Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

Roses are red, violets are blue, this is true 👇

Long video, but worth the full watch. It covers Peter Thiel’s journey, showing how much control he has and the danger he poses. “That moment gave away what Peter Thiel really is: a greedy, selfish person who wants to own the world and will invent any fantasy he can possibly think of to justify it.”

Friends — the last nine and a half months have been frightening. But they have also opened our eyes.

Pardon me if I don’t think a president who is so ignorant about American history that he didn’t know what happened at Pearl Harbor (according to his Chief of Staff after their visit there) has a nuanced understanding of the Founding Fathers’ views on tariffs.

Trump goes golfing every weekend & is throwing swanky parties at his golf resort while millions of Americans - the people he works for - are struggling to put food on the table but everyone in the media's optics police department is out for donuts b/c you don't hear much about it

Caturday in Arizona. Lilah Lu is purrrfection in the fall sun. The only thing that would look better behind bars would be jailing the current GOP from withholding SNAP from kids, families and old people. #25/47 #caturday #catsofbluesky #tabbycat #swearinadelitagrajalva #FDT #FundSnap #Donaldisadick

I yearn for the vibrancy of summertime 🙌📸 #LandscapePhotography #Nature #SummerVibes #Ireland #Photography

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

It appears Jack has Jordan pinned to the mat.

There is nothing an American president could do worse for his own people than starving the poor right before Thanksgiving. Except for, I don’t know, lying about a plague and getting a million of his own citizens killed. Oh wait, let’s also not forget the time that he:

Sen. Ron Wyden is calling out the GOP for pushing to slip a nationwide backdoor abortion ban into the government funding bill. This is dangerous for women’s health care. We’ve already seen the consequences in states like TX, but I guess the GOP is intent on The Handmaid’s Tale.

the best explanation for the November 2025 election results is that voters didn’t know what they were getting with Trump 2.0 last November, but now they do — and they don’t like it.

ThEy DidN't KnOw.... Despite FOUR YEARS of them saying EXACTLY what they were gunna do. Hell they even put out a whole ass document and there were TV and Radio hosts reading from it and discussing it every day. Hell someone even made a GRAPHIC NOVEL of the plan. That and the massive insurrection.

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

Greg Bovino is evil incarnate.

Budget Week and it’s time to double down for 🇨🇦Canada - don’t travel to US; don’t buy US produced groceries or other products; don’t buy vehicles which have 80% or more US manufactured components. Focus your purchases on Canadian products and those made by reliable allies.

#GVerse Um. WTF??? Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings." This is the stupidest and most dangerous administration in history.

Chris Coons: "He's not listening to concerns about lowering costs. Instead he's worried about decorating his new Marie Antoinette ballroom or engaging in trying to figure out how to get his name on more statues and stadiums, or he's sitting across the table in the Oval Office with authoritarians."

I recall the orange convicted felon once saying people would stand in long lines begging for food if Kamala Harris became President. Now in 2025 people are seen in Cleveland and other cities standing in long lines for food due to his cruelty. Endless projection. I hate him.

The same folks who gutted SNAP with their “Big Beautiful Bill” and are now appealing to the Supreme Court to dodge paying those benefits want you to believe they care about the poor. Spoiler: they care about optics, not outcomes.

If I were to defy a court order, I'd be in jail, not building a ballroom. Reopen government, swear in Adelita Grivala, release the Epstein Files, restore healthcare subsidies, and fund SNAP.

#caturday is here! Let’s celebrate with Mavis in a box.

Tuberville: “We just saw what happened in NY. We lost NY. It will be completely Muslim in 3-4 years. That’s what they want. And it’s going to spread throughout the country.”

Hey Mike Johnson, do we even have a House of Representatives any more? Reconvene. Swear in Adelita Grijalva. Now.

One more failed book attempt happened when I turned 75 in 2021. Because many people suggested it, I attempted a biography called My 75 Years. I spent about 8 months trying to write it. Finally, I just put it into a blog and ended up using the guts of the book for my posts on Bluesky.

Hello Republicans, Can you please explain this?

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

If this evidence ever sees the light of day, I want prosecutors, judges, and juries to see it, but I have absolutely no interest in viewing any of it.

Emergency Press Conference: Update on the government shutdown and health care from Senator Gary Peters.

www.cnn.com/2025/11/07/p... Federal judge ruled Friday that the Department of Education violated the First Amendment rights of some agency employees when it sent out-of-office messages on their behalf that blamed Democrats for the government shutdown.

@weissmann.substack.com What is the statute of limitations on an insurrection & ongoing criminal conspiracy to destroy the United States/ We the people? @glennkirschner.bsky.social @nealkatyal.bsky.social @judgeluttig.bsky.social @tribelaw.bsky.social @marktushnet.bsky.social

Being on SNAP benefits for 17 years, I've NEVER been told I wouldn't be paid my benefits. NEVER. What is going on is BEYOND cruel. The ppl w/disabilities, ppl w/chronic illnesses & cancer, seniors already isolated, the 16M hh's w/children. WE REFUSE TO BE A NUMBER. WE ARE PEOPLE. WE DESERVE DIGNITY.
