One of the most valuable things I’ve ever read posted to social media. Clarifying and helpful. 👀

It's time for Schumer to step down from his post as minority leader and allow for new leadership to emerge—someone who is willing to consistently fight for the American people. sign.moveon.org/petitions/sc...

Stunned by the number of pundits on the news who are painting the Cave Caucus as heroes and dismissing all of us who are angry because we are "on line." And this includes pundits from both the left AND the right. Tells me everything I need to know.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

The next big Indivisible rally (No Vichy’s!) needs to be for demanding a housecleaning of Dem leadership.

Please, no!

Still Vice Chair. Still focused. Let’s make life better.

Any “deal” that ends with Dems just getting a pinky promise in return is a mistake. The American people are suffering because Republicans refuse to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing. An agreement that doesn’t fix that reality falls massively short.

I for one will welcome our Chinese overlords #Beerjacket #China #Tsingtao

Trump is calling on the GOP to kill the filibuster, and now Democrats cave? Sickening.

Nice summary.

i hope to see enterprising democrats announce their intent to retire schumer and gillibrand over the next two years.

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them. After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer." www.calonews.com/featured-top...

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

The people at @nytimes.com helped me make this video about sexism www.nytimes.com/video/opinio...

Let's do it. Let's get rid of the filibuster. Big step forward and actually the best possible circumstances for Ds. They've spent a month using their power to put draconian health care cuts at the top of the agenda. But ... I'm skeptical the GOP senate will go along. We'll see.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Donald Trump Jr. in 2021: “Those Hunter no-show no-experience board seats didn’t come without an expected return!” Donald Trump Jr. in 2024: Gets $2.8M in stock for joining an advisory board that didn't exist until he joined it. New: me, for @forbes.com 1/

even the democratic consultants are evaluating the democratic party according to the caricatures put out by republican-aligned media

I continue to sincerely want the term “Kavanaugh Stop” to be a badge of shame for the rest of Brett Kavanaugh’s days; the only bit of writing he’s known or remembered for; his sole contribution to the Law; for him to perceive, in little stabs of self-awareness, that this will be his rancid legacy.

And then they came for meemaw...

This is a masterclass in repeating carefully workshopped robotic talking points that miss the forest for the trees and are irrelevant to the question at hand: Trump chose to build a ballroom instead of funding programs that would feed those kids.

The Fred Trump treatment. Give him a fake job while Miller draws up missile strike plans on fishermen.

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...

STARTING SOON: Zohran Mamdani gives remarks about Islamophobia outside the Islamic Cultural Center of the Bronx

The fourth paragraph is politically obtuse, framing this as a battle between Trump’s heartfelt desire to put an “imprint” on the White House versus “the sensibilities of many in Washington.” NO! This is an attack upon the citizenry at large and upon the basic principles of republican governance.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

gotta say, the most powerful tech CEOs in the country each giving tens of millions of dollars to donald trump to illegally destroy a large section of the white house checks out in more ways than one

Boycott these fascists.

Love to see it

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go! Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest. /1

Where we stand, in long arc of history: -Story on left, adding race as a factor when that favors white people. -Story on right, banning race as a factor when that favors non-whites. I often complain about NYT headlines and story-play. But these are strong. Including "If Court Guts 1965 Law."

the government needs to stay shut down until the authoritarianism is meaningfully constrained or Republicans break the filibuster

EXCLUSIVE: Thousands of leaked messages show leaders of Young Republican groups joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape in a private Telegram chat. Inside rising GOP leaders’ racist chats — obtained by POLITICO and spanning more than 7 months👇

The far-right mouthpiece who told young men to clean up their place while in front of his very clearly messy home, now has contracted an illness from all the mold in his home. If you wrote such a fascist character in a story it would be deemed a silly caricature.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

If GOP wants to abolish the filibuster over this, awesome. It helps Rs way more than Ds. It’s also a central reason for loss of faith in government over the last 25 yrs. Rs can reopen the govt tonight if they want. If they want to do it to make sure 15 million lose their health care that’s on them.

George was just trying to get to work. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process. This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

The Kavanaugh stops by masked thugs must stop. @ncronline.bsky.social

You’ve gotta be kidding me. This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump. Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies. Really embarrassing stuff.
