Canada has a message for America this Labor Day: “Vote.” Brilliant...


“The arrangement was described by three former employees ... who said that workers would receive bonuses if they donated to candidates [DeJoy] supported...” This is very illegal. Last month @RepJeffries & I requested @FBI to investigate DeJoy. We expect the FBI to do their dut


An investigation is underway after surveillance video captured bags of mail being dumped in a parking lot in the Los Angeles area


WTAF just flew out of Trump's nose? His mouth? The dude is a hot mess.


Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi: "Given all the very troubling accusations in regards to Mr. DeJoy, I think that he should resign or be replaced."


Sharing deceptively edited media is handing tRUmp & Co a major victory they’ll use to delegitimize real news and obfuscate when their side does the same thing. YOU are important in the fight against online disinformation. Use caution when amplifying content online.


My future Madam President, @KamalaHarris. You are looking at Vladimir Putin’s worst nightmare. The shining star of the Senate Intelligence Committee. The leader of the #NatSecLeft. The candidate whom Russia attacked most during the early primaries, at that time, more than Biden.


“Biden’s a stupid person, you know that,” Trump says at the WH, a taxpayer-funded event he’s turned into a campaign event


For years, President Trump and Republicans have waged a war on America's labor unions. It will end on my watch. I'll sign the PRO Act — making it easier for workers to organize and collectively bargain — and be the strongest labor president workers have ever had.

Trump says he would support an investigation into Postmaster General DeJoy and says he just saw the Post story over his reimbursements to employee donations to GOP. “I don’t know too much about it - I read something about it.

Kamala Harris arrives in Milwaukee for meetings this afternoon in her black hightop Chuck Taylor Converse LIKE A BOSS.

Donald Trump didn't create jobs, people just went back to work — but not nearly enough. We're still at a deficit from 2016.


Deep cleans and disinfecting mists might not keep us from getting the virus, but they sure make us feel better


You didn't create 10 million jobs. You are lying. Get on a plane and flee the country while you still can.


Happy Labor Day!


The Grand High Muftis of GOP are freaking out over Donald's "suckers and losers" insult so they're dragging up every soiled, disgraced, slovenly dingbat they've ever employed to lay down a deafening cover fire about "sources". It isn't working. Our military is (rightly) furious.

Asked if Barr was lying, Schiff said: “That is basically what he is doing. And I hesitate to say that, but it is the reality.” “Apparently Bill Barr is ready to do anything or say anything to help Donald Trump.”


This is big. We discovered President Trump just got ANOTHER trademark to do business in a foreign country.
