THIS!

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

A week from tomorrow is the beginning of the END of the Orange Atrocity! 🍊 💩 #voteVoteVOTE

CARTOON OF THE DAY

I'm glad to see California take steps to protect children from the harms of social media and chatbots. More states should follow their lead.

25 years after the horrific terror attacks of September 11th, 2001, we remember the New Yorkers we lost and honor the extraordinary heroism and selflessness that carried our city forward.

Talarico on Republican name-calling: “These nicknames don’t lower the cost of groceries, gas, healthcare, or childcare. I think Texans are really fed up with this professional wrestling of politics.”

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

A couple days ago, Mike Johnson mocked Thomas Massie for suggesting House leadership could keep Congress out to avoid the new Epstein Files Transparency Act, calling the idea “stupid” and “nonsensical.” Now he has canceled the final two weeks of September.

As we elders, our daughters, and our granddaughters continue the fight for power, equality, and respect, we hold you in our hearts with love and gratitude. Rest in peace and power, Gloria Steinem. 🤍

Bezos' Washington Post falsely called Karen Attiah’s work “gross misconduct” & wrongly fired her for it An arbitrator ordered her REINSTATED with full back pay Karen was defiant, & so were we @democracydefendersaction.org How we won it, in my weekly column @ContrarianNews.org 👇-TN

Texas just suspended 1.2 million voter registrations because Talarico is beating Paxton in the polls. And OF COURSE they won’t tell us how many of those voters come from Democratic districts. Texas isn’t a democracy. It’s a racist fascist state.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

2/ Background on Khalil and his family in the NYT today: Relative of Afghans Who Helped U.S. Military Is Deported to Africa By Miriam Jordan and @haleaziz.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/08/29/u...

Extraordinary, powerful and heart-wrenching. Active duty Marine Colonel Zach Schmidt, speaking in his personal capacity, about Khalil, an Afghan national whose family helped U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Khalil was deported by the U.S. on Friday to a conflict zone.

Surveillance is not safety, and safety is not surveillance. When one officer can allegedly search his ex-girlfriend’s license plate more than 10,000 times, the danger of unchecked surveillance is clear. Texans shouldn’t have to surrender our privacy and freedom just to feel safe.

It is SO blatantly obvious everything that’s happening is because both parties are owned almost entirely by AIPAC. They don’t actually believe in anything. They’re just in it for the money. They will fritter and fetterman away your whole country.

IT WAS NEVER THE IMMGRANTS IN SMALL BOATS The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is It will never reach you

Walmart spent $43.4B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2025, enough to give each of its 2.1M workers annual bonuses of $2,953. Last year, retiring CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $29.2M — his largest payday ever and 958x Walmart's median worker pay of $30,520. Textbook corporate greed.

The problem for shrimpers, as for some other American industries, is that tariffs may not be enough to save them, and may in the meantime raise costs for everyone else

US national debt just hit $40 trillion. Why? HINT: It's NOT because the government is trying to provide its citizens healthcare or childcare.

We & the media are NOT talking enough about how a Florida grand jury found that $10 million was funneled from a settlement intended to benefit Florida taxpayers to Ron DeSantis’s wife’s illegitimate “charity” (that never registered with the IRS), where it was laundered before it got to the FLA GOP.

The massive nationwide electricity rate hikes aren’t happening simply because utility services have gotten more expensive or customers have been receiving better service. It’s because utility monopolies have bought off the system that’s supposed to keep them in check.

Brought down the house at the University of Michigan with @debbiedingell.house.gov and @jamieraskin.com.web.brid.gy! Ann Arbor is ready to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All.

There’s explosive diarrhea lettuce Screwworm in the beef Blueberries that will kill you Measles cases at a record high Now there’s fibreglass in IV saline. De-regulation kills. And it kills the disabled and elderly the fastest. This was always the plan. Wake up.

Impossible to argue with this.👇

The US gave Argentina $40 billion, and as a thank you, they’re selling us diseased beef. Art of the deal.

EXACTLY 👇 THIS......

This is just amazing. You would think that Texans would want to get back to that level.

The word "socialism" is constantly thrown out at any attempt at social progress that challenges the rich and powerful. We hear it used today — but this fear-mongering tactic goes back much further than most of us realize. @hcrichardson.bsky.social shares an interesting history lesson.

Asheville nurses join today's Palantir Out Day of Action to demand HCA Healthcare cut ties with the A.I. giant! Palantir's technology is used in our hospitals to short staff us AND used by ICE to terrorize us in the streets. We don't want either! #PurgePalantir

EXCLUSIVE: Sens. Alex Padilla and Mark Warner are demanding answers from prediction market giants Kalshi and Polymarket over their payments to influencers accused of spreading election disinformation. Here’s what the Senators uncovered:

We will march as Dad marched and continue building the Beloved Community he envisioned: a nation where every person can live with dignity, opportunity, freedom, and justice. #MarchOnWashington2026

The US Dept of Education, everyone.

Dolly Parton wasn't just a country music star—she loved nature and had hopes for the environment's future. In a 2022 interview with National Geo, the late musician shared her appreciation of her Tennessee mountain home while urging fans to take better care of the world. Video by Jerry Owens

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.

MUST-WATCH: “Nobody hated Dolly. Here’s why.” ❤️ Beautiful stuff From @loswhit

Are we ever going to find out what happened to mitch McConnell

Walmart spent $8.1 billion on stock buybacks last year. Over 156,000 Walmart workers are on Medicaid because they don't get healthcare from the company. ips-dc.org/report-execu...

Plus a $2.9B tariff refund this year, which comes after it jacked up prices on consumers. Walmart now claims that its refund will go towards lowering prices. But how much will actually go towards providing some relief to consumers instead of more stock buybacks and lucrative exec pay packages?

Since 2019, corporate profits have grown 52 percent. Wages have grown 12 percent. Read that back. This is what a rigged economy looks like. [Chart by @groundwork.bsky.social]

"Good times. Great memories." -- Fox & Friends' tribute to Karoline Leavitt is just a supercut of her being a condescending jerk to reporters. Imagine being proud of acting like this.

Wow a montage showing what disgusting excuse for a human being she is.
