Any politician who votes to give more of our tax money to the grifters who have already gotten too much deserves to be primaried into the sun

Seriously? He has no idea how insurance works or how to govern. I’ll never get over 77 million people thinking a man this incompetent belongs anywhere near the Oval Office.

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...

It’s truly a loss today. First time since 1948, the government didn’t collect information on unemployment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6isk...

Heck — we’re led by a political party that decided, in recent years, to paint a shorthand term for corporate social responsibility as a dirty word! Sure, Musk is sui generis. But the problem isn’t just Musk.

Congressional Budget Office hacked by suspected foreign entity: report

The goddamn nerve of Jeff Bezos' newspaper to talk shit about raising the minimum wage at a moment when workers at Jeff Bezos' online superstore -- who are paid so little half of them in one study were on SNAP benefits -- are going hungry. The fucking arrogance.

They never say this “liquid” bullshit when it comes to tax cuts for the rich or wars or giving money to their friends (in Argentina) etc See through it

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Heritage president Kevin Roberts is on the board of a nonprofit (SLI) led by Nate Fischer who separately launched a venture in 2023 w/ Raw Egg Nationalist who “has a history of posting swastikas & other Nazi imagery,” which Fischer has called “ironic trolling” rather than “genuine Nazi belief” 1/

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

What fucking world is this demented Grampa living in?

Like his grandmother is Diane Mitford/Osley of the Mitford sisters including unity who was so distraught that England declared war on her hero (Adolf Hitler) she shot herself survived, suffered then died

Great idea to make an amoral racist adult child the richest person in the universe.

A trillion dollars is one thousand billion dollars; a billion dollars is one thousand million dollars. Minimum wage has stayed seven dollars & twenty-five cents since 2009. All of this is a choice made repeatedly. Our self destruction is deliberate and it is well funded.

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.” A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

Fantastic thread.

Ridiculous people.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

Once upon a time, the richest Americans worried that if conditions got bad enough all the poors might just rise up against them, and so they avoided getting *too* obvious with their exploitation. Today's crop just brags about it.

See here:

I despise this man.

Middle school tawdry. About right

I am taking stock of what brings me joy. @chefjoseandres.bsky.social and his daughters in Spain is my secret indulgence. His exuberance, joy, and his love of the landscape and his daughters is joy. Grateful for this respite.

Obama was incredibly short-sighted. Good to see Mamdani building on the organizing base. Smart move.

One of the least remarked parts of Mamdani's speech yesterday was its strong implication that he wants his army of 100k volunteers to stick around and do stuff.

Endless lies 🤥 - brought to you by corporations who won’t pay a living wage

A clarification

New study finds more generous state safety net policies w/ fewer administrative barriers are linked to better birth outcomes, esp for marginalized groups. Very relevant finding in current policy environment! doi.org/10.1016/j.so... @gabeschwartz.bsky.social @npwf.bsky.social @donmoyn.bsky.social

$7 billion, you say? 🤔

Again, these maps have got to be causing a massive panic in any state where they're considering gerrymandering.

The electorate is pissed

Same.

Does anyone have Virginia turnout numbers vs 2020 or 2024?

The Illinois legislature had passed the “Illinois Bivens Act,” allowing people to sue ICE agents in state court. Just waiting for Pritzker’s signature. dailynorthwestern.com/2025/11/03/c...

This one shouldn't get lost tonight.

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

ah yes, aristocracies — known the world over for their innovation, flexibility and capacity to meet new challenges

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger. Gen Z women aren't playing around.

I’m glad the defense is challenging this important point. That damn sandwich did NOT “explode”! (I am imagining the cross being conducted in Pesci’s voice a la My Cousin Vinny 😂)

Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.

I was just trying to figure out what this unfamiliar emotion was. A vague memory from the distant past.

I wonder if this is the reason he knows nothing about anything going on? Hmmm…

JFC.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 60% of the US can’t come up with $500 for an emergency car repair, so this tracks

Easy entry into the self-awareness hall of fame
