“Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people.” – Rob Reiner

Happy Caturday #catsky

U.S. pals: Do. Not. Donate. To. Salvation. Army. There are better charities out there. Much better.

Another totally illegal move by the party of bullies and corruption

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Zeldin’s corrupt EPA will say anything. I am a mom and I call for the resignation of Administrator Zeldin because he is endangering my child’s health and the environment he is supposed to protect. #ZeldinMustGo subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

Did you hear that @CleanAirMoms.org is calling for EPA Administrator Zeldin's resignation? He has corrupted the agency’s mission with sweeping clean air rollbacks. Join the movement by telling Congress to hold Zeldin accountable. #ZeldinMustGo #POLLUTIONSPREE app.sosha.ai/s/UrfvUc3Z

I have been both, but this is an advantage of cats 😸

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors. New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

Nice way to ruin Thanksgiving for families across the country, EPA. Moms are furious about this methane delay just announced! 😡😡😡

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

😂😂😂

Crockett on MTG resigning: "Honestly, I was like, you got to be kidding. You're on the other side of the president for one week and you can't take the heat? Imagine what it is to sit in my shoes."

What a headline www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Meta is sick. Sex traffickers are fine, but women posting photos of their own bodies are immediately taken down and the men who harass them face no consequences. The hypocrisy is staggering.

Marjorie Taylor Greene breaks with MAGA and resigns on the same day Trump publicly embraces Zohran Mamdani. Has anyone checked hell? Has it frozen over? Are pigs flying?

Suck it, MAGA. Zohran charmed your dumbass cult leader and played him like a fiddle. Probably just told him he was a pretty, pretty princess and gave him a gift.

On Wednesday, the Trump administration circulated a six-page draft executive order titled “Eliminating State Law Obstruction of National AI Policy.” It would create an “AI Litigation Task Force” led by the Attorney General to challenge state AI laws, among other provisions.

As a parent of a child with dyslexia and a hearing impairment who is thriving with IEP supports, this is terrifying and infuriating.

Even Fox News polling finds that voters believe the Trump White House is doing more harm than good on the economy. ➡️Twice as many say Trump, rather than Biden, is responsible for the current economy ➡️Three times as many say Trump’s economic policies have hurt them www.foxnews.com/politics/fox...

Democrats, who once thought they would come up short in a gerrymandering war, are on track to net an estimated five seats in the 2026 midterm elections. And while that could shift, they may still end up with an advantage.

Rep. Jason Crow: “Karoline Leavitt is outright lying. Actually, what she said from the podium is that there was an encouragement of disobeying lawful orders. We actually said the exact opposite.”

Do you think it hurts her brain to be such a lying sack of shit? It hurts mine just listening to her nonsense. 🤦‍♀️

I just called every one of their offices to thank them. We gotta have their backs when they fight like we’ve been asking them to. Kelly 202-224-2235 Slotkin 202-224-4822 Crow 202-225-7882 Deluzio 202-225-2301 Goodlander 202-225-5206 Houlahan 202-225-4315

The truth will have its day. That day is now. Release all the Epstein files.

So privileged to have worked alongside this amazing human and climate advocate ❤️

I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions. Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.

People cannot afford McDonald’s. Wish our Big Mac loving guy in the WH cared enough to do something about it.

This was an excellent movie. Beautifully made. Beyond nostalgia and general respect, I have never especially been a fan of The Boss, but what a phenomenal story this was. Not at all the usual music biopic.

The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates’ heinous crimes deserve justice. Enough is enough. This floor vote is long overdue. Release the files.

Soon, we'll oversee a budget of more than $100 billion — and every dollar will reflect our commitment to working New Yorkers and delivering universal childcare. Good thing some little New Yorkers gave me a counting lesson today!

LOL

Chuck wants the ACA to be killed on a party line vote bc he thinks that’ll be the recipe for Dems to campaign on. He’s horribly mistaken if he thinks people will flock to a party that just now very publicly declined to defend the ACA when they had the chance.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

America's political elite has decided that climate change is no longer that important or worth talking about, but rest assured, it's still happening, it's extremely bad, and yes, it is going to affect you here in America.

Happy chewing out John Fetterman day! (Washington office phone line didn’t connect but the PHL one did.)

Translation: he has no idea how insurance works

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Kim Davis who tried to get the #SupremeCourt to overturn same sex marriage now owes a gay couple $360k — Fabulous 🏳️‍🌈

Our new fact sheet, The Climate Cost of Coal, breaks down why bringing coal back would drive up home energy bills, pollute our air, and undo years of progress toward cleaner, healthier power. This resource is fact-checked by policy experts and backed by the latest science.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Phang: These firings were illegal in the first fucking place. It’s like the Republicans are supposed to think that they’ve now done something right by not doing what is illegal in the first place.

This shit is why people don’t trust the Democratic Party.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.
