@democracynow.org had @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social and me on together to explain that she is not being sworn in because she is the 218th signatory for the release of the Epstein files. Swear her in today.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs: 1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt? 2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies? 3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Michigan Avenue right now.

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown. Please go to my website for more information: www.sanders.senate.gov/resources-fo...

Check the timestamps. On CNN’s website, the uploaded interview starts at 2:52. On their YouTube page, the upload starts at 2:47. The “plenary authority” comment by Miller was at 2:41, as shown in my side-by-side video post. CNN should be reporting on what Miller said. It’s news!

We see his end game. Why others, specifically legacy media, don't see it is bothersome.

Happy Monday All! Here is a helpful resource for when someone claims “There is no threat to LGBTQ+ rights” or that you are “overreacting”: The ACLU is tracking hundreds of anti-LGBTQ+ bills across the U.S. right now. This is real. This is happening. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 🔗 tinyurl.com/3w4yw9np

DEVELOPING: Convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and financial fraudster calls for the imprisonment of Chicago’s mayor and Illinois’ governor because they will not help him turn their home into a war zone.

COHEN: “Federal workers earned that pay, and the law makes it clear they’re entitled to it.” US Rep. Steve Cohen rips into Trump for threatening to withhold back pay from federal employees who are working through the #republicanshutdown

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent. Will you? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-re...

Abolish ICE...

Chicago correspondent from the Economist @dlknowles.bsky.social

He's not working the phones to end the shutdown because: A) He wanted this shutdown and doesn't care about the damage it causes B) He lets others do the actual work C) He's not a real leader and doesn't know what that means D) He's had a rough week and the mean generals didn't clap for his speech

Fun fact: Even if federal money *was* being spent on Medicaid coverage for undocumented immigrants (it isn’t), the money wouldn’t be “going to illegal aliens.” It would be going to *healthcare providers*…ie, hospitals, doctors, etc. Medicaid enrollees don’t receive the money.

Joni Ernst: "Unfortunately, our farmers do need that assistance. They don't like it. They consider it welfare. They want trade, not aid. But if there's anybody that can make a deal, it's President Trump." No, Joni. He’s the reason why they need the assistance in the first place.

Swear her in.

Whoa! Employees at the SBA received a template for their suggested “out of office” email. They were advised to blame the Democrats. 🚨 A clear violation of the Hatch Act

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”

The biggest reason for longer waits is staffing shortages, which are driven by more people leaving healthcare practice than entering, esp nursing, due to bad management practices (often related to private equity). This administration’s immigration policies will significantly worsen these shortages.

Sen. Klobuchar says she doesn't understand why GOP behind closed doors says Trump is wrong but still vote with him.. Amy's taking high road. But I don't have to. One word #Cowards www.waaytv.com/video/amy-kl...

The Tulsa race massacre better known as Black Wallstreet was a two-day-long white supremacist terrorist massacre that took place in the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States, between May 31 and June 1, 1921.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Who asked for this?

They're going to try to overturn Obergefell and end marriage equality. Eyes wide open, folks. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Republicans are about to shut down the government because they want to keep hiding the Trumpstein files for President Sex Pest…

Like those on Epstein's List? That's the only list I'm concerned with right now. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

I’ve never avoided anything as hard as Mike Johnson avoiding the Epstein discharge petition.

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

War torn Portland on a lovely Saturday morning.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

“WE MAKE, THEY TAKE” From @moreperfectunion.bsky.social — 50 billboards across 8 states are driving home the message that working Americans (teachers, nurses, etc) keep 🇺🇸 running, but billionaires keep taking more & more. Share if you agree. More: perfectunion.us/wemaketheyta...

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

BREAKING NEWS: TYLENOL RESEARCHERS FIND DISTURBING LINK BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN

Anyone have Sinclair or Nexstar in your area? Do contact them and let them know how offensive you find their efforts to suppress free speech.

Jimmy Kimmel returns tomorrow. This is an important victory for free speech. Remember that it was YOU all using your power TOGETHER that got a gigantic corporation to reverse itself. Bless everyone who participated in telling Mickey Mouse to fuck off.

It seems this is even dumber than I thought. The active ingredient in Tylenol is acetaminophen. Other drugs that have acetaminophen: NyQuil®/DayQuil® Excedrin® Alka-Seltzer Plus® Mucinex® Robitussin® and some others that I didn’t recognize so did not list. But sure guys. Point only at Tylenol. 🙄

People can't afford rent and groceries.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.
