a new genre of photo in the last year is federal agents working for ICE pointing guns directly at photographers

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Beautiful.

Every time you capitulate to a bully, they'll come back at you twice as brutally. If you didn't learn this life lesson in third grade, GTFO of the US Senate.

Americans deserve better than the eight Democratic Senators who voted on a promise, without a guarantee, to protect the Affordable Care Act.

This is why it's a bad idea to vote for millionaires. They're working for the 1%, not THE PEOPLE. Enough.

Hundreds of flights out of major airports were delayed Sunday, including in New York, Chicago and Atlanta.

There’s still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. He’s also really upset about this deal.

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

That didn’t take long. @cnn.com @mkraju.bsky.social

The Democratic establishment:

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

I agree.

Veterans Day is Tuesday, and unlike previous years, there will not be honor guards and military service members unveiling American flags, in addition to the lack of a flyover, at the 13 NFL games on Sunday and Monday.

A vile country isn't a country that can't feed its children, a vile country is a country that *won't* feed its children.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president. The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Donald Trump and @jd-vance-1.bsky.social's refusal to provide SNAP benefits to Americans in need isn't just illegal — it's immoral.

What do you call a pair of slimeballs?

I think the funny part of this is how big my circles are. I like food so much! I grew up working class, but my dad was a waiter at a fancy restaurant. So I think that explains it. www.idrlabs.com/food-choice/...

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now. Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it. Don’t forget this.

"Mr. Mamdani will take office on Jan. 1, 2026, with a reservoir of good will. He inspires young people who are cynical about politics. He will be the city’s first Muslim mayor, its youngest mayor in more than a century and its first immigrant mayor since the 1970s." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/o...

A Miss Universe executive singled out and criticized Miss Mexico at an event in Thailand, causing a walkout by her fellow contestants and an international controversy after the video went viral.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

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.

It turns out all those "paid" No Kings protesters were actually pissed off voters huh

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

“We won because we insisted that no longer would politics be something that is done to us. Now it is something that we do.”

They are so good at this.

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.
