Barack and I are excited to share that the Water Garden at the Obama Presidential Center will be dedicated to his mother, Ann Dunham, and include a beautiful piece by Maya Lin. We are so grateful to our Obama Alumni for this incredible gift. ❤️ https://t.co/fRdDukT88G
Waiting for the people who attacked President Biden over the 2 Marines behind him to say something about the 35 law enforcement officials Trump used as props in a photo op last night
It’s creepy that how many in le are still trumpturds.
Thank god we don’t have any police unions here. You rarely see police posing with pols even though the top level grandees are political appointees from the police ranks.
JO’B, very specially thinking of you as we lived the times, and Dudette, as you are the music master of the TOD village
But also for everyone ~ a Labor Day reminder of how long we have been marching, fighting and speaking up really loud for We The People (and being ignored)
Hugs to you, Pamela 🤗🤗🤗❤️
I loved the “drove my chevy to the levee” song as a kid. I’d heard it was about Buddy Holly’s death, but not the whole story. Thanks for this!
You are most welcome. I like to know the stories, finding as I age gracefully I much prefer documentary films than fantasy or the other modalities which aim at impacting the ways we think. I hope you enjoyed it, Dudette. Hugs to you 💙💕💙
I have voted Tory most of my life. I stopped in July 2019 when Boris got elected. I thought then that the Tories were scraping the bottom of the barrel. Now they have gone one better and tipped the barrel over to elect whatever is underneath.
Labor Day is about celebrating the working class men and women whose grit and resilience built our country and made our economic progress possible. They’ve raised their voices, advocated for better working conditions, and kept our country going.
The Unveiling! It’s happening in just TWO DAYS! Squeeee!! 😁
IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING…
September 7th — President Biden & First Lady Dr Jill Biden will welcome back Barack & Michelle Obama to unveil the official Obama White House portraits. pic.twitter.com/7ipjP2nikM

information. NOR have they arrested him (even though they have probable cause+ to do so) as an incremental step to obtaining that information. This inaction makes no sense from a law enforcement perspective or from a national security perspective. Or from a justice perspective.
I read or heard that the DOJ, since it picks the list of candidates for Special Master, won't be impeded by this more than a few days. Said person will have to have the highest security clearance AND be utterly trustworthy. Appeal or appoint, DOJ's got this.
Even though this Judge’s Order appointing a special master won’t stop the very serious Trump stolen docs investigation, having been the decider of whether DOJ should appeal various cases in the past, I think DOJ has to appeal here. Sets a terrible precedent. That’s what I’d do
A reminder that Judge Cannon never should have taken this case. It was in the hands of the magistrate judge, she was picked by Trump’s lawyers solely because she was a Trumpist, in a jurisdiction nowhere near Mar-a-Lago. She has an effect engaged herself in obstruction of justice

A Trump judge delivers for Trump in a big way. Delays now could lead to further chaos and mischief on his part. A big win for Trump. A big loss for accountability. News organizations should dive deep into what Trump did to politicize the federal judiciary.
All the left legal minds & pundtwits on twitter, who were mocking the treasonous traitor’s lawyers as clueless and incompetent, are now acting shocked and couch fainting. Time to admit that the rethugs are ruthless experts in gaming the corrupt judicial system at all levels all the way right up to sc. e.g. roe vs wade being their biggest win. Now the fucking indies, the eternal fucking weathervanes, will now swing back to the fucking rethugs.
A long time ago now, it seems, but my daughter attended the same middle school as Stanley Ann Dunham, which we always thought was pretty cool. They walked the same halls, maybe sat in the same classrooms, quite a few years apart, but hey, so what!
Ann Dunham’s book, A Singular Woman, is an excellent read ~ gracing my bookshelves for many a year now.
A woman who made a difference everywhere she went, it makes sense Barack Obama is so awesome a human being, with such an amazing mama.
If you think you’re having a tough day spare a thought for the Queen. She’s got to have a meeting with Boris Johnson and, when that’s done, she’s got to have a meeting with Liz Truss too.
“Democracy cannot survive when one side believes there are only two outcomes to an election: either they win or they were cheated. And that’s where MAGA Republicans are today. (Applause.)
They don’t understand what every patriotic American knows: You can’t love your country only when you win. (Applause.) It’s fundamental.
American democracy only works only if we choose to respect the rule of law and the institutions that were set up in this chamber behind me, only if we respect our legitimate political differences.
I will not stand by and watch — I will not — the will of the American people be overturned by wild conspiracy theories and baseless, evidence-free claims of fraud.
I will not stand by and watch elections in this country stolen by people who simply refuse to accept that they lost. (Applause.)
I will not stand by and watch the most fundamental freedom in this country — the freedom to vote and have your vote counted — and — be taken from you and the American people. (Applause.)
Look, as your President, I will defend our democracy with every fiber of my being, and I’m asking every American to join me. (Applause.)”
Evidence – live and in living color https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2022/09/06/coffee-county-georgia-breach-logan/
Election deniers repeatedly visited Ga. county office at center of criminal probe, video shows
Technology consultants who sought evidence that Donald Trump’s 2020 defeat was fraudulent made multiple visits to a county elections office in rural Georgia in the weeks after an alleged post-election breach of voting equipment there that is the subject of a criminal investigation.
Surveillance video reviewed by The Washington Post shows that the consultants, Doug Logan and Jeffrey Lenberg, made two visits in January 2021 to the elections office in Coffee County, about 200 miles south of Atlanta. Lenberg made an additional five visits on his own.
F*CK YES! A County Commissioner in New Mexico has been REMOVED FROM OFFICE under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment for participating in the January 6 insurrection – the first time since 1869.

Republicans in key races scrap online references to Trump, abortion
Attempts by GOP candidates in competitive contests to pivot away from these issues have emboldened Democrats to mount an aggressive offense

“At least nine Republican congressional candidates have scrubbed or amended references to Trump or abortion from their online profiles in recent months, distancing themselves from divisive subjects that some GOP strategists say are two of the biggest liabilities for the party ahead of the post-Labor Day sprint to Election Day.”

Trump vows pardons,
government apology to Capitol rioters if elected
The comments came on the same day President Biden was delivering a prime-time address warning of the threat to democracy from “MAGA Republicans” and election deniers.
Why the FBI has become Trump’s most important political target
“When Donald Trump is in trouble, and he believes his interests are in serious jeopardy, he turns to a playbook that only has one page. It includes a crude sketch that calls for brute political force toward those who’ve put him in danger, in the hopes that he’ll survive by destroying their credibility.”
Inside Trump’s war on the National Archives
The agency has been hit with a wave of threats and vitriol since the FBI retrieved scores of classified records from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club
“Tucked in the lobby of Manhattan’s Trump Tower is a bar called 45 Wine and Whiskey.
At this Hard Rock Cafe knockoff, visitors can enjoy walls plastered with Trump presidential memorabilia that was likely snuck out of the White House-“

“The days of billion-dollar companies paying $0 in taxes are over in America.”
“President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act will make our tax code fairer by ensuring America’s largest, wealthiest corporations can’t get away with paying $0 in federal income tax.
And, no family making less than $400,000 a year will see their taxes go up by a single cent.”

Material on foreign nation’s nuclear capabilities seized at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago
Some seized documents were so closely held, only the president, a Cabinet-level or near-Cabinet level official could authorize others to know
Devlin Barrett and Carol D. Leonnig
“A document describing a foreign government’s military defenses, including its nuclear capabilities, was found by FBI agents who searched former president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and private club last month, according to people familiar with the matter, underscoring concerns among U.S. intelligence officials about classified material stashed in the Florida property.
Some of the seized documents detail top-secret U.S. operations so closely guarded that many senior national security officials are kept in the dark about them. Only the president, some members of his Cabinet or a near-Cabinet-level official could authorize other government officials to know details of these special-access programs, according to people familiar with the search, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive details of an ongoing investigation.”
Truss appointed Kwasi Kwarteng — whose parents came from Ghana in the 1960s — as Britain’s first Black finance minister, while James Cleverly is the first Black foreign minister.
Cleverly, whose mother hails from Sierra Leone and whose father is white, has in the past spoken about being bullied as a biracial child and has said the party needs to do more to attract Black voters.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who shed a tear or two during that magnificent @WhiteHouse unveiling of the official portraits of President and Mrs. Obama (and I admit I'm still a little teary-eyed!). Fabulous. So glad to enjoy their presence with President and Mrs. Biden, again.

He becomes only the second US president in history to win an Emmy.

Reasons why the country wanted Johnson to go:
• His dishonesty
• His taste for the high life paid for by others
• His lack of conviction, only backing ideas that could advance his career
Reasons why the Tory Party have (probably) chosen Truss:
• Her dishonesty
• Her taste for the high life paid for by others
• Her lack of conviction, only backing ideas that could advance her career
A Poundland Thatcher really isn’t what the country needs right now…

Material on foreign nation’s nuclear capabilities seized at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago
Some seized documents were so closely held, only the president, a Cabinet-level or near-Cabinet level official could authorize others to know
Devlin Barrett and Carol D. Leonnig
“A document describing a foreign government’s military defenses, including its nuclear capabilities, was found by FBI agents who searched former president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and private club last month, according to people familiar with the matter, underscoring concerns among U.S. intelligence officials about classified material stashed in the Florida property.
Some of the seized documents detail top-secret U.S. operations so closely guarded that many senior national security officials are kept in the dark about them. Only the president, some members of his Cabinet or a near-Cabinet-level official could authorize other government officials to know details of these special-access programs, according to people familiar with the search, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive details of an ongoing investigation.”

Liz Truss’ Cabinet is Britain’s first without a white man in one of the top jobs
The new British Prime Minister Liz Truss has selected a Cabinet in which for the first time a white man will not hold one of the country’s four most important ministerial positions.
Truss appointed Kwasi Kwarteng — whose parents came from Ghana in the 1960s — as Britain’s first Black finance minister, while James Cleverly is the first Black foreign minister.
Cleverly, whose mother hails from Sierra Leone and whose father is white, has in the past spoken about being bullied as a biracial child and has said the party needs to do more to attract Black voters.
–folks there not expecting any daylight between Truss and Boris.
Right ON!!..
