Jesus Christ, @kaine.senate.gov, getting a pinky promise to hold one single vote on ACA funding is not "a path toward fixing the health care mess" anymore than a lottery ticket is a "path toward fixing my personal finances"

Ma’am 🔥🔥🔥 #NancyPelosi

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

The #1 lesson from yesterday’s blowout: Humanities majors killed on the job market 1) Mamdani- Africana Studies 2) Spanberger -French 3) Sherill - Global History

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

Last night, we ended a Republican supermajority in Mississippi. www.mississippifreepress.org/mississippi-...

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.

We took out the LAST Republican on the Orlando City Council!!! Congrats to Commisioner-Elect Tom Keen! And thanks to all of our volunteers and Organizers that knocked hella doors and spent all day today on the phone to Get Out The Vote!

"MUSSTTTAAAARRRRDDDDDD!"

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans. Nero would be proud.

Today, New Mexico launched its universal childcare initiative. Last month I wrote about it for Roosevelt Institute -- historic state endeavors like this should show lawmakers at all levels of government that Americans are sick and tired of waiting for bold action on childcare. shorturl.at/Sm2tZ

Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

Speaker Johnson has decided to keep the House in recess all through next week. This will be the seventh consecutive week of recess for the chamber. It has not been in session since Sept. 19.

This is like the third or fourth high-level staffer departing in the past month, which is historically not a great sign for a campaign or candidate. If you're still defending Platner, ask yourself why the people closest to him aren't.

Really worth listening to

I’m not going to take the turkey out of the freezer until it’s defrosted.

If you think Trump can’t misuse the nuclear codes because "people would stop him" well those same people just watched him bulldoze a wing of the White House.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o... “working class” has become a powerful political totem of its own — a discursive sleight of hand used to separate out white voters’ concerns as more legitimate, more materially grounded, more important than other voters’ concerns." Really good piece.

We should not be having a debate about Nazi symbolism tattooed on the potentially top ticket Democrat in Maine. The fact we are even willing to entertain it shows desperation within the Party, not dedication, and how far we have fallen from rational thought.

“Hello? 911? Someone called their mother’s cousin an auntie.”

No comparison. When Biden so much as tripped, it was a week-long story. When Trump has no idea where he is and drifts off mid-event— media silence. This isn’t the first time. What’s up?!

Mike Johnson describes Trump’s mental decline and unhinged behavior.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage. The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn. No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Weekend read? In honour of D Harvey’s birthday, I revisit Marx, Capital & the Madness of Economic Reason. I challenge the ‘polycrisis’ narrative, focus on capital & use a physics analogy to explain value. Happy birthday, David Harvey! 🎉🎂 www.versobooks.com/en-gb/blogs/... @versobooks.bsky.social

I don’t need to explain why it’s wildly unacceptable for the military to be illegally privately financed by the president’s wealthy allies, right?

“Mexico will pay for the wall” walked so “private donors are paying for the ballroom” could run.

If Melania doesn't want to work, just say so. Disgraceful

Just disgusting.

*all of the White House. Is there something protecting the rest of the campus from which the East Wing was exempt? This has been so easy, I would be surprised if he doesn't `update' his plans and tear even more down. "That's how construction goes...you get started and find a problem..."

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

The LEAST intense energy that every masked ICE Gestapo-like secret police agent deserves from every American who values their freedom. 🖕 #AbolishICE

An amazing story of this decade was the ADL turning all its fire on Israel critics while tech companies dismantled their censors and Hitler-lovers came roaring back.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

The ceasefire agreement for which Trump received an avalanche of praise—including a TIME cover—lasted six days. Six days.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

lol “find your own instead of stealing” in defense of columbus day

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight. As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.
