@davidhogg.bsky.social On MSNBC - this is where we need you, advocating for our opposition.Not a big tent party.Not a re-definition of D party. Ds benefit as people understand bottom up can work. Hyper local electeds focus to get shit done then convene to learn/collaborate. We lost that perception.

Trump‘s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.

Trump wants health insurance premiums to spike right after he allowed medical debt to adversely affect people’s credit ratings, while rolling out 50 year mortgages. But he loves you, MAGA. That’s why he’s building that ballroom for you.

Sir, Trump is at Mar-a-Lago since yesterday.

Donald Trump’s economy. Where McDonalds is too expensive for 30-year-olds. The Golden Age.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Clips like this are political gold

The market’s AI run-up yields two plausible stories: 1) A genuine productivity revolution that lifts living standards; 2) A classic overhype that ends like 2000. Surely the right stance isn’t certainty; it’s humility, diversification, and an eye on the long run.

Trump threw another lavish party as his DOJ asked the Supreme Court to stop it from being forced to pay food stamps for 40 million Americans. Yes, this is *different* from last week’s Gatsby party. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-hosts-...

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

$40B of your money to this guy, so he can dance at CPAC at Mar-a-Lago while Americans wait for their paychecks, hoping the money actually comes.

@robertgarcia.bsky.social @oversightdemocrats.house.gov WTF are we doing here, folks?

They weren't terrorists. They weren't cartel members. They had no fentanyl. And they weren't coming here. They were transporting cocaine. To Trinidad. Most importantly, they were human beings. And they were murdered. By the government of the United States of America.

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine. We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would “negotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.

"isn't that just the conversation we've been having now for years, which is how does someone look the American people in the eye and lie to them? How should you respond as someone in the media? And how should I respond as an economist?"

@repbarragan.bsky.social @robertgarcia.bsky.social @adamschiff.com @padilla.senate.gov Ds need to walk and chew gum. You gotta do $, healthcare, ICE harms, etc. all at the same time. We say authoritarianism is bad, democracy is good. Why? Because it hurts all the way around. We have examples.

Grocery prices are skyrocketing. Coffee is up 15%. Ground beef is up 14%. Bananas are up 8%.   All thanks to Trump and his stupid tariffs.

Deeply disappointing. The Trump administration is doing everything possible to NOT feed our families. And our most vulnerable communities are suffering as a result.

The normalization of anti-Muslim rhetoric is reaching new levels. Yes, Loomer is nuts, but her extremist views at times become mainstream GOP thinking. Muslims are part of our nation’s fabric, just as Christians & Jews are. We’re all American. This bigotry needs to stop.

Econ 101 midterm question: Based on what you know about risk pools and adverse selection in healthcare markets, will giving people money instead of giving them money to buy health insurance lead these markets to function more effectively, or will it just lead more people to be uninsured?

A great resource from our @steveliesman.bsky.social -- in this period where we're flying in the dark on economic data. @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/altdata/

Sure, buddy…

FOX: So you would ask Speaker Johnson to recall the House? GOP REP. KEVIN KILEY: Not only would I, I've asked him to do it repeatedly. There's no justification. And honestly, it's Republican voters who should be most upset about this when they delivered a GOP majority and now that's being wasted

A reminder that before he was blowing up boats under supposed war authority based on bogus accusations of terrorism, the President sent hundreds of men to CECOT under supposed war authority based on bogus accusations of terrorism. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them. There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

Opposition movement offering hyper local government/policy positions. NOT a big tent party. Ds may benefit being the party favored by this diverse coalition. But this is about the people. Period. Good, authentic candidates ready to work for us. We will lose if it is made to be about any one party.

They keep you pointing fingers at each other so you aren’t looking at them and their harms. Full focus - they are extraordinarily cruel and corrupt. Stay peaceful, document, take care of one another, help get out the vote, vote.

@velshimsnbc.bsky.social And Justin Jones to follow. Sheesh. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Powerful Saturday morning.

@velshimsnbc.bsky.social So good. Thanks for that.

Spotify is running ads recruiting more ICE agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities, so we’re calling on users to stop paying for or using the app until Spotify stops streaming fascism: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

But Elon will become a trillionaire. Failed state.

So the one to 25,000 bad apples in the NYPD are "self-deporting?" What a great way to weed out the most prejudiced assholes. Congratulations, New York City!

Dear Bluesky Zohran Mamdani showed the Democratic party exactly how to win, but I fear they will totally deny the lesson. Meanwhile, ballroom boy has already pivoted to affordability. Please don’t let the old guard lose yet another election due to corruption and incompetence. Thanks, God

Masked ICE/CBP agents detain a man with special needs, claiming he was “noncompliant.” Neighbors say the man is nonverbal and autistic.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

I’ve long thought Trump is good at picking fights that benefit him politically but the fact he’s fighting right now to starve Americans is making me reassess

Winning the hearts and minds of the public www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump is sending our economy into free fall and his solution is to throw millions of Americans off their health care this fall.

I've been raising the alarm about the expiring tax credits for nearly 2 YEARS. Republicans have had all the time in the world to fix their MAGA health care hike. There is no later anymore. Republicans already pushed us over the ACA tax credit cliff. The time to fix this is NOW.

Updated: Our tracking guide with the Pentagon’s latest lethal strike on a boat suspected of drug trafficking. Three men were killed in the Caribbean Sea, Defense Secretary Hegseth posted last night, raising the toll to at least 70 killed in this bombing campaign. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Morales: I don’t care if you’re the most individualistic person on the planet—because you “lift yourself up by your bootstraps” and think government should stay out of your business and “don’t tread on me.” Climate change is already treading on you, and you should care about this issue.

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.
