So grateful for @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social - for being the 218th signature on the discharge petition to ask for a vote on the Epstein files! And grateful for my friend, Carrie, who wore her Epstein birthday card bodysuit up and down the House halls to ask reps to #ReleasetheEpsteinfiles!

Thank you to @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social for being the 218th signature on the discharge petition to ask for a vote on the Epstein files! And thank you for my friend, Carrie, who wore her Epstein birthday card bodysuit today to ask House members to #ReleasetheEpsteinfiles!

"The ban goes into effect 365 days after the spending bill is signed by President Donald Trump. Trump supports the #hemp restrictions, an unnamed White House official told NBC News earlier in the week." mjbizdaily.com/28-billion-i... #Cannabis #MMJ

“We can’t answer right now because we’re working on our messaging about how teenage girls aren’t that young and all this is okay.”

BREAKING: Trump illegally sent innocent Venezuelan migrants to a torture prison in El Salvador where they were forced to perform oral sex on the Salvadoran prison guards. Trump is a sicko!

Congratulations to Mike Johnson on somehow turning the prosaic swearing-in of a random nepo-congressperson into the most highly anticipated political even of the year

Karoline Leavitt claimed today that Trump was always "extremely professional" while hanging out with [checks notes] Jeffrey Epstein

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me. I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

Wednesday protesting at the White House #ReleasetheEpsteinFiles

⚡️ JUST NOW: CONGRESSWOMAN GRIJALVA SWORN IN…

Did Underage Girls Ruin Politics? Tomorrow in the @nytimes.com

For those in the back… in the front… and on the sides:

To the 8 senators who voted to give up the only leverage they had and trust the GOP:

Protested today at the White House and ran into the musical artist, Grandson. First time in 9 months of protesting at the White House that I’ve met an artist I know. He was really nice, too!

Grandson singing “Dirty” at the White House. I’ve been protesting for 9 months at the White House and this is the first time I’ve met an artist I know and like. He was really nice, too!

So here's where we are, Sunday morning: Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases. So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care. Dystopian.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

They panic about fertility rates, say families need to be having more children, then they starve the kids and ensure health insurance is impossible to afford. Plus all the other things that would dissuade people from having kids: houses impossible to buy, diminishing middle class, ICE everywhere.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

If the system requires starving people as a legal strategy, maybe we should change the system!

HE'S APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STARVE AMERICANS

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Priorities. [Cartoon by Michael de Adder]

The press lost its shit for weeks at the mere thought of referring to Trump and his political movement as "fascist." Republicans meanwhile use every -ist epithet they can muster against Democrats of any stripe and the press doesn't say a word.

Yasssssss

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)

This is the perfect picture metaphor for America under Trump and MAGA

WOOOHOOO! Sandwich Guy! Sandwich Guy!

😀 SANDWICH GUY EXONERATED‼️

We have reached a verdict: Not guilty.

NOT GUILTY!!! www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Even this orange man agrees we’re going to make DC a state ✊✊

Republicans would rather ruin your Thanksgiving travel plans than lower your health care costs.

Mike Knows!

Don't tempt us with a good time, Mike Johnson!

Republicans are throwing a tantrum because Californians stood up to Donald Trump's election-rigging scheme. Cry harder.

A highlight of last night I'm not seeing much today: Spanberger, Shirrell, and Mamdani all won clear majorities of young male voters last night.

It's been a few days since Trump announced his "deal" with Xi. It's now clear that Trump got fleeced. America gave up lots and got nothing. It's a story you should know bc few things matter more than the U.S.-China relationship. 1/ So here's a🧵

LINA KHAN is on Mamdani’s transition team???????? LET’S GOOOOOO

Day 3 of the “no more than 2” day trial of Sandwich Guy. The prosecution intends to rest; the defense hasn’t decided yet. Dispute over jury instructions continues, a few morsels (sorry) to follow.

😎😎😎😎 GOOD THINGS CAN STILL HAPPEN 😎😎😎😎

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

Protested at the Capitol & White House today, then went home to watch the blue wave election. 💙💙💙 Use the wave to give you the energy to call your reps and tell them: 1. Swear in Adelita Grijalva 2. Give us back our healthcare subsidies 3. Open the government & vote on releasing the Epstein files!

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

I for one enjoy blue wave bluesky.

HELL YEAH! I went to a statewide Maine Indivisible convening a few weeks ago, and defeating this was the top priority from the group.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.
