Trump 101

The Trump administration & Republicans think it's okay to send untrained, unprofessional, violent forces to brutalize and terrorize the American people. Their injuring children & the elderly, of even US Citizens! Call Congress & demand accountability and an end to #ICELawlessness Call 202-224-3121

Judge Ellis used her authority to bring Bovino into court to answer for every violation of her restraining order,requiring him to face the people his agency has harmed. He must report to her daily & agents must wear body camera during all operations & submit footage. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

This shit needs to stop

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

"Ms. Monahan, 61, paid $439 a month for her coverage in 2025. When she went to shop for next year’s plan, she learned that the monthly cost would jump to $1,059 for the same plan with an annual deductible of $7,100..." Thanks, GOP congress! Thanks, Trump! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/h...

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?

On the bright side, Argentina’s stock market is doing great today after Trump gave them $40 billion. Meanwhile, Americans are expected to go hungry in just a few days.

Breaking on MSNBC: Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

Article is linked in the OP, but the takeaway that applies to me and possibly many others: -Doordash will cover ONE grocery order and waive all but certain fees -The order has to be from one of the specific set of stores that is SNAP eligible. -You must have an EBT/SNAP card attached prior

45 years ago 1 income could buy a home, car, and an education. Then Reagan began dismantling the New Deal and today 2 incomes can barely afford rent, gas and childcare. We went from “we’re all in this together” to “you’re on your own kid”. Trump is finishing the job. #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

I think we under-estimate how many people are miserable because they have no enthusiasms, no hobbies, because they gave up reading and quit learning when school ended. It's shocking how much studying a beloved subject elevates your mood. It will transform your life.

Video from today's first gas attack. Saturday morning in Chicago.

Norway did it to nazis during wwii and northern cali people did it to pot eradication feds in the 70s. No restaurants or gas... hardware or chainsaw sharpening. No motels. Vehicle repairs... Nothing.

signs like these are up all over Chicago cafes and storefronts (here, cafes in Brighton Park and Back of the Yards) warning ICE not to enter without a judicial warrant

A data breach at Wojeski & Company, an Albany-based accounting firm, exposed the personal data of over 4,700 New Yorkers. We're making Wojeski & Company pay $60,000 and strengthen its cybersecurity to protect consumers. Protecting personal data isn't up for debate.

This is amazing!!

Pro Tip: Canada is not your enemy but the greasy, drug addicted money-laundering bald mfker who made his own daughter give him lap dances and just spent the week tearing down something that didn’t belong to him is, also he knows nothing about economics. Tariffs will wreck USA.

Sometimes punching back is the only way to survive a cheater and a bully.

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

it really annoys me when people blame apps or websites for their behavior like… yes, the apps promote the behavior but it’s your job to use them in a conscious way.

🚨 oh look! Jack Smith is calling Marsha Blackburn’s bluff. Surely she should want him to testify publicly if she isn’t entirely full of 💩, right? Right?? www.cnn.com/2025/10/23/p...

Turkey has launched a heartwarming initiative that tackles 2 major issues at once plastic waste & stray animal hunger. Special vending machines installed in Istanbul & other cities allow citizens to deposit discarded plastic bottles which in turn dispense food & water for stray animals. #Kindness

Of course, the gold encrusted ballroom will cost taxpayers, especially if Trump gets 230 million from taxpayers for prosecutions resulting from crimes he committed . . . on tape.

Democratic Reps. Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia are launching an investigation into President Donald Trump’s reported demand that his own Justice Department hand over $230 million as compensation for past federal investigations into him, according to a letter obtained by CNN. https://cnn.it/3WnOAJ4

From the NYTimes: Trump is demanding the Justice Department pay him $230 million to compensate him for the federal investigations into him — a situation with no parallel in American history in which the officials reviewing Trump’s claims are his own allies .

"He demanded that the federal government pay him $230 million." "This controversy strikes a nerve because it's easy to understand. You don't need a law degree to grasp it. For most folks, it looks like Trump enriching himself at public expense." SUGAR, PLEASE KEEP TALKING.

Trump’s demand for $230M violates the Constitution’s emoluments clause He & his cronies approving this face serious legal & ethical issues This will not stand I explained @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social 👇

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Two things are true at once: 1) they are making moves that are designed to steal the 2026 and 2028 elections through redistricting and voter suppression, and 2) their success is far from a foregone conclusion. YES ON PROP 50. And start thinking about your GOTV work now.
