My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time. No more hiding behind election terms.

BINGO!

The change.org petition demanding Chuck Schumer step down as Minority Leader has now reached 50,000 signatures. Sign here: www.change.org/p/demand-tha...

NEW: The US has deported a longtime Oregon firefighter who was arrested by Border Patrol while deployed at a major wildfire in Washington state. José Bertin Cruz-Estrada, separated from his family, is speaking out from Mexico for the first time: “I feel betrayed ... What am I going to do now?"

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…

Thank you, Senators. This is why you’ll continue to have the support of the people. @warnock.senate.gov @ossoff.senate.gov

Big Tech is plotting a $100M lobbying and campaign spending blitz to block AI regulation at the state and federal level. We must stop this takeover before it's too late.

There’s still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. He’s also really upset about this deal.

My husband planned to retire in December. I'm not eligible for Medicare until Aug so I planned to get an Obamacare policy. I found one in Oct that was $800/month. Now it's $2000/month. So now my husband isn't going to retire. I hate Trump & GOP so much. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Let's review, shall we? Republicans are taking the blame for the shutdown. We cremated them on Tuesday. ACA has never been more popular. Rs own the famine by ending SNAP EVERYONE wants the #EpsteinFiles released. But it's the Dems that have to go groveling for a deal to end the shutdown?

Just pointing out that Hakeem Jeffries got TWO HUNDRED AND TWELVE House Democrats to hold the line. Not one House Democrat cracked. Not one House Democrat caved. I’m going to remember that.

Don't worry, there's still a market for those who are upset at Senate Dems caving for nothing but a pinky promise.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Under Schumer's leadership, eight Democrats (Cortez Masto, Durbin, Fetterman, Hassan, Kaine, King, Rosen, & Shaheen) joined the Republicans in moving forward a bill to reopen the government without ACA subsidies—Dems' stated key aim—or any other real concessions from the status before the shutdown.

Tuesday’s elections were NOT about the Democratic Party. They were about candidates focusing on the wants and needs of their constituents; about new leaders prepared to fight; about representation in every sense of the word. Party leaders haven’t absorbed this yet.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

My statement on the proposed Senate deal

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

“Before 2023, it was impossible to think that a healthy population like the one in Peninsula Valdés could become endangered from one year to another," says biologist Valeria Falabella…”This is a warning," she adds, noting that climate change brings additional risks and uncertainties for the species”

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.

Trump promised to lower prices "on day one" - but under his administration it's only gotten harder for people to afford basics like groceries. He's done nothing to make life affordable for working people, & his economic policies are making it worse. www.baltimoresun.com/2025/11/07/s...

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

A message about airline cancelation while a girl is on her Delta flight smh

Let’s get the ACA tax credits extended, save people money, and reopen the government!

Good grief. This administration is so soft on crime.

Two policies, with the same price tag, yet only one is on the chopping block. Why?

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now. Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it. Don’t forget this.

Your daily reminder. You have a sexual predator in the WH. Swear in Adelita Grijalva. Thank you for your attention to this matter. #TrumpEpsteinCoverup #SayLessRepeatMore

This is what Trump and Republicans are doing to CHILDREN and families with their fascist, racist policies. It is grotesque, ANTI-American and totally unacceptable. We all deserve to live in America without fear. These heinous attacks by Trump’s ICE Gestapo must stop. We must ERADICATE TRUMPISM.

Wow.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

It's day 36 of the Republican shutdown. While corrupt Trump exploits the presidency for personal profit, the GOP refuses to reopen the government because they won't put Americans' healthcare ahead of tax cuts for their billionaire donors.

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC. Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA. Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ. Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

The donors that contributed to Trump's golden ballroom have $279 BILLION in federal contracts. Their attempt to bribe the president with millions in donations could earn them corrupt favors from Trump or easier access to the American people's tax dollars.

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care. And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

Damn. The Matrix is here
