Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

There's no doubt that @aoc.bsky.social has changed the trajectory of American politics. Grateful to have her with us on the ground across Michigan to strengthen our movement to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All.

Blackstone CEO and co-founder Stephen A. Schwarzman is bankrolling this MAGA Inc. ad attacking Congresswoman Kathy Castor (D-FL) for… buying Blackstone stock.

Talarico: Elon wants our land. He's already trying to buy one of our beautiful state parks down in South Texas. He wants our water for these AI data centers. And he wants his very own personal United States senator — and that's what he thinks he can get with Ken Paxton.

There is a suspected outbreak of the plague in Russia. Yes, you read that right. And we cannot trust RFK Jr. and the Trump administration to be prepared to deal with this. We need a Democratic public health doctor in the US Senate.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and his government has committed genocide in Gaza. The United States should stop all military assistance to Israel. Saying this is not antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

This warning from David Letterman to the media from just a year ago feels sadly too relevant today. He is right: You can't appease a tyrant.

G’mar Chatimah Tovah to those fasting and observing Yom Kippur. May it be light and easy.

Like voter fraud, there is no sharia law in the USA nor is there any threat of it. The only people committing voter fraud and instituting religious laws are Republican.

Ossoff: Blanche is a joke and a hack. These folks are not just corrupt, they're clowns. Here you have a Kremlin connected Russian oligarch giving massive cash gifts to the president's son…

How not surprising that a president who acts like a petty mob boss is holding one of our nation’s treasured institutions hostage until we meet his conditions—that is, putting his stupid name on the building. I say we just put it in mothballs until he is gone.

In August there were "federal observers" at the polls... They're planning to send ICE out on our streets during the November election... So we have a responsibility to make sure that this election result is TOO BIG TO RIG.

An unhinged embarrassment

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

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

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.

This is why you can't have healthcare. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/ice-buy-robot-dogs-immigration-enforcement-rcna594897

When you claim renewable energies aren’t workable—but you attach solar panels to all your dystopian Flock surveillance cameras.

Trump wants to "let Data Reign" and said any community who opposes data centers will be "backwards and poor." The 70 percent of Americans who oppose data centers disagree — and for good reason. Watch.

ICE has been given the money to do whatever they want.

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Tell Congress: Protect our use of voting by mail and voting machines . Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Let’s talk about Medicare for All. What would it mean for the individual American? ⬇ The day you’re born you get a card that gives you health insurance with no premium, co-pay, or deductible. Doesn’t matter if you get a job, lose a job, turn 26 or 65, get married or divorced — it's there for you.

Private equity is price gouging firefighters now. Yes, you read that right. Firefighters. Is this the most evil thing they've done yet?

Oh boy... theintercept.com/2026/08/07/c...

Yet, he voted for the guy. Total coward. "Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) seemed not fully sure about how the new U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche might approach November’s midterms." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Can I get an amen?

Wolf: What hasn’t been discussed publicly, to my knowledge, is the fact that, in my opinion, President Trump committed a crime in negotiating the settlement agreement in this case and it’s possible that Mr. Blanche would be found to be a co-conspirator in that crime. Let me try to explain…

One thing that's really evident about the pied-a-tierre tax: it was a brilliant move to call it that — everyone who argues against it sounds like they're defending tax-free caviar. Contrast to San Diego's "empty homes tax" ballot measure which lost 55-45 in a 70-30 Dem city.

This is an INSANE thing to say and believe.

www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-ea... Not good.

Today’s Civics Lesson Dr. Fauci honoring a congressional subpoena and then taking the Fifth Amendment: an example of someone respecting both Congress and the Constitution. Jim Jordan ignoring a congressional subpoena: an example of someone showing contempt for Congress. Lesson over.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) took its latest blow in a failing voter roll crusade as a federal judge Thursday dismissed its case targeting Washington, D.C. This marks a 0-21 record for the DOJ. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/doj...

I used to be a Social Security trustee. The real reason the program is in trouble has nothing to do with the postwar baby boom or increasing life expectancy. It's because of widening inequality. Watch.

Political cartoons can be so damn accurate!

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

“Tow the line” Their unpleasant entitlement is only exceeded by their stupidity.

And the spineless GOP congress just letting it happen.
