.au/national/ant...

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Aint it like White people to spend centuries invading and colonizing countries they had no business being in, and then have the gall to turn around and tell immigrants they're not welcome on the land they stole.
“If the model employer, the federal government, is unilaterally terminating high-performing Black employees, what hope is there?” President Trump’s efforts to shrink the federal work force have disproportionately affected Black women. Those losses are also rippling through the private sector.

The president posted today that Roger Clemens' seven Cy Young Awards were three more than anybody else. That will come as news to Randy Johnson.
O'Keefe to Noem: "At least 20 people who signed this letter were current FEMA employees & they've been placed on administrative leave. Is it now the policy of DHS that anytime an employee puts their name on something criticizing you or POTUS, they should anticipate being put on leave or fired?"
RADDATZ: One of the things they are trying to do in DC with the National Guard is have them back up local law enforcement WES MOORE: They are picking up trash
Pete Hegseth’s move to reinstall a Confederate statue is, at worst, a move to show that “he and the Trump administration are making common cause with apologists who believe that the wrong side won the Civil War,” Mike Nelson argues.
Jesse Watters: “You weren’t ever on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet, were you?” RFK Jr: “I was on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet two times.” Release the freaking Epstein Files. Believe the survivors and their families. We want accountability.
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...
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."
I'm keeping a scorecard of the diseases that were once eradicated in the U.S. by vaccines -vs- the number of those same diseases that will be REINTRODUCED in the U.S. due to our unqualified brainworm-addled roadkill collector and heroin addict Secretary of HHS, RFK Jr. Here's one for you too:

China isn’t the reason to build solar—it’s the reason we can’t afford to wait. While US nuclear flatlines, China’s solar has already rocketed past it.

Bernie Sanders: ‘Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of health and human services, is endangering the health of the American people now and into the future. He must resign.’ www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...
Satan is an imaginary persons, unless you include the very real Donald Trump.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has spent the past six months working fast to embed his Make America Healthy Again creed into American life. Nicholas Florko and Stephanie Bai discuss the status of the country’s health overhaul in The Atlantic Daily.
This is the most compelling case I’ve seen yet that America is no longer a democracy but an authoritarian state. Not a *soon-to-be* authoritarian state—a *current* one.
The face of Smallpox. This poor child died a couple days after this photo was taken. Vaccine Science rendered Smallpox extinct in the “wild”, but it still exists in Biohazard Labs. What if it gets accidentally or purposely released? Today’s kids are NOT immune! Young adults are NOT immune!

Make no mistake — RFK Jr. and Trump’s endless attacks on the CDC, public health experts, and established science threaten lives and undermine our global research leadership. Vaccines save lives. We will never stop speaking up to protect that indisputable scientific consensus.
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets
They arrest without warrants, wear masks and drive around in unmarked rental cars. ICE has clearly devolved into lawless thugs.
Tom Homan: Newsom is an "embarrassment" for saying ICE is Trump’s "private police force." The border czar's attack on the California governor came after Newsom’s comments at a POLITICO summit.
Lisa Cook, the Fed member Trump is trying to fire, asked a federal court to declare the president’s move illegal and void.

How did we get to a point where one person with zero medical training and a history of brain worms gets to decide whether or not we can get a vaccine?
The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly barring states and organizations that receive government funds from helping undocumented immigrants. This will make it harder for the most vulnerable people to get help in the aftermath of disasters. It was always about cruelty.

Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but RFK Jr. has ZERO idea what mitochondria are, and what they do. KNOWING A BIG WORD DOES NOT MAKE YOU A QUALIFIED SCIENTIST.
"It sets a bad precedent if the president can just take 10 percent of a company by threatening the CEO" in some theoretical nightmare future a leader who isn't an insane zealot operating a fourth grade reading level could do something similar, but for the actual greater good!
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
Multiple CDC leaders have resigned in the wake of layoffs and a shooting at the agency’s headquarters this month.
The White House chose Jim O’Neill, a top deputy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to serve as acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, The Washington Post reported. Follow live updates.
Good god. We are in so much trouble as a country!
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
I am shocked! Ok, that was sarcasm.

Serial killer.
A very strong & powerful resignation letter from Dr. Daskalakis calling out RFK jr. “I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health.”
RFK Jr. will kill Americans, sure as death. You have the GOP to thank you for that.
You know what else might be involved...guns, guns might play a role in all these senseless killings.
We had a chance to stick with making it punishable by death to be a Kennedy but we punked out
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
The newly ousted director of the CDC refused to fire top agency leaders or approve changes to vaccines from RFK Jr.’s hand-picked panel of advisers.
Damn right!
Economically unsuccessful white men have always been told by the billionaires, plantation owners, etc. that they may be poor but they belong to a better class cause they’re white. Suddenly, these men are finding this story is not so true anymore. The fix? MAGA and Trump channels it so well.
Trump got left out by the homies! Sad face
