Three fourth-grade boys were playing baseball and video games just days ago, but tonight they’ve been mysteriously transformed into toads in a nearby swamp set in New Orleans! #childrensbooks #middlegradebooks #magic #bullying #chapterbooks #fantasybooks #BookSky #MG www.amazon.com/dp/B0BXQPH4NQ

Ain't this the truth‼️

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Reminder that the Senate confirmed this underqualified alcoholic Major to oversee the entire US military. His inability to handle the stresses of the job should surprise no one. www.thedailybeast.com/pentagon-aid...

Today I spoke with a neighbor (a reliable Democratic voter) about Prop 50. She was dead set against it, but I was able to change her mind. She didn't understand that Republicans are stealing Democratic Congressional seats across the country. Talk to your friends & tell them to vote YES on Prop50!

The Right Wing came out fast with deceptive advertising — lies— against it. But with phonebanking like yours, and all the postcards and messaging, the truth about Prop 50 is spreading. Prop 50 is defense of democracy! #YesOnProp50

Ok but governors have power too. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/democratic...

Sending warm hugs and cozy wishes for a delightful night with the best of dreams!

You may not really want to be a 'big' writer. Our culture tends to pressure us to perform based on elevated status like money or fame. These are often false metrics that are more meaningful to others. You may write because you love it. It's fine. Hopefully you will still share #writingcommunity

The Man Behind Trump’s Push for an All-Powerful Presidency www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/u...

I ❤️ Portland 💙💙💙👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏽🫶🏼👊🏻✊🏼💙👇🏼

Democrats are fighting to save millions of Americans' healthcare while Donald Trump is posting insane racist disinfo slop

Under Trump’s leadership: He gives our taxpayer dollars to everyone except Americans. His strategy: Rigging the system so working people always come last.👇

I blame Republicans for the plight of rural hospitals. How about y'all?

REPUBLICANS THREATEN A SHUTDOWN! Republicans control the House, Senate, and Presidency. ➡️ “Each one of these Presidents (Biden, Clinton and Clinton) inherited an economy wrecked by a Republican, and each one left with a booming economy, only for the incoming Republican President to wreck it again.”

Oh man this man is so clever and articulate,... youtu.be/ZUdBaiDSwXs

Good night all sleep well.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Today I spoke with Greg Bovino, a top U.S. Border Patrol chief, as he led dozens of feds in military gear through downtown Chicago. He said they were arresting folks based on “how they look.” “How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said, referring to me. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

In a stunning violation of OPSEC, we’ll be announcing to our adversaries when and where all of our top military leaders will be. Doesn’t seem Pete learned much from Signalgate. His incompetence is staggering.

Let's show some love for Naomi Whitehead, the oldest living person in North America, who celebrated her 115th birthday this week, surrounded by generations of family in Greenville #BlackHistory www.yahoo.com/news/article...

It’s getting completely out of control in Portland… Vegetables are rioting in the street…👇

It was an honor to meet with @iamals.bsky.social and my friend Eric Dane to discuss the urgent need for progress in the fight against ALS. From investing in innovative treatments to ensuring access to quality care, we must do more to support patients, families, and researchers.

Sunset here in Oregon after a little morning drizzle. I wish all of you a peaceful evening! And blue skies tomorrow. 💙

Our eyes — and those of our veterans — will be on Secretary Hegseth's meeting for any potential constitutional violations.

Tell Republican leaders in Congress to pass a funding bill this week that reverses the cuts to our health care, keeps hospitals open, lowers the rising costs weighing down Americans, and saves our health care via @momsrising.org! action.momsrising.org/sign/2025-sp...

Between reports that Trump seemed surprised that Portland is not having any serious issues, and that he was surprised that the current budget will mess with people’s healthcare, seems that grandpa is being manipulated by his advisors (and Fox Disinformation). May be that Miller is now in charge 😬
