The lack of ego Rep. Nadler is showing is a perfect example of putting service before self. This deserves so many props and respect. Thank you, @nadler.house.gov.

Happy Labor Day! For over a century, Illinois has been the epicenter of the fight for workers’ rights. Working families are the bulwark that has made our state the 5th largest economy in the nation. Today, we celebrate workers and their leadership of Illinois’ success.
America’s vicious cycle: Corporations crush workers to protect their bottom lines, then use their profits to lobby for policies that allow them to keep crushing workers. Labor Day is the perfect time to remind ourselves it doesn’t have to be this way. https://youtu.be/JSralhrpK44?feature=shared
India, China and Russia are about to forge a global trade alliance that may even supplant the U.S. dollar as the principal trade currency. That would be disastrous for us. The thing is we might (maybe) beat the GOP in 26, but so much damage will be done

Vaccine sceptic RFK Jr has called for the retraction of a Danish study that found no link between aluminium in vaccines and chronic diseases in children — a rare move... “Kennedy has demonstrated that he wants the scientific literature to bend to his will”, says Oransky. Scientific American
Labor Day in Nevada County! Powerful message 💙
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.
"'I asked a man in prison once how he happened to be there and he said he had stolen a pair of shoes. I told him if he had stolen a railroad he would be a United States Senator.'"

The United States has seen 291 mass shootings in 2025. That’s more than one mass shooting every day. This isn’t normal. Weapons of war don’t belong on the streets. We need real action to save lives.
Chief of Staff: okay you handle truth social for the day, use the template we gave you White House Intern: shouldn’t we make the last ones memorable? Chief of Staff: no, follow the template. White House Intern:
Austin Labor Day: really catchy music and great energy! Really love the vibe!
Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭
Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.
Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.

Geoff Bennett: You say that poetry is not useful, and that's exactly why we need it. Why? David Duchovny: "We want to get educated to be able to work, to have a job of some kind, which is great and it's necessary. But we've lost sight of educating a mind on how to think or a soul how to feel."

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
📌 Nice to see D.C. show up day after day. ✊🏼 Power to the people!
Yeah he's not beating the allegations
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.
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.

BREAKING: We just launched the #First45TaxFree campaign, a working class tax cut paid for by millionaires. No one working full-time should be taxed into poverty. That’s why we want to make the first $45K income tax-free. Yup, you read that right. First 45 tax free.
#AL01 Rep. Barry Moore tried to lie to his constituents about the higher prices they've been stuck paying, but was drowned out by chants demanding answers about Trump's trade war. "Who pays the tariffs?! Who pays the tariffs?!"

At least while alienating all of our allies, Trump has been instrumental in bringing others closer together.

Happy Labor Day to the union workers who built America’s middle class.
*Trump* may not be canny enough to be *planning* to weaponize the government in a methodical way, but "there are people behind the scenes...and they know what they're doing." @radiofreetom.bsky.social talks Trump's abuses of power and more with @timmiller.bsky.social:
"To pretend that her death deserves the same recognition as that young soldier at the gate is obscene. It is a betrayal of the oath she once swore and a desecration of the sacrifice made by so many who kept faith with theirs."
Not today, Satan‼️ Got this garbage in the mail a few days ago. Republicans trying to trick California voters into voting NO on Prop 50. Suddenly they care about “democracy”? Please. Vote YES on Prop 50. Don’t let the cheaters write the rules.

This labor day let’s never forget that the President of the United States has laid off a quarter million hard working Americans in the name of efficiency while simultaneously spending $200 million dollars on a golden ballroom for the White House.

Leaving aside the typical histrionics, this seems to be Trump beginning to distance himself from Kennedy (who’s “ripping apart” CDC), and inviting mainstream physicians and scientists to defend the vaccines, so Trump can then say, I got them to explain it better and vaccines are OK.
This photo was taken of miners at the end of their shift during the Gilded Age before they were unionized. A Labor Day reminder of the blood, sweat, and tears that those before us paid to give the working class the basic rights that Trump and his thugs are trying to strip away.

I could not stand that pompous ass.

"I'm a big believer that Maryland will be, can be, and should be the state that serves, and I believe that service is the thing that's gonna end up saving us all." @iamwesmoore.bsky.social joins @johnavlon.bsky.social in the latest episode of How To Fix It:
Meanwhile, cases are spiking as kids go back to school. We need to keep wearing masks as often as possible, because this administration is working toward a Walking Dead future for the United States...
79% of homicides in America are committed with firearms. But somehow the politicians who are unwilling to do ANYTHING to make it less likely that violent or unstable people get their hands on guns have the nerve to accuse THEIR OPPONENTS of being “soft on crime.”

This Labor Day, we recognize VA employees who serve our veterans every day. While we honor their contributions, their right to collectively bargain is under attack. Real respect for labor means protecting the fundamental right to organize. Our veterans deserve a strong, unionized VA workforce.

Today's a federal holiday because on the eve of the 20th century machinists, carpenters, and people who worked in mills, mines, and factories joined together to fight for better wages and a day to honor working people. If you're enjoying the holiday today, thank the labor movement.

Last year, voters in Missouri passed a measure to protect abortion rights. But Republicans in the state have repeatedly blocked the referendum from taking effect—and are adding a new measure to election ballots that would largely overturn it.

🚨When all is said and done the money that was WASTED on Alligator Alcatraz could’ve easily been the 1 TRILLION that was cut from Medicaid.

I believe that 99% of what RFK Jr. does is motivated by: 1. Protecting his ego and vanity. He must convince people vaccines are bad b/c he can’t be wrong. Endless photos of himself exercising b/c vanity. 2. Creating conditions for his law firm to increase profits from suing various companies.

It's his imagination and we're just lucky to be living in it.
Generations of workers in America bled and died to win dignity on the job. They stood together against those who refused to recognize their humanity. On Labor Day, as fascism rises again, we honor those who came before us and carry forward their spirit of solidarity & defiance. Fight like hell. ✊
Lots of people with questions about this The government said there were 76 putative class members (children) loaded on planes yesterday But the putative class covered by the judge’s order isn’t limited to kids that were loaded on planes for imminent deportation That’s why the ~600 estimate
