Susan Collins is about to go through some things.
💯
A reminder.
ELECTION TIME!!! It’s a small election week, but not an inconsequential one by any means, we have two legislative holds in FL, and one flip opportunity in Wocester MA. Here’s what we’re looking at: Tues Sept 2 - FL, MA, NY Sat Sept 6 - DE open.substack.com/pub/ariellae...
🚨NEW: Retired Army Lt. General Mark Hertling calls out Donald Trump for giving military funeral honors to January 6th rioter Ashli Babbitt: “she did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” RETWEET if you stand with Lt. General @MarkHertling!

“Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
Weekends. The 40-hour work week. Sick days. That didn't just happen. Organized labor did that. And today, we celebrate how far we've come. And how far we've yet to go to build an economy – and a country – that works for working people.
Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job. Hope it's a good one for everybody! #HappyLaborDay
May be different (quicker) with elderly and not so healthy specimen
This was my thought too! He trusts Putin thinking he’s a friend and ally. The world knows better.
Trump lies that the US has extracted "trillions of $ in import tariffs." No! In 2024, the US imported goods for $3.36 trillion. The current average tariff is 18% = $605 bn for a whole year, but loopholes will prevail. Tariffs are taxes on Americans. www.cbp.gov/newsroom/sta...
Get ready to puke.
I’m still in disbelief that so many MAGAs are scared of everything and everybody. It’s sad how Trump too a whole group of people and made them afraid, all while convincing them it was actually “alpha”
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
Wanna be is not the same as is alpha male . Yuk. Hes grotesque in every way.
Let’s all take a moment to reflect on how this just absolute alpha male sprayed on his hair for TV
Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.
They want to drag us back to the dark ages. Do not comply. Vaccines are still one of the crowning achievements of American science. "Trump’s creepy consigliere, Stephen Miller, told reporters that Kennedy is 'a crown jewel of this administration.'” Poppycock! www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...
Pete Hegseth in December on military training: “We’re bringing a war-fighting ethos back to the Pentagon. Everything else that distracts from lethality shouldn’t be happening.”
#EpsteinFiles
🤔 Strange timing: as Rosneft struggles under sanctions and Russia’s Venezuela oil stake reshuffles, the U.S. ramps up military ops near Venezuela under the banner of going after cartels. Hard not to wonder if there’s more at play than what’s being said. @housedemocrats.bsky.social
@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
NEW: Many of the unaccompanied minors who Trump is trying to traffic to Guatemala today are in foster care - some of which seem to be Christian facilities. These 10 represent a putative class of nearly 600 children nationwide. Our government is trafficking children.
"Here’s the truth we cannot escape: If Ashli Babbitt is honored, then few things are sacred. If loyalty to the Constitution and an attempt to overthrow it are treated as equal, we lose the very meaning of service." www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
CHILDREN. Dumping little kids with no guardianship into another country without any semblance of due process or care after the fact, on a long weekend no less, is sooo far removed from Pro-Life or Christian to be laughable if it weren't so TRAGIC.

What we think serial killers look like vs what they actually look like:
Fear
He’s never let illegal get in the way before
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
JD Vance: "Immigration destroys national unity!" Also JD Vance: Thanksgiving gonna be awkward.
Verified what we knew.😢
In case you’re wondering how RFK is diagnosing mitochondrial malfunction in the kids he sees, I wrote about where he probably got misinformed 👇🏻
It's like one of those movies where you think the monster is dead but he isn't.
But this is also weird... You can see from the past two examples how they do his schedule. ... arrives at DC club .... departs at DC club Today they included he went with his grandkids AND took a walk while at his DC club. That's abnormal.
Be a nice study to compare Covid rates in states w and without but w no tracing it will be a mystery.
Congresswoman Maxine Waters just called for tЯump’s cabinet to invoke “Article 25” of the Constitution to remove him from office. “Something's wrong with this president!"
Who voted for war with Venezuela?
Remove RFK Jr for dereliction of duties. Immediately.
That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.
He’s destroying it regardless 😢
"RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy...it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism." Were he not a Kennedy...and wealthy...he'd likely be living his life out in a mental institution. Diagnosis: Dumb-Fuckery.
Or apply for asylum from persecution to Canada. Free Healthcare and Canada’s Healthcare System believes in Vaccines. Guess where a lot of America’s Scientists and doctors are choosing to emigrate to? Yep! First Choice is….
NEWS: Walgreens just got taken over by private equity. Private equity has a record of running companies into the ground. Walgreens could be the latest victim: closing more stores, service plummeting, workers losing their jobs, and eventually bankruptcy.
Bernie is right. Health care should be based on medical science. I’m glad I found out I needed a measles vaccine this summer. And it’s right to provide shingles shots to seniors and vaccines for kids. Let’s focus on health care costs instead of upending the CDC. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...
Philadelphia’s District Attorney Larry Krasner has suggested an effective playbook— We should arrest rogue ICE agents at the state level, which would shield them from a presidential pardon. This is the kind of hardline approach we need from our Democratic leaders.
when you grow up and realize it's actually the rich who work less, get “handouts”, and “leech off the government.”

"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:
She was a traitor then, is a traitor now and she will always be in the future.
podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... You cannot now trust the #CDC. It’s now Trump’s CDC where decisions on public health will not be influenced by science or data but by political ideology & data manipulation or no data at all. This is the message from the CDC’s vaccine chief who resigned this week.
RFK Jr was not chosen to preside over US public health and science because he had any qualifications. He had a famous family name and Trump needed his endorsement and supporters. We saw it happen live in this call. That’s why we are here.
Lots of right-wing political pastors and charlatans about to get rich from FEMA money.
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
We should all follow!
Tom Homan's message to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Get out of the way. Because we're going to do it."
The "Well, we're all going to die" lady is dropping out. Given the last two special elections in Iowa, Ernst is running scared.
ICE awarded a no-bid contract worth $2.25 million for 25 Chevy Tahoe SUVs - about $90,000 per vehicle - to a company owned by Republican donor Joseph Riddick “Rick” Hendricks III zeteo.com/p/ice-no-bid...
It’s not just your country that is in danger. Viruses don’t see borders.
"Two people fighting the Bear Gulch fire on the Olympic Peninsula were arrested by federal law enforcement, in a confrontation described by firefighters and depicted in photos and video."
This is insanity. This is the sign of a government that has lost its mind.
Thank you!
We’re being governed by monsters. Just absolute monsters.
Wow
They’re so stupid - it hurts.
NEW RESULT: Democrats have flipped a state Senate in Iowa. This was a seat Trump carried by 11%, but Democratic nominee Catherine Drey has just won it by 10.4%. This is the second legislative flip by Dems in Iowa this year. It also means the GOP loses its supermajority in Iowa’s senate.
This guy got it right!
“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker
Retailers warned that raising wages would "force" them to raise prices and to use automated checkout. Fed min wage remained flat, but they raised prices & used automated checkout anyway. Result: Workers got even poorer as customer service plummeted while prices & profits soared.
A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."
"To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country – I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story." Governor JB Pritzker
Judge Xinis: Your clients are *absolutely forbidden* from removing Mr. Abrego from the continental United States. You understand this? DOJ: Yes.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
are you voting for your local prosecutor this year? (who is even running if so?!) these are crucial elections that stay under-radar, so i jumped into exploring everything that's happening this cycle. make sure people you know are informed as well! boltsmag.org/2025-prosecu...
Way to go, San Francisco!! 👏👏
According to a recent two-page Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI memo, Jeffrey Epstein harmed over one thousand victims. This figure significantly exceeds earlier estimates of "dozens" or a few hundred.
'We are outraged': The Epstein files cover-up by Trump is in full swing. There is a massive propaganda campaign to protect America's pedophile president by the Department of Justice — and the family of Virginia Giuffre is outraged. Aaron Parnas reports. tinyurl.com/mwsdbe9z
BREAKING: We're suing to challenge Florida's authority to detain people at "Alligator Alcatraz." It is unprecedented and illegal for a state to go around federal laws to operate its own immigration jail.

Thousand times worse
60 Minutes Australia: Trump & Epstein I watched it just now and Damn Australia must think really bad of all us!! How can people still support this Clown??? Please make it make sense!!! archive.org/details/60-m...
www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... This is not political theatre. This is intimidation and control.
We hear you loud and clear, Madame Secretary.
I sound insane when I say this but I truly believe a big part of the Trump admin’s approach to energy policy is driven by gender anxiety. They think coal and oil are manly and renewables are effeminate.
Purity tests are "death rattle" for the Democratic Party. It's political suicide. We need fighters...not saints.
