One of many concerned citizens. Love democracy, want it to remain healthy and strong. Positive strong alliances with other democratic countries are ESSENTIAL.
I’m 73 years old, and I’ve lived long enough to see America at its best and at its worst. I’ve seen boys barely old enough to shave shipped off to Vietnam. I’ve seen Americans march in the streets for civil rights, demanding this country live up to its promises.: cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/09/im-7...

Judge Orders Trump Officials to Divulge Names of Those Who Set Up $1.8 Billion Fund (Gift Article)
The plan to create a fund that could have funneled taxpayer money to the president’s allies drew repeated scrutiny, including a rare rebuke from Senate Republicans.

Just an FYI: the judge didn’t block the USPS ballot scanning rule from going into effect, she blocked them from making it mandatory. Make sure you have a back up plan to vote.
With the White House and its allies trying to undermine the will of the people, it's more important than ever to know your voting rights and be prepared to vote this November. As @skyeperryman.bsky.social says, when chaos and confusion is the point, it's up to the people to push against it.
Top former U.S. military leaders are sounding the alarm that Pete Hegseth is doing “active harm” to the Pentagon as the Iran war exposes serious problems inside the military. And Hegseth’s response? An extraordinary hunt for whoever is leaking the truth. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

A new DHS whistleblower says the rushed vetting process for ICE agents skips fingerprint checks and identity verification before they start working. We may literally not know the true names of ICE agents. Subscribe paid or unpaid for more: open.substack.com/pub/thefrank...
Science and research matter. I stopped by PNNL's new Bench to Bay Lab in Sequim, which I secured funding for, to learn about its research on marine environments and radioactive materials at sea.
Every Republican in Congress owns what Trump has done, is doing and is going to do. The vast majority of it would not have been possible without their collective acquiescence and enabling. He’s emboldened by the fact that Congress refuses to function as a separate branch of govt.
Still nothing on the White House website about Labor Day.
Bill Kristol@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social · yesterday"Go to the Trump White House website. Type in “Labor Day 2026." You find...nothing. Maybe the Trump White House will rush to get something up. But as of now—nothing. Perhaps the Trump administration has just decided this year to embrace its plutocratic essence." www.thebulwark.com/p/iran-war-v...
Hegseth's Pentagon straps about 50 officers from the Joint Staff to lie detector machines to investigate leaks and intimidate senior military in what appears to be an unprecedented mass polygraph blitz. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/04/u...
In Major Leak Hunt, Pentagon Gives Polygraph Tests to Joint Staff Members
About 50 people were tested, an unparalleled inquiry that comes in the wake of news reports about the war with Iran and the U.S. military’s diminished stocks of munitions.

There should be a massive investigation into Mitch McConnell whereabouts & cover-up. Our taxes are being spent without representation, which is against the Constitution. But this Regime doesn't care about our Constitution, since they operate under Project 2025 now.
Pops@pops131.bsky.social · 13h agoHis wife, his staff, and Jennings should all face legal consequences. 😠😡
If we vote, we'll win. Now, how do we get people out to vote?
Trump has found so many ways to use the presidency to enrich himself and his family that we had to narrow the list down. Here are 75 of the most staggering examples of Trump corruption in 2026. And yes, there were more. Read Ron Filipkowski’s full breakdown:
The 75 Most Corrupt Things Trump Did in 2026

If Trump can’t get USPS to disenfranchise voters through mail voting the way he wants, the story won’t end there. “He’ll escalate,” Marc Elias says. “He’ll do something even more extreme … because that’s what Donald Trump does.” Don’t miss a single update: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg
Absolutely! I believe this principle should extend to the House as well—especially considering they're often the source of the issues.
Huge corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Uber are among the top employers of SNAP and Medicaid recipients. Meanwhile, their CEOs are raking in multi-million dollar pay packages. How is this not a bigger scandal?
If John Fetterman hates being a senator so much he can always—and should—make his way to the nearest exit door. He is a public servant, not an indentured one. Bye!
