Raskin emphasizes the urgency of the midterm elections: Trump is already trying to influence the vote, just as he attempted to overturn the 2020 result. Americans fear he will take the same approach in 2026, acting in an openly illegal manner. #ProudBlue #DV1

What a surprise that America’s Putin Party continues to slow walk this while continuing to do nothing.
“Folks are mad at him” Rep Chris Deluzio (D-PA) about political problem for Sen John Fetterman (D-PA), who did not appear at greeting area of the huge Labor Day parade in Pittsburgh
Thing is, I am not entirely sure he "gatecrashed" anything or "confronted" anyone. I think there is a perfectly good possibility - I put it no higher - this was arranged with Yusuf and as "spontaneous" as the disorder. If my instinct is right, it's the starting pistol for the race to replace Farage.

MSNOW: Joel, what was your first reaction to what Witkoff said to Putin? RUBIN: I mean, that was embarrassing. No American diplomat should ever be communicating like that to a foreign dictator who’s invaded an ally of United States and caused hundreds of thousands of deaths.
As I've said many times. it's an idiocracy. The never ending the stupidity of this whole MAGAT administration!
Well, that's the MAGAt's thinking for sure! Morons all of them!

I helped momma decorate the front porch today. I still think we need a few black cats to really make it festive.
You can see over the last few days the ENSO 3.4 region has jumped upward. No surprise here. A westerly wind burst is doing what it does. We are now 2.9C above avg and what’s crazy is the next closest year on this date is 1997 at 1.9C… a full 1C behind 2026… 1/
Jeff Berardelli @weatherprof.bsky.social · 10h ago*Big El Niño Boost in next few weeks! Our already record El Niño is about to get a spike to “Historic”.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.
U.S. employers spend more than $1.5 billion annually on union avoidance
Key takeaways Many U.S. employers hire union avoidance consultants to keep their workers from organizing and bargaining

The current president of the United States of America is corrupt and treasonous.
The crippled, toothless tiger with a 32% approval rating vows to lead his ragtag band of MAGA morons to a massive landslide victory in November.
Alt National Park Service@altnps.bsky.social · 6h agoWhat a Labor Day message 🙄, but yes most of us are exhausted by the constant chaos coming from this corrupt administration. But being exhausted doesn’t mean we will stop fighting.
Indonesia's Anak Krakatau volcano erupted this weekend, sending a cloud of ash 50,000ft into the sky and forcing flights to be cancelled. Birds are fleeing the area in mass numbers. Ash begins to blanket Sumatra and Java. Is this a repeat of the 1883 eruption that changed the world’s climate?
