The London Times reports that the Trump Administration has been deporting Russian dissenters who fled Vladimir Putin's authoritarian regime, sending them back to Russia, and even apparently helping Russian authorities persecute them: On August 27, less than a fortnight after President Trump's summit with Putin in Alaska, dozens of Russians were rounded up and deported. Among them was Artyom Vovchenko, 27, a deserter from the war in Ukraine. He is facing a prison sentence of up to decade or could be sent back to the front line. ... . Although the deportation of Russians to Russia has accelerated under Trump, the policy began under his predecessor Joe Biden. According to Dmitry Valuev, 46, president of Russian America for Democracy in Russia, an organisation that supports political refugees, deportations under Biden were smaller in number. read more

"From the viewpoint of American workers, there have been better Labor Days. Donald Trump chose to celebrate this year's edition by announcing last Thursday his unilateral abrogation of the federal government's contracts with the unions that represent the scientists, engineers, and other staffers at NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (which includes the National Weather Service), the Patent Office, and the International Trade Administration. This follows his earlier contract terminations with the unions that According to a study from the Center for American Progress (CAP), these Trump-imposed contract nullifications have cost 81.8 percent of civilian federal workers their right to collectively bargain"and that study came out before last Thursday's new round of government fuck-you's to its workers.


"In his latest Truth Social posts, he has warned that $15 trillion in new investment could be lost as a result of the court's actions and declared that, without his tariff program: "In many ways, we would become a Third World Nation, with no hope of GREATNESS again." His measures remain in place for now, however, and will stay in effect until October 14 to allow him to take his complaint to the U.S. Supreme Court. Here's a look at Trump's policy and the current state of play."

Republicans keep saying Obamacare is broke but the only reason it is that they won't renew the subsidies that make it affordable. In truth thfey hate "Obamacare" because of the nickname "Obamacare" they started calling the Affordable Care Act" out of their fear that it would become an important part of the Social Safety Net for Americans; which it has and the Democrats are refusing to just quietly let it die by helping to pass a bill to reopen the government that doesn't include the subsidies that make the Affordable Care Act" affordable for millions of Americans which is the Republican's sneaky plan to destroy the Act that millions of Americans depend on for healthcare! Every Senior Citizen on Medicare and Social Security should be supporting the Democrats right now on this fight because, make no mistake about it, if the Republicans win on this they WILL be coming after Medicare and Social Security next. Remember Trump saying he's going after all the "Democrats programs?" Medicare are both Democratic programs and his goal is to kill them before he leaves office so he can steal the SS trust fund to pay for the tax cuts he is giving his billionaire buddies! This is not just a battle about the ACA or "Obamacare" this is about much more! Every Senior Citizen on SS and Medicare should be involved in this fight, and their families too! This is a Class War and the enemy of the people has control of all three branches of government, at least until after the midterm elections so you can expect that they will fight with every tool they have to gut the Social Safetey Net that "We the People" pay for ourselves.
