Here's your chance to do something about the people being starved and beaten in Broadview ICE custody. Share this post, and I'll donate $1 to the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund (www.mibfc.org). And if you make a donation to them, let me know how much and I'll match it 1:1.

I can't remember the precise wording but someone on here said that the Republican threat to expose Bill Clinton too isn't so much a threat as it is a "buy one, get one free" promotion.

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.

Mary Hawkins spent 13 months flying the wounded out of the Pacific Theater, becoming one of the few women to be awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Update: this is no longer included in the final funding deal. I'm going to keep fighting to lower premiums and ensure Republicans can’t get away with a backdoor national abortion ban.

You are infinitely closer to struggling than you ever will be to billionaires

Often overlooked, Trump has canny outbreaks of performative moderation at critical moments. And as Trump’s argument with Ingraham suggests, this shows Democrats where to divide MAGA further. trib.al/OY3dIuP

Not only was the Times obsessed with Hillary Clinton's emails while ignoring emails about Donald Trump sent to its own reporter, but since then it has constantly attacked anyone who dared look into questions of Trump's character. All with sanctimony. Now we know it was all a big lie.

On Dec. 8, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein offers a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and "girls in bikinis in my kitchen." Epstein tells the reporter that he "gave" Trump his "20 year old girlfriend...after two years." When people looked into these type of rumors the Times smugly criticized them.

U know who is NOT on the Epstein files? President Obama!!!

Just saw the terrible news that US Bishops just banned gender affirming care at Catholic hospitals. A reminder, from the reproductive justice front - For a lot of people, Catholic hospitals are their only option. Even places where they aren't, they sometimes set standard of care.

The Trump regime is declaring that funding for the CFPB is illegal. Remember: This is the agency that protects Americans from financial predators. Anti-CFPB oligarchs, who spent millions to re-elect Trump, will now have an easier time padding their pockets by ripping you off.

I had the opportunity to review the work experience and skills of numerous people who were laid off or fired from public health jobs by Donald Trump. I want every taxpayer to know that the US has lost an immeasurable number of the smartest, most experienced, and hardworking people on the planet.

A person with measles travelled through the New Orleans Airport Sunday 11/9/25 pm. People who were in Concourse B at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport between 5 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Sunday may have been exposed. #IDSky #measles www.nola.com/news/healthc...

SEATTLE!!! We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

Our primary program will include both the House and Senate. And after the primary — whatever happens — we will rally behind the winner and crush the regime electorally in the midterms just like we did this last week. We get the party we demand and we intend to demand a Democratic Party that fights.

This isn’t about left vs. right. This is about fighting back vs. losing. The regime’s threats are too real and the stakes are too high to settle for the feckless, loser version of the Democratic Party we saw this week. In this moment when fascists are on the march, we need leadership with a spine.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run. We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader. If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

11 November 1921 | A Dutch Jewish woman, Alida Content-Levie, was born in Meppel. In October 1942 she was deported to #Auschwitz. She did not survive. Her younger brother Max (in the picture) was murdered in a gas chamber.

No one’s feelings are wrong. That’s not my point. We’re in a real battle, against a corrupt and malevolent foe, with huge stakes. We must win.

New at Can We Still Govern? New Medicaid work requirements will see an estimated 5 million lose coverage. Small investments in in-house tech capacity could allow states to start preparing now to expand automatic renewal of clients. Here is the evidence 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/how-a-van-...

There's also some irony in the fact that Gen X continues to vote MAGA and MAGA just absolutely reamed Gen X on health care costs. People who are about to hit Medicare eligibility but not quite there? That 55-64 bracket? Absolutely fucked with no recompense.

Democrats must stand for something principled and real, not just compromise and civility while fascists enact mass violence across the country. I've an essay out today that underlines yet another set of reasons why caving on the budget is disaster. www.newglobalpolitics.org/neither-cult...

Trump trade war costs US Italian pasta: “Exporters say import and antidumping duties totaling 107% on their pasta brands will make doing business in America too costly and are preparing to pull out of U.S. stores as soon as January.” Via WSJ

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.

👇

This right here.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

Republicans were overwhelmingly getting blamed for the shutdown. There was no reason for the Democrats to cave to Trump on healthcare, except for the fact that they are wholly owned and operated by the health insurance lobby.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons. State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Newsom: He is a historic president—a historically unpopular president. Underwater in every key category—I mean, you can’t even make this up; this is hard to do…

One thing I have marveled at is the way that crowds have been disciplined in capturing immigration enforcement’s lack of discipline.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Phillip Lewis, a 72-year-old cancer patient, said he was woken up and marched outside his home in his robe and underwear before federal officers even checked his ID. He was not, it turned out, the man they were looking for. By @wendicthomas.bsky.social & @kathsburgess.bsky.social

Few people care about this, I know. It's just another way that Black people are USED to grow the prison industrial complex by claiming that we do mainly want more cops. No nuance ever. Just more cops.

Mandatory prayer inside public schools. No public prayer outside fascist kidnapping factories. That's what "religious freedom" looks like under the GOP: blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/07/f...

If you want to get ahead of the game, start reaching out to your electeds about funding and support for eviction prevention. SNAP benefit shenanigans have folx robbing Peter to pay Paul, pulling money for food from rent & meds. Gonna need to fight to keep ppl housed 2-3 months from now

Jack White just thanked “the homeless, the powerless, and the forgotten” as he’s inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He said we should all always be thinking of and thanking them, and it really moved me.

9 November 1935 | A Dutch Jewish boy, Johnny van Voolen, was born in Haarlem. In September 1943, he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection. --- A short video showing the ruins of gas chamber and crematorium III: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ipQmBPAlJQ8
