If you were young in 2001, or weren’t even born yet, it can be hard to imagine what 9/11 felt like. The shock of that beautiful, cloudless morning. The heartbreak of the families whose loved ones were taken with such swiftness and cruelty. The realization that the forces of malevolence and violence were closer, and the future less certain, than we knew.
But in the days that followed, we felt something else, too. Pride in the rescue workers who had rushed to the scene, and the passengers who had stormed the cockpit. Admiration for the men and women who left behind lives of comfort to serve their country. A deep resolve that nothing would break the will of a truly United States of America.
Today Michelle and I are remembering those we lost that day, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars that followed. We pray for their families. And we hope Americans everywhere remember the true lesson of 9/11: that we can survive even our darkest days as long as we move forward as one nation and one people.
I’m fed up and you should be too.
Trump’s breaking ground on his ridiculous “Arch de Trump” WITHOUT congressional authorization and BEFORE it’s been properly reviewed by a federal panel...which is ILLEGAL by the way.
Not to mention it’s an affront to a national resting place for 400,000 of our nation’s fallen.
Our veterans do not want this. Their families do not want this. We, the American people, do not want this.
All of this is ridiculous ego-stroking work, paid for by YOU.

Here’s basically what happened at the Republican Convention
1. Somebody yelled “SHOOT A CANDIDATE.” Ted Cruz @tedcruz stayed silent.
2. The President told the country to cheat.
3. The President Made everyone swear allegiance.
4. The President Said vote Republican or go to hell.
5. The President offered $5K if you voted Republican.
6. The VP said immigrants are making America dirty.
7. The VP Insinuated a candidate was a pedophile — no proof.
8. Ted Cruz condemned all Muslims.
Why do republicans get a pass on all this?
If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model.
Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.
The President of the United States posted an AI video of himself beating another world leader and a map of countries he wants to invade.
Yet the media and the Republican-controlled Congress are still operating like this is a sane individual.
Workers didn't win weekends, safer workplaces, better wages, or the 40-hour workweek because corporations decided to do the right thing. They won those rights by organizing and fighting together.
This Labor Day, we honor that history and keep fighting for working people.
Lots about Trump renaming New Mexico, New America. But people are too polite to point out Trump has no interest in renaming New England, New Hampshire, New Jersey, or New York. It's Mexico and Mexicans and Latinos he wants to taunt. It's idiocy, but it's also a dog whistle.
The Trump administration is giving military contracts to the drone companies owned by Trump’s sons.
The idea that anyone in this administration cares about corruption or conflicts of interest is laughable.
Women, the reason you can have a credit card in your own name and don’t need a man’s signature to open a bank account is because of Gloria Steinem. RIP to this queen.
Trump: Iran doesn't have any missiles and has been completely destroyed.
Also Trump: IRAN SHOT 8 MISSILES AT US!!!
How are you MAGAs are not embarrassed?
Yesterday: JD Vance claims Trump "doesn't make announcements of military actions on social media"
Today: Trump makes an announcement of military actions towards Iran on social media
They have every intention of rigging this election and trying to steal it
And these are the same people who spent a decade falsely claiming elections are rigged
It's the biggest, longest con in U.S. political history, and the whole country is its victim

Wanna know why 42% of cancer patients in America deplete their life savings within 2 years?
Well, maybe it has something to do with the greed of Big Pharma charging over $400,000 for new cancer drugs.
That’s insane. Getting cancer in America shouldn’t cause you to go bankrupt.
PabloReports: What do you make of Trump saying Americans who oppose data centers are backwards and poor?
AOC: I mean, how about we put one in Mar-a-Lago? I love that. Let’s put a data center at Mar-a-Lago, and we’ll see how backwards and poor he is in response to that.
🚨 BREAKING:
Kelly: "When Trump was bankrupting the Taj Mahal casino, I was taking fire over Iraq... When Trump was writing birthday wishes to Epstein, I was among the first to arrive at the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts... When Trump was pushing conspiracy theories against President Obama, I was sitting beside my wife's hospital bed... I've been through far worse in service to my country. The president and Pete Hegseth will not silence me."
There is something SERIOUSLY wrong when the President "jokes around," posting AI slop of a major bombing run on Kharg Island.
Is war funny now?
Is the president a f*cking child?
Why aren't Republicans concerned about this? The WORLD is watching.
