I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Am I the only person who thinks it's not merely a coincidence that the likes of Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are preparing for societal collapse with their underground bunkers, while they help government dismantle all social safety nets, leaving the rest of us to die off?

Jeffries: "It's unbelievable that for 7 plus weeks Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has been denied the ability to serve more than 800,000 people in Arizona because Republicans are running a pedophile protection program."

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

Trump is the worst "human" in American history. But do you know who is worse than the worst human in American history? Those who capitulate to him.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country. Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. The solution: Medicare for All.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

“This was a very very bad vote”

Evangelical Christian "logic".

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

The Republicans don't want Americans to have health care. They have NO plan!!!

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

When you desperately want to starve Americans:

When you want to convey a shrug, but are too old and frail to lift the shoulders.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

BREAKING: MAMDANI HAS WON according to Decision Desk

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

NOT A GOOD NIGHT FOR PRESIDENT SHITPANTS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

I seriously just want to slap the fuck out of him. Then I want to slap every single person who caves to him and covers for his lies.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

SQUEAKER Johnson Needs To Seat Adelita Grijalva For Her More Than 700,000 Constituents, Even If It Means Releasing The Epstein Files.......

Obama: "It's like every day is Halloween, except it's all tricks and no treats. And here's the thing -- it's not as if we did not see some of this coming. I mean, I'll admit it's worse than even I expected, but I did warn y'all. And you know what? Donald Trump warned you too."

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Every single dipshit that pretended Trump was anti-war should shut the fuck up forever and be launched into the sun.

I'm doing something right.

The reason 42 million Americans are on SNAP is because employers aren’t paying living wages.

Men who are willing to do whatever it takes to gain power over others are morally unfit to wield that power. In Germany, Nazis are called right-wing extremists. In America, Nazis are called Republicans.

Ummmm, the GOP is in charge of all branches of government.

Republicans are robbing Americans healthcare for their own $3.4 Trillion tax cuts

The entire Trump regime has been engaged in a massive crime wave since day 1 and everybody knows it including them.
