[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

The most pressing issue of our time is oligarchy & the power of Big Tech billionaires over AI.

We can’t allow a handful of greedy people to play God & determine the future of humanity—our economy, environment, democracy, privacy & more—without public input.

CONGRESS MUST ACT.

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

On Labor Day let's remember the men & women who wake up before the sun and work through the heat, rain and more to put food on our tables. Their work deserves fair wages, safe working conditions, dignity and a voice on the job. This #LaborDay stand with farm workers. #WeFeedYou

@BianchiWeather Was this the storm that put out the wildfire raging to the west of Fort Collins?

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Over the last 50 years, $79 trillion has been transferred from the bottom 90% to the top 1%.

CEOs now make 350 times more than their average workers, while 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

We can and must create an economy that works for all, not just the 1%.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Trump posted over 100 times over the long weekend, including AI slop videos touting his supposed greatness, proposing to rename New Mexico, and a map claiming the entire Western Hemisphere as the U.S.

Has he lost his mind for good?

The answer to one of my favorite trivia questions:
Who scored the walk off Stanley Cup clinching GWG for the Avs in the 1996 Stanley Cup Finals?

Imagine having a bold leader who stands up to Putin!
Must be awesome.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel.

This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide.

I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

On peut le dire clairement maintenant : nous nous dirigeons vers l’un des événements thermiques les plus spectaculaires jamais observés en France tout mois confondus, totalement hors du champ statistique de ce qui a été connu jusqu’à présent en mai. C’est absolument délirant :
➡️Le record national de chaleur pour un mois de mai pourrait être battu, avec plus de 36-37°C attendus en France pendant PLUSIEURS JOURS.
➡️Les 35°C pourraient remonter jusqu’à la moitié nord du pays, tandis que la Bretagne vivrait une situation totalement hors normes (il ne serait pas étonnant d'y approcher les 34°C !!). Nous sommes à +15°C au-dessus des normes sur la façade Atlantique !
➡️Lundi, mardi et mercredi pourraient devenir, de très loin, les journées les plus chaudes jamais observées en France en mai, avec plus de 30°C sur la quasi-totalité du territoire.
➡️Des records mensuels pourraient tomber plusieurs jours de suite, y compris sur des stations centenaires, tant l’épisode s’annonce intense et durable : jusqu’à 10 jours possibles.
➡️On est vraiment à la limite des seuils de canicules et de vague de chaleur : nous sommes en mai, au printemps !

Memorial Day food staple prices are up an average of 13%.

Americans will spend $2B more on gas over the holiday weekend due to the highest gas prices in nearly four years.

Domestic plane tickets are 31% more expensive than in January.

Welcome to Trump’s “New Golden Age.”

[FactPost @factpostnews]

@MadelnCanada 2 Obviously!

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Morning everyone.

Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws?

You are subject to the law. Now he is not.

No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Let us reject the logic of violence and war, and embrace peace founded on love and justice—an unarmed peace, not based on fear, threats or weapons. This peace is disarming, because it is capable of resolving conflicts, opening hearts, and generating trust, empathy, and hope. I strongly reiterate: The world thirsts for #Peace! Enough of war and all the pain it causes through death, destruction, and exile! #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon

More Wilson: “If he wants to come back and play, and (take) another shot at it, he’s gonna do that, and we’re going to go for it. If he decides this is it, every single guy will support him and it’ll be one of the most legendary careers the ever happened.” #ALLCAPS

@JohnnyF01559876 @Teamsters @TeamsterSOB I don't think he endorsed Trump. He was invited to the RNC and he spoke at that convention.

[Ben See @ClimateBen]

The Arctic Ocean is fully expected to experience ice free summers by around 2038 [2026-49] implying catastrophic consequences for 15-40% or more of Earth's species.

[Thomas Reis @peakaustria]

The average baby born in the U.S. will consume 3 million pounds of metals and minerals over its lifetime. Meadow's (1972) limits to growth is right on schedule according to the latest runs of their model, a shame we will consume the earth until Mother Nature stops us, but maybe that's the nature of life on earth, we're just ants who found a pile of sugar and mindlessly consuming it to the last grain, unable to plan for more than the NOW Via Alice Friedemann
