The New Gen Dems are ready to take the reigns

Senator #AOC has a nice ring to it — #Schumer & the old guard have had their day in the sun, but now it’s time to pass the torch

President Obama called Zohran Mamdani on Saturday — praising his campaign and offering to be a "sounding board" into the future. Obama said he was invested in Mamdani's success beyond the election on Tuesday. "Your campaign has been impressive to watch," Obama told Mamdani.

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net. In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:

Happy #Halloween 🎃

If you’re not familiar with “the brown shirts” of 1930’s Germany — just look to #Bovino, who is 💯 aware of the message he is sending

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

#Trump may have immunity from the Supreme Court, but nobody else does — something #ICE agents would do well to remember.

Longest U.S. Government Shutdowns 1. Donald Trump – 35 days – Dec 22, 2018 – Jan 25, 2019 2. Donald Trump – 27 days (ongoing) – Oct 1, 2025 – present

And what doesn't get mentioned in this piece: this will almost certainly push and promote more right-wing garbage into everyone's feed as a result.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house. Remove him from office.

Elon moves $133 million in crypto from SpaceX, and Trump accepts a $130 million donation. Hmmm… is Elon buying his spot back? Probably just an odd coincidence.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Trump’s latest target? The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, one of America’s last truly wild places. His administration just announced plans to open it up for oil and gas drilling, turning 1.56 million acres of pristine wilderness (home to polar bears, caribou, and migratory birds)

New Yorkers never disappoint #NYC

Mike Johnson is still delaying the swearing in of Adelita Grijalva to avoid a vote releasing the Epstein files. They can try to manufacture as many distractions as possible, but this might be the one thing the right and left are united on.

The survivor of a U.S. strike on a submersible vessel accused by the Trump administration of transporting drugs in the Caribbean was released by authorities in Ecuador after prosecutors said they had no evidence he committed a crime. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

One thing I try to unpack in the piece: The Trumpists launched an unhinged demonization campaign against “No Kings” – and then did nothing. So, they didn’t believe their own propaganda? Not the specifics, no. But they do believe that all protest is fundamentally illegitimate.

Here’s a list of companies to file complaints with and boycott for running ICE advertisements.

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings. These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate. Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

Mitch McConnell is still alive in case anyone else was surprised to see the video of him falling down—I mean I don’t know why I’m surprised, evil people tend to live far too long But I honestly forgot he was still kickin it

When Trump says he’s cutting “democratic programs”, he’s referring to the ACA, SNAP, Medicare, Medicaid, social security… His pitch to the base is, “I’m taking things you depend on because they were championed by people you don’t like…and giving you nothing from the people you do like.” Winning.
