Labor Day belongs to working people!
It belongs to care workers who keep our families healthy, airport workers who keep us moving, janitors who keep our workplaces running, public service workers who keep our communities strong, & working people whose labor makes America work every day. #LaborDay
I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on - if your position is that the president of the United States and his family should be immune from IRS scrutiny, you’re unqualified to be the Attorney General.
It’s an indictment on our entire system that 50 GOP Senators don’t agree.
SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆
With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever!
THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏
Def. Sec. Pete Hegseth promised it "would be the most transparent administration ever.” As the US-led war against Iran enters its sixth month, the offering to the public is less information about the conflict and its direction, even as the costs continue to mount. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...
GOV. BESHEAR, to McConnell:
“.. I am calling on you to directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign.”
@nbcnews.com#KYsenwww.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
Beshear just doesn’t get it yet
Maybe he will; there’s still time to appoint a Democrat and force the Republicans to address their obvious dishonesty about McConnell. Maybe he’s inching ever-so-slowly to fully joining the fight against MAGA
But my goodness, this is absolutely agonizing to watch
The fact that not only are we selling tracts of our beautiful national parks to INTERNATIONAL mining companies, but also bringing back (previously banned) murdering wildlife by cyanide injections hidden in bait to rid said parks of natural wildlife is literally making me nauseous from anger.
Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre's brother Sky Roberts says Todd Blanche showed a "complete lack of humanity" toward survivors, recalling Blanche telling him: "Virginia is not here. Your sister's not here to provide that testimony," despite evidence Giuffre provided implicating Prince Andrew.
If we vetted these ICE motherfuckers we’d probably find that most of them have a history of violence against women. Worth mentioning that almost every mass shooter turns out to have a history of violence against women.
Sen. Booker to Todd Blanche: "Your nomination should fail. The Attorney General's client is not the president, it's the American people. You've been protecting one person for most of your career…You should not be confirmed to this job."
It's a sign of how shockingly corrupt this country has become that a nominee for Attorney General is given a hearing by the Senate *the very same week* he has been referred by a judge for possible disbarment for unethical behavior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We all know this still stinks to high heaven.
Gov. Andy Beshear says he still hasn’t received an official update from Sen. Mitch McConnell.
“I’ve had no official response. Nothing sent to our office, no letter, no email.”
Sen. DURBIN: This nation deserves an Attorney General who loves the Constitution more than he loves the President. Mr. Blanche, you have proven beyond a reasonable doubt you are not that person.
“.. The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects,” said David McCraw, The Times’s top newsroom lawyer ..

the $5.8MM is from a different case for E JEAN CARROLL - and glad the judge ordered the release of the funds that TRUMP had to deposit
she's STILL owed over $92MM
we MUST demand accountability for this and EVERY single crime TRUMP has & continues to commit

Let's be honest about the moment we're in: it's dark. But Americans don't fold in the dark — we do our best work there. Rick Wilson explains: https://youtu.be/vBE1-PTkR0o
John Lennon, Harry Nilsson, Alice Cooper, and Micky Dolenz drinking together at The Troubadour club in Los Angeles in 1973.

🔥 The Los Angeles Dodgers ownership group has DIVESTED from GEO Group, the private prison company running ICE detention facilities.
No one should be profiting from ICE detention camps.

This man makes me wish I lived in Georgia so I could vote to reelect him to the Senate.
I guess I'll just have to wait to vote for Jon Ossoff @ossoff.bsky.social when, hopefully, the Dems draft him to run for President! 🇺🇸

Juneteenth reminds us that nothing about freedom can be taken for granted. As we commemorate the end of slavery in the United States, we are also called to reckon with the lasting impacts on Black Americans, and inequality in this country more broadly.
Marilou & I are still on a high from The Presidential Center Opening! A non-stop party with inspirational speeches from Barack & Michelle, followed by a FANtastic 🎶 concert (check out the artists below)! By the time Stevie Wonder performed "Higher Ground" the crowd nearly passed out from sheer joy!🥰
My God. The opening ceremony of the Obama Center is a beautiful display of American hope, diversity, and integrity. What a contrast to the pathetically stupid display at the White House last weekend.
To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.
What are the odds of TWO master orators married to one another?
Listening to them speak was uplifting, inspirational and exhilarating. A reminder of another, better time when leaders spoke to our better angels & offered hope & optimism rather than divisive vulgarisms.

Michelle Obama: You were doing the people's work, rescuing our economy, expanding health care, ending a war, ordering the bin laden raid, saving an auto industry, winning a peace prize.
"You were doing the people's work: rescuing our economy, expanding healthcare, ending a war... winning a peace prize..."

More than a decade in the making, the Obama Presidential Center opened today on Chicago's South Side with 4 former presidents, A-list entertainers and thousands of visitors in attendance.
It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby—a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist—to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.
This ⬇️ is a real American hero!
Congresswoman Joyce Beatty is a Kennedy Center trustee who sued after the unlawful renaming of the center. Late Friday her suit prevailed and the center’s rightful name was restored. Thank you @repbeatty.bsky.social, we love you! ❤️
