I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

We won't give up until we get the Trump–Epstein files & we are driving forward in court! I'll join @ms.now's @theweekendmsnow.bsky.social to talk about @democracydefendersfund.org's work for transparency & to protect your rights & fight corruption open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

It costs nothing for you to share this. For every dollar you donate to your local food pantry you’ll be providing up to 10 meals to families in need this holiday season.

BREAKING: Pete Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, has appointed himself to prosecute the case against Trump and others in Fulton County. The move follows a court ruling that disqualified Fani Willis from pursuing the case.

Did you see that SDNY was investigating as recently as January? www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

Here is Reid Weingarten agreeing with Jeffrey Epstein that Mueller should just file "sealed indictments against jared ivanka and junior" in November 2017 my head is going to explode. cc: @muellershewrote.com drive.google.com/file/d/1z4-r...

Nixon had a gap in the tape recordings because of an alleged Rosemary Woods error; what is Halligan s excuse for a gap in the Comey grand jury recording? Very suspicious.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

NEW: EXCLUSIVE: I spoke to sources at FBI and DOJ that reviewed the Epstein files. It’s worse than the photos. I’ll let you know what they said today at 3:30 PM PT / 6:30 PM ET on @meidastouch.com. Link to show: www.youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...

Angelina Jolie used her Instagram platform to shed light on Russia’s so-called ‘human safari’ in Kherson. It is a deeply important and much-appreciated gesture.

This is HORRIFYING‼️

ICE is still being paid. Congress is still being paid. Private jets are still being bought. The White House is still being renovated. In the most prosperous country in the history of the world... This.👇

Appeals court rules Cannon must release the rest of Jack Smith’s report on Trump stealing government classified documents. “By suppressing the document she is undermining accountability and the law.” She has 60 days to release them. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory ##OneV1 www.rawstory.com/aileen-canno...

Just sayin.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Best 3 minutes you will spend on the internet today.

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026. If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it. So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.” Because that IS what they are going to say.

A must-read thread!!!

Trump is holding a Great Gatsby/Roaring 20s-themed party at his private club in Palm Beach tonight as he tries to withhold SNAP and health care subsidies from millions of Americans. (via Kellie Meyer)

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Please do *not* circulate this story that the NC GOP does not want circulated. Please, they have threatened you nicely, please.

This is, at least for me, a larger artwork, A4 size. It will make a great statement piece in your living room or a very special gift... folksy.com/find/item/85... #Landscape #Winter #Forest #OriginalArt #OilPastels #Painting #Artwork #ArtFromScotland #GiftIdeas #ArtShop #bsnm

We like presidents who don't starve kids while building themselves gold-plated ballrooms.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

The administration can legally continue SNAP using contingency funds, but refuses. This isn’t about budgets. It’s cruelty. Tag your Republican reps. Demand they reopen the government and fund SNAP now. Butler County deserves leaders who feed families.

Because of the Republican-led shutdown, SNAP benefits stop Nov 1. Veterans. Seniors. Kids. Working families. Millions could go hungry. Republicans are holding funds hostage to raise health premiums. They own this shutdown.

A visual representation of GOP and Democrat budgets. Each cup = $50 billion, and each color represents something different. A way to see how the federal government is spending and who it benefits. Now, which budget/policy benefits ALL Americans? #ProudBlue Video credit: sully_dawg/Tiktok

The President of the United States thinks a test for dementia is an IQ test, and none of his sycophants will tell him he’s wrong. Let that sink in.

Contact your local food bank and see how you can help.

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.” “SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.” ~Center for Budget and Policy

Everything is terrible, so let's focus on the great Misty Copeland and the sheer beauty of her final bow last night at the ABT. Sparkle on, Misty. We love you.

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

Head’s up on an account to block.

CHICAGO: “They took my son. He’s only 16. I just want my baby back.”

This is horrifying! 🥺

🔥 Way to go, Butler County! Over 1,500 of our neighbors showed up with powerful signs, creative costumes, and unstoppable energy for the #NoKings Day of Action! 💪🇺🇸 Together, we stood up for freedom, democracy, and the power of the people. When Butler Co. shows up, our democracy grows stronger. ✊💙

Cancel SPOTIFY. They are running ICE ads. F them. www.snopes.com/fact-check/s...

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed. THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

About Red States on #NoKings: Red State Dems often feel invisible. Unseen. But we are here. We’re doing the work. Often in hostile places. In the places nobody else dares to go. Despite gerrymanders, voter suppression, and without support. But we keep showing up. Don’t count us out. Count us in.

Today, Trump's trying to make us comfortable with masked agents on the streets. Tomorrow, Trump's looking to leverage this power, take advantage of our elections, and scare voters away. We must call this what it is: a power grab that echoes the rise of authoritarian regimes.

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 72 of the last 84 days. Epstein Shutdown.

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

(🧵1/25) On this date (Oct. 13) in 2022, a 15-yr-old boy shot 7 people, killing 5 (including his brother), before a shootout in which he and a deputy were wounded; the gunman’s father was cited for failing to store his guns (Raleigh, N.C.): 💔😡💔 #GunsDontMakeUsSafer en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Ra...

These policies will kill Americans! They ARE coming after us!

Cancer immunity in a shot. Scientists at the University of Florida have created a breakthrough mRNA cancer vaccine that erased deadly brain tumors in early human trials without chemo or radiation. It is now moving into Phase 1 pediatric trials.
