I’m fine with the GOP taking eight week paid vacations provided they are willing to legislate eight week paid vacations for all of us. And I hope that the Democrats would support that. Instead, the GOP is simply trying to eliminate our healthcare and starve us.

it is darkly humorous that after all these years, the Republican health insurance plan ends up being to end health insurance

Mamdani embodies a pro-Palestinian politics that truly distinguishes between the state of Israel and the Jewish people, and truly takes antisemitism seriously as its own problem. That makes him a threat to those who want to absolutely conflate antisemitism and anti-Zionism, whether the ADL or WoL.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt? He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

In 2001, terrorists tried to destroy the White House with a hijacked plane. 24 years later, the president of the United States accepted a plane from people funding terrorists and destroyed the White House himself.🔄

I am so grateful for every week I get to work in this terrible profession and I also feel constant heartburn about what a mess it is. Strong statement from the News Guild on the absurd firings at Conde: www.nyguild.org/post/stateme...

Well that got intense - you can see CBP threatening to mace someone and also threatening to teargas them on 22nd and Sawyer. CPD had about 40 bodies on the north end of the street guarding the feds.

Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino was walking in Waukegan, Illinois, when residents followed and shouted, “You’re a bitch!”

Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced Illinois is launching a new initiative to document abuses by federal agents — calling out ICE and CBP for targeting people of color and dodging accountability. “We’re going to have to keep a record. These people need to be held accountable.”

Dem chairwoman of rural Crawford County PA, Lindsey Scott, talking about they kept chasing their voters till polls closed on Tuesday, deploying door knockers all day and achieving a record-high vote total for mayor. Inspiring stuff, all planned and executed locally. A lot to learn from.

Now if the rest of the country would wake up like New Yorkers...and realise when big money supports a candidate that candidate sure as hell ain't gonna support you.

Bahhahaha we won again!!!! Fuck yea! Keep making noise

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

There’s gonna be a flurry of sandwich throwing now! It’s open-face season!!

Tell me more about ‘Sleepy Joe.’

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough. 25/47

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Congressional Democrats should lead time/limited rotating hunger strikes on the Capitol steps or an alternative location to show solidarity with the 42 million people the GOP wants to starve with SNAP cuts. Show America that the GOP is responsible for this cruelty. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/u...

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Descendants of Norman Rockwell have accused the Trump administration of misrepresenting the painter’s beliefs through unauthorized social media posts of his work aimed at framing the administration's mass deportation agenda with classic American imagery.

With 158 races called, we've got 103 @runforsomething.net wins, nearly a quarter of which are red-to-blue flips.

A daycare. Every day in Chicago. The state is not stopping this. Pritzker’s and Johnson’s cops have ONLY been protecting these assaults so there is so far nothing that is stopping them besides unarmed residents screaming. How many children are technically orphans now @govpritzker.illinois.gov?

Nuremberg anyone?

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.
