I'm just going to keep noting that the owner and operator of Twitter -- the social media that too many politicians and pundits use to determine what's "normal" -- keeps on pushing the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory that has been the motivation for multiple mass shootings in this country.
Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.
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.
Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.
Quite the image from a Labor Day rally in Ellsworth. (Hard not to notice that Susan Collins is the only member of Maine's four-member federal delegation not to have posted anything on social media today about Labor Day, the importance of honoring workers etc etc.) tinyurl.com/yb26uc7w #MEpolitics
See what a "soft war" of tariffs does to our global partners? It unites them against us and portrays the US as an enemy that must be defended against in the world order. Xi, Putin, Modi signal unity against U.S.-led dominance. www.upi.com/Top_News/US/...
I don't care if Dump announces that he died and was replaced by a body double or abducted by aliens. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES!!!
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.
New in PN: RFK Jr gives Republicans a chance to defy Trump on easy mode "What’s really notable is the extent to which GOP leaders have remained supine even in the face of a radical assault on their grandchildren by a transparent death-dealing fraud who wasn’t even a member of the party a year ago."
More framing like this, please www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
"We do not have the luxury of time. We have received credible reports that we have days, not weeks, before our city sees some type of militarized activity by the federal government.” - Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson
Lawmakers have waited all year for the Supreme Court to save them from Trump’s unprecedented refusal to spend federal cash that Congress already approved. They may not get closure anytime soon.
Deteriorate, you fat bastard.
The argument is: We're all meant to sacrifice a bit, so that tariffs can help rebuild American manufacturing. Let's ask American manufacturers whether they're helping.
THAT'S NICE BUT WHAT ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES

Add in that the MN shooter might have been preventable if FBI and DHS hadn't refocused their domestic terrorism policing, and FBI didn't even MENTION the terrorist attack at CDC.
The president’s favorite TV show is helping to ease the country onto a glide path toward Trump’s authoritarian goal of putting troops on the ground in more U.S. cities. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...
Being pro-drowning of children seems like a real are-we-the-baddies moment www.npr.org/sections/sho...
A Democratic super PAC is launching a $700,000 digital ad blitz slamming Susan Collins for opposing a bipartisan bill that would ban members of Congress from trading stocks. This ad accuses Collins of “the worst kind of greed… using insider information to trade stocks.” Please WATCH and SHARE. 👀
This is not reporting. This is propaganda.
Lori Chavez-DeRemer: "I was elected as the Labor Secretary for all Americans" (She was not elected)
ICE is on track to gain access to controversial spyware designed to hack phones and read private messages after the Trump administration jettisoned a Biden-era order.
BREAKING: Judge Breyer orders an injunction in LA, finding Trump's deployment of the National Guard to assist with law enforcement violates the Posse Comitatus Act, equating Trump's move to a "national police force with the president as its chief." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
(Homer Simpson whisper) HE MEANS WHITE PEOPLE
Woohoo!! #fdt #Epsteinfiles #sandwichguy
New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. 😭
Thank you on this labor day!!
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.
If he DOES come back for a press briefing, first question should be EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN. And as a follow up, EPSTEIN.
New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.
NEW: Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, I will. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trump-must...
Creative writing prompt: Make a simple press statement about a car accident sound suspicious on at least three different levels.
This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.
No notes
Where is the mainsteam media? Anyone out there? Can you hear me???
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.

Nine former heads of the CDC—appointed by presidents of both parties—warn the nation of the immense peril RFK Jr is putting the country in. Gift link, please send to families and friends www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Trump and Republicans attack unions because they know organized workers are powerful. But let’s be clear: workers built this country—not billionaires. (1/2)
Sounds like a scientific study to me.
Sorry, what’s the “tension”?
Instead of posting the Ten Commandments in public places let’s post the 25th Amendment
Trump's dodging the cameras as much as he's been dodging the Epstein files
Congrats!!!
For people without X accounts. I finally found a way to read the stroke theory and honestly, it's delicious. nitter.poast.org/adamscochran...

Brilliant

I don’t normally ask to hear from the president but it’d be nice to see if he can still complete a sentence
When unions are strong, our communities and our country are strong. Every person in our nation has benefited from the labor movement. This Labor Day, we celebrate the workers and unions who have fought for fair wages, safe workplaces, and sick leave for all of us.
What could possibly go wrong?
Trump leaves the White House this morning (Andrew Caballero/Getty)
We dumped a president for being too old only to elect one who immediately died. You can't say that's not funny
#art #political
Dear Trump staffers: It would really help sell the whole thing if you were a bit less observant of traditional rules of grammar, punctuation, and casing in his social media posts.
9 Former CDC Directors who were all qualified for their posts are warning that deranged chaos agent RFK Jr is a danger to public health. I’d say he’s actively destroying public health and committing murder on a daily basis with his destructive monstrous agenda.
This is, of course, false. The United States exported $83 billion in goods and services to India last year alone.
The National Guardners
You guys see where this is going? Right?
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
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.
JB Pritzker to CBS on Trump deploying troops: "He'd like to stop the elections in 2026 or, frankly, take control of those elections. He'll just claim that there's some problem with an election, and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control if, in fact, he's allowed to do this."
Here is the police report which is very different than what his spokesman put out manchester.inklink.news/rudy-giulian...
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
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.
Pour one out for Judge Sparkle Sooknanan’s clerks this Labor Day weekend
This is the way
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
When it happens: red, white & blue smoke should come out of the White House chimney.
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
I called this segregationist way back in February: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
Early night for Sleepy Don. Not even any insults either.
I cannot believe that guests on MSNBC actually used the phrase “child prostitute” which is a phrase that SHOULD NEVER BE USED. It suggests that children have agency and are making an adult decision and they are NOT and CANNOT, they are purely the victims of adults! Disgusting
More name changes afoot… Department of Defense = Department of War Department of Education = Department of Keeping You Stupid Center for Disease Control = Center for Crackpot Conspiracies Department of Agriculture = Department of Subsidies for Farmers going broke from tariffs
Not under oath? So not a deposition, just a sideshow. EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN
This text is quoted accurately. It is also a clarifying lie. Totalitarian governments know that normal people do not have time or resources to research every health, economic, or security issue. Their project of attacking all expertise is a project of seizing trust & thus power for themselves.

They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.
@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!
The Trump administration are arguing in Court that they should have the right to *Traffic children*. That’s all you need to know. 🚨🚩 Let that sink in…‼️🚨🚩 🤬🤢🤮
