New in PN: RFK Jr gives Republicans a chance to defy Trump on easy mode "What’s really notable is the extent to which GOP leaders have remained supine even in the face of a radical assault on their grandchildren by a transparent death-dealing fraud who wasn’t even a member of the party a year ago."

So the U.S. military just blew up 11 people on the open sea in an extrajudicial massacre, saying they were dangerous drug traffickers but offering no court prior evidence to claim such. And other military units are patrolling U.S. cities with guns and no training in criminal procedure. Cool, cool.

Facts are unfolding but while Trump officials have claimed that the Venezuelan boat was carrying drugs, independent and verifiable proof of the cargo has not been publicly provided. Even if true, then arrest and fair trial are the right response, not the death penalty. 11 were killed.

Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next

America. What’s up? Happy Labor Day!

He just needed modernizing. They were just trying to update. Give Cracker Barrel a break.

Misguided priorities. Treat the problem, not the symptom.

I love close captioning.....

Troops in the streets and he thinks he’s going to get a Nobel, peace begins at home

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

Dan Rather is 93, and 20 years removed from signing off as a CBS anchor. But he’s still tapping out stories. “As Popeye used to say, I am what I am.”

The government is not a business. If that was the case, we pay money into the government and pay the salaries of the Congress and the Senate. That would mean in a business structure, they work for us and we have the power to fucking fire them or no longer pay if they are doing a shitty job.

Democracy should not be for sale.

Rep Emmer you can go 🖕yourself. Blaming Gov Walz for the shooting is horseshit. Every single school/mass shooting is the fault of the GOP. #ProudBlue #Pinks #OneV1

THIS IS ALL MERRICK GARLAND’S FAULT.

Wanted to share some of the most compelling interviews of the week from my show that are both informative and entertaining from Calif AG Rob Bonta to Andy Borowitz to "What just Happened?!" segment. If you have time this weekend here is some good stuff: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/calif-ag-r...

The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏

Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.

He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.

Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."

ICYMI — JUDGE: “This case represents the consequences of a decades long drumbeat of anti-immigrant sentiment and misinformation being broadcast & broadcast & broadcast…” 2 immigrants shot in Washington, gunman sentenced in June. Barely even a story. 🤷🏻‍♂️ www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/g...

Jones: I would say to my colleagues who serve in government—keep your thoughts and prayers, keep your tweets. If you want to address gun violence, you don't need to tweet. What you need is a mirror. You have the power to change things.

“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.

In a national poll, 9 out of 10 American flags prefer Governor Gavin Christopher Newsom.
