Messaging 😤... this isn't about Diaper Don (even if politically it is). Its about uncovering a massive child rape cartel, where or to whom it shifted after Epstein, who's involved, and how Congress can legislate to fix it!! Hammer that daily. "We're trying to protect the kids" Watch Rs squirm!!

Its the arrogance that gets me. In olden days when a party leader led his cacus out to pasture (to the minority) that was it. You were no longer the leader and/or you retired. Now, they hang around and act like they deserve to stay in charge. Fault or not, you lost the senate. Youre done bro!!

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:

Let's go folks. Do not give into despair. We have wolves in and out of the house as evidenced by yesterday's Democratic capitulation. We always knew this tho, so let's replace them where we can. Removing the legacy Congressman Fitzpatrick is part of that!

The senate Ds caving on opening the govt is a gut punch. Yes, it gets ppl fed and back to work and thats good. But it also, bails out Rs, will allow them to shift blame + i cant shake feeling this was a Thune/Schumer special. No end to filibuster b/c neither party really wants change!

l.smartnews.com/p-6yxNWRiw/p... Time to organize primary opponents where we can. Its not okay for our elected officials to just ignore its base time and time again!! They are part of the problem.

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.

Republicans were apparently so shamed by this speech in the NC Senate that they voted to erase it from the record. It’s such a moving speech.

Due to an overwhelming response, we're making virtual passes available for "History Has Its Eyes On Us" on November 18. Join me, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and @hcrichardson.bsky.social for a conversation about the history we're living through and how we can all shape our country's future. bit.ly/OT-LV

you are missing incredible things on X

While we're waiting to watch (eep, I hope) a new generation sweep into political power -- in some cases, against the wishes of Democratic elders -- here's the piece I published yesterday on the party's gerontocracy:

Pennsylvania says: #NoKingsInAmerica 💙🇺🇸👀

This is how a real President is supposed to act

#ResistanceRoots Caroline Still Anderson was born on this day in 1848 in Philadelphia. She is recognized as one of the first African American women to become a physician in the U.S. She dedicated her career to serving the African American community as a physician, educator and social activist. /1

Love to see it….tourists that are stuck in Jamaica are helping with the cleanup after Hurricane Melissa 💪

Recall when we had a president who was a decent human being? Seems so remote and novel now.

🔥 COACH SULLY: “Let’s see what $4.3 TRILLION looks like when each party gets their hands on it… the oligarchs are laughing all the way to the bank (with Republicans)…”

A writer tried dating alt-right men as an experiment to learn about them. There is so much going on here I don't even know where to start www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/...

Pennsylvania’s largest newspaper urged Pennsylvanians to vote YES to retain the three state Supreme Court justices in a scathing editorial on the danger of conservatives and billionaires seizing power over the PA court, like they did in Washington.

Ok, this is a lot. 😮‍💨 But he’s one HUNDRED percent on point both on content and appropriateness of tone. @pearlmania500.bsky.social

🚨BREAKING: 3rd Circuit DENIES Republican Party petition to rehear critical voting rights case involving Pennsylvania’s date requirement for mail-in ballots. A BIG VICTORY for the DSCC, DCCC, AFT of Pa. and the voters of Pennsylvania. Proud on my ELG team. www.democracydocket.com/cases/pennsy...

This Is Fascism

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.) Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless. And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

Let's go!! Say it wit ya chest Mr. Governor. Being proactive is better than reactive. In Court, Ripeness may be an issue but the point is clear just the same. FAFO

This teacher! 🥹 ❤️@laniatheartist.bsky.social

Philadelphia on track to record the lowest number of homicides in 20 years

This is frightening 🫣

Brilliant work @schiff.senate.gov Dont give arsonists the oxygen they need to create more fires. Instead, highlight their misdeeds and show all who care to see just how culpable they are.

🔊 ALL HANDS ON DECK. 🆘🇺🇸

If "states' rights" mean anything, they must include the right to not get invaded by another state in peacetime. Americans everywhere: Speak up and stand against Trump's outrageous assaults on Illinois and Oregon. gov-pritzker-newsroom.prezly.com/gov-pritzker...

Father David Gierlach on the need for America to face the two original sins of its founding—the genocide of Native Americans and the enslavement of Africans. Only by facing ourselves can we truly move forward as a nation.

Just received. Will report back shortly.

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

Some critical context about Trump's troops to "war-ravaged Portland" that most folks don't know: Any conflicts there between protesters and ICE agents are happening because ICE agents ARE PROVOKING THEM (From that "radical left-wing group," the Portland Police Department) bsky.app/profile/mock...

Concerning …

Brian Fitzpatrick had a chance to vote to extend ACA tax credits earlier this year. He took a walk. Now, Fitzpatrick has abandoned working families once again - leaving DC while Pennsylvanians face skyrocketing costs. Fitzpatrick is to blame for this. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture is nearly a decade old, and celebrating an anniversary this month. Thank you to the @nmaahc for showing us all why *real* history matters.

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Black Excellence!! I know plenty non-black teachers also meet their students where they are so no freak outs please. Just celebrate this Queen for the moment (and share others if you have them)

Black women are being hit hard by the Trump layoffs and firings: ‘It chips away at morale and self-worth’

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Why is the right so angry? They control the entire government and they’re still miserable f*cks. Joy Reid nailed it.

The UN has officially held that Israel is committing GENOCIDE. Never again is now. Across the board.

Disgusting response by any employer, but especially so for a supposed "News Publication". The "system" ain't saving us. The "system" is quite okay with a methodical rolling back of rights and privileges. "The better to control you with my dears". We must get ready and stay ready in all ways.

Use of the word "evil" in official congressional e-newsletters, over time, by party

Whoa.
