For context: the Joint Economic Committee (JEC) said the debt reached $38.019 trillion, and that it added $1 trillion in about two months. Link: www.jec.senate.gov/public/index...

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.

Live music for Mar-a-Lago guests. Just a reminder that Trump has cut federal funding for music education programs for schools.

The same guy who "doesn’t want to hear about affordability" posted about his new marble bathroom 7 times last week.

The Constitution protects the right to free speech and the right to peacefully assemble. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/06/o...

Go, Oregon! I hope other states will follow suit.

Good morning from Chicago's federal courthouse. Inside, Judge Sara Ellis listens to preliminary issues in today's hearing on an injunction against federal immigration agents' violent behavior. Outside, the IL Coalition for Immigrant & Refugee Rights has organized a rally against the same behavior.

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

First I've read of the fact that 1800 people are missing! Please help get this out there and ask your reps to investigate.

They reported on this tonight on NPR. Please contact your senators. When you contact them also ask them to sponsor food drives through all of their offices.

A reminder that in 2018 Elon Musk, when he was a mere babe in the billionaire woods, paid $0 federal income tax. Obviously that'll change as he goes from obscenely rich to unfathomably wealthy, right?

The GOP is not a political party – it's an organized crime syndicate.

#Passports This is a horrible ruling from the Shadow Demons. Trans people are not currently nor have they ever been a problem in this or any other country. They deserve the exact same rights as any other American. Intersex people have always existed and have no legal rights. SHAME SHAME SHAME

They had better do it. My heart breaks right now for all of the people going without food. This should not be happening.

Quit Amazon and all of their affiliates now! They have already started replacing workers with robots. Their goal is to replace half a million workers with robots. Their reason? Humans are inefficient and cutting into their bottom line. But they need humans to buy their products so stop buying them!

If you missed Jodi Miskell's article yesterday interviewing two deafblind activists about the Dept. of Ed. cuts to deafblind education centers, check it out today! the-word.news/2025/1104/de...

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95.8 million in 2024. The median barista made just $14,674. That's a 6,666-to-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio. The largest of all S&P 500 companies. Every single worker should walk out. Americans deserve a livable wage. Enough!

More of this and we should all be doing it on the daily. Call it like it is. DO YOUR DAMN JOBS!

Rep. Chrissy Houlahan from PA calls Mike Do Nothing Bag-O-Wind Johnson to the carpet for disrespecting the American people and refusing to do his job. She is then almost removed by a police officer.

Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson: We are in a critical moment right now, y'all. So I need you to take this call to action seriously. Make sure your Senator knows that you want ACA healthcare credits extended and an end to the shutdown, not one or the other.

Show this to anyone you know who supports him and ask them to explain why he wants to deny their right to vote. And has he ever bought gas or groceries? I sincerely doubt that.

Every time one anti-vaxxer is quoted in the media, one million scientists and healthcare workers should also be quoted in support of vaccines. False equivalence in the media is killing us.

ICE & DHS are doing everything they are describing?? www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

Share with everyone you know. We must expose them. Do not look away.

Share and keep sharing every single one of these.

Please make sure this violent act gets more views. This is what it looks like in an authoritarian country. No one is safe. That's the way they want us to feel. This is all deliberate. They hit your car, they're going to drag you out of your car by your feet and arrest you.

LATEST: An ICE agent in the Chicago area for "Operation Midway Blitz" has been charged with DUI after leaving his shift at the Broadview facility. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/05/i...

After the blitz took off, we published an investigation of the horrid conditions inside the Broadview ICE facility. Yesterday, a hearing over those conditions took place after Illinois advocates filed a class-action lawsuit against immigration officials. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/04/b...

This alone should mean a change in policy to disallow masking and covering badges. But in an authoritarian government they don't care about public safety.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Make sure this one gets around. Remind me why Hogsbreath still has his job?

Protestors deserve to be assaulted b/c they are standing in the wrong place. They also deserve to be assaulted when they turn down the wrong street & are scared b/c masked men w/ guns are shouting at them. Or if they show any fear at all & don't jump to it (see where this is going) they deserve it.

Please read this thread in its entirety.

NEW: Judge Gettleman just ordered ICE to improve "serious conditions" inside its Broadview facility in Chicago. Yesterday, people testified in court that they were crammed into overcrowded and filthy cells for days, with little access to lawyers, and pressured into deportation.

Your taxpayer funded, fully paid, unauthorized vacation is over, Mike Johnson and Rump sycophants. Bring back the Congress, open the damn government, restore SNAP, restore the healthcare subsidies and swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva. Do your jobs or resign.

Mississippi Democrats look set to flip a third seat in the Legislature in tonight's special elections. With 95% of the vote in, Democrat Justin Crosby leads Republican incumbent Sen. Jon Lancaster for House District 22 by a 53%-47% margin.

Landslide. Clean sweep. Whatever you want to call it, all TEN of our endorsed women in Virginia flipped seats tonight. Women are at the center of the fight to take back power.

The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line. 1/

Thank you, Cincinnati!

BREAKING: Leslie Mehta just FLIPPED Virginia’s HD-73! She’s ready to be a strong champion for Virginians on issues like expanding access to affordable health care and uplifting working families through tax reform and higher wages.

Wow, this is VERY significant!

Don't let this one get swept under the rug with the Epstein files.

Democrats are on track to win 64 of Virginia's 100 House seats. That'd be THIRTEEN flips; the chamber is 51/49 right now.
