Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Gupta: Could I see his doctor say, “Hey, we’re worried about his neurologic status,” or that they’re seeing something they’re not being clear about with the public, and that prompting MRIs at some every-so-often cadence? Yeah, that would make sense. That would actually be entirely appropriate to do.

I was very happy to discover that all episodes of Ken Burns' newest film, 'The American Revolution" that premiered last night on PBS, are already available on the PBS app, and free to watch for four weeks, ending on Dec. 8th. After that, a PBS Passport is required to watch it.

@kenlburns.bsky.social I could listen to Peter Coyote's voice FOREVER.

I LOVE to listen to Peter Coyote narrate Ken Burns' films. The American Revolution starts tonight on PBS.

Arrests have begun in North Carolina based on profiling. ICE needs to show clear ID before stepping onto private property and asking for proof of citizenship. This homeowner is 🔥

Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

The Trump regime just killed a rule protecting millions of acres of western Arctic lands from fossil fuel drilling. It’s yet another giveaway to Big Oil — which spent $450 million backing Trump and Republicans and lobbying Congress last year. Watch: https://youtu.be/aDQXiNlM5iM?si=nZag1nV9sKC_JStQ

Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes. They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets. They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability. There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

This is a better answer than I gave on The Source to @kaitlancollins.bsky.social last night.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs. So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract. Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

Absolutely. The far right took over the GOP through the long process of taking over local and county organizations and the left can do the same. It’s not an instant fix but it actually works.

It is the responsibility of all of us to return the nation to a path that is morally sustainable.

Like you I am celebrating Tuesday's victories. However, my job is not to sugarcoat things and tell you it's all fixed. It is to warning about what to expect next and fight back. That is why I wrote this and why I hope you read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

If anyone needed another reminder of how deeply unpopular the Trump-MAGA Republican agenda is, tonight was the night. But we cannot relent and we cannot become complacent. The midterms are right around the corner.

NEW: Security camera shows crash of UPS Flight 2976 in Louisville, Kentucky

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care. And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

I don't like to speak ill of the dead as I recognize they usually leave behind family members who loved them. But... Dick Cheney better be holding seats in hell for Moscow Mitch, Donald Trump, and every sycophant that supports Trump's regime.

Americans LOVE this program. Here's a FAIR way to EXPAND it. Watch the whole interview w/ Nancy Altman of @socialsecurityworks.org at the link in the comments.

NJ voters: keep on turning out to the Polls today! Some voter suppression BS going on in with bomb threats to Democratic precincts The threats have now been officially determined to be NON CREDIBLE. Voting is perfectly safe, it's a beautiful day, make your choices known!

One of the biggest mergers of the year, worth $49 billion, comes just weeks after the Trump administration linked the common painkiller to autism, which the company is fighting. n.pr/4hIhkGb

When the GOP dismisses SNAP recipients by telling them to 'just get jobs,' they ignore that 70% of those individuals are already employed full-time.

Exciting pick at the right moment

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

These dogs were spotted taking a group photo in their Halloween costumes. We're impressed by the dog walker's dedication to getting the shot, but that ghost definitely wishes he could actually disappear. 14/10 for all (TT: franklinbarkzoo)

FACTS about SNAP: -35% to white people (largest share) -90% to people born in 🇺🇸 -86% to households with kids -70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

Zohran Mamdani is the bright future of the Democratic Party — brimming with excellent ideas about what working families need. I was delighted to chat with him earlier today. If you're a New Yorker, don't forget to cast your vote for him by Tuesday, Nov. 4.

Dr. Marvin Dunn got mad. So he did something about it: he sued to stop the transfer of land from Miami-Dade College to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation. We also discuss why we’ve got to “get in the way” of those who are trying to rewrite our history. youtu.be/1X4mjhroijk?...

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

$360 million. That's how much Americans who were cheated or scammed could have gotten back. But Trump is dropping lawsuits that could have put money back in YOUR pocket. I wrote about what Trump's attacks on the CFPB are costing Americans.

Come hand out pumpkin with us!

Friends — these are terrible times, to be sure. But I believe we will triumph. Here’s why.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
