"When did we become a country where it's okay for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything – especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation – that we treat this as normal?" Gov. JB Pritzker
Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
Trump's falling out with Modi is embarrassingly petty "Mr. Modi’s refusal to engage on the Nobel Peace Prize has played an outsize role in the souring relationship between the two leaders."
Pritzker: "We've gathered information from unauthorized, patriotic officials inside the government and from-sourced reporters about Donald Trump's plan, which is to deploy armed military personnel to the streets of Chicago."
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
Pritzker: "We have reason to believe that the Trump administration has already begun staging the Texas National Guard for deployment in Illinois."
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
If the GOP is cool with going to the “war department” then you know they just have no independent thought left. Just betas
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
Joe Lonsdale—who co-founded Palantir with Peter Thiel—also wants to build “freedom cities … out west.” 1/
“The danger inherent in Palantir’s AI-powered super-database on all Americans is connected to the vast wealth and power of those associated with the corporation, and their apparent disdain for democratic institutions.” By Robert Reich, 6/30/25 … 1/ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
This seems ominous. Trump just appointed Josh Craddock—who recently signed a letter urging the DOJ to use the Comstock Act to curtail the distribution of abortion pills—to serve as Deputy Assistant AG in the OLC at the DOJ. 1/
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

This is beautiful. THIS is America!!!🇺🇸
📌 Scientists are not in the business of advancing missions antithetical to public health. ✊🏼
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.
Buster is still one of my all time favorite rescues. He spent his life living on a short chain on cold concrete because he was too "vicious". His love affair with his mum Kitty is a thing of pure beauty
walking_this_way Lise -health wealth purpose for women
I agree. We’ve been on a trajectory that brought us to this destination….this point. We will get thru this and all of us in our country together will survive it…then we need work on the way government should and will work for the good of the ppl. I’m with you.
We don't even buy meat anymore. We don't go to fast food joints either bc 2 burgers & fries are $30. Taco Bell is the new Ritz Carlton. The rent's too high, billionaire Real Estate brokers are even buying up the trailer parks! We have an ex-heroin addict on steroids Health Secretary! TRUMP WORLD !
We should outlaw billionaires as long as our politics are fixed so that being a billionaire gives one more than 1 vote, breaks our social contract, contributes to wealth inequality to the point of ending the American Dream & promotes hate & violence. OVERTURN CITIZENS UNITED OUTLAW GERRYMANDERING
Our Constitution is our gravity. Fairness & justice are the promise of this nation in the contract we all signed onto. Donald Trump is an asteroid.
All the distractions, appeals, power grabs, will not change the fact that there is no statute of limitations on sex crimes against minors...

The White House posts that the US has now taken in $8 Trillion in tariff revenue so far. Preposterous insane lies on an hourly basis.
Happy Labor Day. No matter what job you have, we owe much to organized labor, their efforts: -Established the 40 work week -Child Labor Laws -Overtime pay -Paid time off/leave -The weekend -Employer contributed health insurance -Fairer pay To ALL American workers, I wish you a great day. 🇺🇸
On this Labor Day, let's remember that today isn't likely to offer a respite for those--disproportionately women, and especially women of color, immigrant women, and low-income women--who do the unpaid and underpaid labor of care. In fact, that labor may even be greater on days "off" like today. 1/🧵
This is, of course, false. The United States exported $83 billion in goods and services to India last year alone.

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,”

Thank you. My father fought in WWII. He would be devastated by what is happening in our country now.
Honored to give remarks yesterday on the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, tragic period not just in Europe but also across Asia under the brutal occupation of Japan. At a time of rising authoritarianism, we must remember that our freedom, democracy, and peace were hard fought and won.

Welcome to trumpistan.
Over 300 MILLION American citizen's files stolen by DOGE. Why can't 1 person with access steal the EPSTEIN Files? #LEAKtheEPSTEIN_Files
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.
Exactly!
Hello MAGA co-Americans, This is not turning out the way you wanted it to. Your guy is appointing idiots, destroying the FBI and our intelligence agencies, helping Russia, ruining the economy, and now turns out to have been very closely associated with a very sick fuck. Please come to your senses.
Reality check. Our president applauds a war criminal and leading candidate for 21st century Hitler, sends National Guard troops to our streets to pick up trash and defend donut stores, tanks the economy, persecutes enemies, and could be a pedophile. Where are the Epstein Files?
🎯
Fascism feasts on mediocre people who think they have been wronged. They are vengeful and cruel. They are Hitler’s willing executioners.
RFK Jr cut half a billion dollars in research funding for mRNA vaccines. He & Marty Makary claim mRNA vaccines are “risky” so they’ll shift to “traditional, older” vaccine tech that’s “safer.” Guess what? We used to immunize people by blowing powdered smallpox scabs up their noses. 1/

Meanwhile, we just spent $280 million on Alligator Alcatraz, which is already being closed down because it violates the law, and we're sending $350 billion in tax breaks over the next 10 years to foreign investors. This is a truly evil and immoral agenda. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
The truth is out there.
“The Court should not enjoin a democratically enacted law on which so many students depend without careful deliberation informed by arguments on both sides of the issues,” Public Justice argued to a federal judge. The judge blocked the law on Friday without even considering the group’s arguments.
If we’re supposed to ‘send people back home,’ why are we deporting them to third countries with records of unimaginable human rights violations?

The fun would be watching Chump's reaction to it. 🤯 #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
If what we hope will happen ever happens, we'll watch as many, many people in the world of politics, overnight, go on to pretend they were always against what preceded it. This era has been a highly effective acid test for character. Take notes now, so that you don't forget in the future.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
Little kids are having to use their bodies to shield friends from gunfire while armed soldiers are busy picking up trash.
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.
CHAOS ERUPTS AT CDC CDC Director Susan Monarez has been ousted after RFK Jr. demanded she change her policy on the COVID vaccine. Top officials from the Vaccine Unit, Zoonotic Division, and the Chief Medical Officer are resigning, per reports. Horrifying news for public health.

You're not going to believe this but Susan Collins is "extremely alarmed"
And there you have it. #OccupiedAmerica #ItsACoup
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.
Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.
