It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

NEWS: Eight major U.S. allies—including Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan—have issued a joint rebuke of the Trump regime’s sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court. They vow “unwavering support” for the ICC’s independence.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm-bomb

Now let’s resume talking about Epstein.

But I need to smile more.

Obama: “Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. You’re laughing, but this is what’s happening. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent right now would have tolerated behavior like that from me.” Clip courtesy @meidastouch.com

Former special counsel Robert Mueller was asked if Russia is still interfering in our elections. He responded “They’re doing it as we sit here” during his 2019 congressional testimony.

I will follow up with more details...

Fuck Ed Sheeran, and not just for ruining that episode of Game of Thrones

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Naming names. #Epstein

This could be the most Frank Luntz tweet of all time. Yes, we’ll just turn off… all of the computers. All our autonomous defense systems. All our financial systems. The global economy. That probably wouldn’t hurt anything, right?

One thing for which I'm certain: Everyone, including the president of the United States, is going to have a completely normal reaction to the Bills playing the Canadian national anthem.

For years, New Yorkers have demanded access to City records about the lasting health impacts of the horrific September 11th attacks. For years, they have been denied and ignored. That ends today. nyc.gov/sept11docs

Happy birthday to my old friend, Bernie Sanders. It's an honor to have been in the fight with him for all of these years. Bernie has more guts than any politician I know. Hell, he has more guts than just about anyone I know.

I feel like this tweet doesn't get talked about enough.

President Donald Trump recounted his response to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in an interview and event leading up to the 25th anniversary this week, repeating statements that lack evidence about aiding in the recovery. (From @politifact.bsky.social) https://to.pbs.org/4iQhyO3

As a New Yorker who was here that day and who is really, really trying to avoid anniversary coverage this year--and who remembers his famous call in from ACROSS TOWN where he said he now had the tallest building in NYC--I am so enraged by this I think I temporarily went blind.

Remarkable that the bone spurs serious enough to keep him out of Vietnam didn’t seem to hinder his supposed dash from Ground Zero on 9/11.

“Questionable and provocative” is a misleading-to-the-point-of-deception way of describing his fundamentally incompatible statements. At the least, some of them (if not many or all of them) are lies.

Trump's First 9/11 Call Was About His Own Building

Look. See? “Lie” Is that so goddamn hard?

Today’s clips of Trump and his 9/11 BS got me thinking about the 343 FDNY personnel killed that day.

At a 9/11 event, Trump fabricated a story about two firefighters carrying him away from an unstable building at ground zero. The truth: Trump was interviewed via phone and he bragged about how he now had the tallest building in NYC. More: substack.com/profile/2357...

Could you imagine anyone else in the history of history, let alone the President of the United States, so blatantly defiling the memory of our fallen brethren? What a terrible, broken person.

He lies. Pathological. Unrepentantly. Disgustingly. He steals valor. He dishonors heroes. He lacks a single noble impulse. No good people support him or his enablers.

Where Is Marco Rubio.......?

Just gonna share this again.

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.

#Denmark built so much wind that some blustery hours the turbines out-produce what the whole country is using. When that happens, the extra power doesn’t sit idle. It moves through Denmark’s links into the wider European network and heads to neighbors like Germany, Norway, Sweden. #ActOnClimate

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

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

So this is me and I will appreciate any help. It was a long day and I have a headache from not eating and wearing myself out. Thank you.

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.
