The operating system for most politicians consists of just one question. If I vote for X, who will be upset, people WITH resources, or those without? The Dems just proved it.

Apparently we need to remind the political class: You can’t beat Trump by surrendering to him. You can’t fight authoritarianism by giving the autocrats everything they want. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

TurningPoint USA is still growing. They’re using their billionaire donors’ money to set up chapters in schools across the country. We can’t let them win. If you’re a young person who is ready to fight back, and organize for democracy, join @votersoftomorrow.org. 👇 votersoftomorrow.org/students

Every right we take for granted was born from struggle—fought for by the poor, the disabled, the unheard. Progress has never trickled down; it’s risen from the ground up. Those society tried to silence are the ones who taught it compassion, dignity, and what real strength looks like. #Pinks #Momsky

The fight for healthcare right now can’t end with ACA subsidies. It HAS TO BE bigger. Too many Americans are suffering over medical debt and spiraling costs. It should be nothing short of Medicare for All.

No end to the stupidity. Many will go w/o insurance as rent continues climbing due to private equity buying up housing supply. Also, being overworked into ill health will pressure ERs, as hospitals continue closing, w/private equity again in the picture. This ain’t no solution.

Oh, this definitely calls for a hearty FUCK YOU, Trump!

A more disgusting blowhard I have never seen.

Trump is STILL trying to deny SNAP benefits, even though several military families rely on these benefits and it’s reported that one million+ veterans use the program. Trump and Republicans don’t value or respect our soldiers and they certainly don’t value working class Americans. VOTE THEM OUT!

Barack Obama just surprised an entire aircraft full of veterans on Veterans Day.

🚨 NEW: ADP report: U.S. LOST an average of 11,000 jobs per week in October 2025. Let’s compare, shall we: In 2024, the economy ADDED about 2.2 million jobs in 2024 — an average monthly GAIN of 186,000. From steady climb to sudden slide.

“Our oaths did not expire simply because we took off the uniform.” Former Navy pilot Ken Harbaugh shares a powerful Veterans Day message about service, sacrifice, and what real patriotism means — inspired by Marine Master Sgt. Mike “Top” Washington.

The Oxford English Dictionary's perfect description of the current occupant of the White House and Ballroom.

Remember them today.

And, dissent is the second true measure of patriotism.

It’s Now or Never.

Well now, not at all predictable, is it?

Multisyllabic, yet still stupid…

💯. It wasn't about just the ACA subsides—it was about those and … everything else.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social. (Published January)

The time is coming. When we stop worshipping the people who are destroying the world. The time is coming.

It should be a basic minimum requirement of political leadership that you be an effective and persuasive communicator in the current era, able to tour the country to support your candidates and policies in public forums with real people. If you can’t do that, you aren’t a leader.

I wanted to express my gratitude to the brave people who are video taping the crimes that ICE commits every day on American streets.

this is literally never not accurate

Today the Supreme Court granted review in an important case for the outcome of the 2026 elections. At stake is the fate of tens or even hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots.

In case it's not obvious, none of this is true. He's either innumerate, or lying.

You know what, Steve Bannon, you arrogant fool, breaking the administrative state means breaking the nation. You can goose step straight to hell.

We must not let this important history vanish. Please share.

omg

And, the MEANEST.

Trump’s ludicrous notion of a &2k tariff rebate would be the final nail in the in the coffin of the common good, & would be a full-throated government endorsement of selfishness. He didn’t read The Great Gatsby, but he’s living it.

I suppose there’s value in avoiding a game of chicken with someone who WANTS to crash, but surely the Dems could have gotten a bit more.

Cruelty is the point of taking away healthcare and SNAP benefits & the 8 Dems who voted with the Republicans are a stain on what the rest of us believe.

So, because there was no actual caravan of migrants moving toward America by land, Trump is claiming a seaborne invasion & blowing up fishermen at sea. He’s a murderer.

Still stupid after all these years…

Every time you capitulate to a bully, they'll come back at you twice as brutally. If you didn't learn this life lesson in third grade, GTFO of the US Senate.

Today I wrote about the Trump’s latest effort to pardon his election denier henchmen. While we may be focused on the shutdown, Trump continues to subvert democracy and target free and fair elections. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to expose just this. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely. *If all goes by the regular schedule

Conservatives often mistake stubbornness for principle, certainty for truth, and substitute emotion for reason. Wrong & strong ain’t working.

First, Trump pardoned the "boots" of the insurrection, and now he's pardoned the "suits" of the insurrection substack.com/@glennkirsch...

Dollars to donuts that the promised vote on ACA subsidies is scheduled for Christmas Day, if not the Twelfth of Never.

If my Grandma had not been denied insurance, she might have lived longer in dignity. Bless this judge.
