VIRGINIA ROBERTS GIUFFRE, A FALLEN SHERO Trump told a reporter that he was upset with Epstein because "he 'stole' Virginia Roberts Giuffre from his Mar-a-Lago spa". SHE WAS ONLY 17 and became a sexual object for wealthy men. She fought, despite the threats and pressure that took her life away.

When out of touch meets gaslighting… Clearly, Trump, who never steps foot in a grocery store, is the one lying. Millions may go without Thanksgiving dinner this year because they haven’t been getting a paycheck.

Federal workers are furloughed. Veterans can’t access benefits. SNAP is blocked. Families are choosing between groceries and rent. Trump? Hosting a Great Gatsby party at Mar-a-Lago for billionaires - while sending $40B to Argentina. Breadlines for us.🥖 Champagne for them.🍾🥂

Thank you Speaker Pelosi - you have made history and served your country and San Francisco with honor, dignity, grace, and style. You have helped millions, from AIDS to Chinese grad students fearing Tiananmen Square backlash, from the Great Recession to the ACA, to the pandemic. The greatest!

In Chicago, federal agents enter Rayito de Sol Spanish language immersion preschool and take a woman into custody. This is the location across from Lane Tech high school on W Addison Street.

Exit polls from NJ are revealing. This looks a lot like 2020 for Biden. Whites went slightly against Sherrill while blacks went overwhelmingly, and Latino voters moved back into the 60-70% range Big gender gap for white men vs women, sizable for Latino men vs women

Polls show I’m already ahead of Darrell Issa. But the margins are razor-thin, and Trump will do everything to keep his loyal ally in Congress. I’m just $310 away from hitting a critical target. Can you chip in $25 to flip this seat? Pitch in here: secure.actblue.com/donate/a-b-x

California, tomorrow is the day we stop the election rigging that Trump is doing in Republican states. He poked the bear and tomorrow we punch back by #CAVoteYesProp50 to ensure we can preserve our Democracy, so fill out your ballot and turn it in. Let’s take our country back!

The DC Sandwich Thrower''s trial started today. His lawyers say it's retaliation since the CBP agent hit with the sandwich was not injured. The federal agent who shot Rev. David Black with a pepper ball at point-blank range faces zero charges. A sandwich gets more accountability than a cop.

#MorningVibe In a democracy, power doesn’t rest in marble halls—it lives in our voices, our votes, our unity. When the people rise, no leader, lobby, or lie can stand in the way. The power is ours—always has been, always will be. #PeoplePower

With all the uncertainty surrounding food aid right now, I decided to make my monthly royalties donation to do some good locally. The Food Bank, Inc. in Dayton, Ohio is dedicated both to providing food locally and addressing the root causes of hunger. (1/3)

🚀 All systems go! Bobby's kidney surgery is scheduled for Friday, 11/7 -- I'll keep you posted as he goes through final prep for this 9 hour surgery -- if successful he won't need a transplant or dialysis! Our next fundraising goal is $1333 by 11/6! Chip in $10, $25, $35, $50, $100 or more below:

Technically true: Graham Platner didn’t work for Blackwater - but he did work for its successor, Constellis. Blackwater → Xe → Academi → Constellis. After the 2007 Nisour Square massacre, Blackwater rebranded repeatedly before merging into Constellis - where Platner later contracted.

⚾ In the midst of a mega win by the Dodgers, Bobby's 2nd kidney surgery is scheduled for this coming Thursday -- it's his own World Series! He's being prepped now for 3 days and then he's up to bat! Help us raise $755 by Thursday to stay on track! Please chip in $10, $25, $50, $100 or more below:

Trump isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, but even he knows Republicans could’ve kept the government open all along. Now he wants the Senate to nuke the filibuster to fix the mess he made, because red states are getting hit hardest & their voters are getting too loud to ignore. Today’s day 31.

With the alleged layoffs of only people of color, CBS once again to be known as the Caucasian Broadcasting Network. Maybe Target can get a discounted ad rate?

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks go to the GOP’s ongoing, gleeful attack on Americans. As the GOP shutdown goes on, Still more pain will be coming from Don. The key lesson to learn: He is happy to burn Through us all to maintain his own con.

Every church should be doing this, and if your church isn’t, you’re at the wrong church.

🧵 Because hope IS a strategy, as @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social has emphasized, a thread of quotes from admirable people to keep hope front and center in these trying times. "Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness." - Desmond Tutu

The problem isn’t divisiveness — it’s dishonesty. You say you “never thought about” your tattoo as a Nazi symbol and covered it the moment it was pointed out. But you call yourself a military history buff. @grahamformaine.bsky.social

It is HIGH TIME to FLOOD DC. HIGH TIME to focus your POWER/NUMBERS where THEY are. HIGH TIME to make a unified & clear in-their-faces DEMAND: •Impeach •Convict •REMOVE!! [ Or, simply put: Do. Your. Damn. JOB! ] The traitorous & tyrannical regime's impeachable offenses ABOUND. 🚨Spread the word👇

A CAMPAIGN SCAM More than a year ago, an allegued assassination attempt happened in PA, during trump's presidential campaign. You will watch the event from 2 different angles and see why trump keeps doing the "fight, fight" hand movement wherever he goes, to keep the scam alive for his fans.

Jobs vanishing, SNAP running out, prices climbing, people going hungry, and billionaires building ballrooms. THAT is the “Trump Effect”

There should never be shame in needing help from a food pantry. But this is gut-wrenching: working every day, not getting paid for weeks, and needing a food pantry you didn’t need before. What’s shameful is that this is completely avoidable. Republicans need to get back to DC and negotiate.

WOW... JUST WOW... In order to justify invoking the insurrection act in Portland, Oregon, trump faked a riot with professional videographers, the military and hired extras. Sen. Jeffrey Merkley tells us what happened :

Trump and Lutnick are taking statements of interest and existing investments as new under Trump to claim success. As usual it is bullshit puffer. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/b...

Last Friday, I joined 36 other citizens in Oakland CA to ask if the reason Trump and Republicans are shutting down the House and Senate is because of the Epstein files. Call your Representative and tell them to ask Speaker Johnson to seat Adriana Grijalva and talk with Democrats! 202-224-3121

😢 Betty Ford once said that "if the White House West Wing is the mind of the nation then the East Wing is the heart.” Well, it's gone now, because we have a grotesque president who is sick in the mind, and was born without a heart. To hell with him -- and soon, please.

I finally found the video made by Oregon public broadcasting showing ICE officers attempting to stage a fake riot that Jeff Merkley was talking about. This was 3 weeks ago and I never saw it before today. youtu.be/NQtm5LATz_o?...

Trump tore down the White House East Wing to make a ballroom for he & his billionaire buddies. He & Republicans are doing the same to the US- destroying it to make a haven for the rich! Stop him Nov. 4! Yes on Prop 50 in CA! No on Maine Question 1! Retain Supreme Court Justices in PA!

Turnarounds in a country can surge from a weary, burdened People, who can no longer stand the heavy disparities between their poor life conditions and the brazen, cynical abuse against them from those in power. A.I. can produce the possibilities of history repeating itself.

Let this sink in… “At least one expert now predicting this could trigger greatest hunger catastrophe in the U.S. since the Great Depression.” 📌 The Dept of Agriculture posted a notice on its website saying federal food aid won’t go out on November 1.

2025: The real horror show, just in time for Halloween.

He had a Nazi tattoo, lied about it for years, and only covered it when it hurt his campaign. You’re not “unsure” - you’re 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚 𝙖 𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙧. If you still support him, 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙢 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙞𝙩. Yes, that makes me think less of you. Why wouldn't it?

Everyone’s talking about Steve Bannon saying Trump will be president in 2028. But here’s the point most are missing: He’s openly floating treason and civil war. “Seizing institutions and purging them.” Isn’t rhetoric, it’s a test to see how far Trump’s followers will go. 1/2

#TrumpIsTakingRevengeOnUsAll #StopTrumpAndHisSycophants

I’m done pretending Bernie is some moral hero. He’s propping up a deeply flawed candidate, parroting GOP border lies, and helping Republicans attack Democrats. That’s not “unity.” That’s desperation to stay relevant. He’s become a bitter old man who can’t accept it’s time to retire.

After a week’s hiatus, tonight’s #FridayLimericks look at the right’s implausible denials. Today’s GOP’s favorite blight Is selectively used sense of sight. They know nothing at all, But they’re here for a brawl— Deeming ignorance wise for this fight. youtube.com/shorts/D-GbZ...
