#MaskedRepublicans used chemical irritants on protesters in St. Paul www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne... #BoycottRepublicanBusiness

The pro-Nick Fuentes Administration destroying people and institutions on the basis of “fighting antisemitism” has me losing my damn mind. The Nazi-sympathizers pretending to be protectors of American Jews has to be one of the most profound mindfucks in an era rife with them.

For over 5 years, Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of the people in Congress most disliked by Democrats. No death threats. It was only when she turned on Donald Trump that she got death threats. Just like Senators only received threats of violence after they wavered on Trump's cabinet nominations.

This makes me feel worse about the release of the #EpsteinTrumpFiles. Were the delays really an attempt to 🛑 it, or a stalling tactic to alter/destroy the damning records? Trump says House Republicans should vote to release Epstein files: 'We have nothing to hide' www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Keep going, Rogan! You’re almost there… 🤏

Prices aren't coming down. Trump lied. They started going up as soon as he took the wheel.

NPR reported this morning that, based on their review of the #Epstein emails released yesterday, Trump’s name appeared more than 1,000 times in the document— "I have met some very bad people, none as bad as #Trump. Not one decent cell in his body." - Jeffrey Epstein

"That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files" -- Rep. Grijalva

Portland Vets protest ICE and growing authoritarianism www.oregonlive.com/politics/202... #Oregon #Vets #ProtestICE

The bone headiest.

This is happening because Trump doesn't want Maxwell talking about Trump's behavior, not because Trump disapproved of Epstein's and Maxwell's behavior, as he and his suck-ups claim.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

🚨BREAKING: Democrats on the House Oversight Committee just released a small batch of emails purportedly written by Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 that claim Donald Trump had “spent hours at my house.” In the same email, Epstein wrote to Ghislaine Maxwell that Trump was the “dog that hasn’t barked.”

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.

FWIW, this deal isn’t finalized yet. If you want Democrats to keep fighting, call your Senator. The vote to advance the bill will likely succeed, but all that does is tee up a final up/down vote.

The Democrats who caved just taught Republicans that using mass starvation as a weapon works.

Pathetic. This isn’t a deal. It’s a surrender. Don’t bend the knee!

I am so fucking pissed that Schumer caved! Last Tuesday was a CLEAR SIGN that voters support fighters! That pussy just sold out any momentum and leverage the Dems had! THAT is why we’re not in power! THAT is why we’re not getting it back anytime soon.

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.

DO NOT CAVE!!!!! @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

The Gospel of Professional Christian Mike Johnson:

Community note for the win

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

We all knew he was a sociopathic narcissist but, wow. This pic speaks a thousand words.

VA Senate president has words for the MD senate president, who is the main obstacle to Dems redistricting in that state.

We, as a collective nation, really need to make this happen!! Trump, Russell Vought, & Stephen Miller want to create “pain” This is how we let them feel their own pain & serve it right back. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican. It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong. Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up. The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

👏 👏 👏

And terrifying… 😳

I would just like to ask the Republican Party to please put Stephen Miller in front cameras as much as possible from now until the midterms because he is such a likable & charismatic person with so many amazing & popular ideas for people who aren’t white Christian nationalists.

I didn’t think this night could get any better.

Congrats, Mayor Mamdani!

👀

Scott Jennings melted down on CNN over Zohran Mamdani’s likely win — ranting about “socialists” and tossing out a bizarre new slur, “Islamo-Marxist” Then David Hogg calmly torched the whole charade: “People are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country.”

The President of the United States (who was elected in part by the 90 million eligible voters who didn't bother to show up in the 2024 election) is REFUSING A COURT ORDER to pay SNAP benefits. In the richest nation on earth, people are going to starve. Elections. Have. Consequences. VOTE.

Rest In… something, Deadeye Dick. Former Vice President Dick Cheney dies at 84 www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28. If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.

More of THIS energy! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people. California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

TACO is NOT building a ballroom. He is building a bunker. Booze Allen is not an architecture firm. It’s a defense contractor.

Speaker Mike Johnson is perpetually trying to deceive people. He uses his milquetoast speech and persona to mask his determination to ruthlessly cause harm. He wears his “Christianity” on his sleeve as a decoy from his evil intentions. He is not a good person, he just tries to play one on TV.

More and more and more evidence of the most obviously rigged election in history. Not the first, just the most obvious. open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

We also wonder this

SNAP recipients work. That so many Americans rely on food assistance shows the deep rot of inequality in 🇺🇸. Corporations underpaying workers who then rely on the government is the real problem. CORPORATE WELFARE is the only welfare everyone should be blaming.
