Huge headlines around the world. In major US corporate media, complete silence. Something fishy here.

The remote rendezvous in August highlights the remarkable relationship between a son of the US president and a businessman with ties to the Kremlin. ft.trib.al/9g7wnme

Every country should declare him a pariah and ban his products. He needs to lose everything and live in a cardboard box under a bridge for the rest of his life.

Bernie Sanders: "If you believe as I do that Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in the history of the United States, we need to get rid of that rubber stamp Republican leadership in the House and Senate."

AM early vote update. We continue to see a significant surge of blacks, young people, & Hispanics voting in this year's early vote. Here's % increase compared to 2022 on same day: 11% Black 25% 18-29 42% Hispanic/Latino As polls show D margins at 2022 or better it's encouraging stuff.

Writers Guild speaks out about tech platforms squashing the @alexgibneyfilm doc about Elon Musk: “A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration threatens democratic discourse.”

One of the many reasons Catholics are leaving the church. And don’t hand me the bull that we all deserve prayers. This president is evil and those religious leaders should be in the streets helping the poor and tending to the deported.

NEW: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.

Many called Jared Kushner corrupt Many noted he took bribes from Middle Eastern autocrats, especially Saudi Arabia, skewing US foreign policy And they were right But as this reveals, he's even more corrupt and took even more money from Middle Eastern autocrats that many, even strong critics, knew

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Jared Kushner’s hacked iPhone revealed he promised MBS and MBZ he would push their agenda with Trump if they participated in a secret fund, with the two royals initially discussing over $10B before ultimately placing at least $2B into his accounts. Paywalled, use archive. archive.ph/FHGAt

The Art of the Deal: Jared Kushner’s Hacked Phone Revealed His Secret Negotiations—Including More Than $700 Million in Transfers Excerpt from Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed’s Secret Plot to Remake the Middle East, by Matthew Cole www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

What will make this even more delicious is if Jared Kushner's felonious father-in-law is only finding out about this from reporting. Trump has just sicced DOJ on Corey Lawandosky, probably for not wetting Donald's beak with Corey's own shakedown schemes.

So we’re all fighting to stop Trump’s agenda, protect healthcare, and defend democracy, and Carville is more worried about the DSA.

Ossoff: "The crisis we must meet is deeper than this presidency. Trump's rise is proof that business as usual has failed, that our politics, sickened by corruption, is failing the American public and compromising our national integrity. And that the hour is late to fix what's broken."

Ossoff: "He said he would rename Hormuz the 'Trump Strait.' The draft-dodging president tells jokes while 21 Americans are dead and hundreds wounded ... they've drained our stockpiles to achieve nothing while the crook commander in chief builds a monument to himself."

27,000 New Yorkers lost their SNAP benefits due to cruel cuts from the federal government. If you’re one of them, NYC is here to help. As of October 1st, you can re-enroll for SNAP benefits. But there are new rules. Call 718-SNAP-NOW or visit nyc.gov/ACCESSHRA for help re-enrolling.

We don’t allow corporations to come up with new nuclear weapons or biological pathogens. If a product is potentially dangerous, it should be regulated and corporations should be held accountable for wrongdoing. Why would AI be any different?

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

MS. RACHEL: “How can this cruelty continue? Why isn’t this covered in mainstream news?” There is no cease fire

Dear Trump voters, You wanted mass deportations. Well, hundreds of thousands of people have been deported. NOW WHAT? • Did you get that job they supposedly took from you? • Did grocery prices drop? • Is rent cheaper? • Did your health insurance premiums drop? #TrumpsAbuseOfPower 🧵

No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

Ossoff: "I want to remind folks across Georgia that while you pay more for everything as a result of Donald Trump's incompetence, the president and his family are enriching themselves to the tune of billions of dollars ... we urgently need to restore checks and balances"

We love Susan! 💚💚💚 Not all hero’s wear capes some wear Primus shirts!

This hero doesn't need a cape she has a Primus T-shirt & good morals! ✨I love her!

Why can’t Kristen Welker handle Rahm Emanuel? @kristenwelker.bsky.social #rahmemanuel

I am still salty when he was Ambassador to Japan he would not attend the memorial 50 years for Hiroshima- he would not attend because Japan had recognized Palestine. So bad and embarrassing for our country

Rahm Emanuel is the poster boy for the feckless, neoliberal, corporate-loving faction that almost destroyed the Democratic Party. He and his ilk, and the consultant class that guides them need to be relegated to the dustbin of history. Including @schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm-bomb

Why do we need ICE? Abolish ICE should be a litmus for any candidate moving forward.

"Manuel" shared this video from where he was dumping tomatoes into the trailers. "I get paid around $150 per 5-7 hour day. The buckets weigh about 30 pounds when full of tomatoes. I dump around 1,500 buckets daily. It’s hard work and my shoulders and arms ache." #WeFeedYou

“He should’ve spent his life in prison. Ken offered him ONE DAY in jail. An Epstein-style sweetheart deal.” A new 🔥 @jamestalarico.bsky.social ad says we don’t need any more pedophile protectors in Washington.

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 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.

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

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.
