People screaming for the very old to retire & make room for younger leaders. She does & gets critized by the angry & Johnson makes up a story about it. This is the definition of a "can't win" scenario.

NEW: Foreign food safety inspections have hit a historic low after Trump staffing cuts. The dramatic shift in oversight comes as the U.S. has never been more reliant on foreign food. “It’s only a matter of time before people die,” one expert said.

This is what a New Era looks like.

Gorsuch finally starting to understand what they have unleashed

Newsom’s social media team is on a level we’ve never seen before

@durbin.senate.gov @baldwin.senate.gov ffs. Do not cave. Wake up. Look around. Read the room. Don’t do it. Don’t talk about it. Don’t think about it. Grow a spine or get out.

If Senate Dems see this, and are still considering caving, I don’t even know what we’re doing any more. Trump continues to openly defy the courts and break the law. You can’t make a handshake deal with someone like that. It’s just not how it works.

as we watch results roll in, senate dems are considering caving to Trump is exchange for...fuck all, literally nothing. if they do so, my health care premiums would go up 50%, everyone's health insurance would be locked into a death spiral, and the health care delivery system would collapse.

Senate Dems, please don't kill the buzz by caving on the shutdown. The American people sent a loud and clear message tonight. You're winning.

WOW. A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."

Condé Nast finally achieved its dream of wrecking Teen Vogue and killing its politics section. www.thecut.com/article/teen...

mamdani is the model for future dem candidates and it can work in all 50 states. not the boring milquetoast candidates who refuse to take a position on hot button issues. they inspire nobody but dnc ad makers.

A lot of people get into law enforcement because they are emotionally incontinent and it’s a great opportunity to piss over everyone, violence-and-threatswise

$5M in Shein stock is crazy. to put it in perspective, a child would have to work three billion hours in a Shein factory to earn a 1/10000th of this

you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

Mamdani is not a radical. He has run a tight, smart, fairly standard local campaign. He'll probably get 20 or 30 percent of his platform if he's lucky. The one radical thing he's done is told the Times to go to hell. He has campaigned every step of the way like he doesn't need them, and he's right.

If you blame migrants collectively for the horrible actions of a few but do not hold white people collectively responsible when white people commit heinous crimes, that's racism. Just saying.

LAPD, the OG Gestapo.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

This is not the first time @govpritzker.illinois.gov has allowed his state police to act this way- The Gov talks tough about Trump in pressers for photo op & presidential run & then lets his troopers run roughshod over peaceful protesters- A few days ago they were worse than ICE in treatment

“Permanent Standard Time gives your body a healthier rhythm. Energy, metabolism, and immune system stay more synchronized, lowering risks of chronic conditions.”

Before this year, could you ever have envisioned that the United States Navy would have a fleet of ships positioned in the Caribbean, & not respond immediately to aid Jamaica after the devastating hurricane ?

Shoud we be worried that Mark Zuckerberg built a multimillion dollar bunker in Hawaii. That Tr*mp is fortifying the White House bunker. And that several Tr*mp regime members moved onto military bases?

WTF. Everyone, cameras out. Get it all on video.

If you delete the SNAP contingency fund language from the USDA site, what you’re really saying is that you know that you could feed people and you’d rather not.

Definitely yes! 👍🏻

“This language from the Vice President betrays so much of the promise we have as a nation.”

FACTS about SNAP: -35% to white people (largest share) -90% to people born in 🇺🇸 -86% to households with kids -70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

ICE: thug trash.

Maybe they’re just looking for a heart.

welcome to America, where the idea that kids should have food gets you labeled some kind of communist

If you are wondering whether the U.S. military will kill civilians, the generals would say no are quitting. What does that leave?

I continue to sincerely want the term “Kavanaugh Stop” to be a badge of shame for the rest of Brett Kavanaugh’s days; the only bit of writing he’s known or remembered for; his sole contribution to the Law; for him to perceive, in little stabs of self-awareness, that this will be his rancid legacy.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

This criminal administration is going to be remembered as a horrible chapter and cautionary tale in US history. So great to see the endless videos of people not accepting this bullshit substack.com/@thedangerou...

Nothing new, just an ICE agent assaulting someone in the middle of the street for no GD reason. 1/2

Motorheads at IL Policy are at it again! New op-ed against transit funding, arguing proposed fees on car-based transpo are unfair to suburbanites, although they'll save CTA/Pace/Metra (which they use!). Rebuttal: chi.streetsblog.org/2025/10/20/r... @chicagocta.bsky.social @betterstreetschicago.org

If a democratic Speaker had refused to call the House into session for OVER A MONTH there would be wall to wall coverage on all networks. What the fuck is wrong with our media

ICE really likes shooting members of the cloth. This was also in Alameda. So in addition to the shooting of the U-HAUL truck driver, the shooting that also hit a protester.

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

In Chicago, an ICE Goon violently shoved a woman to the ground near a moving van.

Communities are being gassed despite having a restraining order Chicago

www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMxUDtwP/ It looks like mRNA vaccines don’t just save lives from viruses. They have other benefits against cancers, dementia and heart disease. Not that I needed another reason to believe science and not a bunch of internet quacks, but here’s another one.

"That's the standard technique of privatization: defund, make sure things don't work, people get angry, you hand it over to private capital." Noam Chomsky

This is located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, close to Fullerton and Sheffield. It's a densely populated area near DePaul University. I'm pleased to see the community standing up against these despicable individuals.
