It is true every day, but days like today just are huge reminders that for all it's many and varied faults this country was always great and it deserves better than what it's political branches give it in return

Just re-upping this. Billionaire Leon Black, along with billionare Leslie Wexner, are both still alive. Both gave MILLIONS to Epstein. We really don't know why. (Oh, we know.) www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/b...

"Mr. President sir the idea is you're constantly flying around in a big jet filled with your own shit in it. Like human shit. Anyways you're wearing a little crown in your little shitmobile and you're dumping the shit out. I think people will like it."

DC J6: 1.500 arrests DC No Kings: zero Tell me again which side is violent?

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

🚨 ✊🏼Tucson takes to to the streets for NO Kings October 18th 2025. 🚨1/2

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Andrew Cuomo: taxpayers should pay for $60 million in legal bills for my sexual harassment allegations Also Andrew Cuomo: $60 million is too much money to spend on a pilot program to deliver cheaper groceries

Seeing people say that "by the numbers" Stancil is right about No Kings being bigger than the civil rights mvt. But no. That's not how any of this works. It's like saying I'm a bigger organizer than Greta Thunberg because I'm taller. It's not technically true, it's just stupid.

MCCALLUM: “Margaret Thatcher said socialism’s great until you run out of other people’s money.” 🔥ZOHRAN: “Cuomo had $900 million and gave it to Elon musk in tax credits— I wish the debate were like NASCAR so people could see logos of billionaires who sponsor him on his jacket.”

The Speaker of the House thinks a naked bike ride is terrorism. This is a sentence I never thought I’d write when I got a degree in professional writing for journalism.

Man I definitely have to wonder if Usha ever sees JD out there defending the Hitler Youth by saying they’re just kids goofing around and thinks hm, this could end kinda bad for me and the kids or if she’s just like slay queen your eyeliner looks great today.

Shorter Mike Johnson: Beating up a woman isn’t “really serious.”

Second article of impeachment of Richard Nixon: “He has endeavoured…to cause, in violation of the constitutional rights of citizens, income tax audits or other income tax investigations to be intitiated or conducted in a discriminatory manner.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 73 out of the last 85 days. Epstein Shutdown.

Imagine telling these men that morning in the landing craft that 80 years later their grandkids would be putting the swastika up in their offices in Congress

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

what is happening

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency. Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops. We can see where this is going.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense. www.newsweek.com/jb-pritzker-...

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

“Swear her in! Swear her in!” #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois. We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

C-SPAN caller from Missouri to Missouri Rep. Mark Alford: "I hope you, sir, as an elected official, will think of the people who are in nursing homes, their parents are in nursing homes, their Medicaid is going to be cut. What is going to happen to Missourians whose hospitals are gonna close?"

“The Founders would never believe that it would ever come to pass that one state militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution” THAT PART! Thank you, Judge Perry.

C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it."

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum: "Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

GOV. PRITZKER: “This is a convicted felon threatening to jail me? He’s an unhinged, insecure wannabe dictator. Come and get me.”

Pritzker is meeting the moment and if he stands up for the people, stands up against Trump's rein of terror, holds ICE accountable, he can elevate himself as a front runner for Dem leadership. Now is the moment for leaders, not cowards.

😕 Here’s the video again: www.instagram.com/reel/DPi9m_2...

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square. Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files. Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Exceptional essay from @brianbeutler.bsky.social: "If the politics of tyranny were self-discrediting, we wouldn't need mantras like 'never again.'" "Despotism doesn’t impose itself on everyone all at once. It creeps inward from the margins of society." www.offmessage.net/p/the-median...

SEN. KENNEDY: “.. it’s not up to the president. I mean, his opinion matters, but Congress has got to appropriate the money. Read the Constitution.” 🤡 @mediaite.com www.mediaite.com/politics/rep...
