It should be a litmus test for Democratic presidential primary candidates whether they will restore the White House and DC public properties to exactly the way they were before the Palm Beach lounge lizard decided to turn it into Mar-a-Lago meets 1936 Nuremberg.

15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more. Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

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.

Insurance rates up $2000. Food benefits cut off. Farmers unable to sell their crops. Skyrocketing national debt. $40 billion to Argentina. America First!

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

The first review for my book is in, and I got the coveted star from Kirkus! So deeply honored and over the moon. What a summary: “A passionate and urgent account that transforms the embers of a bypassed history into flames that consume the present.” www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

I haven't laughed this hard in a while.

“America’s senior military officers, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine, must approach Trump now and make clear to him that they will not obey illegal orders to act against American citizens or disrupt the American political process.” www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Someone should do a FOIA request for the raw footage of the videos they took of that Chicago raid and then edited into a fascist ad for ICE.

“I don’t know this woman, Ghislaine Maxwell — never met her. My lawyer only coached her for, what, eight hours? Then she gets transferred to Club Fed’s Yoga Camp. Total coincidence!” - DJT

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

It's a joke! It's funny! It's fucking hilarious! Hahahaha! We'll all laugh together cause it's a joke! If you don't like it JD Vance then I will take it down once you resign as VP and never seek public office again. Deal? 🤣🤣🤣 #Colbert

The Trump admin plans to open 13M acres for new coal mining and invest $625M in reviving coal power plants. Officials say it will strengthen energy reliability, but critics warn it risks reversing progress toward clean power. More via AP: apnews.com/article/eebe... #CSUNJ495

I'm going to hate this #SupremeCourt forever. Forever. #Forever.

Pope Leo XIV says 'inhuman treatment of immigrants' in the U.S. isn't 'pro-life' www.npr.org/2025/10/01/n...

Shocker. The judge knows he'll be fired if he rules in favor of Mr. Abrego Garcia. The system is rigged.

Pete Hegseth will text secret war plans, but he prefers to do his body-shaming face-to-face

Sinclair and Nexstar, which combined own more than 60 ABC affiliates in markets including Washington, D.C., New Orleans, Seattle and St. Louis, will air “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” again beginning Friday on.wsj.com/46HTS70

Gosh I remember when important government officials accepting a big bag of cash as part of an FBI investigation would be a problem.

For you in Missouri…Sinclair who is trying to slant the news for Trump and refusing to accept Jimmy Kimmel’s show…owns ABC Channel 30 KDNL in St Louis.

"Some Republicans will need to ask themselves a very important question: Will they spend all their political capital keeping the Epstein files secret?" www.msnbc.com/top-stories/... @clairecmc.bsky.social Claire McCaskill @msnbc.com

Fighting for healthcare is the reason Ds are asking for negotiations. NO ONE IS ASKING FOR HEALTHCARE BENEFITS FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Rs are lying about that. Health insurance costs for 22 million in limbo as shutdown begins - The Hill

Today marks the first day in the 55-year history of PBS and 54-year history of NPR that public media has broadcast to its audiences without federal funding. But even though lots of local outlets are at risk, PBS and NPR are still here, providing fair, accurate news coverage and will not be silenced.

Dr. Jane Goodall, the legendary animal rights advocate, has died at 91. Dr. Goodall's life was a beacon for progressive activism — a bridge between science and moral purpose. Dr. Goodall stood against corporate greed, environmental destruction, and right-wing denialism of climate science.

Okay, gang! I’m back! Feeling much, much better, thankyouverymuch! The shutdown should motivate more people to engage. This edition of “Stuff to Do” offers some ideas. Most of the posts are Houston area-centric but I know that wherever you are, there’s plenty happening! Let’s go!

We’re united with baristas in their fight for a fair contract. And if Starbucks’ failure to bargain in good faith forces them to go on strike, you’ll find me on the picket line.

BREAKING: Democrat Xp Lee wins the Minnesota House special election to fill the seat of Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated in June.

Why would the DOJ scrub the fact that right-wing extremism is the #1 domestic terror threat in America? Why not acknowledge and confront it? Also why haven't they released the Epstein Files? Also why did Ghislaine Maxwell get a sweetheart deal transfer? These problems won't go away.

The road to Trump’s Project 2025 fascism is lined with smiling people telling you to stop overreacting.

I like my polio & small pox eradicated. Do people realize that their kids can die or be handicapped by these diseases? Diptheria, percussion, tetanus, thyphus, small pox, even polio & measles are killers.

DISEASES ERADICATED OR DECIMATED BY SCIENCE: 1. Chickenpox 2. Diphtheria 3. Measles 4. Pertussis 5. Pneumococcal Infection 6. Polio 7. Tetanus 8. Typhoid 9. Yellow Fever 10. Smallpox DISEASES ERADICATED OR DECIMATED BY TRUMP, RFK JR. OR DR. OZ: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

America is bailing out Argentina, while Argentine farmers sell soybeans to China instead of American farmers, thereby bankrupting them, which is why America also have to bail out American farmers. If this is considered winning, I fear what losing looks like.

"Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter what the indictment says, because Halligan was going to indict Comey no matter what. That’s literally why she’s in the job — to bring the sort of sham charges that the previous US attorney, Eric Siebert, would not."

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

Speak Truth......

Most countries lack confidence in Peabrain-Potus. No shit Sherlock. #USDemocracy

Speak Truth.....to habitual liars...

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Speak Truth .........
