The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM.
They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war.
Happy Labor Day.
PabloReports: What do you make of Trump saying Americans who oppose data centers are backwards and poor?
AOC: I mean, how about we put one in Mar-a-Lago? I love that. Let’s put a data center at Mar-a-Lago, and we’ll see how backwards and poor he is in response to that.
This is absolutely bananas.
Trump says we’re suspending exercises with South Korea because of his “really good relationship” with Kim Jong-un.

NEW: Internal National Park Service records obtained by MeidasTouch’s Scott MacFarlane reveal more than $400 MILLION has been steered toward Trump’s White House and D.C. projects, while funding for major national parks is being slashed.
🔥 @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “The only minority destroying America is billionaires: Trans people aren’t taking away our healthcare. Muslims aren’t defunding our schools. Immigrants aren’t cutting taxes for themselves + their rich friends… It’s billionaires & their puppet politicians.”
Ukrainian intelligence confirms what many laypeople on BlueSky had already suspected: Russia is using satellites to help Iran target American bases in the Middle East.
And Donald Trump will do *nothing* about this because he cares about Putin far more than he cares about American troops.
BREAKING: In my lawsuit against Todd Blanche for the Epstein Files, Judge Sullivan has just ordered Blanche to produce, in camera (in chambers), the UNREDACTED emails & documents, and Blanche must bring documentation supporting his representations the DOJ’s redactions are what he claims they are.
NEWS: WV GOP Assistant Majority Leader Elliott Pritt has been arrested and charged with enticing a minor after allegedly grooming a 15-year-old through Roblox and Snapchat, then having her meet him in his classroom.
GOP leadership won't call for his resignation.
This is quite clearly a total lie. The story quotes a "draft press release."
This is why we meed to support independent pro-democracy media rather than the stenographers for the administration. Begin by subscribing to Democracy Docket. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
Hundreds of thousands of Albanians have been protesting for over a week to revolt against their corrupt govt as well as criminal slumlord traitor Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka for plotting to seize their land.
Americans could learn a thing or two on how it’s done.
Despite having an office of hundreds of attorneys, Ken Paxton has frequently opted for private lawyers — many to whom he has personal or political ties — to argue on behalf of Texas.

Don’t let last night’s attack be weaponized into silence. Speaking truth to power and demanding accountability from our leaders isn’t dangerous rhetoric, it’s the foundation of democracy. We can condemn violence and also demand accountability from our leaders.
Senate Republicans are spending their weekend lying about the SAVE Act and attacking the right to vote.
If you want to know where this bill came from, what is does and why the GOP is so desperate to pass it, read what I wrote. Then share it with others. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...
He’s flailing. He’s leading the country—and the world—toward catastrophe. When incompetence mixes with arrogance, the result is dangerous for everyone.

Me on Trump, Iran and media failures for this morning’s Zeteo First Draft newsletter:
So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold.
We really are not a very good-natured country.
The Epstein scandal isn't just about the disgusting sex trafficking of underage girls.
It's also about the rich, powerful men who LIED to us to cover up their involvement.
Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive.
