Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked. They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs: 1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt? 2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies? 3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

It's happening right in front of you. Trump and the GOP are creating their own manufactured crises, lighting the Reichstag fires, blaming "them" for the violence (their critics), citing "left-wing" terrorism, all as a setup for martial law and the Insurrection Act. It's happening in plain sight.

Today on Morning Joe, @vinguptamd.bsky.social called out RFK Jr. for trying to refute over 100 years of history on vaccines. RFK Jr. said he was going to be the gold standard for science, and he's giving us the bottom of the barrel.

"You shared her refusal to give up, and that meant the world to her. It means the world to our team, too. We have been inundated with heartfelt messages, and we are so grateful for your kindness and your support – and your determination to carry Jane's mission forward." Read more:

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

Embarrassingly moronic bullshit that tens of millions believe. The worst part of it is they know they are lying but trust that their voters won’t know the difference or care. They have to distract from Trump wrecking the economy and driving prices up somehow.

Comey is low-hanging fruit to them. The use of his unpopularity with & among liberals & Dems as well as MAGA is an excellent way to normalize this abuse of what's left of the justice system. They have many other targets, many are Black women. He is the first of many.

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

An assault on the rights of our veterans is a threat to all of us. We're on the front lines today, delivering a petition to safeguard their workplace rights and care. We must protect those who protected us. #UnionStrongForVets

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did. 🚨🚨🚨

The threats to democracy have never been graver but no one is doing more to hold power to account and keep you informed than the team at Democracy Docket. No corporate overloads, no compromises. Just pro-democracy news, information and analysis. Help support their efforts. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

NY Post editorial board

“They’re taking our jobs” was always a lie. Alabama proved it. Alabama tried a “tough” immigration law, and it backfired hard. Immigrants fled, crops rotted, and farms collapsed. Americans tried to step in but couldn’t last a day. They’re not taking your jobs; they’re doing the jobs you won’t do.

There is so much more to say! @leahlitman.bsky.social, @kateshaw.bsky.social, and I go deep on this issue in this week's @strictscrutiny.bsky.social episode... out tomorrow! Check it out!

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!

IMPEACH AND REMOVE BEFORE AMERICA IS LOST.

This is so perfectly corrupt I’m almost impressed. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/n...

Trump and Republicans are ruining the U.S. economy.

We are now experiencing the worst jobs numbers since the last time Trump was president.

Rep. Nadler, you're a mensch. Thank you for your leadership, your selflessness, and your decades of service to New Yorkers. www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/02/j...

Last week, @julieroginsky.bsky.social & I showed how Russia used Nazis & white supremacists to influence the 2016 election. This week, we dig into how the Kremlin penetrated Fox News and other right-wing outlets Check out our series, subscribe, and please share so people can be armed with facts

US not prepared for war with Russia, it's recommended local and state governments take initiative due to near collapse of federal agencies under Trump. Unlike previous wars, this one will reach the homeland.

Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.

Reminder that RFK Jr is not a doctor. He is not a scientist. He has zero scientific literacy. He is not qualified to make any assertions about vaccines, disease, pediatrics, hospital parking... NOTHING. He is a fraud.

Damn…

Undermining the Fed to get lower rates now is like ripping the batteries out of your smoke alarm because it’s beeping. It’s quiet for a bit. Then your house burns down. Credibility anchors expectations; expectations anchor inflation.

They gaslit you all throughout the election.

No matter what you think about Mr. Abrego Garcia, if you believe in due process you should be infuriated by this. The Trump admin is threatening to dump him in Africa as punishment for not pleading guilty to criminal charges they brought to avoid complying with a court order.

It’s clear that the main goal of the Maxwell interview was to get her to say that she didn’t see Trump do anything wrong. Which can only mean that there is something in the files that suggests that he did. Why else would she need to say that? The interview is more incriminating, not less.

Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.

The network, which appeals to liberal audiences with a stable of personalities including Rachel Maddow, Ari Melber and Nicole Wallace, has been building its own separate news division from NBC News. https://to.pbs.org/4fLKseO

Translation: Trump says he’s increasing your electricity prices.

Texas Democratic Representative Nicole Collier has filed a lawsuit against state fascist republicans for locking her in the Texas House Chamber against her will. Good, fight. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that she’s a black woman since they are racist scumbags.

This is my country. I was born and raised here. I said the Pledge of Allegiance in grade school — and still say it at baseball games and veteran luncheons. I served in the military and earned a Purple Heart for it. I raised my children to be good Americans. Don’t ever try to take my country from me!

Hertling: When you saw Trump talking about how this is Biden’s war, saying it could have been prevented if Zelensky had just done X, Y, or Z — it’s ludicrous. This is a war that Putin has been planning and carried out on his own.

Are the mRNA vaccines incredible? YES! Are the mRNA vaccines perfect? No. Have the mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives? YES! Can we make the mRNA vaccines even better? YES! Can we use mRNA vaccine technology to prevent and treat many other diseases? YES! Fund mRNA research!

Just another totally unhinged official public statement from a President who is desperate to appeal to foreign dictators and silence Americans. But he doesn't dictate how we run our elections. WA state votes by mail in every election. We'll keep it that way—thanks.

Let me get this straight: RFK Jr’s $500m cut to mRNA contracts was based on a non‑peer‑reviewed, self‑published, anti-vax bibliography authored by his cronies who are all tied to a ‘vaccine detox’ supplement company? Got it 👍 www.importantcontext.news/p/experts-ci...

The GOP sales pitch on the Big Bull$hit Bill is like when your boss gives you a tiny raise —then doubles what you pay for health care premiums every month.

Mifepristone is safe and effective. There is no good reason for Costco to refuse to sell this medication. I am demanding that Costco immediately reverse course—follow the science and the facts, not the demands of far-right anti-abortion extremists.
