Chuck Schumer must go. He is still damaging and worthless to the Democratic Party.
Chuck Schumer's right-leaning agenda has always been about the Baileys for the last 50 years. 1 small problem: They don't exist, never have, and never will. The Baileys, the ordinary middle-class citizens he knows so well.
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump said in a weekend social media post he plans to issue an executive order to impose voter ID requirements. And he reiterated his desire to ban mail voting. The president lacks the authority to take either step. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

One of my pet peeves. NYT and others keep calling him a vaccine skeptic not a vaccine opponent.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
⚡️Ukrainian authorities arrest suspect in shooting of politician Andrii Parubii. "The suspect has given an initial testimony. Urgent investigative actions are currently underway to establish all the circumstances of this murder," President Volodymyr Zelensky announced in the early hours of Sept. 1.
So this was the point of Israel’s Gaza genocide and Trump’s complicity in it. Welcome to the Riviera of the Middle East. A more perverse act of depravity is unimaginable. wapo.st/4g2eATo

NEWS: Trump and House Republicans' budget cuts seek to eliminate the HOME affordable housing program that’s built/rehabbed 1.3M homes in 30 yrs, including 540k in rural areas. 84% of those homes are in districts that voted for him. Rural families now face losing their lifeline.
From the WH pool this morning: Trump left for an “unannounced location” at 9:27 a.m. His motorcade then drove to his golf club in Virginia, arriving at 10:02 a.m. “There was one person in a car who gave the motorcade the middle finger as it drove by,” the pool report states.
General strike, massive protests now. No one at the DNC is going to organize it. These are the only options left for us before we are in full on fascism.

Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)

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.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)
California lawmakers reach an agreement with Uber and Lyft that will open the door for app-based drivers to form unions. This is a victory for organized labor that could lay the groundwork for similar efforts in other states.

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.
Kissinger was an evil man who people longed joked/hoped for his passing but Trump is truly unique in that addition to the aforementioned dynamic, he is actively causing massive harm and widespread death every second he breathes. It would be immoral to not to wish for it

"Trying to understand what it means" So frustrating to still hear that from folks. What will it take, an A-Bomb
When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
That not true Hakeem. Republicans and the Trump administration are consumed with taking the government over with a 1 man ruler. Tired and constantly repeating the focking thing.. Trump acquired the hammer. He's pounding nails now!!!
Wasting valuable time talking to Johnson. Americans need to organize and mobilize.
You will live to regret what your saying. Shame on all of you.....
We can't even play basketball 🏀 🤬
It's all a scam to divert money out of the government into Trump's pockets.
Trump has acquired the hammer needed to start pounding nails into our democracy.

Legal and constitutional experts worry Trump is laying the groundwork to use the Guard to seize control of any city he wants to bring to heel. On Monday, he signed an executive order that primes the Guard “for rapid mobilization,” across the country. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...

The state’s argument, in addition to the high-stakes Louisiana redistricting case set to be re-heard in the Supreme Court this fall, is part of a broader push to weaken the Voting Rights Act by restricting who can file lawsuits against discriminatory state actions.
NEW: Mississippi asked the Supreme Court to determine whether voters and advocacy groups can continue filing lawsuits under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The state argued that such lawsuits can only be brought by the Justice Department.

Ukraine's voracious appetite for killer drones, its tech arms race against Russia and the battlefield experience it gives manufacturers make it crucial for companies to be present there. That's why Germany's Quantum Systems is ramping up its production inside Ukraine.

Hello, everyone. Today, thanks to @sbg1.bsky.social and @newyorker.com, I learned a new word. The word is: "butt-snorkeler."

Q: “Are you worried all this pushback could provoke Trump to follow-through with sending the National Guard?” MAYOR @brandon4chicago.bsky.social Johnson: “As a descendant of slaves, can you imagine if my ancestors had that same rationale?“
I do not understand why government officials resign when asked to do something bad. The resignations will no longer be treated by the public like a scandal. It’ll be out of the news within 24 hours. People should stay and force the White House to fire them. Do not make it easy.
Susan Collins was heckled and drowned out by demonstrators at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Maine. "Shame! Shame! Shame!" protesters yelled at Collins. Collins asked the crowd to let her "get through this brief ceremony" — but then she was interrupted again.

Trump lashed out after an Utah judge ordered state lawmakers to redraw the congressional map, calling the ruling “absolutely unconstitutional.” But the decision is firmly rooted in Utah’s democratic process.
