The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

Seems like a good time for the Speaker of the House to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

Looks like “Lameduckmas” came early this year!

Almost 42 million people are losing their food aid today.

Republicans need to come back from their month-long paid vacation and do the work of democracy. Cancel the health care cuts. Reopen the government. Restore nutrition. Release the Epstein File. Cut the crap.

Retired intelligence analysts confirm what the political scientists are telling us — and what the world outside is telling us — the goal of these people is the end of law, the end of democracy, and the end of a recognizable republic. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House. Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

I am not at all optimistic about the prospects for our country. But I do know one thing - if there is to be any hope at all, it will be because we organized, because we joined forces, because the one thing we believe in, is "We the People..."

This Supreme Court is going to overturn Obergefell. Just be prepared and plan for it accordingly.

Play hardball, Democrats. This is the only way to take on a corrupt, authoritarian Trump regime playing for all the marbles. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/u...

This video attempts to answer the question everyone is asking: “Can a president remodel or demolish the White House? Technically no.” Kind of late now. Trump already turned a National Historic Landmark into a pile of rubble.

“We have no idea what you’re talking about, or what Republican extremist fed you those talking points.” @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social tosses aside Mike Lindell’s *reporter*’s foolishness and explains how Republicans drastically slashed health care to give tax cuts to the rich.

Translation: no Democrat will ever be allowed, again, to gain control of the White House, House, or Senate.

Carney: But this decades-long process of an ever-closer economic relationship with the United States is now over. And as a consequence, many of our former strengths as a country—more particularly, our economic strengths based on close ties to America—have now become our vulnerabilities…

Whoever is the next Democratic presidential candidate should vow to tear down the hideous ballroom and rebuild the Rose Garden, I bet there are a lot of votes in that

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

Remember when Hillary Clinton got excoriated for calling Trump supporters “deplorables”

Republicans won’t show up to vote on paying our troops during the shutdown because avoiding a vote on the Epstein files to protect Trump and his friends is more important.

Some cases take on outsized importance, with issues that transcend the decision the parties ask the courts to make. This is one of those cases. The stakes are high: the integrity of the Justice Department and the ability of a president to corrupt the rule of law. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Blue states need to band together to protect immigrants, science, health, and our values. Some of this is happening already, we just need to face what more we can and must do www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This!! For the love of the gods, this! 👇 We are hopelessly and forever divided as a country, culturally, economically and ethically. Our values are irreconcilably opposed to red state values. Status quo is not going to fix or change anything.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.
