Thanksgiving didn't begin as a festive holiday with feasting. It began as a solemn day of fasting, changing over time into the holiday we have today. Our many successes in our local races this year warrants a break from politics and a day of rest. #Thanksgiving Narration @ historywithpapag

"Don't tell me what your value. Show me your budget, and I'll tell you what you value." -- President Joe Biden Notice how nobody in the Trump regime ever asks, “But how will we pay for it?” when it comes to priorities that benefit them? #MoneyForMeButNotForThee #Priorities Credit @ Robert Reich

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true? HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart-- KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

This morning, President Obama welcomed an Honor Flight of veterans and their families to the Capitol. Words alone cannot adequately express our gratitude for their service, but appreciative words and a handshake from a President is a start. 🇺🇲 #VeteransDay

In case you find yourself in a debate over what the big bad S word means with someone who clearly doesn't understand what Democratic Socialism actually is, here are some facts to share. Socialism... spooky. 👻 Yeah, Halloween was last week. #SocialismIsntWhatYouThinkItIs OG ➡️ @ jayneconverse3

"No More King" was the first episode of Season 3 of Schoolhouse Rock! That season, which coincided with the American Bicentennial, ran from 1975 until 1976 on ABC and was actually named America Rock. America will not bow now nor ever to a king. #AmericaHasNoKing #NoKings

No one in the GOP racist chat was a “kid,” JD. Those facts have been verified. JD would like you to do anything but pay attention to those abhorrent leaked texts from young Republicans that Politico covered Tuesday. They learned it somewhere. Credit: @corey.marshallsteele #UnfitToLead

That one time when Hegseth at the Pentagon tried to force media outlets to sign a loyalty pledge for press access and nearly everyone refused, even MAGA outlets Fox News and Newsmax. 🤦‍♂️ We'll see if SCOTUS remembers which Amendment comes 1st. #Unconstitutional #BananaRepublic Credit: @fubarpac

We at the LEO are as unsurprised as Governor Hochul at yesterday's release of hateful messages. In this age of hyperpartisan tribalism fueled by dehumanizing speech, the cost of doing one's elected job is to receive death threats on a regular basis. 1/6

Understanding basic debate and public messaging strategies such as the "dead cat" strategy is essential in this day and age of misinformation and disinformation. Whether it's a local candidate that hides past support for others, or a President that wants to hide damaging files. #DontGetDistracted

Talk about an unconscionable Freudian slip. 😳😳😳 All electeds cross this nation take an oath to uphold their state Constitution as well as the US Constitution. That is not an oath to a king or even to an office. Even suggesting unlimited power should be in impeachable offense. #TrumpIsUnfitToLead

"No big deal..." Racist, revisionist programming from PragerU is already infecting PBS broadcasts and is being broadcast into our communities. Do we really need to talk about how horrendous slavery was, again? We fought a war over this. 🤬 #TrumpIsUnfitToLead

If a Republican tries to tell you that it take 60 votes to pass a CR in the Senate, they are either dreadfully misinformed, or they are lying to you. Just two weeks ago, Senate Republicans changed the rules to force through 48 nominations at once. Technical details matters. Credit: @tonycali2026

Nostradamus couldn't have said it better himself. 🤦‍♂️ #RepublicanShutdown #RepublicanLeadershipFailure #TrumpIsInTheEpsteinFiles

The sheer audacity of @SpeakerJohnson to flagrantly lie to the American people over something that is easily debunked by a Google search is downright appalling. He lies like it's his profession. His childish fabrication makes him unfit to lead. #RepublicansLie #RepublicanShutdown #LyingLiarsLie

The federal government lurches towards a shutdown as Speaker Johnson cowardly locks the doors to the House chambers. Imagine if municipal governments locked the doors to City Hall to prevent debate and passage of a budget. 🙄 Credit @couriernewsroom #RepublicanShutdown #DsLeadRsFlee

Speaker Johnson is refusing to swear in a dually elected Democratic representative into the US House, but had no problem swearing in a Republican 2 weeks ago. All to prevent releasing the Epstein files. Credit:@fubarpac #RepublicansProtectPedofiles #TrumpIsInTheEpsteinFiles #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

As a kid they made me say “And Liberty and Justice for All” everyday at 8am. Now I’m “woke” for wanting Liberty and Justice for All. It's ironic how that works. We stand with our neighbors to demand that day be today. #LibertyAndJusticeForAll #ForAll #Someday Credit @aaronbeltranrealty

Remember: When billionaires take control of communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy. The sources that you choose to trust to provide you with information very much shape your perspective on the world around you. Choose wisely. Credit: @rbreich

Corruption, plain and simple. Where are the people that once decried their perceived weaponization of the Department of Justice now that Trump's DOJ is attacking his political enemies? This is not how you conduct yourself in a democracy. Reposted from @fubarpac #Comey #TrumpCorruption #DOJ

Silencing opposing viewpoints and stifling dissent is an age-old tactic of authoritarianism. Are you sure that you are on the right side of history? Self-reflection is warranted, before it's too late.

Free speech for me but not for thee! Hypocrites: every single one. "For months, the Trump administration pledged to protect free speech. But after Charlie Kirk's killing, those same officials are now pledging to curtail speech." Credit: @postpolitics #RepublicanHypocrisy

"Trump takes credit for infrastructure bill he tried to kill." If ever there was a time for truth in politics, honesty from elected officials, and integrity above all else, it is now. And that is not Trump. Lying liars lie. Credit: Aaron Parnas #TrumpDistraction #LyingLiarsLie

• Real leaders don't fire the messenger for reporting bad numbers. • Real leaders admit their mistakes. • Real leaders don't have to fudge their numbers. • Real leaders don't have to fake it. #TrumpIsntALeader #TrumpIsAGrifter

There is a reason why no level of government entrusts supreme, unchecked, unilateral control over government functions to one person. Government works best when all branches work together to serve their constituents, and hold equal branches of government accountable. #NoKings

11 short years ago, at a time when the biggest headlines were the Russian invasion of Crimea and the West African Ebola Outbreak, the nation was gripped by the headlines and closeted racism of conservative media over President Obama's tan suit. It was a simpler time. #DontGetDistracted

It is everyone's duty to defend our constituents and neighbors against tyranny and oppression.

Officials in the Texas House of Representatives have kidnapped a peer and sitting member of the Texas Legislature. Their conduct is unlawful and appalling. Representative Collier must be released immediately.

Voters should choose their elected officials instead of elected officials choosing their voters. Say no to gerrymandering. Tell your state legislators that you want an independent, nonpartisan redistricting commission. #Gerrymandering Credit: @bensheehan.bsky.social

Real heroes don't do it for fame or recognition. They don't need to be seen doing good work or to take constant selfies for self-promotion on social media. They do it because there's someone in need and they have the ability to help. That's how friends, neighbors, and real heroes act.

The audacity to flagrantly lie to the country like this should be disqualifying for all levels of public office.

Keep calling your senators! Now is when you must use your voice to stop the Billionaire Bailout Bill while we still can. The 5-Calls makes this quick and easy: 5calls.org/issue/hr1-on... #BillionaireBailoutBill

Time and time again this proves itself to be true. Stop electing stupid people. #TrumpsWar #Unconstitutional

Radicalized by Republican lies, activated by Trump.

Sneak peak at all of America tomorrow for “No Kings Day” 🍊🦅🇺🇸

Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter were married for 77 years. Another great President who's wife didn't despise him. 💁‍♂️ (sorry, Donnie 🍊) #NoKingsDay #NoKingsInAmerica #FDT

Let's talk about a great man that held the highest office in the land. But first, he started his local school board. 1/2

Secretary Pete Buttigieg was a two-term mayor of South Bend, Indiana before joining President Joe Biden's cabinet to be Secretary of Transportation. Mayor Pete took leave of his mayoral duties for deployment to Afghanistan. Thank you for your service, Mayor Pete! #NoKingsDay #NoKingsInAmerica #FDT

Today, rather than talk about the slipper slope down a fascist rabbit hole, let's talk about people that did great things in higher office, but began in local office. First is President Joe Biden. 1/2

"I didn't think the leopard would eat MY face" 💁‍♂️ 🍿 Clearly, there is no honor among thieves.

Progressive candidates are going to have a good year in local elections! Reach out to find out what's available in your local community.

Golfing while the remains of our fallen soldiers are returned home is not leadership. Golfing in the face of a national economic crisis is not leadership. Golfing while Kentucky floods is not leadership. Trump knows nothing about leadership. 🤬 Credit to @aravosis.bsky.social for another great video

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL. #HandsOff

U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawai‘i) spoke out on the Senate floor after President Donald Trump announced a new tariff plan that will levy the largest tax hike on middle-class families in a generation and force families to pay an average of $5,000 more each year.

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

You are no king.
