If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

Since I’m getting “what did I miss” from alot, Paramount Plus, owner of CBS spiked the El Salvador CECOT prison story yesterday on 60 minutes because it made the White House look bad. Cancel paramount plus Censorship. Bari Weiss

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement. #NoWords 🤮

U.S. pals: Do. Not. Donate. To. Salvation. Army. There are better charities out there. Much better.

The White House continues to make our work harder. They’ve: ✂️ Cut funding for transportation and education 👎 Effectively told families in poverty “you’re on your own” ❌ Presided over the longest government shutdown in history 🚨 Failed to act after Western Maryland was hit by a devastating storm.

The US government is now a mafia organization.

Rewatched some Star Trek tonight. Still wild how a show about warp drives and weird nebulae ends up teaching the cleanest lessons about being human. Every episode says the same thing in its own way: ‘Be curious. Be brave. …Try not to fire phasers unless you really have to.”

We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

"War is peace."

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power. It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

A new mural has appeared in Ternopil, dedicated to children killed in Russia’s attack. The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”

If what Miller says is true, why does research consistently show that immigrants (including the undocumented) commit fewer crimes than U.S.-born citizens?

The client of the public school is not the parent, but the entire community, the public The Public School Is The Best Defense Of A Democratic Nation #education #publicschools #society

The House takes 2 months off & finally reports back to work & promptly spends the next week filing censure motions against each other & attending black tie dinners w/Saudis while the clock counts down for 24 million people to have their health insurance premiums spike in 42 days.

Every outlet worth a damn should be calling this out. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

This is bullshit! What are the charges? 📌 Border Patrol arrested two women for allegedly honking their car horn to alert others of the agents’ presence

🤬🤬

#GVerse Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social just walked onto a plane full of veterans & thanked every single one of them: no stage, no teleprompter, no ego trip. #MyPresidentBarackObama 🫡🇺🇸 Hit the like, & repost to show your love for this man, a true American Hero! #VeteransDay

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Oh, so he totally stole the money

This. 👇 Many states, you can only vote in the primary if you belong to the party.

Again: This entire shutdown fight is one big advertisement for #MedicareForAll Making a broken system less bad is not a real answer and never was.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal". But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate. Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him And they should, given this is his fault.

I'd like for someone in the dem caucus to tell us which senators were real no votes and which ones voted no because they were allowed to.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Any Democrat who "trusts" notoriously deceitful Republicans to keep their word on an ACA vote deal is too naive/stupid to be in office. Let's fix that next time they are up for election. #PrimaryTheIdiots

It should be that simple.

I am your constituent. DO NOT FOLD. @booker.senate.gov @kim.senate.gov

DO NOT CAVE!

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

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?"
