BlackRock will buy AES, one of the largest publicly traded utility companies in the U.S. AES is a major power provider for Big Tech companies building out data centers. Yes: while these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

I’m supposed to believe both that trained and paid journalists couldn’t see through Project 2025 spin but also they’re the people best positioned to tell me what’s happening and how I should feel. Why? They failed at their jobs by their own admission.

Odd, how MAGA couldn't draw enough attention to imaginary children being molested in #Pizzagate, but when it comes to *real* children being molested in #Epsteingate, they desperately want our attention to be elsewhere.

The town I grew up in is on the news. Someone spray painted swastikas on several signs. What did the mayor say? She believes it was a group of young teens/adults. The same town that had a Kamala costume in their Halloween parade being dragged by a quad in chains w no penalties.Yeah, just a joke.

I realize that anyone has the right to have people speak for them at their sentencing. Sean Combs having his preacher speak for him is the height of hypocrisy, both for him and the preacher. What he did on film to that one lady should never be excused or given a light sentence. Disgusting

I still can’t wrap my head around this—mayors of American cities are holding meetings, not about natural disasters or crime waves, but about how to shield their own citizens from the President of the United States. And somehow, we’re supposed to act like this is normal. It’s not. It’s madness.

Repubs won’t even acknowledge that Dems are trying to keep health insurance premiums from skyrocketing for 20+ million Americans? They are just going pretend that isn’t happening & keep repeating this “free healthcare for illegals” bs? What do the 20+ million think about that?

Speaker Johnson fretting about impact of a shutdown on low-income Americans minutes after boasting about GOP cuts that will mean millions lose health insurance -- and millions more losing food assistance -- is an interesting contrast

I don't know about you but I am tired of privileged Justice. No wonder they commit crimes; They get a slap on the wrist and get to go about their business.

Correct me if I’m wrong This week, the president threatened to use lethal military force on 50% of Americans, purge the government of anyone not swearing fealty to him. The Secretary of defense said that physical and sexual abuse of service members will not be punished,

On PBS just now, Senator Mike Rounds just admitted they have no way to control this president. I call BS. They are relinquishing their duties to a traitor.

This is an awesome ‘Ted Talk’ by AOC on our current situation… 💙

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

These are the FACTS.

It’s happening. It IS happening.

These are the heroes he is trying to minimize #military #media #FDT #FJDV #america #jasminecrocket

[Dem president show any signs of mental deterioration] MEDIA: WE MUST HAVE INQUIRIES! WE MUST WRITE BOOKS ABOUT THIS! THIS IS THE ONLY STORY THAT MATTERS! [GOP president is clearly batshit crazy and deranged] MEDIA: That silly rascal.

In Chump's Own Words.......

“Healthcare for illegal aliens” is the new “they’re eating the cats and dogs in Springfield.”

Stephanopoulos drops a truth bomb on Johnson….

Quick reminder: they can still release the Epstein files during a government shutdown.

Priorities.

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

I'm watching coverage of the gov shutdown. Absent is the recent Supreme Court action allowing the president to rescind budgeted funds. They destroyed the negotiation necessary for this process. How can there be compromise when one side has established that they won't abide by agreements they make?

People always used to ask, "How low will Republicans go to protect and pander to Donald Trump?" Thanks to Ted Cruz, we now have our answer.

I came to the Capitol, ready to be sworn in and get to work for the people of Southern Arizona. Instead, Speaker Johnson chose to delay, denying our community the representation we deserve.

Because the federal government shut down on the first of the month, everyone should know folks with a Section 8 Voucher cannot be evicted because the government didn't make the voucher payment, nor can their portion of the rent be increased to cover the voucher payment. 24 C.F.R. § 982.310(b)(1)

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin. We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

Dem messaging right now should be this, loud and clear: "The GOP would rather shut down the government than let the American people have affordable healthcare." On repeat and everywhere.

Inside Congress www.politico.com/newsletters/... THE BUCK STOPS HERE:

AOC: "This will experiences the consequences of this, but we have to be the consequence. Which is why we have to stand tall right now alongside everyday Americans who want us to be standing up."

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

When you think you're World War II's Patton, but you're really just M*A*S*H's Major Frank Burns.

OMG. YES, GAVIN. THIS is the energy we need from everyone. EVERYONE. #vanceisadipshit

When a president brags about gold accessories as proof of “success,” it projects not leadership but authoritarian pageantry.

bragging about how much gold you’re putting in the oval office while all the economic lights on the dashboard are starting to flash red and the government is about to shut down is some shit that would make the marie antoinette caricature wince

This isn’t right. Masked individuals raiding small businesses are endangering our communities, not making them safer.

If Hakeem and Chuckles screw this up, we need to stand up and demand new leadership. Hell, I want them both gone right now!! They have let us down and their inability to lead is clear. Let's get Chris Murphy in the Senate and AOC in the House.

The "lung float" test is being used to charge women with murder. Many experts say it's unreliable. “There’s no way you can determine live birth versus stillbirth with this test," said one doctor, who called the test “an outrageous breach of science.” (Pub. Oct. 2023)
