Chicago is NOT having it! Thousands took to the street yesterday in response to the orange overlord’s threats to our city. Today, hundreds showed up in Downers Grove, a nearby burb, when we found out ICE is staying at the Hampton Inn here. We will not be afraid & we will defend our neighbors!

Native born American workers lost 560,000 jobs in August alone.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

It’s always great to see the orange felon being booed everywhere he goes, especially when the boos are thunderous like those he received at the US Open men’s final in New York. He should be in jail, not watching tennis whilst destroying the country.

He always says the women are lying and it’s all a hoax. When are people going to realize that he’s the liar perpetrating a hoax by saying he’s telling the truth?

*NEWS*: Asawin Suebsaeng and Andrew Perez of Rolling Stone are joining Zeteo’s political team as new staff reporters, plus Peter Rothpletz will be helping me launch a progressive politics morning news letter. We’re also hiring a breaking news reporter.

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.

More evidence that the MAGA governors are fascist. The MAGA Party is an extremist cult of backward zombies with no original thoughts. They are as deranged as Trump.

Gavin Newsom responds to Fox's OBSESSION with him

I wish more politicians understood how the economy is rigged against regular people the way Bill Burr does.

Yes, we are witnessing the rise of fascism in America right before our eyes!

‪Climate change is now second only to free speech among issues where the American public wants to see businesses take a public stance (via @visuals.axios.com) www.axios.com/2025/08/06/c... (h/t @bernwoodsplacky.bsky.social )

At what point does Congress admit the president is a clear and present danger to the United States?

Again: this is not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”

Questions that should have been asked during today’s briefing: 1. Your first question was to a man who spread the QAnon pizzagate lie. Is that what this WH thinks journalism should be? 2. If this administration wants to be tough on crime, then why is it coddling a notorious child rapist/trafficker?

🌞 TYSVM Conor + Crew 🙏🤩😍😎 🦋💙 Have a Terrific Tuesday 💙🦋 🦋💙 #ABSOFUKINLUTELY 💙🦋

Donald Trump is a corrupt, self-serving, moronic, lying, racist, misogynistic, cowardly, duplicitous, narcissistic, traitorous scumbag. Pass it on.

This should absolutely be illegal! Oklahoma's new "America First" teacher certification test will require educators from California and New York to agree with conservative curriculum. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Do you have access to the EPSTEIN Files? Want to be inducted into the Whistleblower's Hall of Fame, be glorified in history as the Savior of Democracy & have an annual holiday named in your honor? All of this can be yours if you simply: #LeakTheEPSTEIN-Files!* *victim's names redacted, of course

to be honest One of greatest passages ever written down, was down a few paragraphs into the Declaration of Independence... This too I'll post... It'll take 2 full posts. It, is even more powerful and reminds us that We, the Sovereign are the power; authority for it, resides one way, from the People.

Here ya go... I'll post the link as well. This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.’

@atpgeo.bsky.social again apologies... But HERE is the facts! And I've said, it's not that elections won't be fair.... As there WON'T be elections! Expect a war, sadly, martial law, and no elections... Jesus with ever day that passes im saddened there is not a particular obituary added.

Absolutely, beautiful...

Gavin Newsom responds to Fox's Dana Perino melting down over his tweets:

Medicare for All? “Socialism!” Social Security? “Socialism!” Free college? “Socialism!” Universal childcare? “Socialism!” But a $1 trillion tax break for the top 1%… “That’s just normal.”

Groceries, utilities, and health care all cost more today. But rather than helping bring prices down, Republicans passed legislation that slashes health care for 17 million Americans while funneling trillions in tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations.

This is our global representative. How embarrassing. He sounds high.

Don't look now but here is Trump getting eaten for lunch...

My 6 year old daughter was playing with her dolls. I was watching the news & a story came on about the gutting of USAID & how millions of poor would suffer & die My daughter came over & sat on my lap "Daddy, why did people vote for Mr Trump if they knew he was a bad man"? What do I say to my baby?

And yet! And yet… …the White House press corps plays along.
