MIKE JOHNSON: We have to ensure that the rule of law applies to everyone TAPPER: Does the rule of law apply to people who stormed the Capitol on January 6? JOHNSON: Apparently there were 274 FBI agents in the crowd TAPPER: They were sent there to do crowd control. It wasn't a false flag operation

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

Sen. Mark Warner corners RFK jr. on covid deaths. Kennedy is unable to provide a specific number.. and claims the data is unreliable. Warner says it’s unbelievable he doesn’t know that number 8 months into the job.

Now, the President has rolled back many of those reforms while gutting the FEMA budget. Less money and fewer guardrails will mean slower response times and less support to devastated communities (3/3).

Following the disastrous response to the devastation in New Orleans in 2005, Congress strengthened and expanded FEMA giving the agency more resources to respond quickly to major disasters (2/3).

On the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, I am deeply concerned by the cuts proposed by President Trump to FEMA (1/3).

Yesterday I joined superintendents from across Contra Costa County to discuss education priorities in CA-10. I appreciate to opportunity to connect directly with district leaders about the Trump Administration’s efforts to dismantle public education and my work to fight back (1/2).

Together with my @laborcaucus.house.gov colleagues, I’m advocating on behalf of workers every day in Congress and I am proud to sponsor the #PROAct to support CA-10 workers in the fight for better wages, benefits, & working conditions (2/2).

On Labor Day we honor the legacy and bravery of workers throughout history who fought for dignity on the job, including the 8-hour workday and safer working conditions (1/2).

Thanks, luceamore. No Bed, Bath & Beyond for us! I think I was in one once but didn't buy anything. Maybe that was the cause of their bankruptcy. Butterfly effect.

VP from Hell. Ice President JD Vance was branded a “condescending prick” over the way he welcomed Ukrainian President Zelenskyy into the Oval Office on Monday. Vance recalled telling Zelenskyy just before his meeting with Trump: “Mr. President, so long as you behave, I won’t say anything.” -HuffPo

Like typical Republicans, Bed Bath & Beyond blames Democrats for their own mistakes. As Bed Bath & Beyond emerges from a bankruptcy that forced the closure of all its stores, the company’s executive chairman took aim at California, saying he refuses to reopen locations in the state. (LA Times)

New poll today in LA Times of voter sentiment about Newsom's redistricting proposition, scheduled for November. Not as lopsided as the earlier poll, but still strongly favorable. YES 48% NO 32/33% UNDECIDED 20%

Newsom: We can’t do things the way we’ve done. Let’s disabuse ourselves of that. The Democratic Party needs to assert itself. We need to be strong again. Strength matters. People want conviction. They want character. They want a sense of intention and purpose…

Mental health break… A golden flame canna lily from my yard.

Make peace not war

This is exactly what happens in a fascist regime. People who speak out getting violently abducted.

It’s Friday and on Fridays we usually dance but this Friday…

My name is Graham Platner, and I’m the oyster farmer, veteran, and Democrat running for Senate against Susan Collins here in Maine. I’m not going to speak in platitudes or shy away from what I believe. There is a war going on in this country, and the oligarchy and the fascists are winning right now.

From yesterday, by me, on why Newsom is doing the right thing, right now. Save any talk about 2028 for later on. It's a distraction. We have to deal with the emergency in front of us. fallows.substack.com/p/which-side...

Proud to join Denmark Foreign Affairs Minister @lars-loekke.bsky.social and Ambassador Sørensen to sign a new partnership between California and Denmark. Our message to the rest of the world is clear: California is a stable, reliable partner — no matter who's in the White House.

From my old yearbook. We'll see!

If we want to beat Susan Collins, then we need to try something new. The same old, tired playbook is not going to work.

We are adding over 300 volunteers — *every day*. It’s a movement. Climb aboard. Join us Monday.

Anyone who can unseat Collins - a treacherous quisling - deserves praise.

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.
