There is no place for political violence in our country. I’m grateful that Amy Acton is safe and thankful for the law enforcement officers who acted swiftly today. Attacks like this cannot just be the price you pay for running for office. This must never become normal.

Dolly Parton logged a combined total of 115 years of union membership. Throughout her working life, the “9 to 5” singer/songwriter carried the union cards of two major unions: The American Federation of Musicians Local 257 in Nashville — for 58 years. SAG-AFTRA — for 57 years. HAPPY LABOR DAY!

I met a grandmother in Houston. Augusta works 10-hour shifts at the airport, but her wages don’t cover her basic expenses. Now she and her 5-year-old grandson are facing eviction. In the United States Senate, we’re going to have Augusta’s back.

Julie Kavner (born today in 1950) first gained notice as a scene-stealing co-star on the CBS sitcom Rhoda in the mid-1970s. In the late 1980s, she was cast on the famed Tracey Ullman Show on Fox. Kavner is likely best known for her decades on The Simpsons as the unmistakable voice of Marge Simpson.

Newsom: "He's not screwing around. He wasn't screwing around when he called Greg Abbott for 5 seats, said he was entitled to 5 seats. Why does he do that? Because he knows he's going to lose the election unless he rigs the election before one vote is cast. That is what we're up against."

I’ve been a member of five labor unions in my life. I’ve seen firsthand what working people can accomplish when we stand together. The rights and protections workers have today weren’t handed to us. Generations of workers and organizers fought for them, stood their ground, & refused to back down.

President Trump appeared to suggest that New Mexico should be renamed “New America,” prompting backlash from the state’s Democratic leaders over his latest effort to alter geographic names. Trump has no legal authority to rename any state, which in New Mexico’s case is written into its Constitution.

Trump: The leaks are untrue but the leakers should be locked up 🤔
The U.S. has massive amounts of “munitions,” especially of certain types. Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the U.S. as needed. Defense companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country’s history. The “leakers” of these treasonous statements are being hunted down. Long term jail sentences will be sought! President DJT
