An official White House account used a slur for people with Down syndrome to attack a reporter who questioned the President. Americans shouldn’t be surprised—because this is who they’re working for.

FALSE: Vladimir Putin is a war criminal.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

Russia is cooperating with Iran. So why is Trump cooperating with Russia? Like the diesel deal, this decision is a gift to the very forces attacking our service members.

Trump’s recent actions on Ukraine prove what we have always known: his top priority is pleasing Putin first, everything else second.

The day after Russia killed 30 Ukrainian civilians, Trump lifted sanctions on Russian diesel and vowed that the US will buy it—even though Russia is bankrolling Iran in the war the President’s waging.   None of this will bring down prices at home. All of it will embolden our adversaries.

Inflation is up again. Not because of a pandemic. Not because of a natural disaster. Because of Trump’s war, tariffs, and corporate tax breaks. It really is this simple: Republicans took over, and then drove up the cost of living in America.

The GOP promised their tax cuts for the rich would lead to growth. But growth slowed down. They said their tariffs would bring back manufacturing. But factory jobs are down under Trump. Republican policies don’t work. Change begins on November 3.

Watchdog group Public Citizen files a formal FCC complaint about Trump's taxpayer-funded TV ads “Broadcasters may be held liable for airing any ad that is in violation of federal law. Federal law explicitly prohibits using appropriated public funds for government propaganda"

U.S. manufacturing jobs are down under Trump, including in the auto industry. His strategy failed, and so will this. Lowering standards will accelerate what he has already been doing: handing the clean tech future to China and forcing Americans to pay more at the pump.

NAACP president Derrick Johnson: “Donald Trump’s move to ban professional journalists who deliver the facts every day from the White House can only be described as authoritarian”

How can they justify leaving right now? Diesel costs just hit an all-time high. Our nation is at war. The bond market is quivering. The urgency of AI regulation has come to a critical moment. Congress should be working overtime. Instead Speaker Johnson sent them home.

All to dodge one uncomfortable vote - much like his maneuvers last year to hold off the Epstein files. You don't have to be a Democrat to find that disgraceful. In less than seven weeks, Americans can change all this. 48 days to go

Justice Connection, a group of former Justice Dept employees, issues a warning about public safety: “Agents and analysts that Patel fired during his tenure resulted in the loss of more than 1,000 years of combined FBI experience”

Texas farmer: The future of farming is very, very grim. The cost of everything is really hurting us right now. If you're working a full-time job, that should be enough. We need to put America First.

The Republican Party would rather bribe you for a vote than end a war that's jacking up everything from diesel to fertilizer to grocery to gas prices for you. They don't give a damn about you, they just want to stay in power.

The 40-hour work week. The weekend itself. Lifesaving safety standards. Organized labor has changed our country for the better. This Labor Day, we recognize the achievements of our unions and the workers who make the American way of life possible.

"Data centers don't use water. They're data centers. This is propaganda by our adversaries" - Trump's Secretary of Commerce Not only are they robbing you blind, they think you're an idiot.

Danny Fields (He/Him/Smart Ass) reposted

Republicans have the majority in the Senate and House and they're telling you they cannot rein Trump in, so stop giving them power. They're telling you they refuse to use it.

Introverts aren’t chasing attention or trying to impress anyone. They just want a calm, peaceful life and the space to do their own thing. Not everything meaningful has to be loud

Epstein survivor on Trump's criminal lawyer Todd Blanche: "Yeah, I mean, he actually said the words 'get to the point' to us. We're survivors who've been waiting to meet with him for 9 months, 8 months. We've been asking for meetings, and he very much said, 'can you get to the point already?'"

This week, I met with some college students to talk about USAID's legacy and how foreign assistance makes America safer and stronger. One year after Trump DOGE-d USAID, the consequences continue to be catastrophic—with 600,000 dead worldwide and two-thirds being children.
