Pitch perfect 😂

In the Michigan city where Trump held his 100 days rally, voters wait for an economic turnaround - NBC News Trump: “With our tax bill, the average family’s take-home pay will be at least $5,000 more than it was just a couple of months ago." Sure, right 🙄

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

Excellent overview of our crisis of democracy. But how do we get corporate money out of politics and return the power to the people?

Pretty remarkable that Trump has installed someone on the Saudi dole — Jared Kushner collects millions in fees from the Saudis every year — in a key role for America's most sensitive and consequential foreign policy negotiations (Gaza, Ukraine), and it is largely TREATED AS A NON-STORY

steady.substack.com/p/despicable... “Whether you like him [Khashoggi] or didn’t like him, things happen.” Like, shit happens, the ‘70s adage that shrugs off insignificant incidents, like, you know, being murdered and cut up with a bone saw.

Yes! This is what I’ve been waiting for!! 😂

When MTG goes back to her old ways my “I told ya’s” are gonna be lit

YES ‼️

"Quiet, piggy!"

🤣🤣

The only way they can win is by rigging elections.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

A lot of politicians claim to be fighters, but Jon Ossoff has proven his mettle. He continues to fight for Georgians and stand between them and the chaos and damage of the Trump "administration." Let's keep him standing strong in the U.S. Senate. Re-Elect Jon Ossoff U.S. Senate, Georgia

These fucking republicans will stoop lower than whale shit to try to fool voters in order to steal elections. They have no remorse and plan to keep it up. AI should be banned from election ads. Jon Ossoff warned about deepfakes. Now he is one. - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Language buried in this shutdown “deal” allows 8 GOP Senators who tried to throw a coup, sue to get millions in taxpayer money—because Jack Smith got their phone records. THEY TRIED TO THROW A COUP. There is no excuse for any Dem supporting this. This is absolutely wrong. Full stop—Period.

Somehow, those democrats who still have a backbone need to let the American people know that it’s the republican party that is grinding them down under their heels, driving them into crushing poverty with their lack of empathy and indifference to the needs of millions.

Tonight was a very bad night.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

In a functional party system, this kind of capitulation in the face of authoritarianism could mean the end of the Democratic Party. In our system, it could mean the end of the two party system. Neither party can represent the pro-democracy majority. It's time for something new.

None of the Dem Senators (or Democratic-caucusing) who voted yes on the CR are worried about reelection: • Dick Durbin – IL – Retiring 2026 • Catherine Cortez Masto – NV – Up 2028 • Jacky Rosen – NV – Up 2030 • John Fetterman – PA – Up 2028 • Maggie Hassan – NH – Up 2028 1/2

Brand new data: Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!). These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates. Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

🤣🤣 this guy’s hilarious Great burn!

Today is National Family Literacy Day. This year it seems more important than ever to get kids to read and to be curious so we have a future generation of intelligent and intellectually curious adults more likely to have empathy for those different from ourselves!

Excellent tutorial for journalists on how to frame their questions.

These people win Halloween 🎃 👻

Kelly makes an excellent point. Without assistance from the government, we may go back to an average lifespan of 35.

Can anyone stop Trump’s teardown of the East Wing? - The Washington Post If he gets away with this, what will he do next? What if he wants to tear down the White House and build a trump tower in its place? Who’s going to stop him?

Yes indeed!

I love seeing our antifascist allies around the world joining us in solidarity. #NoKings

How the Frog Became a Symbol: He stood alone before the mercenaries, unmoved by their armor and threat. They advanced, and then, seeing no fear in him, they stepped back. Then he danced. He mocked them with the wild thrust and sway of a frog. And so…

Setting aside the fact that in 4 GOP majority states (NV, IA, MT, UT) Dems have 0 Reps despite voting 40% Dem, New England has a district Trump won by 9 and 2 toss-up districts, and Republicans lost all 3 because they ran terrible full MAGA candidates like Karoline Leavitt in NH.

When you show up to protest, stay safe & stay non-violent. It’s also important to retain your sense of humor. One thing fascists don’t have is a sense of humor. They are so angry & negative. So remember your joie de vivre in all you do. There’s a message included in this video from our leader 😳🤣

Yes! Hold all of them accountable.

“No Kings” organizers project a massive turnout for this weekend’s protests - NPR “When asked about the planned protests and accusations that Trump was behaving like a monarch, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson replied, "Who cares?” She had no further comment.” This is who they are.

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals  You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone. And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

Stacey Abrams explaining again what is happening in the country. Day by day we are watching the takeover of this nation. Everyone needs to resist, every business, every college, every home that gets it. We must not bend America‼️

This is the power of grassroots revolution.

Bette Midler is a national treasure 🩷

Yep. I think it’s sinking in for them.

Unbelievable. The hypocrisy is the epitome of republican arrogance.

Don’t say that ICE is “arresting people,” they are abducting people.👇
