Police say ‘extremist network’ may have influenced Colorado high school shooter
Police say ‘extremist network’ may have influenced Colorado high school shooter
The gunman behind this week’s school shooting in Colorado was “radicalized by an extremist network,” authorities in Jefferson County said Thursday.
The statement from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office didn’t get into details about how a white 16-year-old named Desmond Holly was radicalized before he shot and wounded two students at Evergreen High School and then later died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
But local media outlets have looked over social media accounts that appear to be Holly’s that suggest he showed interest in Nazism, holocaust denial, white supremacy and previous school shootings, including the 1999 massacre in nearby Columbine.

What Do We Say When the Soldiers Come?
Appeals to Guard member’s sense of ethics and morality can go a long way.
- Reminding folks of the moral bankruptcy of Trump.
- The promise of acquiring honor and proud leadership by “defending their country” is a draw for many Guard members. Recruiters prey on this sense of duty in young people.
- Reminding them that real leadership and honor comes in advancing opportunities for immigrants and those who are newly arrived in the country, not suppressing these opportunities through fear and terror like Trump is hoping they will.
Medicare for All Would Save $650 Billion Annually
With Premiums Set to Rise, a Reminder:
‘Medicare for All Would Save $650 Billion’ Annually
As The Washington Post reported on Friday, the cost of health insurance is “on track for their biggest jump in at least five years” thanks in part to the actions of congressional Republicans and President Donald Trump.
Citing new research from KFF, the Post noted that most people who buy insurance through the Affordable Care Act are set to see their premiums rise by over 75% unless Congress steps in and renews enhanced subsidies that had been passed into law under the American Rescue Plan in 2021.
“Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years,” commented former US Labor Secretary Robert Reich. “Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year. Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?”
“our daily reminder:
Medicare for All would:
- save $650 billion and
- 68,000 lives each and every year
- while providing comprehensive healthcare to every man, woman, and child with no premiums, no deductibles, and no co-payments.
Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Is Part of a Trend: Spiking Gun Violence in Red States
Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Is Part of a Trend:
Spiking Gun Violence in Red States
It’s not Washington or Chicago but Republican-run, reliably right-wing states that lead the nation in gun violence rates.
Despite rhetoric painting liberal big cities as lawless war zones, the most dangerous places in America in terms of gun violence are often deep-red states and rural towns.
Federal health data reveal that states with conservative leadership consistently have higher firearm death rates than their blue-state counterparts.
In 2021, eight of the 10 states with the highest gun death rates per capita were won by Trump in the 2020 election. Mississippi — with a staggering 33.9 per 100,000 firearm death rate, the worst in the nation — voted solidly Republican. By contrast, states with the lowest gun death rates — like Massachusetts, at 3.4 per 100,000 — reliably vote Democratic.
This pattern holds nationwide. Public health research confirms that states in the South and Mountain West with weaker gun laws and higher gun ownership have the highest gun death rates, whereas Northeast states with strong gun safety laws see far fewer deaths.
In other words, the “gun-friendly” policies of red America correlate with more funerals and grieving families, year after year.
Crucially, this gap isn’t just about suicides in isolated areas; it extends to violent crime and murders as well. A recent analysis of homicide data found that the murder rate in Republican-voting states — such as Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama — was 33 percent higher than in Democratic-voting states in both 2021 and 2022.
Even when researchers control for big urban centers, the red-state murder problem persists. Remove the largest city from every red state, and their homicide rate still far exceeds that of blue states.
The notion that “Democrat-run cities” alone drive violence collapses under scrutiny. People are statistically safer in New York City or San Francisco than in many rural or Southern Republican-led states.
The Trump administration’s response to violence has instead been to:
- Meanwhile, Trump and the GOP are hobbling the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives by leaving it without a leader;
- This year, the Trump administration shut down the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention and slashed $158 million in gun violence prevention grants.

As US edges closer to stagflation, economists blame Trump policies
As US edges closer to stagflation, economists blame Trump policies
Recent data shows stagflation, stagnant growth and price inflation, is possible as economy shaken by uncertainty
Stagflation is the term that describes “stagnant” growth combined with “inflation” of prices. It means that companies are producing and hiring less, but prices are still going up. It’s a scenario that some economists say can be worse than a recession.
in August, it became clear that there had been an impact on hiring that had been slow to appear in the data. Initial job figures for May and June were revised down by 258,000. While figures in July and August were slightly stronger, it was still a marked drop compared with earlier in the year.
Meanwhile, inflation started crawling back up in April. In August, the annualized inflation rate hit 2.9%, the highest since January.
In other words, the economy has both become more stagnant and inflationary – stagflation.
“If [stagflation] happens, it’s a very depressive situation because people are going to lose their jobs, unemployment is going to increase and people who are looking for jobs are going to have a very hard time finding jobs. That’s going to be the hard part,” Kalemli-Ozcan said.
The Yale Budget Lab estimated that Trump’s tariffs could increase the number of Americans living in poverty by at least 650,000 as tariffs become what the lab calls an “indirect tax”.

trumpty Attacking Black-Led Cities
Trump just announced that he will be sending the National Guard to Memphis next, continuing the attack on Black America that started with deployments to the streets of Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. — And the threat remains of further federal takeovers of other Black-led cities like Chicago and New Orleans.
We’ve seen ICE conduct immigration raids across the country that indiscriminately target people by the color of their skin — after Trump’s disastrous budget bill allocated $75 billion in additional funding to the agency, making it the nation’s highest-funded law enforcement agency and largest domestic police force. One that seeks to establish a permanent surveillance state and answers only to him.
Trump won’t stop with Black-led cities or immigrants. These attacks against our communities are not isolated campaigns of terror. This is a dress rehearsal for authoritarian overreach — a deliberate test of the public’s limits to dictatorial dominance that he seeks to expand to every Democratic-led city and every marginalized group.
The increasing militarization of police and escalations of hyper-surveillance, detention and racial profiling endanger us all. We must stand together to show this administration that the American people will oppose him at every step.
Big, Ugly Bill Destroys Healthcare...and Here It Comes
Millions of Americans are about to get hit with a health care price hike they can’t afford. If Congress doesn’t extend the expanded Affordable Care Act premium tax credits before the end of the year, health insurance premiums could jump by 20% or more starting in 2026. Some plans are already projecting increases as high as 23.6%.
These tax credits help over 20 million people afford coverage through the ACA Marketplace. If they expire, the damage will be immediate. Families could see annual premium increases of $11,000 or more. More than 4 million people could lose their coverage entirely.
Health insurance companies are already preparing for the worst. Out of the 325 insurers on the federal ACA marketplace, 125 have requested premium hikes above the 20% national average. They are doing this because they assume Congress will let the credits expire. And unless lawmakers hear from us, they might be right.
This doesn’t just hit individuals. It threatens the stability of the entire health care system. If healthier people are priced out of the market, costs will rise even more for everyone else.
The only winners here are the insurance companies and the ultra-wealthy,
who just got another round of tax breaks.

ICE Calls Off Raid After Being Overwhelmed By Protesters
ICE Calls Off Raid After Being Overwhelmed By Protesters
Federal agents with ICE decided to call off an immigration raid in upstate New York this week after they were overwhelmed by the protesters who showed up to shout at them.
There were no reports of violence whatsoever, but ICE agents couldn’t stand the thought of being yelled at so they decided to just go away instead.
This is what happens when people actually get out and let their voices be heard, and the 100 people who showed up to protest may have saved lives that day.
trumpty's Reckless Rhetoric, Stolen Valor & Cowardice
Trump CRUMBLES as He BEGS for EMERGENCY POWERS
Ken Harbaugh speaks with Senator Tammy Duckworth, a decorated combat veteran now representing Illinois in the U.S. Senate, about Donald Trump’s reckless rhetoric declaring “war” on Chicago.
Duckworth also calls out Trump’s stolen valor and cowardice for dodging military service, contrasting it with the sacrifices of those who actually served.

Boycott T-Mobile
T-Mobile is funding Musk's assault on democracy, and that's just the start of the company's embrace of the Trump regime and anti-worker behavior.
T-Mobile:
- Canceled its DEI commitments to win Trump approval for two acquisitions
- Signed on to provide the cellular network for Trump Mobile
- Has engaged in a long history of union busting
- Lobbied for Trump's billionaires-first budget that will strip healthcare from more than 13 million Americans
On Tuesday, activists in Seattle went to T-Mobile's corporate headquarters to deliver our petition calling on the company to cut ties with Elon Musk's Starlink.
T-Mobile security told activists someone from the company would come speak with us. Instead, they called the cops.
T-Mobile wouldn't even send a company representative to meet with our activists or accept the petitions. And when corporate security finally came to throw us out, the head of corporate security told us T-Mobile doesn't care about the 20,000+ petition signatures, including the 5,000 T-Mobile subscribers who signed.
There is NO Justification for Political Violence
There is no justification in America for political violence
It's important that all of us renew our condemnation of political violence.
The attack today on Charlie Kirk was reprehensible. Such violence must never be allowed in America.
We will always have political disagreements — disagreements are the hallmark of a vibrant democracy — but we must disagree peacefully and lawfully.
We cannot and must not respond to disagreements violently.
A Message of Love in Response to Violence
We just witnessed the assassination of Charlie Kirk today. The killing of a nonprofit leader is the dangerous next step in a long history of political violence of leaders and public figures on both the left and right.
Political violence is contagious. It spreads. It does not stay confined to one side of the aisle or one belief system. It should terrify us all.
When someone is killed on the left, blame is directed at the right. When someone is killed on the right, blame circles back to the left. In both cases, a black and white picture is attempted to be painted, filled with attempts to justify the violence by highlighting the worst things the victim may have said or done. Compassion is withdrawn. Humanity is erased. And the cycle deepens.
This tit-for-tat logic erodes our shared humanity. It entrenches fear, blame, and aggression. It makes space for more violence. And every time, our collective ability to live free of fear grows weaker.
We will not honor violence by excusing it, nor will we dishonor ourselves by calling for it or celebrating it. Our refusal to celebrate political violence in any form is not an endorsement of anyone’s politics. Charlie Kirk was not a friend to us, but he is a human being. We rise above hate in all forms as a commitment to life, to accountability, to compassion, and to the belief that no one should face a death sentence for their ideals.
The foundation of a free society is not agreement, it is the ability to participate without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack on us all.
We call on leaders across movements, across ideologies, across organizations to join us in condemning this killing and reject retributive violence across the political spectrum.
We refuse to feed the spiral. We choose another way forward.

Two Evil Men in the Regime
Who’s the Worst of the Worst in Trumpworld?
2. Stephen Miller. The major architect of Trump’s push to eliminate undocumented immigrants from America, Miller has also emerged as a key enforcer of the federal occupation of Washington, D.C., since Trump federalized the local police department and deployed thousands of National Guard troops to patrol city streets.
Miller persuaded congressional Republicans to expand ICE’s budget by $30 billion (making ICE the largest paramilitary force on American soil) as part of Miller’s plan to deport 1 million immigrants each year, confine them to detention camps, or send them to other countries — even without full hearings on whether they were in the U.S. legally.
Miller is also behind Trump’s planned moves to “crack down” on crime in Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Baltimore, and Oakland, California. He recently called the Democratic Party a “domestic, extremist organization” for its alleged failure to deal with crime. “I would say to the mayors of all these Democrat cities, like Chicago, what you are doing to your own citizens is evil. Subjecting your own citizens to this constant bloodbath and then rejoicing in it is evil,” Miller said on Fox News last week. “You should praise God every single day that President Trump is in the White House.”
3. Russell Vought. White House budget chief Russell Vought is the mastermind behind the Trump efforts to usurp Congress’s authority over spending.
Last week Vought claimed to be following the law despite illegally withholding an estimated $410 billion of congressionally approved cash from low-income housing services, education assistance, medical research grants, and other programs approved by Congress.
“If Congress has given us authority that is too broad, then we’re going to use that authority aggressively to protect the American people,” Vought said to attendees at the National Conservatism Conference.
Vought — the lead writer of “Project 2025” — also laid out his case for strengthening the executive branch over the “woke and weaponized bureaucracy” by using a maneuver called the “pocket rescission” to unilaterally claw back funding Congress already appropriated without needing lawmakers to sign off. The White House recently transmitted a pocket rescission package that will delete $5 billion in foreign aid — a move Democrats, some Republicans, and the Government Accountability Office have said is against the law.
trumpty Goes After Most Medically Vulnerable Children
The Oregonian Morning Briefing September 10
The Trump administration has yanked a yearslong grant for a program that serves 110 of Oregon’s most medically vulnerable children, citing an unrelated plan by the program’s fiscal agent, Portland Public Schools, to open a Center for Black Student Excellence.
The notification that the grant for the Oregon DeafBlind Project would be immediately discontinued was a shock, said Lisa McConachie, the initiative’s director. Work on initiatives like the Center for Black Student Excellence is unrelated to the focus of the Oregon DeafBlind Project, which trains educators who work with students with vision and hearing impairments and helps their families with resources, McConachie said.
