If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

Losers Yesterday: - Fascists - Billionaires - Tech Bros - Corrupt Politicians - AIPAC - Heritage Foundation - Christian Nationalists - White Supremacists - Pedophile Protectors - Transphobes Winners Yesterday: - The People

BERNIE: "One of the great political upsets in the history of 🇺🇸. Zohran has taken on the oligarchs who spent millions trying to defeat him. He's taken on Trump, the Republican establishment, the Democratic establishment.”

As @GovBillLee & Tennessee Republicans steer hundreds of millions to private schools with vouchers — Instead of paying teachers more, Speaker Sexton wants to address the teacher shortage by lowering standards.

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican. It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong. Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up. The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

💙 Another child dies from measles 💙 🍼 Infected with measles as an infant BEFORE they were eligible to receive the vaccine. 🧠 They developed SSPE - a rare but fatal complication that shows 2-10 years after infection. ‼️ THIS is we why need need vaccine mandates. Save our babies. #SacktheQuack

Inflation accelerated in August as Americans paid more for gasoline and groceries. Over the last 12 months, consumer prices have risen 2.9%.

I wrote a little something that y’all might find helpful in discussions about the #petehegseth tattoo issue

Trump publicly praises a murdered white supremacist. But refuses to even acknowledge the domestic terrorism attack on a federal institution—or the police officer murdered protecting fed employees. His silence speaks volumes. (Thx to whoever made this image - apologies for not giving you credit!)

The Trump administration announced plans to roll back protections that had reserved millions of acres of public land for conservation and recreation.

Stroke, TIA?

At least two students have been shot at Evergreen High School in Evergreen, Colorado, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

Christianity has never been attacked in this country. Except by other Christians. They have never been the victims, but they choose to claim victimhood so that they can victimize others.

To be fair, I don’t think anyone should make this man a martyr. However, when you spread that much hate, don’t be surprised when hate knocking at your door. I support gun reform for shit like this too #deconstruction #exvangelical #currentevents #news

Protesters disrupted Trump’s dinner in DC, chanting “Free DC! Free Palestine! Trump is the Hitler of our time!” This needs to be done nonstop. Keep making their lives hell. Make sure they know they’re despised. These white supremacist, Christian nationalist, pedophilic fascists must know no peace.

Wow. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. just single-handedly ruled that Congress doesn’t really control the purse strings. This is becoming a massive crisis for checks and balances and the separation of powers.

Since 2000, average rent has increased by 139.4% compared to 112.3% for median full-time wages, meaning the growth in rents has outpaced wage growth by roughly 24.1%

REPUBLICAN Senator @RandPaul calls out Vice President @JDVance for saying “I don’t give a shit” re: bombing alleged drug runners in international waters without a trial, or even an arrest. A lawless regime.

The Epstein saga lays bare the playbook: right-wing media, GOP politicians & MAGA propagandists colluding to hide heinous acts, divert attention and protect the powerful. It’s what they do on EVERY issue. If your eyes are open, you can't miss it — unless you are willingly looking the other way.

Spencer Kuvin, Epstein's victims' lawyer, says the FBI interviewed 40+ girls, some just 14, and prepared a 54-count indictment. Then came the secret plea deal that let Epstein walk. Those interviews are in the files. Kuvin says Alan Dershowitz scoured the girls' MySpace pages to smear them as liars.

BRUTAL JOBS REPORT: Just 22,000 jobs added in August. Unemployment rises to 4.3%. Broader jobless rate jumps to 8.1%. Slowest 4-month growth since 2020. Plus, downward revisions for June and July of -21,000. Yikes.

It’s almost like the vice president doesn’t fully understand tariffs

Jobs report disaster — the economy hasn’t been this bad since last time Trump was in office. Trump panic posts about Epstein as MAGA melts down over Trump’s recent guests. And much more. Learn more in today’s bulletin:

Chicago roads are looking pretty icy, might be time for some salt. Strange for September, but you can never be too prepared.

I don’t wanna hear a single word about conservatives caring about the safety of women. Full stop. Absolute treacherous liars

What Trump dumped on Congress from the Epstein files. Looks like D.C. really did run out of black Sharpies. For context, this is Document 380, a motion in limine filed by Maxwell’s defense team on October 29, 2021, trying to block evidence tied to “Accuser-3” from being heard at trial.

This week’s main story is about the recent deportations by the Trump administration, the flimsy pretexts behind them, and why the state of current events is a lot more than certain carpet companies have bargained for. You’ll see.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

DONELSON, TN: “No kings! No cuts to health care!” Folks showed up today to see a Rep. Andy Ogles staffer at their scheduled monthly senior center visit - but Ogles’ staff didn’t show up as they were scheduled to.🐔 (They were happy to see us though! 🎉 )

There’s a new Health Alert Network (HAN) notification out for Dengue virus, which is most commonly spread through the bites of infected mosquitos of the Aedes species in warmer climates, including the southern US and Puerto Rico. www.cdc.gov/han/2025/han...

Reminds us of how @marshablackburn voted against it then showed up to try to take credit for it: x.com/thetnholler/...

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% of the country controls $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕🇺🇸

Town hall chants “TAX THE RICH!” at Republican congressman. The people are waking up.

I have no doubt that a result of Trump’s illegal firings today will be higher prices for American consumers because the FTC cop is now off the beat. Trump’s descent into dictatorship continues unabated. robertreich.substack.com/p/more-of-tr...

🇨🇦 “Amid a tense political climate, Flair Airlines has canceled flights from Canada to Nashville… Department of Tourist Development Commissioner Mark Ezell said it’s a loss of about 18,000 seats…” www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

While the U.S. grapples with an egg shortage caused by avian flu, eggs remain plentiful and affordable in Canada. There are reasons for that, including that egg farms there tend to be smaller.

Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more. Taking back our power starts now.

Boycotting Tesla is not "illegal", as Trump claims. The purpose of a boycott is to send a clear message: We the people have the power and choice to not give our hard-earned cash to billionaire oligarchs.

Cowardice. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/u...

US added to the global human rights watchlist due to declining civil liberties.

The announcement further unsettled department employees who have spent the past several weeks anticipating sweeping staff cuts.
