Texas Tribune is an excellent news source & Greg Abbott is a slimeball, in my opinion When Congressman Turner died just after taking office in January, it was up to Abbott to schedule special election. After slow-walking for months, it will be almost a year this district has gone w/o representation

My socks for today

When you raise debt to give tax cuts to rich, what do you get? More debt as gazillionaires don't need $ from cuts to invest in good opportunities, contrary to what piss-down econ wouldhave you believe But spending tax $ on projects strengthens infrastructure & creates jobs that PAY TAXES INTO SYSTEM

The average price of turkey under Pres Biden was $1.68/lb last year. The average price of turkey under 🍊💩 is $2.31/lb. That's the truth and you know where you can stuff it!

There is no federal law enforcement left that has not been corrupted. This is a problem now but will be a bigger problem when a peaceful transfer of power is needed..... The Republicans will not go gently into that good night.

I can handle two topics at the same time. Today's dog park attire. Make sure you read the buttons.

I just created and ordered this.

If you retired early & collect Social Security but still work as one can't cover one's expenses on SS alone, you'll be taxed at 50% once you earn more than $23,400. So while those benefits aren't sufficient to live on, you're penalized with 50% tax. Can we apply that tax to all earnings over 5M?

Cruel, corrupt and dumb, the Republican trifecta.

Isn't trump what most Republicans have always wanted? A "leader" who is corrupt, mean and dumb? God knows they've come close before but this time they hit the nail on the (empty) head.

Never forget the Repubs in Congress shut down the gov't in order totry to force Dems to go along with making healthcare unaffordable for millions. Congressional Repubs could have said no but THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN IMPROVING AVERAGE AMERICANS LIVES, as it doesn't benefit them financially.

Conservatism as a political movement to improve life is as effective as a sandwich is as a weapon. 😉

There are only two reasons to ever vote Republican. 1). You really don't understand the difference between what they say they will do & what they actually do every time one is voted in (show me where they've been "fiscally responsible"). 2) You're morally bankrupt like the people for whom you vote

😆😆. You may recognize this as the go-to emoji of right-wingers who are astute enough to know they've been dissed but not astute enough to think of a comeback ( especially when there is no legit comeback that would make ANYTHING that comes out of a Republican sound sane or logical).

Guess he's getting tired of looking like an idiot.

Yes, tariffs are taxes. Most of us understand that simple truth.

The average price of turkey under Pres Biden was $1.68/lb last year. The average price of turkey under 🍊💩 is $2.31/lb. That's the truth and you know where you can stuff it!

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

Non-gazillionaire Repub voters aren't analytical thinkers. Not being mean but if they believe $ is pissed down when billionaires get yet another tax break, it's clear to me they aren't analyzing the data. Or they've decided the cost of hating on others is worth it. Take your pick, one or the other.

I wonder if more Republican voters are complicit or just ignorant?????

If you are someone in my life and you have a problem with me standing up for what's right and abiding by my principles, I'm okay with that. I'll stand by my principles every time.

Why are right-wingers so motivated by fear? Fear of change. Fear of difference. Fear of progress. Fear of education. Fear of facts. Fear of books. Fear of life-saving vaccines. Fear of strangers. Fear of science.

In more good news around the country ...

California redistricting Prop. 50 PASSED!

And Maine rejects conservative attempts to restrict voting!!! Go Democracy!

It boils down to this. The Democratic party supports democracy. The conservative Republican party does NOT support democracy and prefers autocracy. This is not new, it is just more obvious.

Can you imagine how good this country would be doing if we had elected Harris instead of 🍊💩? Maybe, instead of having to present ID at a polling place, one should present IQ test scores?! 😉😜

Can you imagine how ignorant one must be to be in the 32%!?!?!??

I think I caught a glimpse of the Republican healthcare plan. 1) Don't get sick 2) If you get sick, die quickly. Remember girls and boys, one can't be more ignorant than a Republican voter.

If you think trump is the brains for this coup d'etat you are truly missing the point.

Want to reduce SNAP benefits? Make Walmart & other corps pay a living wage. Executives don't need to make 290 times more than average worker. When extreme high levels of income are taxed higher, it becomes less appealing to screw the workers to gain mere pittance increase of net income. Get it?

44% of folks getting SNAP benefits are white. I'd like to see how many vote Repub. Guessing there's high correlation between poverty & lack of education (people lacking education, formal or informal, are more likely to vote Repub, statistically speaking ). This is voting AGAINST one's own interests

Thorn- getting less Reposts than Orange Trump but will not make it to #Halloween bc no1 wants 2save or repost this goofy #furry face! Where is the love 4him? NY NJ NH NE RI VT ME MA MD DC DE PA CT VA TRANSPORT/food/vet provided! Just FOSTER! He’s just like #art-timeless! 🚨 #NoKings #FuckTrump

16,000,000 Americans will go hungry because little Mikey Johnson doesn't want to release the Epstein list of men who couldn't keep their Johnsons out of young victimized girls.

Whether it's 🍊💩 or Vance or someone else of right-wing billionaires' choosing, they've no intention of having a peaceful transfer in 2029. When you understand there's no peaceful lever to enforce the transfer & you understand the priority of conservatives (hate), why would they leave? They won't.

ICE got arrested in LA!!!!!!!!

Just curious. Since protesting is one of the few ways we can take a stand for democracy, I'm curious as to why anyone who is physically able to do so, doesn't join the cause. Anyone want to share?

Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein. Epstein.

This is what happens when the young people applying for ICE jobs have done nothing but play video war games, while living in their parents' basement. 😆

people chant "we stand with you!" as Letitia James tries to speak outside a courthouse in Virginia

Remember girls and boys, conservative voters like dumb "leaders" because it makes them feel smarter. Feel is the operative word because they clearly ain't gettin' no smarter. 😄

If Democrats can vote for a sexual predator like Andrew Cuomo, maybe they aren't much smarter than Republicans.

Repubs in red states are trying to further gerrymander their maps to create more red districts. For anyone on right who purports to believe in democracy, it must be apparent, conservatism doesn't support democracy. If you still vote Repub be honest & acknowledge your desire for dictatorship.

If you understand that conservatism does not support democratic principles, the reason for the downhill slide of this country since Reagan becomes apparent.

Wow! If democracy survives the Republican criminal debacle, this will be good news.

I appreciate the ACA and thank our Democratic legislators and John McCain. Now it's time to take the next step. Get rid of the fucking corporate-profiteering ACA and provide MEDICARE FOR ALL! Lose the middleman and eliminate the cost of corporate profits!!!!
