Three weeks after 9/11, the city chose a cover-up over public safety. Jon Stewart described poison in the air and ground, coating clothes, pets, and air conditioners for months. People who survived the attacks were sent into toxic dust because “business as usual” mattered more.

We will pay a fortune for Trump to fly to Ireland this week with his massive Secret Service detail and grifter entourage to watch the Irish Open at his golf course but will meet with the president of Ireland for a few minutes to make it look like he’s going for official business.

The death of Capitalism is complete destruction for the sake of Profit….

He's right, it was a long time ago. I can't remember if I was working on campus here in Princeton signing students into classes or if I was heroically leading the recovery effort at Ground Zero, bravely digging through rubble with my bare hands. Time, am I right?

Because it's addressing the person who cares about the problem. The better question is why it isn't "form a union and make them pay a living wage".

Well put!

The tax rate for the richest was much higher when the middle class was strongest It was much higher even under Reagan But now they want you to behave raising taxes on the rich is “COmMuNiSm” ? Bottom line: They think we’re all idiots

Nancy 9/7/26 … Happy Labor Day 🛠️

I’m just glad Kushner and Witkoff weren’t around to negotiate a “win-win” for Germany and Japan in 1942.

It's impossible to ignore, Trumpism attracts a type.

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

For decades, reporters have treated hours-long voting lines as a “normal” feature of Election Day instead of investigating why some Americans consistently face greater barriers to the ballot… hartmannreport.com/p/has-the-me...

You’re not alarmed enough 🚨

BREAKING: A U.S. Postal Service official has filed a whistleblower report alleging the agency is pushing ahead with a “secretive, rushed” effort to implement Trump’s order giving the federal government more control over mail voting, despite a court order blocking the plan.

While I'm glad to know they aren't *currently* planning to do this, I'd love to see a clear statement that they will *never* do this because it's wildly inappropriate and an assault on democracy.

Was on CNN discussing the paid influencers by your tax money thanks to DOD, pushing partisan talking points.

"Secretaries of defense must grasp the economics of the defense industry, the nature of alliances, congressional politics, the policy process, and dozens of other issues for which Hegseth seems to care little and about which he knows even less."

He said he Doesn’t Care about the average American….

"Why are young men so lonely? They're not showering and they're drinking their own urine, so I'm not sure what else they could do to attract women."

An 86-year-old Pennsylvania farmer rejected roughly $15.7 million — $60,000 per acre — from data-centre developers for his 261 acres. Instead, he accepted $1.9 million for the development rights, permanently preserving the land for farming. - ScienceBlog.com share.google/X0tz8VytAY6n...

The Pentagon influencer scandal keeps getting bigger. More partisan online personalities. More government jobs. More taxpayer money. Who hired them, what are they being paid to do, and are military officers violating the UCMJ? This deserves answers.

"The exclusion of multiple major news outlets from an international event like this has little precedent among countries that have previously hosted G20 meetings — including Russia and China — and is unprecedented for the US government." Mm, smells like confidence.

Not No

Two headlines. Not sure what else people need to see to accept the reality of climate change. Scientists have been warning of climate change-induced glacier collapse for years. This week it killed thousands in Nepal.

This is an excellent point.

My grandma died of pancreatic cancer and, as I recall, it's one of the swifter, more devastating forms of cancer. She was gone within a couple months of the diagnosis. This is absolutely incredible.

NEWS: Trump is now underwater in Arkansas, and the impact on the Senate race could be enormous. A Democrat is suddenly putting Tom Cotton in real danger.

“My parents died so fuck yours too,” is quite the argument against reasonable healthcare

Annie Andrews: "What she [Darline Graham] said there was that her healthcare plan is, 'you should work hard until you die' ... I believe Darline's parents deserved better."

*Wealthy media owners are using the national debt to justify cutting Social Security and Medicare instead of taxing the rich or addressing excessive health care costs* By @deanbaker13.bsky.social #EconomicInequality #UnitedStates cepr.net/publications...

This is the Future, Not fossil fuels….

The claims against Donald Trump's anti-voting executive order and the US Postal Service are now clearly ripe and I am representing the Democratic Party to block it from taking effect. I am realistic about the Supreme Court but I believe we will win!

“The fact that I’m even having to sue and fight in a court of law for this is mind-boggling,” @katiephang.bsky.social told me. “I should be joined by every member of Congress...in saying, ‘Shame on Todd Blanche for continuing to protect the Epstein elite.’” open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Credit card debt just hit $1.26 trillion. Almost the record. Meanwhile 44% of Americans say they’ll apply for a buy now, pay later loan in the next six months just to get by. People aren’t buying toys and vacations on credit, they’re buying groceries on installment plans now.

A 5-year-old Texan just spent the first day of school in an ICE detention center. ICE kidnapped Liam Tadeo on his way to a soccer game with his dad. Liam should be in kindergarten. Instead, our government has thrown him in a prison camp hundreds of miles from home.
