GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers voted against legislation guaranteeing health care for first responders sickened by the Sept. 11 attacks. On 9 separate votes or legislative actions between 2003-2010, he opposed, tried to block, or sought to restrict federal health care funding for 9/11 responders.

Mike Rogers opposed 9/11 responder health care not twice, but nine times - Detroit Metro Times

Newly uncovered record shows Mike Rogers repeatedly opposed efforts to establish, advance, or fund medical care for people sickened after the Sept. 11 attacks.

Who knew that defacing the building, tearing up its trees, removing its sculptures, replacing the Board with political cronies, giving the finger to every performer who isn’t a Trump voter, and talking down its facilities daily would cause a revenue drop?

Kennedy Center could close as early as Tuesday, warns of bankruptcy, documents show

Officials said the center is facing “certain fiscal collapse” within weeks, insist that adding President Donald Trump’s name may be the only way to avoid bankruptcy.

And yet there are people who actually believe this clown is going to send them a check for $5,000.

Flock cameras can see dead people?

Over on X: Students: U Texas pulled out a miracle win against Ohio State. Racist: Some of you are not white. Let's make this about our feels! Racist #2: Yeah, foreigners go home! Someone: Actually, they are residents of the state. Racists: How can they be? They aren't white! #Satire

Why the sour puss? A woman he can’t lunge at or insult? Holding it in is a real bitch, eh?

And those persons prosecuted for vandalism by Drumpf's Department of Injustice, Revenge and Diversion (from incompetence, corruption and the Epstein Files) should get massive settlements or damage awards.

Sums it all up. If it happened again, We'd feed and shelter your folks again. If it happened to us, You'd probably send ICE.

Wild guess: a malignant narcissist (perhaps one also descending into dementia)?

What kind of person tries to make one of our Nation's greatest tragedies all about themself? #Pathetic

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

9/11 victim Michael Massaroli’s son: "You do my dad's legacy & the legacy of all victims no honor using this tragedy to spread hate. I've had to spend 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers & sisters, people who don't look like them."

He yells at female reporters, (sorry… Black female reporters) and NO ONE in the White House Press Corps will attempt to defend the women. That’s how low we have sunk.

Atlantic Industrial Coatings, the contractor that renovated the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, admits errors in its own work and flaws in the repair plan, NOT VANDALISM, caused the pool’s blue liner to peel and break loose. Atlantic is being paid $14.7 million. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/c...

I liked this thread.

I'm sorry, we weren't united after 9/11. We were afraid, then demagogues and warmongers have manipulated that fear into wars against innocent people for 25 years.

I absolutely LOVE this. Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen. This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.

Oh, darn. You would think he might rather address how it is not a violation of federal criminal law. But, sure.

White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett played down concerns that President Donald Trump’s proposal to send $5,000 checks to every adult US citizen would add to worries about historically high government borrowing.

If you follow me and want to help, I only have one request. Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

Is there a crime-specific version of sanewashing? It is genuinely shocking how the NYT is sanitizing Trump's demand that his supporters commit election fraud for him.

According to new research, Europe was also the fastest-growing long-haul region for Saudi leisure travellers between 2019 and 2025. ➡️ https://l.euronews.com/PRPW

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?

If you haven’t watched Jimmy Kimmel’s interview from last night, you should. The FCC and this administration are constantly trying to squash the resistance, but the resistance always finds a way around them. They can keep trying to silence people. It isn’t working. Tomorrow there will be more of us!

OMG!

You know who really did show up? Canadian police officers, firefighters, and medical personnel came to NYC, on and off duty, traveling independently or in groups to stand with Americans and help shoulder the enormous burden of recovery and cleanup at Ground Zero. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

An impeachable offense for just showing up.
