If you’re working as a staffer for someone who is gonna vote against releasing the Epstein files… … you might wanna rethink the ethics of that member This issue is a watershed of ethics versus Trump and ethics might win this time(?)

It must be pretty bad if the files are allegedly saying Trump is exonerated, but the files can’t be realized… to exonerate Trump Andrew “Mountbatten-Windsor” is like confused and angry why so many are protecting pedophiles

It’s only a hoax if Trump and the Republicans release all the Epstein files to uncover this hoax in its entirety Blocking the Epstein files is admitting there ain’t no hoax, and the files will show a truth “some” may not like

Trump is in total meltdown

Ok, now release the Epstein files #IKnowItsThatEasyAndAlsoThatHard

You know it’s an authoritarian regime when you see regime members rarely enjoying the idea of what they are doing is for the good of all, but regime members to be purposefully angry at… “the people”

“Epstein’s Plane flew, and Donald Trump knew”

Gotta be honest, people I know well have written less about me in emails than Epstein wrote about Trump, already

Come March, April 2026… … there will be a full occupation of all 50 states by the Department of “War”, a plan being developed Oh, hey, that’s not hyperbolic, it’s been reported, and this move, and way too many other moves point to it… A complete soft coup chicago.suntimes.com/public-safet...

Good morning, A 6-3 SCOTUS is wholly complicit in the authoritarian soft coup of the Trump regime, via decisions aiding authoritarian rule over constitutional powers Good morning

So I’m watching the film “The Longest Day”, recounting D-Day from many storylines It’s also America fighting back fascism and the German dictator occupying Europe We need to fight fascism… …wherever we find it… …foreign *or* domestic Thank you to our Veterans God save our republic

If you find yourself trying to defend Chuck Schumer staying as leader… … odds are you aren’t caring about our democratic republic It is that simple Schumer is not the leader the republic needs against the authoritarian fascist that is Trump

The correct take; “… what they do, not what Bovino says…” Spot on

First, always read @daveweigel.bsky.social Second, my goodness, I mean… we went from folks “yelling at clouds” to now a “yelling at screenshots” culture, it’s a great read 👇

You gotta check out these that @markjacob.bsky.social has here Whew 👇

The Senate Dems that caved… after a big win last Tuesday, after polling blamed MAGA for the shutdown, after the momentum Dems had, caving to getting nothing… those Dems who caved, to all the good that *HAD* momentum to get concessions…

My god, Trump is disgracing Arlington National Cemetery… again Can’t he just honor those who wore the uniform, and make today about our thanks to them?

Sally Kirkland

Good morning, Thank you to our veterans, who fought for our constitution, and we honor today for their service Good morning

It was likely not an accident the term stormtrooper in 1977 was used in Star Wars, describing Empire’s fascist army and reminding us all of 1930’s Germany Now, tell me this picture in 2025 America isn’t the Star Wars warning?

The Trump Brown Shirts, like any fascist military, pose at landmarks to mock our freedom No different than *ANY* other fascist regime occupying … freedom If they have time to pose for this garbage, how can anyone say Chicago needs occupying military forces? blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...

We are living under fascism Trump is an authoritarian dictator It’s not MAGA that should scare you going forward, it’s the Vichy Republicans that will aid Trump’s continued march to purposely dismantle the republic… even more Institutionalist Dems are Vichy too, FYI

Lenny Wilkens

Tell me you’re an institutionalist without telling me…

If you’re blaming … IL Dems… for the Rauner pain… odd are you won’t understand why it was important Dems stood up to Rauner at all

Illinois Democrats never caved to Bruce Rauner Just pointing that out

When Lincoln forgave the confederates, I dunno if Lincoln realized that Trump forgiving insurrectionists and those who tried to overturn a fair and free election would claim to be “like Lincoln” Every day we get closer to a truth we lost the Cold War and the Confederacy won American governing?

Senator Angus King admitting there is no guarantee that ANY help for ACA will be a bill… … what was the reason to cave?!?!? Something is fishy to the institutionalists helping… Trump

Weird, right? A structured 60 vote roll call to reopen the government, and Chuck Schumer seems like this structured roll call isn’t a device of institutionalists… like him I *know*, weird

We are at the point of the film where if Trump asked the House to suspend all elections, there would be “eight or so senate democrats” willing to pass the measure too Absurd, amirite? Yeah, our new normal *IS* absurd

On a morning like this, I can’t help but think about institutionalist Dem Merrick Garland… who betrayed the republic and his own oath that *personally* helped Trump survive and come back to tear down the republic Had Garland not been an institutionalist…

Good morning, America, it wasn’t MAGA that betrayed you, it was institutional Dems that are out of touch with our plight facing authoritarianism Institutionalist Dems are aiding Trump and his authoritarian regime, know it These Dems will help take down our republic Good morning

Opening the government without securing their deal AND getting ACA in a passable and signed package… … what exactly is being done tonight but helping MAGA and ending chances to get ACA subsidies

Did Susan Collins already find 218 votes in the House and secure Trump’s signature? “I’ll hang up and listen for my answer”

MAGA (Lucy) Senators telling Institutionalist Dems “we have a deal, honest”…

Of course Susan Collins announces the “deal” If course it’s Susan Collins My goodness, MAGA and Trump own not only MAGA but each and every Institutionalist Dem It’s why we need to worry about the soft coup

👇

Ladies and gentlemen, Chuck Schumer just threw away all the good of last Tuesday The institutionalists are here to help Trump Learn this lesson

Meanwhile? It looks like I’ll win my fantasy football matchup this week

Thank you, Rich 👇

Thank you, Rich 👇

If the Dems cave now, the Susan Collins / Lisa Murkowski types in the MAGA senate caucus will realize that no matter what Trump does, Dems cave… so just hang with MAGA Tuesday, in the short term, was for NOTHING

A booming, roaring, hot country does not need stimulus checks… … a compassionate government that cares for its people never let’s them starve as a “purposeful plan”… even outside a shutdown leverage framing We will realize there’s a soft coup afoot The question is if Trump can outrun that truth?

Fox Sports doing a rehab job for Trump having him seem “normal” is only as weird as Kenny Albert fawning all over Trump for attempting to speak full sentences We are in a sad state of affairs right now Also, the government is still shut down as Trump goes to a football game

Chuck Schumer is an institutionalist The rest is all about Schumer failing us all

The question the country needs to ask itself? Do you trust Johnson and Trump with upholding a Senate deal Big ask

Dick Durbin can’t leave the stage soon enough
