"Department of War" is not a step towards peace, it's a step towards baking WAR into the fabric of our culture. This must be stopped. This is not who we are. It is simple abuse of power -- Trump breaks things just so he can fix them, and he's renaming things just to flex his flabby arms.
Moving Space Command away from NORAD is stupid. Colorado already has the existing ecosystem to support both the command and the operations. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
#Seaweed farms are a dual solution for climate change & sustainable energy. - don't require freshwater, fertilizer, or arable land to grow, making it one of the most eco-friendly resources - naturally absorbs massive amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis helping 1/...
Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.

Platner: I believe that input from working people is far more important than input from someone who simply has money. I believe that we shouldn’t be settling for crumbs while billionaires eat the cookie we baked.
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
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.
We are suing Texas in two cases -- one voting, one redistricting.
VOTE BLUE!
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.
take care of yourself, Seth.
If they enact a new illegal congressional map, Missouri will be sued.
We are already suing Ohio.
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
Good to see some of the elders in the fight.
This is the way
Steven Colbert and his wife appeared in the crowd at the Alcaraz match, and the arena went wild when his face hit the screen. People clearly adore him—and honestly, seeing that joy gave me a surge of hope.
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,”
My first rough idea: to think about all the times a total stranger has helped me- just out of the goodness of their heart- and to somehow speak about and remind how we are all related as human beings - and that cruelty and injustice towards one - diminishes us all. Every little kindness begets more
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
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.
All the rest aside: Think of the size of a hat box. Now. Think of 400 hat boxes. Chances are - that's comfortably- about 2 rooms worth.

"Living for the City" by Stevie Wonder (1973): This song tells the story of a young Black man who leaves the hardship of a rural town for the urban jungle, only to be framed and jailed.
One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.

Imagine if Dems could take back the senate. (Long odds, I know.) Just the effect on the judiciary alone would be huge. Susan Collins has never been a moderate, and Trump has her vote anytime he really needs it. Maine has a better choice in @grahamformaine.bsky.social. Give him a follow.
If Missouri Republicans mid-cycle redistrict and break the law, they will be sued. That is a promise and I don't bluff. Just ask Texas. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
All the racket about releasing the epstein junk is in lieu of actually focusing on what trumpo and his thugs are doing. Sure we can chew on a bunch of stuff all at once- but if anyone thinks the epstein files haven't been sanforized and tidied up- is naïeve.
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...
he and his buddies will divy that up pretty fast.
It just keeps getting better.
"Law and order president" Sends troops to intimidate citizens and ignore actual crime areas Does nothing about school shootings Influences his own mob of vigilantes, cultists, and gun fetishists ➡️Withdraws protection for his election opponent t.co/4zSLeclsDm

Disgraceful.
My goodness. vance is setting us all up for a shift in the White House. Yes indeed. vance has been telegraphing a sudden trumpo exit. And then he takes over. vance is super tired of waiting in the wings. If he's spouting off- the puppet masters are gearing up. This is not a test.
This is what rational thinking looks like
New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.
I was on with Nicolle Wallace and got to break news! We discussed the ongoing redistricting wars and a lot more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h68Y...

I can't even screenshot it--the entire letter is worth a full read. And I will say it again--our state public health agencies really need to step up now & fight against RFKJ's harmful extremist policies: open.substack.com/pub/simonwdc...
After the Wednesday massacre at the CDC, Senator Patty Murray calls for the immediate firing of RFK Jr, a public health terrorist. Enough is enough! We agree. Please sign this petition and share it. www.change.org/p/rfk-jr-mus...

Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
Thoughts and prayers and lowered flags don’t cut it. It’s time for Congress to do more to stop senseless mass shootings.
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.
Hey ding-dong bat witch- prayers haven't worked so far- have they. Have they?????
There is a massive walk out at the CDC by staff unfolding right now. It is NECESSARY. I stand in solidarity with my CDC colleagues. standing up for science and public health. It is a moral imperative.
Here he goes.
CDC employees standing up and walking out in light of the mass shootings, firings, and *waves hands in the air* everything else. #USAnotRFK Lets gooooo

If you are in one of the drought areas, maybe put out a water bowl or two for some of the wild creatures who are struggling. I saw five dead voles at the side of the road today in different places. Apparently they have been driven from underground because of the dry conditions, searching for water.
Monarez’s attorneys, Mark Zaid and Abbe Lowell, said in a statement Wednesday that “Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor received notification from the White House that she has been fired, and as a person of integrity and devoted to science, she will not resign.” www.forbes.com/sites/antoni...
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
I thought her attorney had filed and she'd refused to resign.]
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.
This is very true. Your heart is indeed very very broken. Otherwise- you and your GOP people would have made laws that helped protect children. (and the rest of us)
And it looks like the banner portrait is his mugshot photo...
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
He is taking over union station from Amtrak so he can deploy goons across the nation using the rail system. I think the US is at a very scary crossroads.
I don't blame him.
!!!!
If RFK Jr. says he can diagnose by simple visuals...then by his own logic the rest of us can do the same and diagnose him. Right?
This is what leadership looks like.

The de minimis exemption, which allowed imported packages worth less than $800 to enter the U.S. without facing any duties, will end for all countries on August 29.
Conspiracies? Is that what it all boils down to for him? Well I can be just as mental/cynical about his motivations - and assume there's some money, power or glory in it for him. P.S. I hear ya- I'm angry - ... not at you
Who is paying this guy RFK Jr.?? What's he get out of all the carnage? There really has to be an answer to this- or-well... is he really and truly just insane?
Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): “If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
I'm tired of this theater where Donald Trump asks Republicans to do something, they seem to push bank and then cave. The only two factions of the current GOP are proud MAGA and scared MAGA. Anyone who thinks Republicans are acting in good faith is delusional.

This is very bad news. Louisiana won't even defend its own map in SCOTUS. It abandoned its own Black voters. Those of us committed to defending the VRA are now entirely on our own. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
If you are a California voter be on the lookout for anti Prop 50 mailers like this one. I received one of these and It’s a trick that was created by Charles Munger Jr. and a bunch of others. Munger Jr. has spent $10 Million to defeat Prop 50 aka the Election Rigging Response Act.
Vanity Fair staffers threaten to walk out over a proposed Melania cover: “We are not going to normalize this despot and his wife… if this happens, i’m gone, and so is half my team.” www.thedailybeast.com/i-will-walk-...
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.
