Roy Cohn taught Donald Trump all the tricks. Take whatever you want. Admit nothing. Deny everything. Turn the tables on your accusers. Both are corrupt villains who have deeply damaged our country.

90 years ago. FDR:

"Labor Day belongs to all of us. Labor Day symbolizes the hope of all Americans. The Fourth of July commemorates our political freedom... Labor Day symbolizes our determination to achieve an economic freedom for the average man..."

I’ve said it my entire career: the middle class built America. And unions built the middle class. To every worker who's ever punched a clock, worked a double, or walked a line for fair wages – and to everyone who stands up for them, at the bargaining table, in the statehouse, or on the shop floor: thank you. This country runs in large part because of you.

We overcame one Gilded Age and we can overcome this one. Time for a new square deal like TR’s 3 C’s: Corporate control, Consumer protection and Conservation of natural resources. Happy Labor Day.

When I first ran for governor, Illinois’ finances were a national punchline.

Our credit rating was heading towards bankruptcy.
We had billions in unpaid bills.
Our roads and bridges were crumbling.

Now, Illinois just earned its 12TH CREDIT UPGRADE in a row. 🎉

Couldn't cool off Coop today 🔥

Cooper Hjerpe became just the second pitcher in Major League history to throw 4.0 or more perfect innings of relief in an MLB debut!

My heart is united with the suffering of the people of #Ukraine, who have lived in anguish and fear for years. I renew my appeal to put an end to the violence, halt the destruction, and open hearts to dialogue and #peace! I hope that the efforts undertaken in recent days to resume negotiations will bear concrete fruit and make room for diplomacy. Let us #PrayTogether to the Lord that concord may prevail in every conflict throughout the world.

On the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, I prayed for you, your personal intentions and world peace at St Anthony's Tomb. I'll remember you again later this morning during the Holy Mass I'll celebrate in the Basilica. Have a great Sunday. Blessings to you and your loved ones 🤗

[Friar Mario Conte @FriarMario]

Faith is not lived alone. Jesus teaches us to correct with love, forgive with patience, and seek reconciliation rather than division. When we gather in his name, he is among us, helping us rebuild what is broken and reminding us that love always seeks to bring people together.

A quiet moment at St Anthony’s Tomb, entrusting to him all those who have asked for my prayers. May St Anthony bring your intentions before the Lord and keep you and your loved ones close to his heart. 🙏❤️ Blessings from Padua.

The @Cardinals just Doug themselves out of the hole on the brim of defeat.

Unreal. This team is unbelievable. Hats off to Herrera.

[Barstool Sports @barstoolsports]

All time ump show in Colorado last night:

- Made the pitcher straighten his hat
- When the coach came out to argue, gave him a pitch clock violation
- Missed an easy call at home

On the Feast Day of St. Teresa of Calcutta, I prayed for you, your personal intentions, and world peace at St Anthony's Tomb. I’ll remember you again during the Holy Mass I’ll celebrate this afternoon in the Basilica. Peace and all good! Blessings to you and your loved ones 🤗

Trump’s tariffs were sold as leverage, deficit reduction, factory revival, national security, and revenue.⁣
⁣
By those benchmarks, the record is rough: the goods deficit hit a record in 2025, manufacturing jobs fell, and much of the tariff revenue was later refunded.⁣

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

I graded the tariffs on the five things the administration itself said they'd achieve: leverage, deficits, factories, security, revenue⁣
⁣
You can't grade on a curve here. We're failing.⁣
