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.
DESCRIPTION: self-described alpha male, wearing body armor, assault rifle, and wraparound sunglasses because he’s “afraid of nothing.”
Today’s press pool photo shows Trump leaving the White House this morning. I enhanced the image. And seriously, can an expert explain what the hell is happening to his forehead? Right above his nose and right brow.
The National Guardners
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
Good to see some of the elders in the fight.
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
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.
If this is the “strong leader” they keep selling us, why are they hiding him like Weekend at Bernie’s? 👀
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.
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
SIGNS OF FASCISM 🪧
He can pretend to be dead all he wants. I still want the Epstein files released.
Good night 🌙 and….
A Texas Republican lawmaker suggested in 2022 that a way to deal with immigrants is to “shoot, shovel and shut up.” The comments could strengthen the legal challenge to the state’s gerrymander by demonstrating racial discrimination against Latinos. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
What a ridiculous person.
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
We all know Trump’s strategy is to try and overwhelm people so they’ll unplug and he can complete his power grab. Here’s how to fight back. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Is it true that nobody has seen him since Tuesday?
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
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.
We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.
long weekend at bernie's
GOP the most horrible fucking people in american history and always have been no matter what they called themselves at the time, it's always been jesus freaks, dumb rednecks, nazi's and rich assholes, the main core, same people
Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
Trump hasn’t been seen publicly for three days, and I so could get used to this.
Washington, D.C. is once again caught in the middle of America's debate over race, policing, and power. What started as a presidential order to "restore order" has quickly turned into a daily reminder of how Black communities are often the first to feel the brunt of government overreach.
Mocked, reviled, despised, shamed on the world stage,. Police, ICE, military, National Guard. The whole world is watching YOU burn your reputations to the ground.
We can't even play basketball 🏀 🤬
‼️‼️
Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America — which we don’t currently have.
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
Just admit it: You love your guns more than your children. The first step is acknowledging the problem.
Children have to deal with mass shootings in schools while certain adults can't even handle a logo change.
It's possible ... hear me out, here …. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
The cognitive dissonance required to be anti-abortion (“saving” babies) and anti-vaccine, risking children’s lives and health through exposure to vaccine-preventable diseases is staggering.
It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.
If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.

RFK, Jr., heroin addict, sex addict, anti-vaccination lunatic and aspiring archirect of millions of deaths by purging the CDC. He gutted the world’s premiere public-health agency to destroy vaccine science and plunge this nation into the Middle Ages. therickwilson.substack.com/p/rfj-jr-is-...

Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.
AT LEAST..... THEY ARE NOT HARRASSING NON WHITE PEOPLE!
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.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.

After DEA GOONS begin to harass and question a man sitting in Starburst Plaza in NE Washington DC, local neighbors remind him of his rights and stand with him until the GOONS give up on their harassment.
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

“Transparent”
Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year. They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.

If you didn't fight against voter suppression in the 2024 you chose this for America. Harris cheated out of 3,650,000 votes by these Jim Crow tricks. 4.7 million voters purged. 3.2 million registrations rejected. 2.1 million mail-in ballots tossed. See tinyurl.com/28futdwr
Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned” She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired. The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”
This is not who we are. We must join together to call this out, to make more people understand what is happening and work to stop it.
The Iowa Senate seat that Democratic candidate Catelin Drey flipped tonight has been in GOP hands for 13 years. Not anymore.
