Deportations actually _increase_ housing prices because they shrink the construction industry. The reduction in new houses being built swamps effects from lower demand

This is what they “inherited” BTW

They rounded a bunch of random Venezuelans with tats and pretended they were in tren de aragua, then started blowing up random Venezuelan boats they claim “carried drugs,” in order to slowly groom their base into supporting a full ground war on Venezuela that was always about oil

Zeroes in on a crucial policy goal for whenever the Ds again take power

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Wonder what he's talking about? A chess game, perhaps?

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

Worth hearing. Thoughtful. I’m stil pissed, but worth hearing.

Not a coincidence that none face the voters in ‘26.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs. So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract. Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

A flexible spending account that replaces enhanced ACA premium tax credits would help people with their out-of-pocket health care costs. But, that help would be limited if they couldn't afford to buy insurance to begin with without the enhanced tax credits.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Arizonans are worse off today because their healthcare is now in limbo. Simply put: it's not a deal if it’s missing access to affordable healthcare. Hardworking Americans deserve results, not empty promises. If I were in Congress, I would vote NO.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

What a great idea! Thanks to @firedbutfighting.bsky.social, we can all support furloughed and fired federal employees who are offering a variety of services, including dog-walking, tutoring, graphic design, meal prep, and much more. For more information, visit firedbutfighting.org/talent-marke....

To recap, among young voters… Prop 50: +58 Sherril: +37 Spanberger: +40 Mamdani: +61 I better see the media start retracting some of those stories saying Gen Z is the most conservative generation.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

I could not have gotten a pic without causing a traffic hoo-hah, but today in central #Maine I passed an older pickup truck that had a cardboard sign tied to its back gate that said in large hand-drawn letters: DEPORT FELONS NOT WORKERS 💙

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.

Law and order

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

We will pay the price for Nigel Farage's Brexit - and Labour's cowardice - until we reverse it.

This is how a real President is supposed to act

I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.

Gratuitous cruelty.

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

Agreed! We should be empowering our cities and towns to take action to address local challenges, not hobbling them. #mapoli www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/24/m...

How would be a good time for Kroger, Trader Joe’s, Aldi, Target, WalMart, Publix and other major food retailers to step up and fill the gap…instead of lining shareholders’ pockets.

As other people have noted, if you have local food banks, now would be an excellent time to donate cash to them, if you have the cash to spare. We will be upping our donations to food banks and hunger-related charities here in Ohio.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

The White House thing is such a disaster for them. The most potent political emotions are mass anger, visceral disgust, sense of lost, and nostalgia, preferably supported by images, and somehow they’ve triggered all of it at once. And now it’s gone, can’t be stopped, and they have to build a palace.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

What if you threw a party and no one came? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

This is FANTASTIC news! The illegal RIFs are stopped - at least for now.

The month after the closure, ED visits for children with asthma dropped by 41% !!! The researchers also found a 20 % decrease in overall ED visits for respiratory problems. Cardiovascular ED visits also dropped significantly.

Update in Jackie’s case: Yesterday, an immigration judge ruled there’s no legal basis for her to be in deportation proceedings. Yet she's stuck in detention while ICE appeals. Jackie should have been released — her children need their mom home. #FreeJackie www.bizjournals.com/pacific/bizw...

What?!? Is this real??

If you could only use two words to summarize the idea behind the revolution and the Declaration of Independence it would be, "No Kings."

Hellscapes ain’t what they used to be.

Fair point. Captured. Seized.

Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

A library director in Wyoming who was fired two years ago because she refused to remove books with sexual content and LGBTQ themes from a library's children and young adult sections has just been awarded $700,000 in a settlement. t.co/EA5L1kOZfV
