Creepy billionaires pursuing a secret plan to see to it that an “aristocracy” of creepy billionaires rules America. What could possibly go wrong.

When it comes to the homeowners’ insurance crisis, you’re getting screwed on costs AND corruption.

I will never understand the Republican fetish for cutting health care and hurting their constituents.

When you send the National Guard into cities; When you deploy masked ICE agents to yank people off the streets; You’re getting Americans used to images they shouldn’t be used to.

I feel such joy to have worked with surely the Greatest Legislator Of All Time. Obamacare was just as much Pelosicare, and cap-and-trade would have saved so much hurt. The legend was earned.

The billionaires’ justices have been selective in application of their “principles,” depending on which party is helped. Find me an originalist bone in Citizens United. Find me a textualist bone in the presidential immunity decision.

Well, duh. A. He doesn’t give a damn. B. Some of it is on purpose to steer your money to his big donor elite.

Today, Trump breaks his own record for the longest shutdown in American history.

600,000+ Tennesseans rely on the Affordable Care Act for health insurance. While Republicans fail their own constituents, we’ll keep fighting for them.

On day 36 of the shutdown, this is why Democrats continue to fight.

The shutdown — and the pain it inflicts on Americans — thrills Trump’s dark heart.

There are no words. Hungry kids are not a bargaining chip. Choosing to let millions go hungry is unspeakably cruel.

Kash Patel is abusing every government perk he can – and firing career agents for doing their jobs.

Shut down American airspace rather than extend people’s health care benefits, which their own constituents want, and which numerous House Republicans have proposed?

Just about an hour apart by the way

After a judge ordered Donald Trump to make SNAP payments, the wannabe king declared he will defy a court order and won't help people afford groceries. Trump's message to 42 million Americans: eat dirt.

How does one party “withdrawing” clear the conflict when the judge knows the party’s interest was so obvious that it became a party?

Yup. “In the United States alone, a spike in non-renewal rates across the homeowners’ insurance industry – even beyond high-risk markets in Florida and California – indicates that climate threatens to trigger a national insurance crisis.”

Since Donald Trump took office, electricity prices have gone up by 11%. If only Trump cared about lowering costs as much as his new White House bathroom.

MAGA government-haters sure love the perks. Add new jets for Noem, new 747 and ballroom for Trump, military housing for many.

Gates has supplied climate deniers with cover for years (presumably unintentionally). His schtick that innovation will solve climate gave them an excuse for inaction, and is just plain wrong. www.fastcompany.com/91432291/bil...

Gates has been harmful on climate for a long time. He has never understood the corruption and negative externality problems. www.linkedin.com/pulse/bill-g...

Here are my three truths about climate: 1. We fail if we don’t end free-to-pollute fossil fuel model. Period. Game over. 2. A crash looms, prefigured by collapse in home insurance/mortgage markets. 3. There are true villains in the story, and we have to tell it that way.

Stupid move in the first place, showing how the worst fossil fuel creeps run the show for this corrupt administration. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

These billionaires can’t bring their own clean power to the grid? Can’t pay emissions fee on pollution they cause? World’s biggest freeload. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

This article overlooks how the grid works, and why electricity prices will keep going up. The grid price is usually set by the last unit called up, and they’re called up by cost. Solar and wind almost never set the grid price because they are low-cost to run. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/c...

Fake news?

Oh, please, lectures about how “no one should aspire for large segments of the population to depend on government handouts,” when billionaires get the biggest government handouts of all?

Nutrition assistance is NOT corrupt. Food stamps kept my family fed when my mom had to look for work after my dad got sick with MS. The Trump administration wants kids, seniors, and veterans to go hungry. They are REFUSING to use emergency funds to keep SNAP benefits going.

Tomorrow, open enrollment will begin for health insurance through the ACA and millions of Americans will be priced out of the health coverage they need. Reminder: Republicans chose this. Democrats will keep fighting against this.

This crap may give MAGA Bondi her jollies, but it obviously stinks with court and staff — not good. Most DOJs want judges’ trust.

Getting really sick of Gates feeding the climate deniers. PolluterPage of course spoons it up. www.wsj.com/opinion/bill...

Let’s all remember the $40 billion for Argentina as Trump shuts down SNAP for Americans.

Dems have a bill to fund SNAP and feed families through the shutdown. Yesterday, Senate R’s blocked it. It’s needless and cruel to use hungry children as bargaining chips. Previous shutdowns did not cut SNAP. Release the funds.

No corruption here.

Instead of working with Democrats to fix our health care system, Republicans have shut down the government, and the Trump administration is preparing to hold food benefits hostage. It is cruel to use hungry children as bargaining chips.

Instead of getting suspended for calling it a mob riot, maybe the DOJ lawyers should have quoted one of my Republican colleagues. 🧵

One fact to add: SNAP benefits have been maintained in every previous shutdown. This is a choice they have made, not an inevitability.

The Trump Administration LIED??? You don’t say.

Trump is still AWOL, the Republican House is still on vacation, and more Rhode Islanders are seeing a spike in health insurance premiums – in this case by $1,641 a MONTH. No one can afford Republicans’ cruelty. Time for them to come back to work.

Trump and Vought could keep SNAP benefits flowing if they wanted to. But for once in their lives, they claim not to have the legal authority.

RI seniors pay into Social Security over a lifetime of hard work so they can enjoy a dignified retirement, yet the cost of living is outpacing these benefits. As Trump and Republicans drive up costs, our bill would increase benefits and protect the promise of Social Security.

Only an estimated 384 North Atlantic right whales left, after a difficult 2024 that saw five right whale deaths, 16 entanglements — 10 of which had attached fishing gear — and eight vessel strikes.

I happen to believe that your elected officials should vote to reopen government AND keep your premiums from more than doubling.   Government should be open and Americans shouldn't go bankrupt to afford health care.

Step by step we move toward The Great Climate Insurance Collapse.

The size of the U.S. economy likely insulate us — that and our geographic reach — but good luck Florida. Florida now likely bears more liability from propping up its homeowners insurance market than it carries in state debt.
