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"

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country. Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. The solution: Medicare for All.

I got my ticket to see The Librarians at the Hi-Pointe theater. First film this year for SLIFF - might do a double feature and see The Pantone Guy tonight. #sliff

We know more about the sandwich guy than we do about the guy who allegedly tried to assassinate Trump.

New Jersey, it is the honor of my life to earn your trust to become this great state’s 57th Governor. I promise to listen, lead with courage, and never forget who I serve.

Evidently, there’s a Republican in the NYC mayoral race? 🤨 The only thing all of us non-New Yorkers see is a full fascist regime endorsement for Cuomo. It’s Election Day nationwide. Do not let apathy or complacency silence your voice. Every Dem vote counts towards saving our democracy. VOTE! 🗳️

Happy Halloween!!

Look at this GIF... 👀

It's my birthday today! Not much planned. It's rainy and all I want to do is stay in my pajamas and watch Diane Keaton movies. If you want to give to your local food or PBS that would make my day!

What's so disturbing is he did this just as easily as a 10 year old destroying his LEGO! Nobody said a word.

I'd like to see a "Follow the Money' Chart starting with who the donors are making their payments to, how payment is made to architects, contractors, etc. and all the permits and plans that were submitted to someone [?], and who approved them???

It fits the bill.

Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Destruction of the White House East Wing began today. Here it is in better times with better residents.

Yeah. So The White House is designated a National Historic Landmark. That means: It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance. Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted. It’s not his house! WTF.

Most likely it will be used as a throne room. $250M price tag. This is just sick. @piperformissouri.bsky.social

Did you know that a typhoon just hit Alaska & displaced over 1,000 people and washed away entire communities? If your media isn't covering this, it's bc these are Indigenous communities.

Over 170 US Citizens Have Been Detained by ICE. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged & Detained for Days. flip.it/CMA_cR the cost of litigation stemming from ICE’s lawlessness—paid for by taxpayers—will be beyond staggering. If we still have courts by then, which judge will #AbolishICE, for cause & cost?

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode. We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

This is still going on. I'm watching on our local NBC station, KSDK.

Please also understand that every one of those regime events (like the one yesterday with sailors lined up behind him and Hegseth) are purposefully designed to make him look like he has more support than he does. They CHOOSE who stands behind him. Everyone needs a basic education in propaganda.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement. Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

Needs more cowbell.

U.S. consumers cannot report fraud to FTC during shutdown, agency says reut.rs/4pR0xEE

Small and medium businesses are really suffering. They will suffer more when they can't afford their healthcare for their come Jan 1, 2026. Trump is destroying our economy!!

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come. The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid Have compassion.

Here we are in another Republican government shutdown and my Rep is home doing photo ops instead of in D.C. trying to help working Americans. I didn't think I'd have to run to the trumpets again but I am. I'm running for Congress because I'm not done yet and neither are we. youtu.be/OSOAPMl_BSc?...

Big news: I’ve started a new chapter as Campaign Manager for @wellmanformo.bsky.social! Fred's running to win MO-02 and I couldn’t be more excited to be on his team. Take a look at his launch video and if you’re ready for change, this is a race worth supporting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSOA...

First Ashley Hinson voted to cut thousands of Iowans off their healthcare. Now, instead of voting to protect Iowans healthcare costs from going up, she's not doing the job we sent her to DC to do and is instead shutting down the government.

I agree with AFGE National President Everett Kelley. The Trump admin's threats against workers are illegal, immoral and unconscionable. Federal workers who have built a career in serving the American public should be treated with respect, not contempt. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
