If you are like me, an American Consumer, you are among the most powerful Voting bloc in the world. Please join me in using our power during this blackout:

Great idea!!

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. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

“The FBI redacted Trump’s name in the Epstein files… 1000 FBI agents… 100,000 documents… While reviewing the #EpsteinFiles, FBI personnel identified numerous references to Trump in the documents… Dozens of other high-profile public figures also appeared.” Bloomberg www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

🍼In a social experiment series, TikToker Nakalie Monore is testing how mega churches, including Lakewood Church, respond to people in need.

What did the Hated 8 Dems have in common besides voting against the American people last night? They all received donations from American Airlines PAC. Their vote was not about a vote on ACA or even SNAP. Their goal was to get American Airlines at full capacity again. Bought and paid for #ProudBlue

McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.

We just launched the biggest primary program in Indivisible’s history. Help us (literally) send Schumer and the surrender caucus a message. open.substack.com/pub/ezralevi...

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The final passage vote hasn't happened in the Senate yet. (They won't need Dem House votes in for passage.) @indivisible.org @moveon.org @50501movement.bsky.social what protests can you whip up in DC Monday? This is the fight that determines the fate of the party & the country, not just healthcare.

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.

This!

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

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"

FUN FACT: The number of people signed up for today’s chat is greater than the number of people who voted for JD Vance’s half-brother on Tuesday. There’s a lot to discuss! @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social will see you at 3p ET/12p PT.

Remember, Trump thinks it's more important that Elon Musk is able to fly than that you can visit your family for Thanksgiving.

And RFKJr just did an Irish goodbye as soon as that man went down.

This isn’t funny and it’s NOT a metaphor, no one laugh or think about this!!!

In 2024 there were 22 items at this price. Now there are 17. That’s nothing to lie and brag about.

“The world will see Jews living in peace under a Muslim just like they did in Palestine before the Zionists came. And then they will understand that it’s Zionism that is the problem” — A Jewish voter in New York

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

I better see no less than six stories this week in the NYT about Mamdani voters talking about their economic anxiety in Brooklyn diners and what the GOP can do to win them back.

So many pro-climate candidates won their races last night across local and state elections, and hopefully that will force the DNC to stop dragging their feet on climate to appease corporate donors. We the people want climate action, and we want it now!!

Lawyer: The Constitution, our framers, and 238 years of American history all say only Congress has the power to impose tariffs on the American people. Tariffs are nothing but taxes on the American people, paid by Americans. This case is about upholding the separation of powers.

👀 WOW — “Speaker Johnson is stalling Grijalva until Van Epps gets there to cancel out her vote?” TN-7 nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social tells us Johnson plans for Van Epps to help him cover up the Epstein files. (His weak answer to NC5 is another clue🕵️ )

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

This person took this when they called the race

The new Virginia congressional map should be 10-1. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Oh, you simple-minded, wheezing gargoyle . . . you were very much on the ballot. You are blamed for the shutdown. You are blamed from SNAP shutting down. You are blamed for a bad economy. And numerous people interviewed last night mentioned that seeing the East Wing destroyed motivated them to vote.

I love my governor!!! Vote YES on Prop 50.

PA Supreme Court retains its 5-2 democratic majority! HELL FUCKIN YEAH!

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Dumbass

Scott Jennings melted down on CNN over Zohran Mamdani’s likely win — ranting about “socialists” and tossing out a bizarre new slur, “Islamo-Marxist” Then David Hogg calmly torched the whole charade: “People are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country.”

🔥🔥 A social truth for Blue States to care for their constituents, our Democracy. Brilliant @tmp0raryher0.bsky.social Let the PedoPoopgatePrez, his purity pledge house boy Mikey, their cat lady hater & quisling clan (mis)handle the rest. #Pinks #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

FAFO! 👊🏾

Not sure how many Cheney obits will mention this murderous legacy of his.
