Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

“.. During the call, which took place with a Block Club reporter present, the anonymous representative told a group of faith leaders and activists that ‘There is no more prayer in front of building or inside the building ..’” @blockclubchi.bsky.social #chicago blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/07/f...

The president of the United States is begging the Supreme Court to not feed children, adults with disabilities, hard working but low paid Americans. THINK ABOUT THIS!!! Our president!!!

Right?

🚨Judge ORDERS Trump administration to deliver full SNAP benefits to states by TODAY! Please report if you received your benefits for SNAP. 4 out of 5 households of 42M with benefits have at least one child or someone with a disability. I’m still at $0 here in NYC!🚨 www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

THIS is Trump's America today... 👇

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

I am no fan of Ackman, but this is how to respond to loss with some level of grace and we should let him rather than constantly dunk

Trump was ABSOLUTELY on the ballot yesterday and it SHOWED. 👏

Mike Johnson on California's Prop 50: "It was a sign of desperation on the Democrat Party. It was a game to rig the election."

Amazing. He's saying the quiet part out loud without even realizing it. I know how absurd this is to say these days, but it's important to remember that officially, redistricting isn't supposed to unfairly favor one party over another.

BREAKING: Democrats make history and break super majority in deep red Mississippi. Republicans now have 34 seats in the Mississippi Senate, one short of a super majority. No one expected this.

He right. The Dem establishment freakout about Mamdani is weird because he ran on Kitchen Table Issues relentlessly.

For the first time in a year, I didn’t wake up full of dread or with a heavy heart. Democracy won last night! But we can’t grow complacent—2026 is our next fight, and last night gave us momentum. Thank you to everyone who worked hard and to voters who came out to save democracy!

THE WAY THEY RUN

Good morning... USA is turning blue!!! And... 🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the POS 34x convicted felon, DEADLY INSURRECTIONIST, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Donald Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

One sexual assaulter will always stand behind another and they do it right out in the open, like they're spitting in our faces. Speaking of which, did I mention know-nothing, never heard of it Mike Johnson, protector-in-chief?

"I'll keep starving poor kids until Democrats vote to increase your health care premiums" is probably not a great message for the midterms, Mr. President

President Trump’s open defiance of court orders and refusal to release funding for Americans who rely on SNAP benefits to feed their families is nothing short of cruel. President Trump has the power and the legal tools to fully fund SNAP. Anything less is unacceptable.

This is a classic form of voter intimidation—making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @deadder.bsky.social )

This is brilliant

Undocumented immigrants are not and have never been eligible for federal SNAP benefits. So when Republicans cut $186 billion from SNAP and when they slow-roll funding for SNAP, they’re hurting American citizens only.

Jeffries: "All Republicans care about it the opinion of one man -- the puppet master of the Republican Party, Donald J Trump. They don't care about anything else. How else can you explain the fact that they are weaponizing hunger?"

Some people waited in line up for 14 hours to receive a food box from a church giveaway. 500 people volunteered to help and they still ran out of food. Remember for every one person a food bank feeds, SNAP feeds 9. By turning off food assistance the regime is starving Americans.

The American people started this month off with higher insurance rates and canceled SNAP benefits for millions. Meanwhile, Republicans are still getting checks for doing nothing! Are we great yet⁉️

O'DONNELL: The stock market doesn't affect everybody. Not everybody is invested in the stock market TRUMP: It does O'DONNELL: But grocery prices are up TRUMP: No. 401ks. People have 401ks.

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

someone invited people magazine to the kitchen and they brought their own knives

Every day it feels more and more like a zombie apocalypse over on LinkedIn, in which you start a conversation with someone who you hope is an ordinary person and then a couple of turns in discover that they have surrendered their brains to the "AI" mass delusion.

The government is shutdown, and millions of Americans are about to go without food and/or medicine because of him. So what does Donald Trump do? Keeps bragging about his $300,000,000 golden ballroom and throws a Great Gatsby party at his private resort. He is so stupidly tone-deaf.

Holy shit. Heard there was a car accident & things went off the rails. Didn’t expect this Soon, they are going to kill someone with their brutality in front of the witnesses. If they act like this with folks recording, can you imagine what they are doing to our fellow humans behind the walls.

Remember during oral argument on the presidential immunity case when conservative justices scoffed at and mocked the hypothetical that a president with immunity could just start killing whoever he wanted and there was nothing that could be done if he has immunity?

Can Donald Trump run again? No. But, as @elienyc.bsky.social writes, he and his ghoulish sidekicks have every reason for wanting us to think he will find a way to run in 2028. Here’s why we can’t fall for it.

You have to ask: why keep the House locked during a shutdown? We could vote to fund SNAP, pay our troops, reopen government. But Speaker Johnson knows once we’re back, Democrats will have the votes to swear in Adelita Grijalva—and release the Epstein files. That’s why we’re in recess.

Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

Q: In the last Trump shutdown, he made sure SNAP benefits went out. Why do you think he shouldn't do that this time? MIKE JOHNSON: The president has done exactly what he did in the first term, and that is bend over backward to make sure we mitigate the harm. The money doesn't exist to do it.

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?

@yumiimizutsune.bsky.social 's Yumii dons a reaper's cloak and bony bodypaint this year to dress up as The Death of Rats! Though in the shadows, that facepaint looks mighty convincing...

Speaker Mike Johnson is perpetually trying to deceive people. He uses his milquetoast speech and persona to mask his determination to ruthlessly cause harm. He wears his “Christianity” on his sleeve as a decoy from his evil intentions. He is not a good person, he just tries to play one on TV.
