This one shouldn't get lost tonight.

Big thank you from a fellow immigrant!

We needed this! Wins across the board for Dems! Tonight I dare to hope that we can successfully establish a broad coalition against authoritarianism and oligarchy because we have finally realized that we are all in this together.

This!

On the ballot today: -NYC: Mayor -Minneapolis: Mayor -VA: Governor, Lt. Governor, AG, and state House -NJ: Governor -PA: State Supreme Court -GA: Public Service Commission -TX: TX-18 U.S. House -CA: Prop 50 This is a reminder of how crucial it is to vote up AND down the ballot.

Yesterday on @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social.

I'll be cheering him on tomorrow! 🥳

I've been a part of government shutdowns before. But this one isn't like anything I've ever seen. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BOF2Fz_rO-U

100% agree with Prof. Reich! Just to name one excellent point: “You [Dems] have the power to ban Super PAC donations in your own primaries. You must do that. Now.” Exactly. Talk is cheap, we need some action, people! substack.com/home/post/p-...

“[This] treaty marks the beginning of a new era, one where First Peoples’ 60,000 years of knowledge and culture is respected and celebrated. It’s an opportunity for all Victorians to acknowledge our shared history, heal and move forward together.” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

"You don't agree with me on every issue? So what, we're gonna work together and come up with the best plan that we can!" (to highlight just one of many crucial points): www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/o... (it's gifted)

Got all excited that @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social shared my repost (with comment) about his essay until I realized that it has a huge typo in it! Just like the democrats, I've got things to learn...😅

NBC's new poll say the most important issue for deciding who to support for Congress is: "Protecting constitutional rights/protecting democracy." If you agree, I suggest you subscribe the news outlet that focuses like a laser on just that. Sign up for Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

An increasingly segmented society has exacerbated Americans’ pessimism, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.)…told Politico. “We have a crisis of connection and meaning in this country, and Trump is a symptom, not the cause, of that crisis,” he said.

I read this, listened to it, then read it again. I very much hope that people are receptive to this message. I have not read a better case for what is needed to win elections again. I know that will take make conversations but this essay is an excellent place to start.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Two things: This is great for the Netherlands and EU & VOTING MATTERS!

Fighting cynicism and disengagement requires bold leadership. Jon and VP @kamalaharris.com talk about how leaders can seize this opportunity to present bold new ideas.

Happy Halloween. Trickle-down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich. For working people, it's been 40 years of all trick and no treat. Enough.

Mayor Eric Adams recently said "New York can't be like Europe, folks". In this post I dig a little into what being "like Europe" might look like from a health and social well-being perspective: substack.com/@phip/p-1774...

“this mass deprivation, which we insist is bad and not our fault, is a great opportunity for us to talk about our plans for long-term mass deprivation”

Jon and former VP @kamalaharris.com discuss how voters continue to be disappointed with incremental progress on a healthcare system that is corrupt and not delivering.

Waiting for someone to explain why the announcement of a trade relationship that is worse than the one we had a year ago is received as a big success

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants. Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

NEW: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Friday that it will send election monitors to polling sites in California and New Jersey — a move that Democrats and democracy advocates warned may be a potential step toward the Trump administration seizing control of voting.

If you’re waiting on the better angels of tech CEOs, don’t hold your breath.

No Democrat should vote to keep the government open unless ACA funding is restored for the millions of Americans at risk of losing health coverage next year. Remember that this funding is on the chopping block because Trump and Republicans want to give the richest Americans a giant tax cut.

Unbelievable story of Afghan refugee, a highly vetted fluent English speaker who helped the US against the Taliban and now lives here with his US citizen kids, declared “illegal” and perhaps about to be shipped home by the Trump admin to his likely death

🔥 Finally an EU leader says it out loud: “We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies.”

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

These so-called "DEMOCRAT AGENCIES"... -Ensure our food is safe to eat -Keep our air and water clean -Alert us to natural disasters -Protect us from financial fraud and scammers Remember what Trump is actually attacking.

Go, Jane, go! She's rounded up hundreds of Hollywood figures to revive the First Amendment organization her father championed. Fonda, in her late eighties, is in her prime as a climate champion and a powerful voice for justice.

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move. 1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year. Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.
