A lot of people with SNAP literally went off got certifications, got a job that pays above minimum wage and still qualify. CNAs at the largest employer in my city make $11/hr 🙃

My constituent, Vicente Ventura Aguilar, has been missing for over a month after being snatched by immigration officials in South Los Angeles. Yet, CBP and ICE claim he was never in their custody. I’m demanding answers. Please share this—we must find Vicente.

We did it on the Epstein petition, and we can do it again for healthcare:

Source: CBS News search.app/dFWw1 He's outraged about his phone and wants compensation backed by taxpayers. But isn't upset that millions will go without healthcare because the taxpayers can't afford it. Watch their actions before you listen to their words.

Pelosi: "Trump is the worst president of the United States that American children have ever had in terms of their health, education, a clean, safe environment in which they can thrive - including safety from gun violence - the economic security of their families and a future that is fair and just."

Jeffries: "Republicans are in the midst of an ongoing civil war. Trump is fighting with MTG. Johnson and Thune are fighting with each other. Mills and Mace are fighting with each other. House Rs are strongly disagreeing with Senate Rs. The whole thing on the other side of the aisle is a mess."

Pregnant mothers are facing a human rights crisis in America. A society that abandons its mothers abandons its future—we must demand change!

Swalwell: I am running to be California’s next governor.

Rule of holes. House voted unanimously to dump last minute provision to permit eight senators to sue because Jack Smith, entirely legitimately, got their toll records. Senate apparently determined to revive House Votes to Kill Bill Allowing Senators to Sue Government www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/u...

Murphy: "Congress doesn't work the way it used to. It used to be you could negotiate with Senate Republicans and they would stick to the agreement. Today all that matters is what Trump believes, so you really can't negotiate w/ Republicans bc they are just waiting for Trump to tell them what to do"

To my #BlackSky friends. Take care of yourself. I'm sitting in an ICU praying for my sister who had a major health issue at only 50. Eat well, get exercise. See your doctor. If you can, get a life insurance policy. Just random thoughts.

ICE Gestapo just dumped this guy in the middle of nowhere after they realized he was a US Citizen 🤦🏻‍♀️. I’m going to be LOL for days when Justice comes for these ICE Idiots! #iceout #northcarolina

My hot take: With the BLS saying it will release the Nov jobs report on dec 16, to include Oct payroll data, the fed should either postpone the Dec 9/10 meeting or the bls should figure out a way to get it done earlier. The rate decision hinges critically on the jobs outlook and it’s 2mos of data

Putting out the bat signal for a friend who's on the board of an NGO focusing on eating disorder support/recovery - does anyone have connections with nonprofits, foundations, or electeds in the DC area working in that space?

This, that and a third.

The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

What they won’t tell you is that around 200k people on snap die a month and it take around 30 days for that to catch up. They’re fucking idiots and lying to you!

A federal court just struck down Texas’ mid-decade redistricting as an illegal racial gerrymander—exposing a deliberate attempt to silence Black and Brown voters. This is a powerful stand against modern-day voter suppression. We must keep fighting for fair maps and equal voices!

Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not just the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

"What did Trump think Epstein was 'stealing' these girls for? Epstein did not own a resort hotel. The answer is that he was recruiting them for his sex trafficking operation. The idea that Trump would have had any uncertainty on that point is absurd." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Trump claims his ICE raids are going after the "worst of the worst". But his own DOJ admits that over 97% of immigrants detained in Chicago have no criminal record. It was always about cruelty, not public safety.

Listen… Mike Johnson can claim he never tried to stop this, but the timeline tells the truth. If he wasn’t trying to bury this petition, we wouldn’t have spent weeks begging him to do the bare minimum. Release the files.

Salute to Alejandro Rojas (Alpha Phi Alpha) and Keith Pemberton (Omega Psi Phi) — the only members of their fraternities at Yale — who are standing alone but never standing down. These brothers are standing on the shoulders of giants. Happy Founders Day to the men of Omega Psi Phi!

The president of the United States is a POS

"Homeland security investigators worked approximately 33 percent fewer hours on child exploitation cases from February through April compared to their average in prior years" A tragic shift with real consequences - just one horrifying example:

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not. Watch till the end @housedemocrats.bsky.social @houserepublicans.bsky.social

Michelle Obama: “Don't even look at me about running, because you all are lying. You're not ready for a woman. So don't waste my time. We got a lot of growing up to do.”

“MAGA’s grand poobah, Donald Trump, appears to be, rather clearly, either an actual predator himself or a man perfectly comfortable looking the other way in the presence of such depravity.” - from Zeteo’s First Draft email newsletter this morning, on Trump and Epstein and the fracturing GOP:

53% of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to American democracy. Meanwhile, just 100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion on federal elections last year — a 160-fold increase since Citizens United. The people know: billionaires should not be able to buy our elections.

The DOT also reportedly plans to rescind requirements that airlines disclose junk fees. It's also planning to redefine what flight cancellations would require refunds for passengers. Both Delta and United gave $1 million to the Trump inauguration fund. Everything is for sale.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

After enduring the pain of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, millions of working Americans are seeing their healthcare premiums skyrocket. This was avoidable. 🧵

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. When will party leadership learn this lesson?

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.
