If your flight is canceled and you no longer want to take the trip, or have found another way of getting to your destination, the airline is legally required to refund your money, even if you bought a non-refundable ticket. You can thank Pete Buttigeg.

If anyone needed another reminder of how deeply unpopular the Trump-MAGA Republican agenda is, tonight was the night. But we cannot relent and we cannot become complacent. The midterms are right around the corner.

Social Security is so dependable because millions of working Americans have built a system that has delivered earned benefits on time for 90 years. Protect our checks!

You’ve seen the headlines: This battery breakthrough is going to change the electric vehicle forever. And then silence. @wired.com talked to experts about what’s really going on in EV batteries. Which tech is here? Which will be but isn’t yet? What’s not coming? www.wired.com/story/the-ev...

Did you know that the GOP Congress has worked less than 20 days since July? Yet we’re still paying their full salary.

Respect to Biden here- he focused on common ground. - love of family. For those who don’t know- Cheney profited off war. @ $39.5billion off the Iraq war alone by some accounts. No doubt- He saw himself as a patriot committed to public service. Biden is a true patriot and gentleman to the end.

KRISTOF: “Trump lost the trade war to China… We Americans may have lost not just a trade war but a chunk of our global credibility and influence for years to come, in ways that would be seen globally as a harbinger of American decline.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o...

Memphis TN!

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

From Lawrence O'Donnell: The Convicted FElon's approval numbers are as low as they were after the J6 insurrection, only 37% approval. The Majority of Americans disapprove of everything that he is doing. The economy, immigration, tariffs, use of ICE & national guard, healthcare & so on.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

This is brilliant

Fact for today: Canada has climbed from 4th to 2nd in the latest international reputation rankings. The US has dropped dramatically, from 30th to 48th among the 60 top economies. Switzerland ranks first, Russia last. The rankings are often a factor in country investment decisions.

“Permanent Standard Time (not springing ahead in March) could prevent 300,000 cases of stroke per year and lower nationwide prevalence of obesity by 2.6 million.” #DitchDST

Nailed it.

A lot is happening right now. Make a note to yourself to remember, heading into the midterm elections in a year, that GOP senators & reps asking you to vote for them were willing to starve their constituents—your friends, family, maybe even you—for Trump.

A million Americans died from Covid. Denial doesn't make those deaths go away. We should have a day of remembrance for those souls, not bury the truth.

I don’t understand how anyone is still telling themselves this will all be fine. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-b...

Over one million veterans and their families rely on SNAP benefits, as do families of hundreds of thousands of active duty troops, reservists, and Guardsmen. Whether Trump surrenders and follows the Judge's order will directly affect them.

Enough said!

Canada says “elbows up.” I say for America, “cameras out.” Film every last one of these brutal criminals. We will need the evidence for their trials.

The Air Force One trip is his 13th visit to his Palm Beach country club since he returned to office and brings his taxpayer funded golf total to $60.7 million.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

If you really want to hurt farmers and ranchers... get rid of SNAP. We keep talking about how doing so would let millions of Americans go hungry. But, we're forgetting that when we fed those millions of Americans, we're keeping our ag community working.

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)

Grandparents lived in a time when measles and polio were common and terrifying. We were grateful vaccines kept our children safe so they didn't have to suffer as many did. Now, we are speaking up to ensure they understand these diseases have serious consequences. Join us & share your story.

A quick reminder that the House is not in session because Speaker Johnson CANCELED it, not because of the current shutdown.

Yes. This can happen to you. Rule of law matters.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants. Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

"This is a moment that demands a response. If Dems can’t run on a unified platform that centralizes and prioritizes taxing the ultrawealthy in order to dismantle their stranglehold on our govt, then they need to get out of the way for people who will." Read more: bit.ly/4ohxXLq #TaxBillionaires

Asking for a friend…..

The Consumer Product Safety Commission just scrapped a table saw safety rule that could have prevented amputation injuries and saved over $2B in healthcare costs a year. This comes months after Trump fired all three Democratic CPSC members. "Make America Safe Again."

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 12 days of work in over 3 months. 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's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

We must stand united against billionaires who want to destroy Social Security. We need to make the rich pay their fair share so we can keep our Social Security benefits and offices open.

Uh?????? No.

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

ICE deportation to India, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. 45 tortuous hours in shackles. And this followed an Alexandria LA to Baltimore and back aborted attempt the day before. Horrible.

We have the money to pay our military! What we don’t have is a Republican party willing to negotiate policy details - aka- do their jobs. Shutdowns are expensive. Save $$$$; get back to work!!!!

Pass it on.

Tesla Recalls Almost 13,000 Vehicles Due to Battery Pack Defect www.thedrive.com/news/tesla-r...

Due to Trump’s failed leadership (his pervious quote), the government shutdown has now reached day 21. Federal employees and their families across the country are struggling, many forced to take out personal loans just to pay their bills, and soon turning to food banks to eat.
