Lori Chavez-DeRemer: "I was elected as the Labor Secretary for all Americans" (She was not elected)
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.
Sen. Roger Marshall on the CDC purge: "This is the same group of so-called experts that told the entire country we should live in fear of monkeypox, but failed to tell us that unless you're a homosexual man you don't have to worry about this at all, that monkeypox is a sexually transmitted disease."
GOP Rep Chuck Edwards is confronted by infuriated constituents at his town hall.
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
😆
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...
Imagine being this hateful. Florida should spend more money on its education system and less on trying to marginalize those who are marginalized.
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…
Men, if you have a small penis, just register as a Republican and you’ll become a big dick.
Instagram influencer Adventorin goes viral after demonstrating how simple it is to climb over the U.S. Border Wall.
Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.

Ha. Haha. Haaa. I get it.
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.
when he does finally go i will demand not just the death certificate but the long form death certificate
No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, it’s not criminals they’re targeting. www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
This is the most compelling case I’ve seen yet that America is no longer a democracy but an authoritarian state. Not a *soon-to-be* authoritarian state—a *current* one.
FEMA employee on leave describes "culture of fear “ among agency employee
What a ridiculous person.
💉 Shingles vaccine and heart health A global review found the shingles jab was linked to an 18% lower risk of heart attack or stroke, with protective effects seen even in younger adults. 🔗 www.theguardian.com/society/2025... #SciComm #HeartHealth #Vaccines 🧪
Who voted for war with Venezuela?
Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
What in the ever loving fuck is going on here
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
You know who benefits most from antivaccine conspiracy theories as national health policy? Our enemies.
Russian Telegram channels report a large fire at Balashikha,Moscow It is reported that warehouses belonging to the Balashikha Experimental Chemical Plant&the TDK company,which distributes household chemicals,have caught fire. According to eyewitnesses,the flames have spread to nearby structures.
Live your life such that everyone doesn’t spend ten solid years planning the rager they’re going to throw when you die.
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
Lots of right-wing political pastors and charlatans about to get rich from FEMA money.
It’s time to take serious action at the State Capitol to address gun violence.
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
“Do you guys feel bad about what you’re doing? Don’t you f*cking hate yourselves?”
What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?
Good.

see this, North Carolina? capturing immigrants and banning trans people from existence is better than supporting social welfare programs? huh? 😒
If this oleaginous haircut thinks local crime rates merit a federal military intervention, then he should be leading the armored column down to his home state of Louisiana, which is one of the worst in the nation.
The same people who villainize Dr. Anthony Fauci, an actual doctor with a speciality in immunology and research in virology, are praising RFK Jr who has never seen the inside of a lab.
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
Mike Johnson dismisses the unpopularity of the Big Beautiful Bill: "The individual provisions of that giant piece of legislation are wildly popular." CNN host John Berman immediately debunks that claim.
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
I absolutely love the FEARLESS Dr. Peter Hotez!!!!!

SPEAKER MIKE “HOOKED ON PORN” JOHNSON SAID I, GAVIN CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS NEWSOM BUILDER OF THE BEST MAPS, SHOULD FOCUS ON GOVERNING MY STATE. LETS NOT FORGET “MAGIC MIKE” SHUT DOWN THE HOUSE AND WENT ON EARLY RECESS BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID OF THE VOTE ON RELEASING THE ESPTEIN FILES! - GCN
I’m looking forward to watching Lame Duck Ron Desantis’s attempts to gain traction to revive his dead end political career as a private citizen using money he has to raise himself rather than pissing away taxpayer funds and abusing govt power.
"It's further eroding...the credibility of those who are in leadership positions in our military, that they would allow full military honors to someone who lost their life while committing the act of sedition." Michael Fanone discusses Ashli Babbitt with JVL:
Two days later ….
How it started How it’s going @SenJoniErnst edition
Disgraceful.
RFK Jr was not chosen to preside over US public health and science because he had any qualifications. He had a famous family name and Trump needed his endorsement and supporters. We saw it happen live in this call. That’s why we are here.
🔥 @mizzwelch.bsky.social : “It’s the complete moral collapse of the 🇺🇸 government… the cabinet meeting with 3.5 hours of superficial praise is so cringeworthy… he redecorated the Oval Office like Marie Antoinette and built himself a ballroom because he has zero intention of leaving…”
Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"
WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “If a Democratic president were doing any of these things you would be losing your mind.” 🎯
Ashli Babbitt died doing what she loved—being a domestic terrorist.
"Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action." Then why is prayer, literally, *always* the substitute for action, you willfully obtuse asshole?
I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.
FOX: *plays clip of Gavin Newsom pointing out that crime is higher in Louisiana than in California* FOX: Your response? MIKE JOHNSON: He needs to go an govern his state and not be engaging in this
This really pissed them off. Good.
Pushing out top officials. Firing hundreds of lifelong public health experts. Trying to slash the CDC’s budget by billions. How is this “Making America Healthy Again”?
I’ve seen a lot of fucked up shit in my day, but this might just take the cake.
Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.
Half of Christian evangelical television is definitely on the Epstein List.
"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."
the promotion of fossil fuel capitalism doesn’t help

Welch: This is a guy who has redecorated the oval Marie Antoinette style and is building himself a ballroom because he has no intention of leaving.
Rep. Mark Alford to his angry constituents: "If you didn't want to hear my lies, why did you come here?" #BlueCrew
WHOOPSIE DOODLE
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets
Karoline Leavitt: "I saw the comments of Ms. Psaki and frankly I think they're incredibly insensitive and disrespectful to the tens of millions of Americans of faith across this country who believe in the power of prayer, who believe that prayer works."
Refusing to act, then falsely accusing those who want to see something tangible done to protect kids of attacking prayer on top of it, is doubly shameless.
CINDY MCCAIN: “The desperation is overwhelming.”
Little kids are having to use their bodies to shield friends from gunfire while armed soldiers are busy picking up trash.
Angus: I’m saying we need to start building progressive media that people actually listen to. I’ll give you an example: MeidasTouch. Wherever I go in Canada, working-class people listen to MeidasTouch because they talk about what’s happening in a practical way. They give facts.
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”
Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
Don’t look away
You're not going to believe this but Susan Collins is "extremely alarmed"
"Marc Elias’s Democracy Docket has quietly become a pro-democracy media force, expanding its newsroom to 20 staffers as it surpasses 50,000 paid subscribers." Story here: www.status.news/p/democracy-...
Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION Starbucks worker pay: $15,000 Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000 CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker. In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more. The system is rigged.
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.
Just in case you forgot…
GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )
Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
Curious what the reasoning for this could possibly be. My first thought it that it was a Putin request
DO NOT PUT CHILDREN ON TV TALKING ABOUT A SHOOTING THEY JUST LIVED THROUGH The media who do this are heartless bastards
Are vaccines safe? Let's ask this guy who sounds like a dying refrigerator compressor
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
