With inequality at Gilded Age levels and more billionaires than ever, the Republican message is poor people have it too good

Impeach and remove Trump. Immediately.

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot. That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela. Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law. Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like: “Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

From lending someone a hand with their car to giving a simple “thank you” to a cashier, acts of kindness — whether big or small — can have a huge effect on both recipients and givers. https://to.pbs.org/47RLoJd

During the shutdown, the Senate approved adding $32B to Trump's already record breaking $1 trillion Pentagon budget. The Senate still hasn't voted on extending ACA subsidies — which would cost $35B. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Average healthcare costs in the US: Giving birth? $18,000 Cancer treatment? $150,000 One month ICU stay? Between 30k and 150k. That’s not including copays, deductibles, interest and all the other hoops you have to jump through. Cost in Canada? $0. Cost in the UK? $0. Cost in Australia? $0.

Adelita Grijalva to be sworn in tomorrow at 4 p.m.

Forget Trump's nonsense. Tell Congress to protect our use of voting by mail and voting machines here: https://bit.ly/4lXDWTE #ResistTrump

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone except Pumpkin Spiced Stalin, who on Veterans Day past called his political enemies ‘vermin,’ just like dictators Hitler and Mussolini did. 🤬 To all who served, we are thankful for your service. 🙏

Disgusting.

Still think he cares about YOU?! 👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

Trump’s funding cuts to international efforts to end the global threats of malaria, TB and HIV, will result in millions of preventable deaths. Each death is someone’s son or daughter, husband, wife, parent or friend.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

🚨 BREAKING: @governor.ca.gov just demolished Donald Trump for weaponizing hunger for political gain. #BlueCrew #ResistTrump #TruthWarriors #StandWithNewsom #JusticeForAll

If only We could adopt this in America 🇺🇸. Thinking 🤔 out LOUD….

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

It shouldn’t require a judge to step in for the president to honor his oath.

SNAP provides critical food assistance to more than 42 million people, including children, seniors, and veterans, and it will run out of funds on November 1st. A statement from CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social on the Trump-Vance admin’s weaponization of this program during the gov shutdown:

As millions of Americans lose food assistance in this shutdown, the president could act — but won’t. Why? Because he wants the pain. This isn’t governing. It’s moral decay. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

The White House is illegally refusing to use reserve funds to pay for SNAP benefits and Donald Trump is fully aware of this. Don’t be gaslit, the money is there, but Trump refuses to prioritize the needs of American citizens because his main concern is a ballroom. Trump doesn’t care about you.

FACT: Donald Trump could end the shutdown now, but he doesn’t care if people go hungry or lose their health insurance. Trump wants to blame Democrats, but this is a REPUBLICAN shutdown!

If you can — volunteer, donate, feed someone 🩷 “Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.”—Ryonosuke Satoro

In psychology, when someone has to have ballrooms, arches and big buildings lined with gold trim, the big blustering ego tells us that deep down, the person actually is very small. When it’s extreme behaviour, always the opposite in the subconscious. Trump is an empty and very sick man.

I like how Joe Biden never demanded that I pay his legal bills.

Swear her in you cowards.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Arizona A.G. Kris Mayes explains why she is suing Mike Johnson for not swearing Adelita Grijalva into office. "By not swearing her in he's depriving 813,000 Arizonans of representation. That's called taxation without representation. We fought a revolutionary war over that."

Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."

Political gridlock in Washington has a real-world cost, and our veterans are forced to pay the price. A government shutdown cuts them off from job support, creates severe financial hardship, and disrupts the honors they are owed at national memorials. #DonaldTrumpsShutdown

I had the privilege of serving in combat with outstanding female soldiers. When I chose my team for missions, I wanted only the best and that naturally meant having women on my teams. To disrespect the contributions and sacrifices of so many puts a stain on our military that is unforgivable.
