This morning, I spoke at the SOMOS Labor Breakfast. "We are not looking to remake New York City in my image. We are looking to remake it in the image of struggling workers across the five boroughs."

Harry Truman: If it benefits all the people, they call it socialism.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

ICE is inflicting a lifetime of trauma on families. And it’s being carried out in the name of the United States of America.

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask. Cowards

A deep commitment to anti-wokeness

Mockler: The way that Donald Trump speaks about the democratic party, the way that Donald Trump speaks about people who disagree with him, has normalized his extremist rhetoric. He said that we were gnats who need to be taken care of in front of the military.

Disruptions to SNAP during the government shutdown have left recipients facing imminent hunger, unable to restock their pantries or refrigerators.

Gorsuch finally starting to understand what they have unleashed

Mockler: JD Vance needs to come out and condemn this. When the young Republican group chat leaked, he muddied the waters, do you not see the normalization that's happening?

This shutdown is now the longest in history – that’s not an accomplishment. Trump and MAGA Mike Johnson should be working around the clock to get the government open. Instead, House Republicans are still AWOL.

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

TARIFFS ARE TAXES

Please stop falling for the MTG is a new person con. Please.

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

Most of those agents have not completed background checks or fingerprinting. Very easily could be pedophiles or traffickers

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 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.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums. He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up. How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx. It was a little different last week.

Trump: "You know, you have a thing called the Insurrection Act...I could use that immediately and no judge can even challenge you on that." O'Donnell: "So you're going to send the military into American cities?" Trump: "Well, if I wanted to I could."

Holy false teeth

We gain an hour sleep tonight, which will surely make up for 6,840 hours of sleep we’ve lost since January 20.

NBC's new poll say the most important issue for deciding who to support for Congress is: "Protecting constitutional rights/protecting democracy." If you agree, I suggest you subscribe the news outlet that focuses like a laser on just that. Sign up for Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me. He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits… …while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

That a federal judge had to block the Trump administration from pushing millions of Americans into hunger says everything about this President and the party he leads. Grateful to our Attorney General for being on the frontlines of this fight.

wait but Speaker Johnson said there was no contingency fund? 🤷🏼

Shapiro: I just heard from a woman who spoke at the press conference where I announced the disaster declaration. She’s got 30 bucks left on her SNAP card to get her through the holidays here in November…

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.
