Celebrate Labor Day and know the fight continues. From retired steelworkers, to trade grads in Gladstone, to protesting at the Iron Mountain VA clinic with workers who care for veterans — I’ve stood with labor every step of the way. CEOs didn’t build America. Working people did. #MI01 #LaborDay 💪
Hey GOP: You are killing the economy with your policies you dumba**es. Who do you think is going to pay your rent and buy your goods after you wreck the economy? The Middle Class literally supports you and your yachting lifestyle and you are crushing us. Wake TF up.
This says it all.

"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
Right now in Michigan, we’re in the middle of a budget showdown. The Republican Speaker of the House slipped a provision into the budget that would kneecap our Attorney General – and make it near-impossible for us to take the Trump Administration to court.

During a town hall Wednesday in Worth County, Iowans urged Hinson to “stop lying” after she claimed that the president’s key legislation had ushered in “higher wages” and an improved cost of living. “Higher wages?” shouted one woman incredulously. “For who? For you?” trib.al/KPLYXyQ

I’m no longer a Californian but they’re the only state with the resources, and Governor, capable of carrying this off. Don’t let America turn into a science wasteland because of MAGA Morons! 🙏

“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
I think we can give up on that whole leader of the free world stuff. We have abdicated that role through elections and appointments.
Scott Bessent is saying the ruling that Trump’s illegal tariffs are, in fact, illegal will embarrass the US .... It won’t embarrass America. It will embarrass Trump and Bessent. If anything, it might reassure the rest of the world that some vestige of rule of law yet remains in this nation. -Krugman
Ashli Babbitt made a choice. She went to DC to cause trouble.She heeded her insane leader's cry for insurrection.She violently forced her way into our seat of governance with throngs of others to halt our democratic process,she destroyed public property & was ready to go further. She is no hero.
Huge news - appeals court rules that a majority of the President’s tariffs are illegal. The President is wreaking havoc on our economy, and he is breaking the law to do it. We must right this ship. We need sane trade policy again.
Facts. There is nothing normal about him, he has been painfully inadequate in everything he's done his entire life.
I so wish it were true....
With O'Neill (apparently) taking over CDC (if they ever get around to firing Monarez), I think it's worth looking back to Project 2025 and asking what they actually intend to *do* to CDC. So, I went to remind myself today. Here's what's in store:
They do have a choice. They could resign like I did.
Isn’t it ironic how corporate profits keep going up, but they “can’t afford” raises? Unions cut through the excuses and make sure we get what we are owed.
😂🤣😂 Means that off the ranch as well!
This week, I met with apprentices at UA Local 174 Plumbers & Pipefitters in Coopersville. I wanted to hear from them - what they think about our politics, about government, about the state of our country.
Inhuman. “I don’t have any choice” is a lie.
Thank you for speaking the truth, Senator.

In Michigan, we passed a red flag law, safe storage, universal background checks, and closed the domestic violence loophole. We CAN make change. But we won’t stop this epidemic of gun violence until we elect people at every level who view our kids and communities' safety as a priority.
Well said 👏🏼
This. Is. Wrong. There should be no settlement and no military honors.
Fascism front and center!

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK! Wasted money, wasted time, wasted expertise!
I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!
I don’t see him anywhere in the picture though.
As @hillarymonahan.bsky.social pointed out, there are benefits to utilizing AI. It should also be pointed out that there are literally thousands of open source Large Language Models (AI) available for use and additional training. ChatGPT and Grokk are not the only options.

Good morning. To the FEMA staff who spoke truth about cuts that threaten disaster response and endanger Americans: we see you, admire your courage, and stand with you. 💚✊ Silencing you betrays the public and the values you embody.
🤣
The height of stupidity.
She makes a great point. I also still want to know, where is the Trump administration sending the DC homeless population? Does ANYONE have specific information on where they are being sent? #AbolishICE #DemandAccountability #WhereAreTheHomelessNow
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

As Michigan Senate Majority Whip and member of the state Senate Appropriations committee, I see the devastating impacts of federal One Big Horrible Bill first-hand. And it's a lot worse than we could have imagined.
What chaos! What mayhem! I hope you and yours survive intact!
What’s the term for this again? Ah, yes. “Snowflakes.”
Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo. Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.
Great thread about the takeaways!

Call your Governor! Make sure they have a plan to resist any military forces coming into your state! Your reps can't do anything except log that you called. Rally people who don't like the idea of the federal government controlling their state. It doesn't matter the party at this point.

He’s not an idiot, he’s just a liar. He’s trying to look and act like the “reasonable” one as Trump goes off the rails. To the base, it will sound like a reasonable attempt at peace. It simply ignores reality. He’s incredibly dangerous.
It was reported as a lie at the time. CLEARLY NOT A LIE!

For decades, Republicans screamed that the “big, bad” government was coming for you. Now, it actually is, but they’re the ones in charge.
