Trump's mental decline appears to be accelerating. So why isn’t the media reporting on it? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-why-isnt-the-media-reporting-dec

Don't hold your breath

Normal isn't coming back so get off your knees and fight back - what they have planned for us is far worse than anything they've already done.

Chump meeting former terrorist and Al Qaeda member Ahmad Al-Sharaa at the White House yesterday. The U.S. government had a $10 million bounty on his head until just before this meeting.

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived. (Published October)

Raskin: If this were to pass, this astounding provision would give eight Republican senators a personal payday of at least a million dollars each, paid for by the U.S. Taxpayers at a time when we are throwing millions of people off of their health care…

Language buried in this shutdown “deal” allows 8 GOP Senators who tried to throw a coup, sue to get millions in taxpayer money—because Jack Smith got their phone records. THEY TRIED TO THROW A COUP. There is no excuse for any Dem supporting this. This is absolutely wrong. Full stop—Period.

Cartoon by @andertoon.bsky.social. Sticker shock.

So apparently senators must now be notified in advance if their phone records are requested during the investigation of a crime. No one else, just senators. So they're free to crime and can't be investigated without notice. This is so wrong, but it's great for senators who want to commit crimes.

If, according to Trump, the government doesn’t have the tariff money available to refund all of it if he loses the lawsuit before SCOTUS, how can he be talking about giving away trillions in $2,000 checks?

A vile country isn't a country that can't feed its children, a vile country is a country that *won't* feed its children.

What difference does it make? The cutoff to enroll for 1/1/26 coverage is 12/15/25. If something changes w/regard to subsidies then insurers need time to calculate new premiums, deductibles, etc. & people need time to enroll before the cut-off. Very unlikely.

Move fast! The window closes in 35 days. That's why the Senate betrayal is so hateful. Even IF the fascists make good on their pinky promise (unlikely), the promised subsidy vote in 40 days will be 5 DAYS TOO LATE to save us from extortive premiums, ballooning copays/deductibles & reduced coverages.

🚨BREAKING: In a case with major implications for voting access, the U.S. Supreme Court will soon decide whether a mail-in ballot must be received by Election Day to count, or if it merely must be sent by then. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Maybe I’m late to this realization, but it just hit me… What are the odds that Speaker Johnson calls the House back for a CR vote with the Epstein files still hanging over his head? Those 8 Dems might have hung themselves out to dry and risked being primaried for nothing.

What a bunch of bullshit — voting to reopen the government based on a ‘promise’ to talk about the ACA at a later date? Unbelievable. Does anyone really think we can trust Republicans to operate in good faith? They don’t care about us & you can’t trust a word they say. Infuriating and embarrassing.

On Tuesday, Americans sent Democrats a resounding message. “Fight for us” “Fight for working class Americans” “Fight against Trump’s corruption, criminality and cruelty” 5 days later, Democrat Senators sent Americans a resounding message. “Nah”

So @schumer.senate.gov really thinks we don’t understand that he orchestrated this by getting senators not up for re-election to vote yes?

New joke: If a genie gave Republicans three wishes, they’d demand five, claim two were stolen, and use the third to cut the genie’s taxes.

A good read! My daughter just switched frm Comcast cable TV/internet to AT&T internet. Is going to do ROKU & YouTube. Savings $1800 a year. They said they improved their speeds and she can switch back any time.

😂 In response to Trump wanting to rename Palm Beach International Airport after himself.

& members of congress!!

▫️State-specific variations, annual adjustments & household income can affect max amount ▫️Walmart's net profit (end of 1/25): $19.44B ▫️$3.00/hr raise would reduce or eliminate SNAP for some but, it wouldn't make it uneeded for all ⬇️ income individuals or families #ONEV1 #Pinks 🌸 #Voices4Victory

A 50 year mortgage would be just great for the banks. We'd all pay more for the same amount of house, and banks would reap the profits. This is not the way to make buying a house affordable. Building more housing and paying a livable wage will benefit everyone except banks and their shareholders.

With Trump’s massive tax cuts for the wealthy currently exploding the deficit, and now this, Trump and his oligarch cronies want to make us debt slaves from birth to death while truly owning nothing, while they buy bigger yachts and more mansions.

Why is EVERY OTHER COUNTRY BETTER THAN OURS. No. That's not a typo. We are NOT the greatest country EVER on earth. FAR from it....

There is no emergency SNAP money left. It was stolen for DHS. Prove me wrong.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath? Character isn't something you tell people about. It's something you live.

I think democrats should push for a thorough review of all Elon Musk govt contracts as part of their 2026-8 portfolio. Why are taxpayers financing the work of a racist near-trillionaire? Leaving that unexamined was one of the biggest failures of the last Dem majority.

Not surprised at all. But, I do second that, what the actual fuck. 🤦‍♀️

So...congress doesn't have to be in session to swear in a new congress person ?

While US venture capitalists were buying monkey jpegs, and DOGE coins, and figuring out how to get Black women fired, and tweeting about white birthrates, and trying to mandate which bathroom trans kids should use, China was making progress on climate change and taking the lead in a real industry.

If there'd were this many air disasters under @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , Republicans would've been screaming to fire him. It's time to call for the dismissal of Trump's Secretary of Transportation. UPS plane crash

What the GOP billionaires have always wanted.

Praising a medical breakthrough originally funded by (now-gutted) NIH funding. 🤡 $LLY $NVO

“With significant funding from tech leaders, Rockbridge aims to equip MAGA to outlive Trump... It is gearing up to deploy its arsenal in the [2026 and 2028 elections],” aiming for JD Vance to takeover. They believe a “select group of elites are exactly the right people to move the country forward.”

To hide from the masses from whatever they're going to do to secure their party during the midterms?

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

When I was a 20 something I didn’t vote. I thought that one vote, my vote, wouldn’t make any difference. I believed all politicians were crooks and con men. This morning, we are seeing the importance of voting. It shows the will of the people and it is the whole point of democracy.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

The cruelty is the point with this regime!
