Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care. And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

Breaking: Trump now says he will NOT abide by a federal judge's order to disburse SNAP benefits — despite the admin saying just yesterday it would partially fund November benefits. He says SNAP benefits "will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government."

THE HORROR! You MAGA Snowflakes were right. I Apologize.

We have evidence now going back to 2018 that when Trump isn't on the ballot, it's grim scenes for Republicans. And he'll never (lawfully) be on the ballot again.

this is genuinely wild

Have you heard the good news? The Democratic candidate Ghazala Hashmi has won the race for Lt. Governor of Virginia, becoming the first Muslim woman elected to statewide office in U.S. History. Congratulatations @senatorhashmi.bsky.social on making history!

Voting Matters...

Jennifer Siebel Newsom: I will not raise my children to think Donald Trump is an acceptable American leader. He is a con artist, a predator, a malignant narcissist, and the worst president in our nation's history.

When I read the full transcript of the interview, I realized there had been no pushback, no corrections, no challenging follow-ups. The entire interview had been an open-ended opportunity for Trump to tell rambling lies, only to have them cleaned up into a more polished product.

At least Marie Antoinette offered some cake. These sick bastards are "let them eat nothing."

Get some backbone, Dems! @timmiller.bsky.social on why Dem leadership needs to stop being cowards about Mamdani:

My Mom found out that she has bladder cancer. Surgery is scheduled for Wednesday. I don’t know what to do with my feelings of helplessness (I live 3k miles away. We had a terrible relationship when I was younger. We’ve become much closer the last few years despite the distance. 💔😢

7:30pm and I’m going to bed. Sweet dreams 🛌

The judges on this Tuesday's election are important! They've done a great job protecting our rights in PA, so turn your ballot over and vote YES to retain every one of them! (It's easy this time. The statewide judges up for retention are all highly recommended.)

Nearly 8 in 10 Americans agree that spending by wealthy donors and corporations in our elections gives rise to corruption — including majorities of Republican and independent voters. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction. We must overturn Citizens United.

You leak covert CIA ops, criminal probes, and Signal chats, but your healthcare plan is close hold?

Your daily reminder. You have a sexual predator in the WH. Swear in Adelita Grijalva. Thank you for your attention to this matter. #TrumpEpsteinCoverup #SayLessRepeatMore

What an odd set of options offered in the CBS News Poll. DEI but nothing about democracy or rule of law.👀

Meanwhile USDA Sec Rollins is trying to change the subject —the subject being Trump's decision to withhold food aid from 40M people—by claiming the admin is focused on rooting out SNAP fraud. To be fair, no one can fraudulently receive benefits if no one receives benefits, period

I've been wondering about that alleged terrorist attack that Kash Patel said the FBI interrupted just before Halloween. Big initial announcement with a "details coming soon" assurance but zero since then. So, sure, it's a defense attorney but still there's this...

BBC: Trump orders U.S. military to prepare action in Nigeria, accusing the government of failing to protect Christians — though watchdogs say there’s no evidence Christians face more killings than Muslims in the country.

Debbie is right.

This is one of the best explanations I have seen regarding the effects of the attacks on our scientific infrastructure newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/im-an-awar...

If Kemp’s not willing to use GA’s 14.6 billion surplus (9 bil is undesignated and 5.6 bil is a rainy day fund) to help fund SNAP, what the hell is he going to use it for?? I can’t think of anything more important than keeping people from starving. www.11alive.com/article/news...

Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..

I had and doctor's appointment yesterday and my provider told me that another patient of hers got their notice about their ACA premiums. It's going from $100 per month to $1300 a month. This is going to be a catastrophe for so many people.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court permanently BLOCKS the administration from implementing part of Executive Order requiring documentary proof of citizenship on the federal voter registration application. A BIG VICTORY for our clients--DNC, DGA, DSCC, DCCC, Sen Schumer and Leader Jeffries--and all voters!

BREAKING: 20 Jeffrey Epstein victims are urging Mike Johnson to immediately swear-in Adelita Grijalva. STOP IGNORING THE EPSTEIN VICTIMS!

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

Garamendi: If you look at the negotiations, there was a winner — it was China — and there was a loser — it was Trump… Trump went into that as a loser, and he came out of it as an even bigger loser. The fact of the matter is that China dominated that discussion.

“I don’t know” Johnson should be expelled from Congress for being a dumbass obstructionist who is willing to let his constituents go hungry. 20% of his constituents rely on SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) - which ranks among the top 50 highest rates of all congressional districts.

I’d like to have a meeting with whoever got me on a Nancy Mace text fundraising list

Republicans would rather let people go hungry… Senate Republicans Block Democratic Effort to Fund SNAP During the Shutdown… Federal food aid for more than 30 million Americans is set to lapse at the end of the week… www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

NEW EPISODE: Jon Favreau joins me to discuss how Democrats can counter Donald Trump’s authoritarian actions and fix their messaging ahead of the 2026 midterms, the challenge of connecting policy to democracy, and what it will take to win voters in a divided America. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVde...

It just keeps getting better.

Do they typically award Nobel Peace prizes to someone who murders people every day by blowing up their boats while claiming they deserved it for transporting drugs, but doesn’t give them due process, a fair trial, or present any evidence or proof of guilt to anyone?

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.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

"A majority of western Alaska’s weather balloon network was not operating during the landfall of the storm last weekend due to staffing constraints inflicted by the Trump administration..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Senator Whitehouse asked the BOP for Ghislaine Maxwells sex offender waiver, custody level, transfer code, and security point score. I have them. She's also been granted the ability to leave the facility for work assignments. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

If Mr. Art of the Deal really wanted to end the shutdown and cared about federal workers, programs and services, he would be negotiating instead of building a ballroom. And if he’s too busy with the ballroom, he could allow Thune to do it since Mike Johnson is a useless fool.

This is fucked

Donald Trump's puppet DOJ has no business screwing around with next month's election. Sending the feds into California polling places is a deliberate attempt to scare off voters and undermine a fair election. We will not back down. Californians decide our future — no one else.

I'm filing a brief in support of the case against Donald Trump's illegal tariffs now in front of the U.S. Supreme Court. California families and businesses shouldn't pay the price for actions that Trump never had the authority to take in the first place.

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

A floating frog costume fighting ICE agents as the face of resistance is exactly the level of absurd performance art this era deserves. When reality turns into satire, you might as well bring the memes to the revolution. Ribbit for freedom. #Pinks #Momsky
