A reminder to pay attention to what your votes & tax dollars are doing. Don’t like the results then get engaged!

Oh there’s Mike Johnson. Let’s ask him about The Epstein Files.

Munson: In Oklahoma, Republicans have been in charge of state government for two decades, and nothing has improved. In fact, everything has gotten worse. On every good list, we’re at the bottom, and on every bad list, we’re at the very top.

Talarico: We’re building a movement in Texas. We have shattered grassroots fundraising records. We have recruited over 10,000 volunteers. That’s the infrastructure we need to energize Democratic voters, bring in new voters, and peel people off from the other side. You have to do all three to win.

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

TEXAS CAN GERRYMANDER ALL THEY WANT, BUT THE RIGHT KIND OF POLITICIAN WILL STILL WIN. James Talarico, Texas State Representative, former middle school teacher, and Presbyterian seminarian running for the U.S. Senate to take power back for working people. 🗽

Unlike needy loser Donald Trump, Barack Obama got his Peace Prize from the Nobel Committee, not a vending machine.

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now. Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers. Shameful.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

There was a time when the United States looked down its nose at the countries in South America for being lawless banana republics. Who's the banana republic now, bitches?

Genuine question: has any GOP member of house or senate spoken out about the Dept of defense and Hegseth threatening sen Mark Kelly with lawfare? Beyond disturbing Especially any veterans? Shame on all those who stay silent

“Donald Trump is a sociopath. Donald Trump is evil. Donald Trump is trying to destroy democracy because he only thinks of himself. These things are all inescapably true”

The administration that uncancelled swastikas yesterday wants us to believe that it is blackmailing universities because it is so sincerely against antisemitism?

Trump calls female reporter "Piggy".

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Message to the GOP regarding healthcare: WTF have you done? PoliticsGirl

50 yr anniversary of the history making series.

Thanks to Ronn over at FaceBook for this one.

Fund SNAP. Reverse the Medicaid cuts. Restore USAID. (image cia @peppapaxpippa.bsky.social)

American Farmers betrayed, again. Unfortunately, a majority of them voted for Trump and his resulting economic policy. youtube.com/shorts/g2ghm...

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Trump’s America: Thousands of furloughed federal workers in Hyattsville, Maryland waiting in line for food.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight. Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Trump and corporate media want you to believe Trump is wildly popular. Well if he is then where are the massive pro-Trump protests to counter our protests? Nowhere because Trump is horribly unpopular. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/where-are-...

Who’s eating the tariffs? You, mostly. @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2025/10/16/t...

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity. And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

Pritzker: Illinois is not a place you can conquer and our people are not your subjects

New in PN: Scenes from Portland's imaginary insurrection "I’ve been taking images that are nowhere near this one conflict driveway — ones of puppies & kids playing, & families having picnics — b/c the idea that Portland is burned down & a war zone is just preposterous" — @timdickinson.bsky.social

"In unison." Amen. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Yet, it seems as though MSM has ignored it or made a brief mention of it with a shrug.

Congrats to Ms. Machado. Well done. White House, lock up the ketchup because y’all about to go through somethings.

BREAKING: For her work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela, María Corina Machado wins the Nobel Peace Prize.

🚨🚨🚨Chicago - NOW!🚨🚨🚨 1/2

Thanks, New Yorker

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Make America Great Again… GTF Out!

Gov’t shutdown means “vacation” for Speaker Johnson (R) in addition this is further obstruction to release of full Epstein files.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life? #TwentyfiveFortyseven

They’re baaack. 🤣 Repairs and all…

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

A government shutdown means Americans won’t get the services they depend on. Federal workers won’t get their paychecks. People’s livelihoods will be upended. This is happening because Republicans wanted to pay for more tax cuts for the super rich by making devastating cuts to the social safety net.

Another big tech company capitulated today as YouTube agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a bogus lawsuit brought by Trump. Here's what I can promise you: Democracy Docket will never bow down. It will never compromise. It will never obey. Support the work of its 20 person team. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Clearly, our FBI director is a lawless idiot. Gifting NZ official illegal weapons that had to be surrendered and destroyed. Perfect example of Trump’s incompetent team. apnews.com/article/kash... FBI boss Kash Patel gave New Zealand officials 3D-printed guns illegal to possess under local laws

Dear MSM, why are you not asking Trump and his sycophants what are their sources? Why is the press not doing its job?

Never let a job steal your life. Layoffs this year: • Meta: 8,000 • Intel: 24,500 • UPS: 20,000 • FedEx: 9,000 • Verizon: 11,000 • Amazon: 18,000 • Microsoft: 15,000 • Citigroup: 20,000 Job security is an illusion. Never feel guilty about leaving your job for a better opportunity.

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

A wholesome and much needed TL cleanser.
