Boy, he’s terrified of something. Trump Ramps Up Pressure on G.O.P. to Thwart Epstein Vote www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

I don’t think the Dems ever had a chance of getting Rs to vote for an ACA extension. I know this might make some people angry (understandably) but what this did do was pin this issue on the Rs. The Dems need to unite around that msg. Nothing will change unless Rs are voted out. Play the long game.

I don’t understand how the Dems will spin this as a win or even the right thing to do.

Venezuelans begin fleeing U.S. as protections end and threat of war looms. This WaPo article made me weep.

It would cost $38 billion dollars to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies for another year and ensure Americans don’t lose their healthcare. The republicans said no. Trump sent $40 billion to Argentina and they didn’t object. Argentina first, America last.

Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

Think of how many Subway sandwiches could have been bought for hungry people with the taxpayer $ that these dangerous knuckleheads spent on the felony and misdemeanor proceedings against the vindicated sandwich guy.

Not enough people are talking about this: Even before Trump cut off SNAP funding, he and Republicans in Congress made the biggest cuts to food assistance in U.S. history.

ICE agents crashed into a woman's car, dragged her out at gun point, and then later released her without charges. This isn't about public safety—it's about terrorizing our communities.

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

Kristi Noem blasts “foreigners” for dangerous driving. According to the Rapid City Journal, that state’s court records show Noem had 20 speeding tickets dating back to 1989, alongside other violations, including failure to stop at an intersection and invalid license plates.

Here’s a different angle of the video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground shared with the Tribune from a different source

How quickly we forget Right, JD?

The Trump administration has the responsibility to feed 42 million hungry Americans. SNAP has about $5 billion in an emergency fund and has the ability to transfer this money to provide funding to cover November benefits. Instead, they're leaving them hungry.

"[Not using the funding already allocated to keep SNAP going] is a decision the president is making--on his own--to allow people to go hungry."

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

No Kings protesters - stay peaceful. Don’t let them goad or brand you as anti-American. If necessary, greet ICE/Guard/law enforcement with singing of God Bless America, the national anthem or America the Beautiful…

40 billion. To a country most MAGA voters can't find on a map, know nothing about, and will never visit. Good thing all infrastructure and basic needs in America are fully funded 🙄🙄🙄

I don’t know why Mike Johnson and his ilk don’t realize that dear leader could easily come for them someday.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. But for many small business owners, the Affordable Care Act is the only way they can afford care for themselves and their families. Republican attempts to weaken the ACA will hurt our economy and our competitiveness.

In an unusual acknowledgment, the Labor Department said that tougher immigration enforcement is hurting farmers and the food supply 👇 Read more here: https://bit.ly/3J9Se6l #ResistTrump

No money for healthcare, no money for veterans, no money for farmers. But good news: Trump just doubled Argentina’s bailout to $40 billion.

Johnson says this as he continues to break the law by not allowing a plaque to recognize the officers who protected the Capitol on Jan. 6 to be displayed.

The plan to force taxpayers to cover emergency medical costs for non-citizens is a law called EMTALA: signed into law by the infamous democrat Ronald Reagan.

You might be losing your health care, but don’t worry — Republicans are hard at work wining and dining billionaires to fund Trump’s new ballroom.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”? Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is. You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

It’s about time some red state governors said this!

You heard it straight from Kennedy himself: Gold Standard Science is actually just data fabrication.

I have been warning about this, yet I was shot down for doing so. Anyone who engages in violence on Oct 18th is walking into a trap set by Stephen Miller. MLK and Tutu espoused nonviolence, so must we. Remain calm. Do not respond to provocation. Record & narrate all you see. #DemVoice1 #DV1

Best line of the morning (paraphrased a bit) goes to @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social - Most people don’t know what a clean CR is - something you have done at the hospital. ‘Oh, good. I had a clean CR. Don’t have to get another one for 10 years.’

President Trump is repealing federal funding and hurting American communities like he’s a vengeful king. It’s wrong, illegal, and Congress must push back.

Donald Trump: “We’re going after the worst of the worst.” ICE arrests two men at a Chicago area bakery. Workers, not criminals. And this is why they need the National Guard?

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Are his people showing him old media or telling him BS that make him think Portland is a ‘burning hell hole,’ is he just deluded, or knowingly lying?

This is over the top, even for him. He's lost his goddamn mind. His doctors need to speak up because at this point nobody else around him has the guts to do it

The brownshirts are everywhere. And they *will* come to your street eventually. This is not just going to happen to "other people."

One year ago. Trump says he wrote (to? about?) Osama bin Laden Trump’s lost in time and space and basically his brain is old cold oatmeal

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

The American people aren’t buying the Trump/GOP lies. Nearly half blame Trump and the GOP for the shutdown. Trump thinks if he causes Democrats enough pain, they will cave. Not realizing the pain he’s causing is on both sides of the aisle. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown Breaking through the noise.

Do immediately!!

On Monday, RFK posted a rambling video on the HHS X account showing a series of graphs and directly stating that vaccines have had minimal impact on human health and saving lives. Today, in response, we brought our own graphs. We will not let his dangerous nonsense go unanswered.

Priorities.

Well-said.
