Hoping to see Trump taken down by the Epstein files (but I question if his supporters will care if there is proof that he raped underaged victims of sex traficking). If the Clintons are also taken down, this would just be an extras bonus.

After his mishandling of the shutdown, this is probably Schumer's last term as Democratic leader. Gift article from Puck News. puck.news/democrats-tu...

If Democrats were to say Biden & Harris were terrible but we will nominate better people--vote for us in 2028 I'd be skeptical but at least it is a positive argument. When Democrats praise Biden & Harris despite their move to the right & awful record it gives no reason to trust them to do any better

I'm seeing another round of claims that Harris lost due to mysogyny and racism. Neither this nor Harris' excuses are remotely true. Here's a look at why Harris lost. Hopefully Democrats learn from 2016 & 2024 but they don't appear likely to. www.currentaffairs.org/news/kamala-...

Newly released emails provide further evidence that Trump knew about Epstein's crimes. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Screwing up the shutdown and caving without getting anything is far from the worst thing done by Democrats in recent years as they have abandoned principle and moved right. However it is a good litmus test as to whether people will believe and repeat any of their dishonest spin.

The Democrats caving is not about 8 Senators. Regardless of how everyone voted, this was a leadership decision. Votes are orchestrated to provide enough votes to allow Republican bills to pass and allow most Democrats to vote no...

Democrats are in the minority & they could not extract major concessions from Republicans but it is amazing that they got virtually nothing, especially after their electoral wins last week. As we have long known, the Democratic leadership is worthless. They need to go.

Supreme Court won’t hear challenge to landmark gay marriage ruling. I didn't think it was likely they would reverse marriage equality but with all that is going couldn't be certain. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The NY Times is right that Cheney paved the way for Trump's authoritarianism. They should include how Biden pushed authoritarianism in the Senate under Biden/Cheney and continued as president, paving the way for much of what we are seeing under Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/u...

Democracy means being able to vote against the ruling government. Attacking third parties means only allowing people to vote for one of two virtually identical parties controlled by the ruling oligarchy, denying democratic choice.

Pluribus started with two fantastic episodes but if this happened it would sure destroy social media.

The solution to the budget impasse is obvious. Both parties should agree on Medicare for All. Republicans can say they ended Obamacare along with the subsidies & Democrats can take credit for actually giving us healthcare coverage. Unfortunately neither duopoly party will do this. #Medsky

Hey everyone, I'm going to give you free money, no strings attached. You don't believe me? Then don't believe it when a Medicare Advantage plan makes such an offer. The freebies they give you are often paid by the plans failing to pay for health care. They are not a good deal. #Medsky

It makes no sense when companies post that there is a longer than usual wait time for customer support and it says this all the time. The long wait time is then their normal wait time.

There have been more pictures of actors wearing masks in public lately such as Tom Hanks, Christina Applegate, and now Hugh Jackman. Hopefully this helps to increase mask use following the opposition to masking by both the Biden and Trump administrations.

Risk of vascular and inflammatory complications in children following a Covid infection is far greater than risk of complications due to the vaccine. Complications from Covid are also far more severe than vaccine reactions. #Medsky www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

This week's elections were a rejection of Trump & the same may be true in 2026 & 2028. 2024 was a rejection of Biden. 2020 was a rejection of Trump. If Democrats win in 2028 this cycle will continue, leading to Republican victories, unless there is major change in the Democratic Party.

Covid is spreading but both Trump and Biden have pursued the strategy of not counting it and pretending it is not there. #Medsky www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Authoritarian war criminal Dick Cheney, one of the architects of the "War on Terror," has been taken to an undisclosed circle of Hell. He is survived by Joe Biden & Hillary Clinton, who promoted his ideas at the time and turned them into the philosophy of the Democratic Party.

Democrats are more frustrated with their party than Republicans. There is good reason for this as they support genocide, endless wars, attacks on civil liberties & attacks on medical science--in other words, becoming little different from Republicans. share.google/tuaJrtVs4Nqm...

George Clooney was right to call for Biden to step down & is also right that Harris should not have been the candidate. Biden was unpopular even before the debate. Democrats needed to break from Biden, not run someone saying she would do the same as Biden except appoint a Republican to her cabinet.

The Republican healthcare plan: Die without insurance coverage. The Democratic healthcare plan: Buy extremely expensive insurance with deductibles so high that many people cannot afford to use the insurance. The Solution: Medicare for All.

Voters want Democrats to be more progressive, more humane, and to offer change. They won't get this from the Democratic Party establishment, even if their moves to the right repeatedly cost them elections. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Covid remains a serious problem. Governments, including in the United States under other Trump and Biden, have been misleading the public to support short term business interests, creating mass long term medical problems, which have also been harmful to the economy. #Medsky

Democrats cannot effectively fight Trump by continuing to defend right wing Democrats like Harris, Biden & Clinton who support endless wars, genocide, attacks on civil liberties & have turned Democrats into an anti-science party to defend Biden's mishandling of Covid, paving the way for Trump.

Covid and Flu Can Triple Your Risk of Heart Attack. Vaccines reduce but do not eliminate the risk. Both the Trump and Biden administrations have opposed other measures to protect against infectious diseases to please short term business interests. #Medsky www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/w...

US strategy under Biden & Trump is only leading to further destruction of Ukraine. Unfortunately some prefer another Forever War to tie down Russia and/or sell more arms so I'm not optimistic about any change. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Anyone planning a No Kings protest at the 2028 Democratic Convention if they once again install a nominee without a fair nomination process? There hasn't been anything approaching a fair primary since 2008 & even then and earlier rules were used to promote centrist candidates.

With Trump in the White House I'd like to see Democratic gains in Congress to offset him but some Democratic candidates are unacceptable. My current rankings for the Michigan Senate race:

Two things which never ended: Genocide in Gaza and the Covid pandemic.

I saw a post on Mastodon saying people are using a feature on Google Maps to mark "unplowed roads" as a way to warn of icy conditions--in other words ICE agents around.

I hope it is true that many protesting were also opposing the security state & Democratic Party leadership along with protesting Trump. Protesting Trump while continuing to support the attacks on civil liberties from the security state & Democrats like Biden would be worthless.
