We’re gaining ground!

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified. So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life. Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

To all who wryte storyes & poemes, to everyone who doth wryte scriptes & screenplayes, to those who make art of all kyndes, and to those who designe and performe yn daunse, and theatre -- thanke yow. Whethir you make for a few friendes or an audience of millions, thanke yow. You helpe us all.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

That's great! Here's the link to Senator Merkley's YouTube channel and the live feed happening now: www.youtube.com/live/bE37g0m...

The files would have been printed in triplicate, screen shot, and delivered to every Dem in congress back in March.

just looking around at politics everywhere and a HUGE advantage Mamdani has is that he isn't obviously a fucking freak

he’s so cooked. he’s incinerated. he is not fit for human consumption. he is headed right for the compost bin before he makes the house stink. a raccoon is about to start eating him

A free campaign ad for Mamdani.

This is just to say I have bulldozed the East Wing that you were probably hoping to pass down to future generations Well, fuck you it was in the way so inconvenient and so old

Arizona announces they are suing Mike Johnson for refusing to swear in Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva. She is the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

📌 Lie • Blame • Repeat 🐥

as long as we're mad about Nazis in government, did you know the vice president of the United States follows many of the internet's most prominent neo-Nazis and often repeats their rhetoric

Inflatable frog costumes are selling out following the weekend's “No Kings” protests and to counter Trump’s demonization of US cities more broadly. www.wired.com/story/the-lo...

I know it's common to dismiss so many things as "distractions" from the important things we face but I refuse to accept that Trump is literally taking backhoes to the White House and Congress hasn't said a word as an important damn thing. We can be concerned about many things at once.

I'm watching @atrupar.com drop clips of Trump's ramble to GOP Senators and am in awe of how utterly craven they have to be to sit there and nod politely.

Horrifying.

if these signs existed irl they would have been plastered all over fox news

I’ve been writing about politics in some capacity for over 25 years now and it’s still stunning how the mainstream media refuses to tell the public basic truth

Ok If he's so INNOCENT then swear in Congresswoman elect Adelita Grijalva And release the Epstein Files Why is Speaker Johnson so afraid to swear her in? Release the #EpsteinFiles

I'm livid over the destruction of the White House. Why haven't Democrats been yelling about this? How could the Pedofuhrer have the permits, plans and permission to alter a property on the National Historic Register and the nation's home? Are there no Repos who oppose this rash attack? Appalling!

#ReleaseTheTrumpEpsteinList #JusticeForTheVictims

Whether it’s Bill Clinton letting a donor sleep in the Lincoln bedroom or Donald Trump completely demolishing the east wing of the White House, neither president showed proper respect for our nation’s most sacred building.

If Dems can't even immediately and collectively pledge to demolish Trump's White House ballroom and restore the People's House, how are they going to rebuild a liberal democratic government? Today's dark Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/no-kings-a...

Both Lavrov and Peskov have now rejected any ceasefire deal or talks. The media needs to report this clearly and widely. Russia rejects peace. Front-page. Straightforward headlines.

Precisely! The Real Reason For The Shutdown!

See the issue is that Trump ran on releasing on the Epstein files, and Bondi said she had them sitting on her desk ready to go, and then Elon Musk tweeted that Trump was in them and they were suddenly deemed a hoax and Ghislaine was moved to a spa prison, so you can understand the fresh intrigue

Oh man, the New York Young Republicans implicated in the Nazi groupchat scandal ran up a $23,000 tab eating filet mignon and drinking at a hotel in Syracuse -- a city with one of the highest child poverty rates *in the nation* -- and then refused to pay the bill.

It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.

Think they're a tad late. I done pinned it on Pinterest, so...

🚨The White House belongs to all of the American people‼️ This idiot has no right to do this without our consent and approval from our representatives in congress ‼️‼️

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

HEY TO THE DO NOTHING CONGRESS. YOU WERE VOTED IN, SO YOU CAN BE VOTED OUT. INVOKE THE 25TH AMENDMENT NOW. TIME FOR ADOLF TRUMP TO GO WHILE WE STILL HAVE A COUNTRY.

Mike Johnson has given the house a very very very very very very very very very long vacation because he’s worried about the Epstein files

Johnson: I will administer the oath to Rep-elect Adelita Grivalva, I hope, on the first day we come back in session. In the meantime, she should be serving her constituents (She cannot serve her constituents until Speaker Johnson swears her in)

Trump Gaza is coming.

The way Mike Johnson lies you would think he’s in the Epstein List. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Curious about the George Santos commutation? This sheet pan Dover sole recipe was submitted by Santos himself, dating back to his time as executive chef of The French Laundry.

This is BY FAR my favorite conspiracy theory of 2025 🥇 Please spread it 🤣

The Epstein files and evidence are what trump uses for leverage. Just by his actions we know he is a child molestor, but so are the people that helped propel him into power. Their names need to be released. It will drain a lot of trump’s power to manipulate others as well aid in removing alliances.

I want to hear the list of names read out in full. I want the perpetrators to feel the terror of being exposed in front of the whole world and for them to know that prison awaits them all.

The Epstein files contain the name of a prominent former PM who brutally beat & sexually assaulted an 18 year old. Trump, Bondi, Patel & Johnson don’t want the world to know his name. That’s why Johnson will have the House adjourned today for the 78th day out of the last 90.

"Frivolity and absurdity are kryptonite to authoritarians..." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/o...

Willful ignorance, indulgent cruelty, rapacious self-interest and self-promotion - these are deeply negative qualities in a human being. The absence of morals or scruples, openness to graft and corruption - these are abhorrent qualities that everyone should recognize makes you unfit for leadership.
