This is just setting the stage for more cuts to Social Security down the line, too.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “They’re talking about getting rid of the Voting Rights Act — that may likely happen in months… they’re rewriting history… ANTI-WOKE IS ANTI-BLACK… we’re not doing enough. We’re not calling this out.” Full: youtu.be/H5_tNkzX1yg?...

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Wait until he hears that Reagan didn't trust the Russians.

The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

Budapest this afternoon. This is an anti-Orbán protest.

My maternal great grandparents emigrated to America from Hungary. I have been so very dismayed by what Orban has done there, but this gives me great hope for them.

For example: The people of Little Village showed the nation what courage looks like: standing unarmed, united, & unafraid in the face of ICE’s tear gas & violence. They protected their neighbors, not with weapons, but with peaceful & fierce solidarity.

Unconscionable

No need to leave; a general strike would achieve the same thing

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone? Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate. They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

@govandybeshear.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov @governorwalz.mn.gov @govpritzker.illinois.gov Time to start a trend. There is no reason on earth that a RICH person should not pay their FAIR share.

Sadly, we no longer live in a functioning democracy.

There are no plans for the ballroom

What’s the point of the law if it’s completely ignored???

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

This fills me with rage and gut wrenching sorrow. How do we come back from this?

Across the nation, federal workers are turning to food banks and taking on second jobs as missed paychecks continue.

Project 2025 is finally on full display and God has zero to do with it.💀☠️👺💩

This is located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, close to Fullerton and Sheffield. It's a densely populated area near DePaul University. I'm pleased to see the community standing up against these despicable individuals.

💯

This is the energy you need to bring ICE and all fascists, this is what everyone should be doing. In a world full of compliers be the polka dot lady. #3E

“Medical staff did not give her any food, water, or pain medication for several hours. Much later that evening, after a significant loss of blood, Lucia was transported to an emergency room approximately an hour away, with her arms and legs shackled.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The Affordable Care Act became law in 2010 Since then, Republicans tried to repeal, replace, defund and overturn it NEVER did they offer a viable alternative to it Now-as health insurance costs are exploding-they’re terrified Because it threatens their hegemony over the American body politic

That’s a trillion dollar increase in two months.

Burchett is Burchetting again.

WTF This is f*cking madness

More on deaths in the trump camps. It doesn’t matter if they do hire more health workers. Abducting people and allowing them no due process is going to lead to death, slavery, abuse, the list of horrors goes on. Who knows what will happen to these people. 🥲💔 www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Health insurance costs jumped for workers & employers in 2025. This will get worse if the GOP refuses to extend ACA subsidies. Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024. Still not sure we need Medicare for All?

This is the clearest way to explain it.

Mike Johnson doesn't know sh*t

Corporate media is completely ignoring the dangers of The SAVE Act. Here's what you need to know about this attempt to gut voting rights, particularly for tens of millions of women in America, and how we need to fight back to protect our democracy. www.qasimrashid.com/p/how-the-sa...

While the government is shut down & Trump is paying for his $250M Ballroom, federal workers are having to go to food donation centers to survive. How is this America first?

Does the Speaker of the House know what's going on in the country? It's not clear that he does, as Mike Johnson's communication strategy seems to rely heavily on being unaware. When faced with questions he should be able to answer, he has a reliable response: "I don't know."

Trump and Bessent are going to cost us billions, continuing to pour our money into the bottomless pit of Argentina’s economic woes. I guess we don’t need the money in the US.

Elizabeth Warren: "Genuinely, I don't know what's happened to the Republicans in the Senate. It's as if they have all had their spines surgically removed. They only do what Donald Trump tells them to do. So if Donald Trump tells them to sit down and negotiate, then they will sit down and negotiate."

Paul Ingrassia is not fit to serve in public office. President Trump must withdraw his nomination.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare. And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”
