Good morning, you beautiful humans. We have some good momentum going into this week ahead of Thursday’s hearing. Let’s use it! Call your reps, demand they fire RFK Jr. They’re listening- we’ll see which of them steps up to do the right thing. #SaveHHS #USAnotRFK #FireRFKJr
#Resist #VisitYourNationalParks
That’s the spirit!
Hey hey Ho ho…
Good morning to everyone who never refers to a bike lane delineated by plastic flexposts as a *protected* bike lane because they know that plastic flexposts don't actually protect anyone from anything except maybe DOTs from liability.
🇩🇪 Merz: Putin is a war criminal. He is perhaps the most serious war criminal of our time that we have seen on a large scale. We must be clear about how to deal with war criminals: There is no room for leniency.

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.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Now we see another accumulation of Russian forces on some parts of the front. But it does not want to force peace. Russia continues to strike. Of course, we will respond to this. Respond, including asymmetrically, so that Russia definitely feels the consequences of its impudence.
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.
In Portland today, a roaring crowd welcomed Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, signaling real momentum in his challenge to Susan Collins.

A judge ruled that Trump can't act as national police chief, declaring that the president broke the law when he deployed troops to Los Angeles.
Dumping drugs and stolen secrets???
They're supposed to be closed at all times? moneywise.com/life/enterta...
A federal court just ruled in favor of what we've been saying for months: Using the military on U.S. soil against Americans is needlessly provocative, authoritarian, and ILLEGAL. We must continue to stand up for our communities and the rule of law.
A good read about a terrible person Russ Vought.
Last weekend, I retraced the steps of two of the most important moments in American (and Chicago) labor history, starting with the Haymarket Massacre. But the Haymarket Massacre wasn’t just a tragedy. It still provides a compass for us to fight against fascism today:
“LIKE A BROKEN RECORD” Now that the @nytimes is reporting Modi and Trump had a falling out over Trump’s lie that he deserves credit for the India-Pakistan ceasefire, we re-submit to you this clip of an Indian anchor calling him out months ago — even as 🇺🇸 media wouldn’t.
As a distraction from those same women. And likely to be louder than them.
The US military will conduct a flyover of the White House and wider DC at 11am tomorrow (Wednesday). Epstein’s victims will be holding a press conference on Capitol Hill around the same time.

It’s more so based upon the average age of voters who actually voted. The older voters have a tendency to actually go to the polls or take the time to do the absentee ballots. She’s a familiar name (since she’s been on the ballot a very long time).
Meanwhile, I’m thinking “Damn! I missed it!” Definitely not all of us were in attendance.
Donald Trump and House Republicans gutted Medicaid and are destroying the Affordable Care Act. You deserve better.

180 shots fired, 150 broken windows. Tumultuous firings and resignations at the CDC. The installation of a techno-optimist with a history of pushing unproven medical treatments. The month of August 2025 may go down as the worst in the history of the US Health and Human Services Department.
I'm sure that when he dies we will give him all the respect that he deserves. I know I will.

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
As a Retired Brigadier General, I know firsthand the proper role of our military. A federal judge was right to block Donald Trump’s illegal attempt to use the National Guard as his personal police force in California.
A Democratic super PAC is launching a $700,000 digital ad blitz slamming Susan Collins for opposing a bipartisan bill that would ban members of Congress from trading stocks. This ad accuses Collins of “the worst kind of greed… using insider information to trade stocks.” Please WATCH and SHARE. 👀
She apparently WAS there. So why block off all routes again?
I had an experience last night, at a candidate event and I'd talked about some of the threats and harassment myself and others had faced on council. A woman came up to me afterwards and said, what you're described is abuse and it's not okay. And it was just such a profound moment.
A note to RFKJ- don’t cross the nurses. They’re tough as nails and get things done. We’re glad to have National Nurses United join the fight against unscientific nonsense.

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.
I think we need to have monthly vigils.

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
I signed three bipartisan bills to improve mental health and addiction care in Oregon. Everyone should have access to help when they need it, no matter where they live or what they can afford. We are expanding services and strengthening our health care workforce.
Republicans stole Americas Future!!
