Maine became the twenty-second state to adopt a “red flag” law for regulating guns, with the approval of nearly 59 percent of voters. The policy follows the worst mass killing in the state’s history.

Minnesota Senator @amyklobuchar on Trump’s failure to bring Congress to the table on the shutdown: “You wrote the art of the deal. Show us your stuff.”

When you desperately want to starve Americans:

As our friends at the Corrales Library put it—libraries are more than just books, they are a true commons, a great equalizer, and a gathering place that brings people together. At a time when so much is on the line—we must contribute to support our libraries and the important stories they hold!

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.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)

Ice agents crashing into US citizens then forcibly detaining them. They don’t know how to hold guns. They clearly don’t have any training. They obviously aren’t following the laws. This is embarrassing for our country and dangerous for our citizens.

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

@carladenyer.bsky.social The government is propping up the declining oil and gas industry by giving oil and gas producing companies massive tax breaks – to the tune of £2.7 billion every year. These same companies have paid billions of £s to their #shareholders greenparty.org.uk/2025/11/04/g...

lol. lmao.

Those of you that can, get out and vote. We have several races to win. Goodluck.

Happy Zohran Day to all who celebrate!!

Why do people buy pizza with EBT? Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money. It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

Kamala Harris: It is about reminding folks that we refuse to kneel at the foot of a tyrant. That's not what we do. We stand for the principles upon which our nation was founded. We believe in the power of the vote, and we are prepared when necessary to fight fire with fire.

Kristi Noem claims that ICE has not detained or arrested any US citizens. We're calling BS.

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here. And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers “just following orders” should not be exempted.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office. Why the delay from Mike Johnson? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

Sadly true.

FACT: In July, Marsha Blackburn voted for the largest cut to SNAP in the history of the program. Now, 700,000 TN children, seniors & people w/ disabilities are going to miss meals and she’s pretending to care b/c she’s running for Governor. She thinks your too dumb to remember

Every church should be doing this, and if your church isn’t, you’re at the wrong church.

Poor people should be allowed cookies Disabled people should be allowed cookies Kids whose parents are on SNAP should be allowed cookies No one is being given “extra” money for the odd treat They’re sacrificing something else Let them have the treat. Life is hard enough.

#Truthbomb “Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, you know? And maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally.” DT

Land strikes would mark a dangerous escalation in the administration's illegal acts of war against Venezuela. The Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war, not the president. Congress must intervene now. https://bit.ly/4qAT9NZ

FACTS about SNAP: -35% to white people (largest share) -90% to people born in 🇺🇸 -86% to households with kids -70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

It’s truly wild how dumb he thinks we all are

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more. That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs. It looks a lot more like preparation for war. Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

Speaker Johnson needs to stop being on vacation, admit that Americans need healthcare assistance, strike the draconian health cuts from the ugly budget bill, and get back to work so he can swear in Arizona's newly elected Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us. And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” John Adams, born on this day in 1735

I’m heartbroken to learn that two New Yorkers have drowned as a result of today’s torrential rain and flooding. Their families and loved ones are in my thoughts tonight. This kind of sudden and intense rain has become the new normal—and our infrastructure isn’t prepared for it.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

If you’re in the Baltimore area, and need to cut food costs, there’s a program run by Catholic Charities called Share Food. It’s basically a bulk buying & volunteer packing community that gets you a 50% discount on groceries. I used the Denver version for years, and never saw any proselytizing.
