If we want Medicare-for-all, affordable housing, universal childcare, taxes on the rich, we need a team going to Congress who will organize together to make that happen. We do not have the luxury of playing it safe.

I am retired Navy. I agree. Active duty must refuse to carry out illegal orders and they aren't doing that.

Surely the Supreme Court will get stay the lower court order to protect the Texas Republican Party and ensure that, because of a mid-decade gerrymander, the Republicans will get five more seats than they should. And they'll handle the California reapportionment in such a way to benefit the GOP, too.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Under current management, today’s Democratic Party is toast. They can reform in a populist direction, or disappear. The Establishment Democrats that have been calling the shots since Clinton gotta go. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Besides the Establishment Democrats, another problem is their consultants (often retreads from prior administrations): nomoremister.blogspot.com/2025/11/demo...

At least three weeks. Fox Propaganda only covers the things their audience wants to know.

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

The Canadians may have written us off a bit too fast. In spite of feckless establishment Democrats, there's a populist reaction to his tyranny - and he knows it. washingtonmonthly.com/2025/11/17/a...

This kind of sums up where we are: Until the comfortable contented classes have had enough, we will have Trump and the status quo. Please read: www.alternet.org/youre-fired-...

This is the problem: The elite. They think they are better than us. That they don't have to abide by the same rules or pay taxes. They grease the skids for their kids so they have an advantage from birth. Social mobility is a joke. Epstein;s friends are the elite, and they preyed on our daughters

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years. Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024. It’s far past time for Medicare for All. Here’s what you need to know.

It's about time. Try him on state charges so that Trump can't pardon him.

By refusing to address massive economic inequality, TheDemocrats™ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ have been Republicans-lite for over thirty years. Franklin Roosevelt & his New Deal addressed it and Democrats can do it again. Affordability & an economy that works for everybody is a message that works.

@saikatforcongress.bsky.social Your interview on the 1a show this morning sounded like me talking, and I’m in my early 70’s. I remember when we could have nice things. Economics matters, and in a country this wealthy there’s no reason why what you say can’t happen. I’ll be sending you a donation.

Last week - after killing hundreds of Palestinians in airstrikes during the fake "ceasefire", Israel blocked need refrigeration and syringes to vaccinate children. Now during cold and rain, they're denying tents for shelter. AIPAC & allies are likely fine with this www.juancole.com/2025/11/assa...

One of every five Palestinians killed by Israelis in Gaza and the West Bank is a child. #BDS www.juancole.com/2025/11/squa...

About a thousand underage girls were victims of Epstein and his rich and powerful friends. Watch the video at www.worldwithoutexploitation.org, featuring women exploited by them, and call your senators and members of Congress to demand release of all the Epstein files. 1/2

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not. Watch till the end @housedemocrats.bsky.social @houserepublicans.bsky.social

Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax. Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it's a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations he's announced. If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."

Trump attacking Venezuela is the worst Wag the Dog since Clinton would order the launch of some Tomahawks to take out a baby food factory in Sudan or Somalia the night before the Monica grand jury was scheduled to meet. To hijack the news cycle. History rhymes, and may repeat.

It’s unfortunate that so many establishment Dems say that this is the way capitalism is supposed to work … to let the market decide.

Never forget.

Is this losing? Feels like losing

All I’m going to say is, they don’t care if he’s had sex with children, but if they find out he’s had sex with another man, they will implode… They have a fcked up sense of morality.

Something familiar is happening… In the civil rights era, they smeared leaders as “communist” to break their credibility and stall their momentum. It was the easiest way to silence dissent and turn justice movements into supposed security threats.

There is absolutely nothing old or consolidated about *multiracial, pluralistic democracy* in America. It only started 60 years ago. And the conflict over whether or not it should be allowed to endure and prosper has been the central fault line in U.S. politics ever since.

From 2022:

The sick fuck is going to go to war as a distraction, isn’t he?

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.

Of course, Trump’s DOJ didn’t sue Texas, Missouri, or any other red state re-gerrymandering; only California. apnea’s.com/article/cali...

How can rush hours be worse than before Covid, especially no that so many work from home?

Americans don't like "Democratic Socialism", but they sure like Mamdani's policies. Strip off the "socialist" label that both the GOP and establishment Dems have demonized, and people like the programs. That's why the New Deal was so successful; today it would be recognized as Democratic Socialism

Only in an Israeli ceasefire is Israel allowed to keep murdering hundreds of Palestinian men, women, and children. And the Israelis are still assholes: Now they are denying Palestinians syringes and refrigerators needed for UNICEF to vaccinate children. www.juancole.com/2025/11/isra...

Trump‘s justice department says the troops aren’t liable for the deaths of these boats were shooting up. Yeah, right. I think the Nuremberg court would disagree. As in World War II, there are no good Germans here.

Guten Morgen!

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?
