On the eve of her retirement, I want to make sure to honor @pelosi.house.gov 1/

Under Biden, the IRS launched a program for people to file their taxes FOR FREE (finally!) Well, Trump ended it because TurboTax donated $1 million to him. This White House is just one big grift while the rest of us pay more for everything.

Like many Americans, Scott Adams had insurance problems. But unlike most people he has powerful friends on social media, and when he asked President Trump for help, he got the cancer drug he needed.

We kicked so much ass in the elections you guys! 🔥🔥🇺🇸🗳️ Now let’s ROAST ‘em 😂😂 🚨WATCH🚨

We’re in Day 36 of the government shutdown and ICE has said they are not taking visits from Members of Congress. My constituent, Yari, is sick with leukemia and we are not getting answers. After some insisting, I was let in and I was with her for two hours. Full recap soon.

It feels like Charlie Brown finally kicked the football

Spread this far and wide... and keep people Awake!

OBAMA: “Is the economy working better for you? Because it sure has gotten better for Trump & his family… his billionaire friends, finance bros, well-connected corporations have seen their tax bill go down… But for ordinary families, costs have gone UP."

Throwing queer people under the bus--8% of electorate in '24 in which 85% voted for Harris--is politically stupid in addition to being bigoted. www.advocate.com/voices/democ...

The truth is that health insurance costs are about to DOUBLE for millions of Americans. That’s a HUGE issue. It doesn’t have to be this way. Democrats have a plan to keep these costs down. Republicans need to get on board.

Obama: "The economy has been really good for some of Trump's billionaire friends. It's been good for some finance bros and well-connected corporations who have seen their tax bill go down. But for ordinary families, costs have not gone down, they've gone up."

Reminder: November 4th is extremely important, don’t forget to vote!

Is anyone else feeing exactly the same way Governor Newsom is feeling? It’s painful. We must do more to stop the MAGA purge!

We’re better than fear. We’re braver than billionaires. We’re bigger than ever. And we’re gonna win. #NoKings

DAILY DEMS DOING THE WORK, MAKING NOISE, AND FIGHTING BACK Day 271 I think there are some valid criticisms, and I feel like I don’t show that enough. That said, sometimes you’re also just not the audience for one post, but you are for another. 1/2

NEWS: U.S. House Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Mississippi, is demanding that mega corporations answer for their part in Trump's demolition of the East Wing. He sent demand letters to Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Google, HP, Meta & more. Read the letter here: www.mississippifreepress.org/wp-content/u...

Tish James is an American hero.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

What are YOUR reasons for protesting? There are so many! JOIN US: No Kings Southeast CT in New London! 10/18 10am-12pm Parade Plaza 2 Bank Street www.mobilize.us/dashboard/no... Note: we are in the process of changing the title of the event to “New London” #Connecticut #NewLondon #Indivisible

The Republican party is more concerned with appeasing Trump's ego than with serving the American people. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown is a clear demonstration of their priorities: self-interest over the public good. social.demcast.com/s/dD2MklQj

The Billionaires Have Been Sucking the Rest of Us Dry Since 1989—And It’s Worse Than You Think The 905 billionaires in the U.S. hold a combined $7.8 trillion in wealth, giving those at the very top political influence and power that undermines our democracy while working people scrape to get by.

Speaker Johnson is stalling to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Journalist Mario Guevara is being deported because the American government punishes reporters to protect its own power. We should all be outraged. freedom.press/issues/mario...

Every American should be alarmed that Pres. Trump has decided he can wage secret wars against anyone he labels an enemy. Drug cartels must be stopped, but declaring war & ordering lethal military force without Congress or public knowledge - nor legal justification - is unacceptable.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats. Version of original on left, updated on right:

Bernie is right: the Republicans cannot be allowed to axe healthcare for 15 million people and double the premiums of 20 million more to give tax cuts to billionaires.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown
