Americans can never forget that Trump and his GOP cronies put all their energy into withholding SNAP and starving Americans. They have stopped at nothing to make their constituents go hungry during a shutdown they refuse to end. The GOP doesn't deserve any seats in our government. Vote them out.

Mamdani's all-female transition team looks incredible. They're competent, qualified professionals, the shining stars of their areas of expertise. This is how DEI works. When opportunities are fair and free of bias toward white men, the truly talented can rise. Great start.

Tonight's election results show that the Trump regime's treasonous, discriminatory policies are deeply unpopular. People are waking up. Today is a beacon of hope. Congrats to every Democratic nominee, official, and judge who won tonight.

Zohran Mamdani wins the NYC mayoral election! Congratulations New Yorkers, this is a huge win for working-class citizens and those fighting the corruption of billionaires and the GOP pundits. Though he faces a tough road ahead, glad to see all he'll accomplish going forward.

Congrats to Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger in Virginia! Voters in these states understood the assignment. We need people like them who will fight for democracy. Keep voting the GOP cult out of every level of government.

Tomorrow, November 4, get out and vote for the Democratic nominees at every level of government in your state. No more staying home just because your nominee is too moderate or too left. We can't afford to let more of Trump's GOP minions into office at any level. Protect democracy.

Food banks can purchase food wholesale at much lower rates than a consumer would pay. Even a few dollars can go a long way to help people who can't access SNAP benefits. If you can, donate to your local food bank. Nobody deserves to be hungry, especially during the Thanksgiving season.

Happy Halloween from my wife and me. 🎃

Vote yes on Prop 50 in California on November 4. Ignoring the GOP's map fight won't protect fair representation. Show other blue states Californians are fighting back against the GOP's underhanded tactics.

If you're eligible to vote in New Jersey's gubernatorial election on November 4, show your support and vote for Mikie Sherrill. Based on recent polls, this race is extremely close. Vote for someone willing to stop MAGA insanity. Staying home on Election Day is no longer an option.

Hurricane Melissa made landfall this morning with wind speeds over 185 miles per hour. It is hard to even conceptualize how powerful and destructive this storm is. It is currently more powerful than Milton was. If you pray, pray for Jamaica. #Melissa

Climate change makes hurricanes moisture-rich and slower-moving, while warming the ocean and raising sea levels. Hurricane Melissa is the perfect example of this pattern. Climate change threatens society as we know it. We cannot continue to ignore this.

Since the GOP's treasonous bill removes subsidies of the Affordable Care Act, average Americans are expected to pay over a 100% increase in monthly insurance fees next year. This is why Democrats can't bend to MAGA House demands. Our nation's health depends on their holding the line.

On November 4, make sure to vote for Abigail Spanberger in the Virginia gubernatorial election and Zohran Mamdani in the NYC mayoral election. Show your support for those who are running to fight fascism in our government.

Trump's demolishing of the White House East Wing to build his ballroom tells us that he doesn't intend to leave the White House. The GOP minions are going to use anything to defend their cult leader so he can stay in the White House. This won't end well, and is indefensible.

SNAP benefits will run out in some states next month because of the government shutdown. Low-income families will be unable to feed themselves during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. Trump and his GOP cronies don't care about Americans being hungry. Those who voted for this should be ashamed.

Don't get a tattoo of something you don't fully understand. Graham Platner can tell you that that is a hard lesson to learn.

AI video has improved rapidly in recent months. There is no doubt it will be used to further right-wing propaganda. Digital literacy is going to become even more essential. Being informed is not passive. It's a constant, active process. Stay alert. Stay educated. Don't fall for alt-right propaganda.

Since public health and science have been dismantled by Trump's regime, this is another protest coming up in the DC area to draw awareness to these issues.

Big kudos to those who joined No Kings today. Remember, you are the real patriots, not the fascists pushing a Christian nationalist agenda of hate. Keep defending the United States of America and its democracy.

All blue states need to start working on redrawing district maps to stop the GOP heist of our country. They're already preparing to steal seats in the midterms through gerrymandering. Ignoring the map fight won't work if we want to keep fair representation.

All major media outlets, even Fox News, have refused to sign the Pentagon's media pledge. The pledge aims to bar reporters from publishing anything Trump's regime doesn't like, or to deny them access to the Pentagon. These media outlets now lack access to the Pentagon. Completely unconstitutional.

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day. May this day serve as a reminder to venerate those who were here before us, and continue to condemn the damage caused by colonization that continues today.

Sushi is looking devilishly handsome. Noodle-Cat in the background is just looking devilish. Such silly boys. 🍣🍜🐾 #caturday

Congrats to Maria Corina Machado for the Nobel Peace Prize. It's more important than ever to honor people who are actually trying to preserve democracy. You fight to get democracy, it's not something that's given. Keep fighting just like she fought against the authoritarian regime in Venezuela.

The Insurrection Act and Martial Law are different. The main difference between them is whether we have constitutional rights or not. You have freedom of movement under the Insurrection Act. Under Martial Law, you have no rights. We need to understand these nuances. They will be used against us.

Democracy isn't automatic. It's something we have to fight for again and again. Apathy is how we'll lose it.

October 18 is No Kings Day. If you're white, especially a white man, use your privilege to help save democracy. Those least at risk of racial profiling should be at the front of these protests. The future of America depends on you.

People misunderstand how DEI works. Before DEI, the best white man got the job, and when they ran out of white men to hire, they might consider minorities like women, POCs, and those with disabilities. DEI stops that discrimination. Think before you hate it.

Kumo-cat! ✨ Majestic house panther, the guardian cat of the house, and heavyweight snuggle champion. 🏆 We love our big black spooky cat. 🐈‍⬛🐾 #caturday

Leavitt complains about undocumented immigrants getting ER care, but that was signed into law by Ronald Reagan to ensure patients wouldn't be abandoned just because they couldn't pay. She's whining about Republican policy. Pretty bad when Reagan makes you look generous.

There is no federal healthcare program for undocumented immigrants. They don't qualify for nearly any federal benefit programs, even though they pay billions in taxes. What the GOP cult claims is pure propaganda.

Jane Goodall reminded humanity that we are part of nature, not above it. Rest in peace, Dr. Goodall.

There's a massive shift in U.K. law and policy restricting trans people's access to "single-sex spaces." This isn't only about bathrooms. It includes hospital wards, schools, workplaces, and public institutions that impose rules on who can use facilities. This is the newest form of segregation.

Reminder: Court appearances are still required during a government shutdown. So make smart choices and don't miss them.

Both Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are absolute lunatics, but we need to take their words seriously. These are not the ramblings of madmen with no influence. They are coming from those in power. They are calling some Americans the enemy and declaring war on them. This is urgent.

Trump is once again calling for tariffs on movies. He is astoundingly stupid, so it's no surprise he doesn't understand how intellectual property is different from physical goods. Good luck defining what a tariff on intellectual property even means. He's exhausting.

The Second Amendment's purpose was to defend states, protect liberties, enable resistance to tyranny, and allow self-defense. It was not meant for individuals to commit mass shootings in schools or churches. We need gun control because those morons don't understand the Constitution.

Kemi-cat, in his 'paint me like one of your French girls' era. He's so cute in his roly-polyness. Our spooky little puff. 🐾❤️ #caturday

Treasonous Trump posted that his mindless minions are deploying troops to unleash "full force" against civilians in Portland. He is a national security threat who orders terror against his own people. If you are deporting people over national security, then this tyrannical lunatic should be first.

Sinclair and Nexstar will resume airing Jimmy Kimmel. Public pressure worked. A prime example of how to push back and stop the spineless, money-hungry media from bending the knee to their Orange Overlord. Remember, money is the only language these greedy lackeys understand. Good work.

Hegseth is ordering the top military officials to gather for a meeting in Virginia. This is unbelievably stupid strategically. He's ignoring the risk of attacks when that many commanders are in the same place. His lack of qualifications is on full display just for him to show off. Idiot.

All the victims at the Dallas ICE facility are detainees, but somehow Trump's regime decides it's a violent crime against ICE. Anyone with critical thinking skills can see that the real victims were not the agents. This is why fascists attack intellectualism and education. Stupidity = Complicity.

Besides Trump and RFK Jr.'s idiocy, their rhetoric against Tylenol is rooted in the idea of making women suffer pain. Tylenol is the only pregnancy-approved pain medicine. They will take it away, and blame women for it.

Mango Moron thinks Tylenol causes autism. Next week he'll claim Band-Aids cause Antifa. Don't elect people with IQs lower than their age, please. I'm begging you.

SCOTUS being lawless isn't new, but we should be prepared for their unjust decisions to target the banning of same-gender and interracial marriage, nationwide abortion access, and women's financial independence. Eventually, they'll enable prosecution of trans people, and end civil rights altogether.

There is no such thing as a "transgender ideology" or a "gay agenda." Gender identity is neither an ideology nor an agenda. Our failed education system has led to people throwing around words they don't understand. This level of stupidity is fucking shameful.

If you canceled anything Disney, you made the right decision. And if you feel like you've lost some joy, remember there are plenty of books, music, and video games to bring you happiness. Start supporting small artists and creators. They'll appreciate you so much more than Disney ever would.

The legendary Willie Nelson was perfect at Farm Aid. His bluesy, jazzy phrasing is truly one of a kind.

Whiskey River is one of my favorite songs from the legendary Willie Nelson. He sounds great at Farm Aid.
