The President’s attempts to militarize U.S. cities is not a sign of strength – it’s a sign of weakness. We will continue to protect the American people’s power in court.

GOV & POLITICS GROWTH & HOUSING Utah officials unveil site for 1,300-bed homeless campus after long, secretive search 15.8-acre, Salt Lake City-owned property is west of Rose Park, near North Salt Lake boundary BY: KATIE MCKELLAR - SEPTEMBER 3, 2025 7:00 AM

2 in 3 Americans are “one paycheck away from homelessness”

And in Utah they’re building a concentration camp for unhoused people

Modeled after Alligator Auschwitz and serving as a test case for the criminalization and disappearance of poverty

Caused by the very same government that ended SNAP.

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

This is the WORST OF THE WORST??????????????? LIARS!!!!!!

Attorney General Dan Rayfield: Before the Supreme Court, the government’s own attorney admitted that the American people will pay 30-80% of Trump’s tariffs. These tariffs are an unlawful tax on working families.

According to a person familiar with jury lunches

This is the context for that still picture that's been going around.

Eight months ago, Rep. Sylvester Turner D-TX died. His seat in the U.S. House is still vacant. On Tuesday, two Dems advanced to a runoff for that Houston-area seat. When is the runoff?? We don't know.

That runoff date still must be set by Gov. Greg Abbott.

Rep. @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social Grijalva: “What Speaker Johnson has done by not seating me is highlight how corrupt Trump is and allow me to connect with people across the country.” #TrumpEpsteinCoverUp

Teacher unions sue to protect student loan forgiveness (The Center Square) - A coalition of teacher unions and nonprofits sued the U.S. Department of Education this week over its new rule limiting Public Service Loan Forgiveness for government

Trump's changes to PSLF would implement an ideological litmus test, draining talent from desperately needed jobs that help vulnerable communities & saddling workers with insurmountable debt. www.thecentersquare.com/national/art...

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago.

Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

Sometimes you don’t win, but you scare the living crap out of ‘em.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

I voted YES on 50 in California.

I just sent him a message telling him to resign because he definitely does not represent the people that voted him in.

We do not want you, Federman you’re not even true to your own party. Time to retire.

FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.

In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty.

“They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”

Robert Reich What Democrats SHOULD Be Doing

Fighting against Trump isn’t enough.

It's time for Democrats to show America what they're fighting FOR — and embrace the fresh, new voices leading the way.

60 Minutes Obeys in Advance Read more here.

When I read the full transcript of the interview, I realized there had been no pushback, no corrections, no challenging follow-ups. The entire interview had been an open-ended opportunity for Trump to tell rambling lies, only to have them cleaned up into a more polished product.

Fingers crossed.

If you have gun(s) at home, lock them up!

Set an example.

Prove you are mature enough to handle guns.
