Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Let the prosecutions begin . . .

So there isn’t enough money for SNAP benefits to help feed people and there isn’t enough money to make healthcare more affordable, but there is money for the orange felon’s $250M ballroom, $230M to pay himself with and $40B to give to Argentina’s dictator. I hate fascists.

Imagine a judge saying, “You have the funds to feed hungry Americans. This should not be happening,” and the President of the United States replying, “Nah.” Because that’s what’s happening, right before the holidays.

Stefanik is running for governor.

While our airports are in chaos, the Transportation Secretary is flying to a campaign fundraiser for his son-in-law.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. 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.

🔥 @agiftfromtodd.bsky.social : "Y’all get it now?? Do you understand what’s possible? I don't wanna hear no more 'my vote doesn't matter. Nothing ever changes.' Look what happens when you participate. We win everything. There are more of us… for the rest of your damn life, you gotta vote.”

Moses Mike thinks that shutting down the Government will make the EPSTEIN files go away! Well guess what? THE POWER THE OF THE PEOPLE SAY OTHERWISE!!!!! STARVING AMERICANS IS INHUMANE! Congress pushing back on the EPSTEIN FILES shows so much GUILT that it's time to #ReleaseTheFiles

A vote for Cuomo is a vote for MAGA and Trump.

Marjorie Taylor Greene on The View (!!!): "The worst thing that I just can't get over is we're not working right now. And I put that criticism directly on the Speaker of the House. We should be at work."

There is a distinct possibility that some people are too stupid to participate in a democracy

Bomb threats to heavily democrat districts sent out on election day, similar incidents targeting democrat prominent polling stations occurred during the 2024 US election. Trump, MAGA, and Israel have been spreading violent rhetoric to discourage or influence voters throughout the campaign.

Zohran Mamdani on the bomb threats sent to polling stations: “These bomb threats are not isolated, they’re the logical outcome of Trump’s fear campaign.”

This is a classic form of voter intimidation—making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.

It’s Election Day with critical races in several states. This is the first general election where voters get to tell Donald Trump what they think of him so far. Don’t miss your chance to make your voice heard! Vote like your country depends on it. Because it does.

My condolences to former U.S. representative for Wyoming, Liz Cheney, known for her vocal opposition to Donald Trump, for the passing of her father. 🙏🏼🕯️🕊️

Applying for a job at I.C.E.? Here are some tips to help nail your interview!

Pelosi: November 1, when people would start losing their snap benefits and what did the president do? He had a great gatsby party at mar-a-lago.

Democrats MUST turnout today. Make sure to vote today...and bring a friend.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @deadder.bsky.social )

Someone needs to be projecting videos of people being dragged out of cars, homes, work onto Brett Kavanaugh’s house and the SCOTUS building.

Breaking! Republican Party in talks to change animal symbol from elephant to ostrich to better demonstrate how they operate in DC.

Multiple senior Trump officials are moving onto military bases. That’s not normal behavior. So ask yourself, is it really about their safety, or is the stage being set for something bigger?

O’Donnell could have followed up by saying that going back to 2016 Trump promised a health care plan “much better” than Obamacare, how it would be”easy” and yet we have never seen anything from him 9 years later. But that would be real journalism, not something a lightweight like O’Donnell practices

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

After decades of enjoying the show 60 Minutes...I will likely. Never. Watch. It. Again. It's only a fond memory, now. It no longer exists.

With all these extrajudicial boat murders, we have a president who is not only an adjudicated rapist, but also an unapprehended serial killer.

Just so we’re all on the same page.

This is an excellent idea!!!

Alleged “fraud” -- that's their excuse. The Republican Party wants to cut food assistance for Americans on EBT. While ICE has arrested and shackled 170+ U.S. citizens, even shot and harassed some. And their leader says they're not going far enough. Make it make sense. #GOPLogic

NY STATE ELECTIONS: VOTE UPSTATE IF YOU LIVE IN NYC & HAVE A SECOND HOME! NY19 Columbia County Sheriff race is critical. VOTE JACKIE SALAVATORE FOR SHERIFF www.jackieforsheriff.com

Trump’s trying to intimidate voters by sending the DOJ to CA to “monitor” the election. Here’s the thing—over 5.9 million ballots have already been returned in the Prop 50 special election. Most folks, like myself, are dropping theirs off and couldn’t care less about the scare tactics. #YesOnProp50

BREAKING - President Obama: "They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and blame DEI for every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? Must be DEI. Your wife kicked you out? DEI. Who knew?"

Trump’s whole administration is the epitome of “let them eat cake”

You know what’s broke? That Congress gets reimbursed $79 a day for meals and a SNAP recipient gets $6.16 a day for food.

The GOP claims SNAP is "corrupt", but ICE is allowed to do and spend whatever they want.

This…

The Dems should be running ads explaining that THIS is why the shutdown is happening.

It’s like we’re living in Tsarist Russia and we’re outside freezing in the snow, peering through windows into ballrooms where the rich and powerful dance the night away. This mocks the suffering of millions. Cruelty is not only the point, it’s the entertainment.
