Republicans. The ball is in your court.

After voting to give billionaires tax breaks and making health care more expensive, Derrick Van Orden has refused to hold a town hall to talk to the voters he works for in a face-to-face conversation. So, I'm heading to Wisconsin to help give the people he's supposed to represent a voice.

Thank you to Rep. Yassamin Ansari for this act of total badassery—showing what real leadership looks like when others stay silent. Keep bringing the fire, the facts, and the fight. #GOPHealthCareShutdown

Mike Johnson is obstructing the US Constitution. President Lyndon Johnson was sworn in by Sarah Hughes, a US District Court Judge for Northern District of Texas. President Calvin Coolidge was sworn in by his own father – a notary public and justice of the peace. Swear in Adelita Grijalva. Now.

Dear Walmart, Consideeing you have more employees on SNAP than any other company — instead of simply having a ‘cheaper’ Thanksgiving bundle, how about giving your underpaid employees who must rely on SNAP for survival, one for free? It’s the least you can do. And I stress, the LEAST… — America

Good grief. This administration is so soft on crime.

Will they never learn?

If I'm doing the math correctly, Musk's big pay packet yesterday could have made each of these now-dead people millionaires instead. He is among the sickest men the world has ever produced.

Hey Bill Gates : Are you familiar with the logical fallacy known as "false dilemma"?

Um, do federal prosecutors *really* want to take the position that it's not okay to receive something of value from … Qatar? I can think of 747 reasons why they shouldn't. 🤔

This was the clearest explanation I’ve heard‼️

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

Nothing says ‘fit to lead’ like napping through your own medical endorsement. Get Grandpa Don to bed. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

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 could not find out much about this. However, it appears ACECO had their asbestos abatement license yanked in 2022. More info. www.enr.com/articles/617...

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 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.

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

@thatgrlwitapen.bsky.social i have a whole section on ronald reagan's welfare queen lie in my latest piece. cheers~ rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/11/04/f...

But -- the “sandwich thrower” is in court. The ICE agent who shot a Chicago woman 5 times fled to Maine in the gov't SUV. A federal judge demanded prosecutors bring him back to Chicago. Has anyone heard if there's a warrant out for his arrest? Why has it taken over 3 weeks?

ATTN: if you’re on the sandwich guy jury, my Signal is in my bio. I’d love to talk after the trial. I’ll keep you anonymous. Please share widely.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans. Nero would be proud.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103. 12 days of work in 103 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.

no need for daylight saving when Donald Trump already set everyone’s clocks back to 1939

Good question, Junior!

Thousands of you shared heartbreaking and maddening stories with me about rising health care costs. But the fight is far from over. If you're willing to record your story, we can make sure GOP lawmakers see and hear the direct impact of their policy failures: wintheera.myctbl.com/share-your-s...

If Stephen Miller had paid attention in con law, he’d know: Congress controls the money. Courts interpret the law. The president doesn’t get to shout “You’re fired!” at the entire civil service when he loses a budget fight.

“The U.S. Department of Agriculture had a plan to keep the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program running during a government shutdown by using contingency funds — but the document laying out that plan has now disappeared from the agency’s website.” apple.news/AuDRTieGcQWe...

Yes, they’re using the shutdown to turn off SNAP benefits. No, they don’t have to.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

@petersagal.bsky.social How much of a donation does Wait Wait Don't Tell Me to get priority seats?

Given that it is known as OBAMAcare, wouldn't be a bad idea for @barackobama.bsky.social to cut ads to blanket digital and broadcast/cable explaining why so many people are getting sticker shock with the ACA premiums. Dems are winning the argument but never a bad idea to hammer harder.

NEW: The Idaho Medical Freedom Act, which makes it illegal to require almost anyone to take a vaccine, test or other “medical intervention,” comes amid a national measles outbreak larger than the U.S. has seen in decades. By @audreydutton.bsky.social

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

The president had a MRI but won't say why. He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why. He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical. He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it. How is any of this ok?

Today is Day 27 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders: 1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House. 2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA. 3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

Anyone who would so nonchalantly tear down a huge chunk of the White House would sell ANY and all top secret information to any foreign power.

“No money” for SNAP but just increased I.C.E. spending by 700%.

THE LIES‼️ Trump forced through the East Wing demolition by firing three members of Biden’s planning committee and replacing them with his own loyalists. Now his handpicked insiders control a quiet but powerful board that decides what happens to the White House itself.
