Fascinating and kind of funny seeing the huge spike in blocking by communist comrades angry over a post about Musk withholding Starlink service in Ukraine with our headline “Illegal alien admits to sabotaging U.S. ally fighting former Soviet communists..” 1/3

Almost like the boat strikes are just performative murder and not a serious counter-drug tactic. www.wsj.com/world/americ...

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

We have to stop Trump’s sweetheart deal with the Saudi monarchy. This is a Saudi nuclear bomb program, not an energy deal. Thank you @markey.senate.gov and @jeff-merkley.bsky.social.

Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.gov

The U.S.-Saudi nuclear deal is about megatons, not megawatts. Trump should not be sharing nuclear bomb technology with a nation that U.S. intelligence says may want nuclear weapons. This is the starting gun for a Middle East nuclear arms race. We must reject this dangerous deal.

The US fired 60-70 high-end interceptors in response to 20 cheaper Iranian ballistic missles. This shows the inherent limitations of all missile defense - even short-ranges defenses that work. The offense can always overwhelm the defense. Iran can keep this up forever. apple.news/AOXKOrLxhSim...

This is your periodic reminder that by far the #1 source of “fake news” in the US is #trump and his press secretaries, with #Hegseth and #RFKJr in a relentless competition for 2nd place.

We can stop it. We know that US complicity is what enables the Israeli government to carry out this genocide with impunity. We refuse to stand by while Trump plans to send another $2.8 billion of our tax dollars to bomb Gaza.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

Did you ever meet Bob Kraft?

“WE HAVE TO SHOVE ACCOUNTABILITY DOWN THEIR F***ING THROATS.” 🔥🔥 Katie Phang delivers a fiery sign-off on today’s episode of Sidebar with Katie Phang: “I don’t want any of you to ever think that we can’t get through this. But I want us to thrive, not just survive.”

Agree with this 100%. (& please give your pet a hug for me!) #HappyLaborDay

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.

A revealing measure of the poverty of #Trump’s strategic “thinking” is that he believes renaming bodies of water (and other things) arbitrarily is some sort of clever move, instead of realizing it just makes him look stupid, vain, and out-of-touch.

This iconic 1971 photo of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes has always said so much without saying a word. Two women. Two raised fists. One shared fight for equality. Dorothy passed in 2022. Now Gloria is gone too. Two giants who helped change America. Rest in power, Gloria. ✊🏼✊🏾
