Good deal Lucille. It’s past time for new blood to lead this party away from the abyss.

Military honors for Ashli Babbitt "tells those who gave their lives in defense of the Constitution that their oath was no more meaningful than the motivations of the mob that attacked the Constitution."
To the white guy that called me slurs over and over. You are about to get kicked out of the United States Navy. Actions have consequences.
Your Labor Day reminder that Trump doesn't actually care about working people. Take it from me, a former Secretary of Labor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARL5VvYJUe8
There's very little that the billionaires hate more than workers having rights.
Sigh. This would be amusing if it weren't so sadly likely.
📌NOTE: Apparently, our legacy national media suddenly have other things to do than report on the failing health of the greatest threat to America since the Civil War — which is odd when all we heard about for two years leading up to the 2024 election was Joe Biden’s age and fitness for office ...
Whatever he's got, I hope it's something they were about to find a cure for, but his administration canceled the funding.
Labor Day reminder: Trump is NO friend to organized labor ‼️ He’s ended collective bargaining in federal agencies, kneecapped the National Labor Relations Board, and weakened workplace safety & anti-discrimination protections. Stand with workers. Stand AGAINST Trump.
Trump on the cover of French magazine Le Point. Translation: “Man from Moscow” Le Point is a major French weekly news magazine. It is considered a center-right / conservative-leaning publication.
He’s not traveling to NJ like they had announced. Not even to Florida. Sure does seem like someone is staying awfully close to Walter Reed, doesn’t it?
I don’t give a fuck if his hands look like grayscale rotisserie chickens left too long under the warming lamp at Costco… when the leader of the free world vanishes into the Mar-a-Lago ether for half a week, the American people deserve to know if he’s still upright. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

No thank you president dipshit, Chicago doesn't need your army
MAGA (and tariffs violating the Constitution) #MAGA
"They're takin' our jobs!" has NEVER been true. It's a lie to make US-born people resent immigrants and get them to support harsh, cruel, anti-immigrant measures. No US-born citizens are rushing to fill the jobs undocumented people were doing.
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.
www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6GvjPcr/ How in the HELL does any government lawfully deport 600 unaccompanied minors? Who does that? Who the fuck are we? What are we? What have we become?
Where is the mainsteam media? Anyone out there? Can you hear me???

California stepping up.

Trump wants war. Trump wants emergency powers. Trump wants Totalitarianism.

Has anyone said whether Rudy was driving or whether he had been drinking? www.cbsnews.com/news/rudy-gi...
NEW: Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, I will. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trump-must...
He obviously knows where he’s going.
Why has Trump been attacking unions and workers’ rights? He wants working people to feel helpless and divided. Trump and his billionaire backers realize that the collective power of a unified labor movement outweighs their own power. Know this: Workers outnumber the oligarchs.
What a POS
Over 300 MILLION American citizen's files stolen by DOGE. Why can't 1 person with access steal the EPSTEIN Files? #LEAKtheEPSTEIN_Files
REMINDER: It’s been 223 days since Trump was sworn in but he has still NOT released the complete Jeffrey Epstein files.

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…
The past 12 hours gave all of us a sense of just how huge the nationwide celebration will be when he finally does kick the bucket. 🎉🥳🎊
we'll know it's for real when Fox News starts playing Lee Greenwood's rendition of "Swan Lake" on loop
"Trump and Republicans are going to cheat to stay in power. How do we fight back?" This should be the question Democratic leaders are asking privately, and publicly, they need to sound the alarm and provide solutions. Or they can keep attacking Mamdani
“You cannot pretend as if he did not try and stay in power the last time he lost an election. That actually happened.” Abby Phillip & @mizzwelch.bsky.social refuse to let the Republicans on the panel pretend Trump is not a threat to our democracy. 🇺🇸
This part. Everyone should be taking notes from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social’s @mizzwelch.bsky.social
“.. even as tariffs change week to week, he added ,, ‘We cannot go back two weeks later and say, ‘Oh, sorry, now it has to be this price.’ They just don’t work that way.” 🤡 @wsj.com www.wsj.com/business/ret...
Of COURSE it all comes down to Modi’s refusal to nominate him for a Nobel prize. 🤡
“.. Kennedy was acting bizarre, saying he can tell as he walks past children if they are dealing with “mitochondrial challenges” .. Can he mysteriously divine illnesses just by looking? “Our health secretary is a certified quack.” @nytopinion.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...
“.. a government where officials maintaining nuclear weapons, monitoring medical trials, or guarding state secrets, have shorter résumés and smaller staffs — likely for years to come.” @axios.com www.axios.com/newsletters/...
The media needs to stop calling this an “immigration crackdown.” That’s not what Trump’s doing. He’s using the military and ICE to invade cities and occupy them. Trump is itching for a fight, and he wants it with blue-city mayors and blue-state governors. The good news: they’re not backing down.
📌Something called "good news" -Conservative Wisconsin SC Justice Rebecca Bradley won't seek reelection, citing "conservative failures" -Iowa Sen. (R) Joni Ernst surrenders -Democrat Catelin Drey smashes Republican supermajority in Iowa, winning big in Trump district Keep hittin' back. He did.
📌"We are all going to die." The only thing the grotesque Joni Ernst will be remembered for ...
I’m not sharing this to scare people—though it’s fucking terrifying. I’m sharing it because we all need to be on guard. We won’t be getting reliable data from the CDC anymore. Worse, the guidance could be harmful. RFK Jr. has no medical training, no scientific background…
Joni Ernst saw the writing on the wall. Iowans are fed up with rising costs and unchecked corruption. And next year, we're going to flip this seat.
They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.
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.
Everyday Americans are held to a higher standard, facing serious consequences for even small mistakes, while those in power from the so-called “party of law and order” keep breaking the rules without accountability.
A great point, and I fear we know why: they don't anticipate there will be elections going forward—or if there are, their outcome will be structurally predetermined. This administration doesn't appear to have any expectation that it will ever be hamstrung or out of power. Not in 2026, not in 2028.
WP made Cracker Barrel change their name back... but they won't save Democracy. 😏🙄
We are so fucked.
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?
GOV. WHITMER on marriage equality 🏳️🌈 attacks: “Treating people equally is a Michigan value… LGBTQ+ Michiganders make our state stronger, better, and more vibrant.”
From last year. Still holds true.

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.
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.
“What is to become of us who will never accept the new theology that Trump is both king and holy?” steveschmidt.substack.com/p/what-our-d...
You’re saying that telling your constituents they don’t need healthcare because they’re gonna die anyway isn’t winning politics?
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
Mike Johnson burying the Epstein files.👇
Mike Johnson will go down in history as the white supremacist Christian nationalist Speaker of the House who attempted to cover up a pedophilic criminal regime and replace US democracy with a fascist dictatorship.
There aren’t enough showers that we can take to wash away the stench of what America has done to itself politically.
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
Instead of calling Trump America’s Hitler, let’s just call him Hitler’s Hitler. There is nothing about that man that is American.
New Trump rule to ban VA abortions for veterans even in cases of rape and incest. Trump administration to end nearly all abortions even though third of female veterans are sexual assault survivors. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
If “people are the problem”, but the guns aren’t, then why do Republicans want to keep giving the problem, guns?
Years from now America is going to look back on the Trump years with deep regret & sorrow while asking ourselves “why did we allow this to happen to us?” “What in Gods name were we thinking?”
Noel Casler is right. Always was.
Me too Paula.
JD Vance is saying he’s ready to be President if Trump’s health fades. Does he know something we don’t? 🤷♂️
Vance on undermining the Federal Reserve: "I don't think we allow bureaucrats to make decisions about monetary policy and interest rates without any input from the people that were elected to serve the American people...POTUS is much better able to make these determinations."
