BREAKING: Gavin Newsom just went into Houston, Texas of all places and brought the house down. This part of his speech gives me chills. STAND UP FOR DEMOCRACY!!

Socialism doesn’t believe the government can do a better job than private industry. Socialism believes that a government given a mandate can do the job with equity to all, and without a view toward making a profit. Profiteering in healthcare, education, and the prison system is killing all of us.

Nixon didn’t go to prison over Watergate, but 48 others were convicted and served time for the scandal - notably, his Attorney General. Attention, Pam Bondi.

OMG, this is an actual AP photo. OMG. www.9news.com.au/world/fifa-p...

Newsom: They want to bring us back to a pre-1960s, maybe 1860s world. And you’re seeing it not just on voting rights—you’re seeing it on civil rights, on women’s rights, on LGBTQ rights. They’re censoring historic facts. They’re on a banning binge—Bud Light and Big Bird

A majority of the days the government has ever been shut down, Donald Trump was president. www.howtoreadthisch.art/red-versus-b...

Newsom: Anyone checked out my Patriot store? We do have some knee pads. It’s a signature series. They’re sold out at the moment. The universities, and all these law firms, and certain media organizations—I figured they can use these.

Mamdani is already improving New York!

Ever hear of the Adolf Hitler Memorial Football Stadium? Me either.

Trump is worried that if he feeds the hungry and he didn’t have to, that he won’t be able to get the money back. Our money. Appropriated by Congress. To feed the hungry.

I saw someone on my timeline shaming someone else for posting about college football in a time like this. Folks, if we're going to survive a time like this, we're going to need to avoid burning out from an attitude of 24/7 vigilance and constant outrage. Let people find joy where they can, please.

William Wolfe—a friend of Kevin Roberts & co-editor of the explicit “Statement on Christian Nationalism” manifesto—wants his fellow right wingers to know that “If you’re attacking @JDVance” (whose deputy press secretary is Tucker Carlson’s son), then “you’re not on the team.” Replies are brutal. 1/

A deep commitment to anti-wokeness

This is acting like a pure money laundering operation. They reported losing another $54 million last quarter. It has never made money. Investor money is just flying out the back door faster than in comes in to enrich a lot of shysters and grifters.

Midterms 2026 forecast

ICE is inflicting a lifetime of trauma on families. And it’s being carried out in the name of the United States of America.

A perfect metaphor for Trump's disdain for America's working class families. 😳👇

👀

Trump asked the Supreme Court to allow them to starve those who can't help themselves late on a Friday night when he hoped nobody would notice. Truly disgusting and depraved. #ResistTrump

This has not gotten much attention, but it should. Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE. Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

SCOOP: Alexander Smirnov, the FBI informant convicted of lying about a fake bribery scheme involving the Bidens has been quietly released from prison just months into a six-year sentence—raising concern he could be pardoned by Trump any moment. jacquelinesweet.substack.com/p/fbi-inform...

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

And you wondered who was buying the knee pads.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt? He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

Veteran's Day is in 3 days. About 1.2 million veterans use SNAP. "Thanks for your sacrifice. Now fuck you." --Trump and Republicans

Vote Red to Keep Us Put of Prison? That’s your campaign slogan? 🙄

Damn. I missed Josh Shapiro tearing JD Vance a new one yesterday

WOW: California Gov. Gavin Newsom gets a rock star welcome in Houston, Texas — greeted by cheering crowds lined up outside his rally today.

Obviously this is ridiculous as a policy for employees but also as a customer my blanket preference from any people working in any store anywhere ever is “leave me the absolute fuck alone” Smiling?? Eye contact?? TALKING TO ME???? Absolutely not!!!!

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Honestly looks like a kid with a sticker book and an unlimited supply of stickers just went to town.

It’s crazy when young officers up and down the chain are seeking legal cover so they don’t get sued one day for what could be illegal strikes.

Demand an audit of USDA’s budget now. Senate is still around. Call all of them day and night. Why are they fighting distributing the SNAP funds??? It’s beyond absurd.

DHS/ICE was given its own $165B as in BIG Ugly bill budget — yet here they are misappropriating funds right now from DoD and military budgets (e.g. Navy) to ramrod through detention center buildouts… Where is the USDA money for SNAP folks? Where did that end up? www.cnn.com/2025/10/24/p...

People like me and 42M that receive SNAP Benefits every month don't even have cake to eat without the help and assistance of the USDA. We can if we're lucky ask others or food pantries (that are stretched to the MAX). Like Senator Elizabeth Warren said this week, "Donald Trump told us to EAT DIRT!"

No Rwpublican lawmaker is going to say anything? Not one? After all the fuss about Hunter’s paintings?

Trump Cake to be provided in place of SNAP

Trump "has expressed such outrage at attacks on Christians in Nigeria that he has threatened military intervention there... but here’s the awkwardness: Trump’s aid cuts are killing far more Nigerian Christians than Islamic terrorists are." @nickkristof.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/o...

“Fox News is normalizing Trump’s police state”

Let's see how many First Amendment violations we have in this one edict: Religion ✔️ Speech ✔️ Peaceably assemble ✔️ Petition the government for redress of grievances ✔️ Press ❓(not quite, but they'll figure out a way)

Not sure if these are the Page One headlines WH was going for. @wsj.com

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant” He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

A moving sermon by a Church of England priest, in which he thanks God for the love LGBTQ+ bring into the world, has left viewers “weeping”.

NYT Page One: At the Kennedy Center, “where the name Donald J. Trump is now etched into the marble, .. ticket sales [were] down by about 50 percent from the same period last year ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/u...
