AYE. IF YOUR STATE/COUNTY IS HOLDING ELECTIONS, GO VOTE. DO YOUR RESEARCH AND GO VOTE. YOUR LOCAL ELECTIONS AFFECT YOU JUST AS MUCH, IF NOT MORE, THAN THE NATIONAL ONES. WE ALL HAVE A LOT TO SAY, SO MAKE YOUR POINT HEARD AT THE POLLS.

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

It's Been Over One Month since Adelita Grijalva was Elected SQUEAKER Johnson ! What The Fuck Are You Hiding ? Oh yeah, RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Contest every race. Have a candidate in every race on every ballot in every county in every state. Run even if you know you can’t win. Run because you know you can’t win. No seat uncontested. Bring the fight to every ballot.

We’re giving $40 billion to Argentina. This is $5 billion MORE that the entire USAID budget that DOGE cut.

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.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high. SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”. Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers. People need & deserve assistance Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich Be mad about that

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Thanks Elon and Donny!

The GOP-led Congress has been out of session for too long. The House is not shut down. They’re getting paid and should be working.

Send troops to San Francisco and we will sue you.

The Home Depot continues to allow ICE to terrorize the communities they pretend to serve. Let’s show them the same kindness we did to target! use the website boycotthomedepot.network and the toolkit at bit.ly/boycotthomed... to spread the word!

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters. I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes. It makes far more sense to interdict them.

Brunch over healthcare? Millions of Americans face soaring premiums while Senate Republicans sip mimosas at the White House. Leadership? Nope. Negligence and arrogance. That’s what this is.

Because he’s doing his job…reporting. Because we still live in a free country with a First Amendment and a free press.

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

I used to be a one-issue 2028 voter, which issue being you will prosecute and jail all of them; I add an issue: If that ballroom carbuncle is completed, it must be razed.

“The president demolished the White House.” “The president politicized the FBI and DOJ to go after his opponents.” “The president is why life is more expensive today.” “The president was besties with Epstein.” Messaging isn’t hard and makes you wonder why Dems aren’t saying this every day.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

I guess people had short memories.

Well, well, well...

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

The preznit is demanding $230M of taxpayer money because "...I was damaged very greatly, and any money that I would get, I would give to charity.” "Charity." Meanwhile, millions are increasingly unable to afford food, shelter, healthcare.

What's up next?

Just a reminder Presidents Obama amd Biden deported nearly 8 million people without any of this.

Demand impeachment, plain and simple.

I am at the point I cannot watch or listen to the President of the United States. I cannot listen to anyone in his Cabinet including the House Speaker. Isn’t that a sad day when people in power lie daily on air & in social media?

Asking earnestly, how is the ballroom project at all legal under the Anti Deficiency Act? www.gao.gov/legal/approp...

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅ Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅ Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅ Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅ #Ugh🤢✅

We can shut it all down. Start organizing your communities. We will need to prep with strike funds and mutual aid networks. #50501Movement #GeneralStrike

ICE fired shots again, hitting a civilian and a U.S. marshal. DHS, once again, is claiming the man rammed ICE with his car. Let’s see how long before that version of events unravels. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Who’s with us?!

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

This long ago stopped being just about Adelita Grijalva.

NEW: AZ AG Kris Mayes and Adelita Grijalva have filed suit asking the court to declare Grijalva a member of the House once she's sworn in, and if Johnson won't do it, to allow someone else to. www.abc15.com/news/state/a...
