KOH: “Trump Stripped 1 million workers’ bargaining rights while plastering his face on the Labor Dept… Closed miner health clinics… Cut $2.4 Billion from youth & senior job programs… This is the real story of Trump & Labor.” #LaborDay
To be clear: Trump’s tariffs + Trump’s trillions transfer amount to the biggest tax INCREASE on regular folks ever… yet @MarshaBlackburn calls it “the biggest tax CUT ever” — because for rich people it is, and they are all she cares about. She hopes we don’t understand this.
ICYMI — NPR: “The effort to deal with the emerging humanitarian crisis was complicated by a president (Biden) who felt a deep responsibility to 🇮🇱 and its security, and whether to openly confront 🇮🇱 or use punitive measures, like withholding military aid.” www.npr.org/2025/08/28/n...

"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.

This meme but for Elon Musk posting incessantly about how we need turboracism in England while he’s been bullied out of talking about US politics and doesn’t even know what’s going on in Canada
Something I’ve only noticed recently but it’s funny that Elon supports ultranationalist xenophobe movements everywhere (today he tweeted about AfD, Reform & Advance UK, and Japanese anti immigration protests) but almost never talks about Canada, the country him & several of his kids are citizens of
lmao @ both the ridiculous idea that $15T is being invested in the US because of the tariffs or that we’d become a “third world nation” without them
This ongoing "we're mad at India for buying oil from Russia, our strategic adversary who we are neutral-to-positive about" routine is also ridiclous. India is nowhere near the only buyer of Russian oil, nor is it even the biggest!
A 1941 WPA road gang of migrant workers in New Mexico, many of whom were simultaneously working as farm laborers. Trump would have deported all of them.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
California stepping up.

I didn’t really need more evidence that RFK Jr is nuts and delusional.
Spent the day driving around Manchester, New Hampshire, a city for 80-something New Yorkers in deep debt apparently. I was driving alone, something I’m known to do. I saw a woman fleeing domestic violence. I “rendered aid,” vaguely. Minutes or maybe an hour later I was walloped by a Mack truck.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
First Elon says “read the warning labels.”
What is going on here?

“Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats’ work,” Trump said of his supporters’ focus on the Epstein files, as his forceful rejection of the conspiracies shatters loyalty in his base and sparks a high-stakes rift. open.substack.com/pub/theintel...

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.

FEDWATCH: With reciprocal tariffs “hanging in the balance, the Administration will shift more levies to 301/232, thereby sustaining the impact on PCE and likely increasing the tariff pass-through, which could lift core [inflation] .. well above 3 percent .. bonds are likely to react negatively ..”
Weird photo. Is this the angle he chooses to show because he is being treated with steroids? If so, did the steroids also remind him of Roger Clemens? 🤔

JB Pritzker uses the word "invasion" to describe what Trump has planned for my city, Chicago. And that's exactly what it would be – an autocratic government trying to crush our dissent because we oppose his corruption, cruelty and incompetence. It's what dictators do.
the sun would no longer rise without tariffs
University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index was 74.0 in December, now 58.2 in August. Conference Board’s consumer confidence index was 104.7, now 97.4. Government officials shouldn’t go on TV and blatantly lie like this.
These people are in a cult and live inside a batshit alternate reality and are trying to get as many Americans as possible to join them inside it.
