During their meeting, Polish PM Donald Tusk told President Zelensky: “You have stronger cards. I know you don’t play cards, remember?” Zelensky smiled: “But sometimes I do.” Tusk replied: “With us, your cards are even stronger.”

"Amid America’s fall, the news media has largely failed to meet the moment...Trump is covered with deference; with headlines and stories that often take him at face value." @sulliview.bsky.social is relentlessly staying on this and it's good to see: margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/america-ha...

Here’s Zelenskyy, freely walking in Kupyansk that Russia claimed to have occupied. So when we talk about “occupied territories in exchange for peace”, what exactly are we talking about.

Russian takeover of the world

I understand Poland and I do understand foreign relations.. but it hurts like hell as a Ukrainian-born to read this.

Whole thread worth reading, and Wyden is exactly right. We do not know the truth about Epstein until we see the whole money trail, including how it was handled inside JP Morgan.

Keep an eye on this tomorrow.

Schumer and the Hateful Eight Betray America: A new low for the Senate Democrats. Become a Lincoln Loyal paid subscriber to read the latest from @therickwilson.bsky.social! www.lincolnsquare.media/p/schumer-an...

"It was a colossal leadership failure, and Chuck Schumer should resign as Minority Leader immediately if he had a shred of honor or shame. And by the way, Schumer may be voting “no,” but this travesty happened because he wanted it to happen. "

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

@sanders.senate.gov: "We have already had 15 Republicans in the Senate defy Trump and say, 'Release the SNAP funds.' So I think that if we had held firm, it would be the Republicans who would yield. That was not the position of these 8 Democrats."

8 Senate Democrats sided with Trump and Republican fascists in throwing 15 million Americans off Medicaid and Obamacare: Dick Durbin (IL), Maggie Hassan (NH), Tim Kaine (VA), Angus King (I-ME), Cortez Masto (NV), Jeanne Shaheen (NH), Jacky Rosen (NV), John Fetterman (PA).

Americans are facing a healthcare crisis NOW and this Senate deal does nothing to fix that. It's a bad deal and I cannot support it. Americans deserve better.

November 9, 2025 the day of the great Democratic betrayal November 9, 1989, the fall of the Berlin Wall. Weak democrats who have condemned millions to lose their health insurance, must GO!

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

"Even then, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has said he won’t promise that the House will vote on extending the subsidies."

Bravo Dems for being brilliant LOSERS even as you were winning. GOP IS"promising" DISGUSTING "As part of Democrats’ agreement to end the shutdown, Thune is promising Senate Democrats a vote in mid-December to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies that are due to expire at the end of the year"

He wont. This is why he's MIA rn. We need to find someone else to fill his seat unfortunately. #VotingBlueIsNotEnough

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95.8 million in 2024. The median barista made just $14,674. That's a 6,666-to-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio. The largest of all S&P 500 companies. Every single worker should walk out. Americans deserve a livable wage. Enough!

"hope is alive" maaaaaaamdani!!

Because Andrew Cuomo is trying to exploit the “Real” New Yorker/Transplant dichotomy like all of the worst people in the city, I also addressed that

Chicagoland going for MVP: “This is beyond anyone’s wildest imagination in the best possible way,” Khan said. “It’s overwhelmingly amazing, and we just want to make sure we get food to people who need it the most.” www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/e...

I am so tired of the Democratic donors, and Democratic consultants. We have eyes to see, thank you and we can make our own decisions. Go away Clooney. Give me a break with your hindsight A-HAs.

🇩🇪🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Today, we can already say there is a good result for our air defense – Ukraine now has more Patriots. I thank Chancellor Merz, I thank Germany, and everyone who helps – our agreements have been fulfilled. More Patriots are now in Ukraine and being put into operation.

Shit like this is why I have trust issues with some senate candidates.

Let me be very clear. It is not enough that RFK Jr. was forced to admit today that no causal relationship between Tylenol and autism has been shown. We know that while disinformation spreads like wildfire on social media, corrections most often die on the vine.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Europe has so much to learn from this woman.

Ireland just chose compassion over cruelty by electing Catherine Connolly, an independent socialist who fights for women, LGBTQ+ people, carers and people with disabilities. In a world sliding into far right hate this landslide gives me hope. #Aras25 🇮🇪🌈

Brittany, a 38-year-old mother of three, lives in Greenup, Kentucky, and works 35 to 40 hours each week as a home health nurse. She starves without SNAP and still "supports Trump and blames Democrats for the shutdown because “they are not agreeing on anything that the Republicans offer”.

Lots of US companies have done lots of dreadful things to Americans. But the symbolism of paying to destroy the White House is hard to top.

For fuck's sake. This is not difficult to figure out. Anyone who can add and knows how the markets work knows what this Argentina aid scam is. The fact that the media keeps calling it "aid" is such bullshit and hope they're all hung out to dry when that $40M of taxpayer money vanishes.

Insane corruption. Congress needs to call it out. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

BREAKING: Mike Johnson and House Republicans just announced their new healthcare plan: Die.

"Schiff's efforts to expose Russia's role in destabilising US elections has now put him in Trump's sights.The president views him as one of the main perpetrators of the “Russia hoax” – Trump’s term for the mountainous evidence of Russia’s interference in US politics."

Just so you are hip to it: The account that shorted the crypto market 30 minutes before TACO’s Friday tweet about new tariffs on China made more than 80 million dollars in one day. But yeah… that’s not insider trading at all… because 🤷🏽‍♀️ I mean…I’m not sure that’s illegal because crypto is not

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

The mounting deaths in Trump's concentration camps. “Contracts are being distributed to Trump’s buddies and people with no experience running detention centers, many of these contracts are no-bid. They’re incarcerating people and allowing them to die, not providing medical facilities. It’s horrific”

"Connecticut Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy told the New Republic’s essential Greg Sargent last week. ”I would be a sucker to agree to a budget that literally funds an operation to hunt me and my allies down — to imprison us, harass us, intimidate us."

"$8 billion in cuts to green energy funds from selected states, all of which have two Democratic senators and voted for Kamala Harris. That’s no less than taxation without representation."

"ICE reportedly planning to target Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show could yield something productive. While the actions themselves would be awful, seeing the cruelty and inhumanity play out during the year’s most watched event would force more Americans to reckon with the Trump admin’s attacks."

People "change" when the *chainsaw* is not in their hands anymore "Gone is the insult-throwing madman who governed largely by decree and dismissed critics as “vaselined baboons”; in the run-up to October’s midterms, he wants to retain the support of the moderates who backed him in 2023."

Surprise, surprise: "But now “the first anarcho-capitalist president in world history”, as he proclaims himself to be, is “under siege”. His administration has been embroiled in an explosive corruption scandal involving his sister."

Sean Combs got less time than bro who stole a piece of pizza

@adamcancryn.bsky.social This headline shows why we should not trust CNN ever The two parties are NOT the same, and standing strong FOR ONCE, helps democrats. GOP breaks promises and rescinds funds. Why would this be different? By using this headline you intentionally try to confuse readers.

ICE agents dropped onto the roof from helicopters, kicked down doors, deployed flash grenades, and cuffed and detained documented people, undocumented people, and US citizens for hours. Children were zip-tied to one another, separated from their parents, and thrown into the back of U-Haul trucks.
