A mass shooting at my alma mater Brown University hit hard, proving no community is safe from senseless violence in a land with more guns than people Trump added insult to injury by claiming there is "nothing you can do." We can do a lot about guns My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/brow...

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

After a backroom meeting with Donald Trump and a donation to the Trump ballroom, NVIDIA got a deal to sell the most advanced AI chip it has ever sold to China. The NVIDIA CEO should testify under oath in Congress.

Sure, the rule would have prevented 4,500 premature deaths, but that second yacht isn't gonna pay for itself! #Priorities www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Sen. Mark Kelly: “I’ve had a missile blow up next to my airplane. I’ve been nearly shot down multiple times. I’ve flown a rocket ship into space four times, built by the lowest bidder. I’m not going to be silenced by Donald Trump.”

I stand with Mark Kelly 💙❤️🇺🇸

Mr. Secretary, you seem confused. Mark Kelly was defending the Constitution. That’s leadership and you should try it. This is an insurrection…

That sound you heard was every GOP elected official with a lick of sense absolutely SHITTING themselves thinking about the visual of Mark Kelly back in uniform before a military court as Whiskey Pete's handpicked chucklefucks try to railroad him on bogus charges.

“Hegseth and Trump have gone after the wrong guy with Mark Kelly--Arizona Senator, decorated Navy veteran, astronaut-- and they are only further demonstrating their hostility to our Constitution and their weak leadership.“ www.americaamerica.news/p/trump-and-...

The "Department of Government Efficiency" has disbanded eight months early. DOGE sowed chaos throughout the government and disrupted services relied upon by millions, while finding hardly any savings. Here's what you should know about damage that DOGE leaves behind.

Nazi Musk’s corrupt pet project DOGE has officially disbanded after 8 months of destroying the US govt and illegally gaining access to the private data of tens of millions of Americans just for the purpose of instilling fear. Everyone involved should go to jail.

With all the money we save boycotting everything, it sure feels good to walk into an independently owned business and drop a large chunk of change. I bought a book and 2 albums from a local record/book store and they thanked me like 10 times. Man, it really means a lot to them. Fuck corporate stores

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

Exit, pursued by a brick.

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott. From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

As the first pulmonologist in Congress, take it from me: early detection saves lives. This Lung Cancer Awareness Month, I'm encouraging those with risk factors to talk with their trusted physician about getting screened. I'll keep fighting for the affordable, accessible care you deserve.

“We’re dancing through life, Bert”

Jamal Khashoggi was a WaPo columnist when he was murdered inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul at the direction of the Saudi government. The entire world condemned it, except Trump. This wasn’t “things happen.” It was a state-sanctioned assassination for exercising free speech.

Trump calls yet another woman bump "piggy," this time a Bloomberg Journalist, and embraces the Saudi dictator who ordered the murder of a Washington Post journalist. Have we no moral standards any longer in America? At long last, have we no shame?

Every outlet worth a damn should be calling this out. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

QUIET PIGGY

It should New lawn signs for the cult

Republicans now trying to sell pedophilia as okay. There is no bottom in the pit of the far-right.

But what alarms me in all this is how the girls who were victimized by these men are largely forgotten. I want us to find ways of centering them in the discourse.

I have been frustrated with the word choice of sex with underage girls. It is child rape and these girls and now women need to be supported after what they have been through.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sending emails to her staff saying "please print" or Donald Trump sending letters to Jeffrey Epstein alluding to child rape, both candidates sent some questionable messages to people that they knew.

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

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.

The Senate needs to hold the line for a government funding deal that protects healthcare and lowers costs. Not one that sells out the American people.

I wrote this before I learned Trump is pressuring the states not to cover the SNAP lapse. Monstrous people. Murderers. open.substack.com/pub/gregolea...

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

“.. The Agriculture Department issued the command in a late-night Saturday memo .. That guidance threatened to impose financial penalties on states that did not “comply” quickly with the government’s new orders.” @tonyromm.bsky.social #SNAP www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

74% of Americans say that the government should continue to pay SNAP benefits during the shutdown, including 58% of Republicans and 54% of Trump voters. It's amazing how this administration's sadism is overwhelming its survival instincts.

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential. www.reuters.com/world/us/usd...

Republicans are killing children to cover up the fact that they raped and trafficked other children.

The rule of law has been upheld, not the whims of a wannabe king. Today a federal judge issued a permanent injunction against the National Guard being deployed in Portland. This affirms what we’ve always known: Portland is home. Not a military target.

25 years ago today: the most consequential presidential election of my lifetime. 36 days later, it was effectively decided by the Supreme Court. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who voted with the majority, would later she regretted that the court accepted the case.

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"

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

Look I get publishing a broad spectrum of opinions but I already fed them this morning

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

This is a metaphor for our country. "This has nothing to do with me."

I agree: Sean Dunn is not guilty. This has been a “moments in living out the responsibilities you’ve assumed by selecting your username like seven years ago”
