If forensic accountants did an audit of the US government, I wonder how much they'd find stolen by Trump. #USAtaxpayersrobbed

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Not buying it, Lawrence. We didn't march in the street. Organize and donate. Stuff envelopes and make calls. Face down armed soldiers. We didn't do any of that to have our team cave. IT IS A LOSS. They squandered the greatest amount of political capital since Obama.

i continue to be astonished by the times’ failure to convey the enormity of trump’s attack on american democracy. it’s one story after another disconnected from any broader framing of what’s actually happening. they have the tools and the power to do it, but they just don’t use them.

Given very little information but told I need a second surgery ASAP. No one to talk to. No one answering questions. The problems with the American medical system go way beyond insurance. Surgeon does the work then disappears. Nurses know little. No one to call. #Healthcare #ACA

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

More of the Senate working for us and by us I mean them.

Greg Bovino was caught doing N*zi shit once again with a group of ICE agents! This time he threw in new hand gestures that these modern day N*zis concocted to ruin the game of ‘rock, paper, scissors’ for everyone. #Pinks #ProudBlue #GregBovino #ICE

“Numerous large companies are siphoning off hundreds of millions of dollars a year in veterans benefits, all to make a quick dollar on what has for decades been a free service.” This company is spending millions to profit off veterans’ benefits. An April feature from @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social:

What happens when #Democrats "cleverly" capitulate.

Anyone remember these AHs who fought progressives hard against single payer promising that demanding base minimum health care reform was the best way to go and then negotiated with themselves to drop the public option. History — Health Care for America Now share.google/UEi0dohMlOR1...

2009-10ish local #ACA advocates invited me to speak at an event about the bill. The hosts knew I favored single payer when they asked me. But since they asked me as a lawyer to speak about the bill I did that. They were so flipping rude to me. Interrupting. Misrepresenting. Now ACA is trashed. 1/2

2009-2010. #Democrats thought they were so clever seeking base minimum health care, attacked single payer advocates and dumped the public option. Now their leaders throw away that base minimum, the ACA. All those way smarter than me HCAN, OFA, and MoveOne folks, what say you now? #ACA #healthcare

Remember when #Democrats yelled at us "Give us the votes." Then we give them the votes and they yell at us "You don't understand." #sheesh #primaryDemocrats

I wouldn't call MoveOn progressive but they're challenging Chuck.

Jon Stewart is pretty much everybody right now!😖

Big Tech is plotting a $100M lobbying and campaign spending blitz to block AI regulation at the state and federal level. We must stop this takeover before it's too late.

I love being mansplained about the Senate in the morning. Sorry Marc, this was a Senate leadership decision and they chose which Senators they'd release to betray us. Dick Durbin's office turned off their phones. Constituents be damned. The airline lobbyists want a green Christmas.

Since @durbin.senate.gov won't answer constituent calls maybe he should step down now and let #JB fill his seat until the election. I hear Juliana Stratton is available. #illinois

I'm warm. Cats are cold. #cats

This is a disaster. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

So apparently senators must now be notified in advance if their phone records are requested during the investigation of a crime. No one else, just senators. So they're free to crime and can't be investigated without notice. This is so wrong, but it's great for senators who want to commit crimes.

What do you say to a relative who keeps texting messages that amount to "Ha ha. Everything is great here. I'm safe and and you're city is under attack." Also, they're sending this while I'm recovering from cancer surgery. #Florida

They are actively trying to murder us. In some cases they've succeeded...

When my cartoons become reality. #chicago

The art of folding a winning hand

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs. So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract. Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

Caving Democrats Spit In America's Face, Swear It's Raining open.substack.com/pub/wonkette... MAGA will not work to lower costs...any costs for working Americans. The only thing they are interested in lowering is taxes for the morbidly wealthy. Democrats squandered leverage for nothing #CleanHouse

It’s not that we didn’t want the shutdown to end, it’s the fact that millions of people suffered throughout this shutdown and it was for nothing. That’s the most upsetting part.

the democratic party establishment hasnt learned a damn thing since they voted to allow george w bush to invade iraq. not one thing.

"Outrage and betrayal" AOC on House Dem.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEJx... Corporate media has spent the last 40 years instructing us to believe that all of us commoners who dared to be born not-wealthy are somehow more selfish than those who already hold more wealth than they could spend in a thousand lifetimes, and still want more.

#Democrats always asked us for patience and more support but if they won't meet the moment now, they never will.

Dick, we really really get how the Senate works. @durbin.senate.gov

@durbin.senate.gov spent decades filling my inbox with contribution pleas and now tells me that I'm not important enough to consider.

So @durbin.senate.gov doesn't think we know how the Senate works. Is that the same Senate that passed the Laken Riley Act and the Big Ugly Bill? Is that the Senate that kept Trump in office after impeachment? I think we have a pretty good idea that the Senate works for the rich and racist.

Trump is looking into buying warehouse—like Amazon warehouses—and turning them into mega detention centers. These are buildings meant for packages, not people. Trump thinks immigrants are just inventory to process, not human beings with rights & dignity. History calls them concentration camps.

If Democrats had held out for just 12 more hours, they would have seen that Trump was going to be FORCED to fund SNAP and that that should not have been the centerpiece of a negotiation to betray 40 million Americans on healthcare

The people showed up in the streets for "No Kings." They did their part. The people showed up at the polls on Tuesday. They did their part. 8 Democrats in the Senate surrendered last night. They did not do their part.

Why is no one talking about the GOP effort to sneak a nationwide abortion ban into the CR?

Durbin‘s office offers only a recording that says it’s not fielding calls or taking messages outside of “business hours.” What a waste of a Senate seat he’s been during this fascist assault on our country.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely. *If all goes by the regular schedule

Centrist Democrats in the Senate folded on the shutdown, throwing away their leverage in exchange for worthless GOP promises. When will they learn that there is no center between a government of oligarchs and a government of the people? https://youtu.be/EQzG_TrhyrY?si=LBXGJad9NjGyBGBo
