@slous.bsky.social oh, you post about business--so few liberals do, that gets a follow. I need more business focus in my feed. And reminder to me that I need to get back to doing that.

Layoffs since April: Amazon: 30k Intel: 25k UPS: 20k Microsoft: 15k Meta: 3600 Target: 1800 Charter: 1200 Paramount: 1000 Rivian: 600 xAI: 500 Add Verizon to the list. They just laid off 15,000 and then their stock went up. Your reminder that the stock market isn’t the economy

Re: NYT, Thomas & Epstein Remember AGSulzberger’s @nytimes.com has rejected calls to bring back an independent #PublicEditor (like @sulliview.bsky.social) AG needs to bring back a Public Editor. Insightful🧵on failures at NYT that need answers 1/2 h/t: @datadrivenmd.social bsky.app/profile/data...

Best thread I've seen about Schumer's role/non-role. Others make a similar end point, but in a combative annoying way. At the end of the day, you realize not only that Chuck is one senator, but that the other Dems can take far more initiative such as objecting to unan consent. And they don't.

New post by State Representative Aime Wichtendahl: Here’s one thing that is obvious to everyone but the consultant class: Voters don’t want focus-tested candidates with poll-tested messages. www.bleedingheartland.com/2025/11/12/d...

Girls and women should not have to navigate a minefield of predators in order to live life.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

Have followed Julie K. Brown @jkbjournalist.bsky.social since I heard her years ago give an in-depth interview on Epstein. And I do think there's a reason this story surfaced through a woman's tenacity vs. male journo willingness to let it go or worse, to try to profit from the Epstein connection.

I ❤️ NY:

Oh how interesting.

Can't say this guy doesn't walk the talk. Also, please AVOID STARBUCKS until agreement is reached! Their workers go so hard, they need to be treated as humans.

I can't remember the precise wording but someone on here said that the Republican threat to expose Bill Clinton too isn't so much a threat as it is a "buy one, get one free" promotion.

While PE dorks count their pennies, real regular old folks who need care suffer, and have no control of the situation.

Epstein is dead, but what he knew is very much alive.

this isn't JUST jeffries - if dems ain't doing shit now, they won't do shit later either - that's most of the caucus. also: gotta recognize that congressional solidarity is often done with the understanding that a bunch of senate dems will usually "break ranks" to help republicans.

As we consider a Schumer replacement to call for, this link shows AIPAC and similar funding. Not all organizations are as extreme as AIPAC. Also this site isn't showing the funding relative to overall funding. Nonetheless good info. www.trackaipac.com/congress

Please share.... Rest in Power today, Virginia Giuffre

Here's the MAGAts that will benefit from the provision being slipped in to the CR the night before it was to be signed👇

As a complete aside, if you scroll down looks like Trxmp knows barely anything now. Not a healthy human there.

@support.bsky.team Sarah Kendzior being suspended is unacceptable. Please reinstate ASAP with an apology. You do your credibility no favors with this crap. Sarah is a valued, knowledgeable writer.

Hey @bsky.app, why was Sarah Kendzior suspended?

Nope. Congressional Dems NEED TO STOP CAPITULATING. LIFELONG DEM- I AM SICK OF OUR OWN PARTY'S TRAITORS.

This point absolutely correct and I will add that Mamdani demonstrates that an insurgency, even one with real moral clarity and anger at the status quo, can still be cheerful and inviting.

New in PN: Cue the rebellion "The unfortunate conclusion to the shutdown is going to fuel a rebellion within the Democratic Party, one that has already begun but will only get stronger. And despite all the justified disgust now being expressed at Dems, in the long run it will be good for the party"

"an endless fountain of rage..." fantastic post. Anger is not to be feared when deployed to make change to help all of us. Anger has been a large driver in my life, not always easy but always energizing. My tiny contribution in political work comes from anger and it keeps me going.

Have I mentioned Follow the Money lately? No, not in the past 12 hours.

Good Point. AND, yes, it's another example of the "Schumer Leadership Team" being a failure. UNLESS, Schumer's Plan was to provide the votes to Republicans.

Agree with this. ⬇️. That said, replacing Chuck with a ham sandwich 🥪 would get us to the same place we've gotten under his "leadership", so I propose the ham sandwich until election day 2026.

attn Schumer and quisling gang of 8. Mike Johnson is already refusing to honor Senate agreement You let group of hassan, durbin, king, kaine, rosen, masto, shaheen, fetterman BETRAY US without debate. see where that got us? no snap, no affordable healthcare, food, or housing. NO EPSTEIN FILES

"[Schumer] voted against the deal, but who are we kidding ... Either he was tacitly okay with it or he was too weak to stop 17% of his caucus from cutting a deal with Republican leadership and the Trump White House. If I had to place a bet, it would be on the former." — @danpfeiffer.bsky.social

#AOC: “What makes the leadership of this moment so crucial, is about trust and cooperation — we will need to work together and as a team in order to usher our country through this very dark time.” AOC laying the groundwork for her Senate run — time to put #Schumer out to pasture

Nothing short of astonishing side by side front pages. #NYC

@nicokow.bsky.social Just popped over to some of the Dem defender accounts to see what they are saying about this. Answer: nothing. One person says you can be mad at 8 Dem senators without damning all of them. Mainly they post and repost how we are slamming our own and not the GOP. Hmmmm.

This….is why it’s a BIG fucking deal.

Let the difference between the parties be in the response of the Democrats who didn't want this deal.

Holy taxpaying fraudulent fuck--THIS is in the Democrat Senate bill?? Folks, DOJ will settle, and awards will include costs and attorneys' fees. Yes, taxes will pay all of this to individual GOP senators, who would never pay their own legal fees, so this will be a given before they bring suit.

Great news.

Not all Democrats are like Spanberger, Booker, and #BlueMAGA to be fair, but bloody hell these visuals resonate.

See my adjacent post. Directly asked about Schumer, the very scourge he whines about, he is silent. Sure, understandable he won't want to piss off Schumer, but then stop bloviating on TV. / 2 of 2

Posting this first, showing Sanders, once again, all hat no cattle. / 1 of 2

Whenever the 8 collaborators of the Senate attend a public event they should not be met with boos or (God forbid!) applause. Instead they should be met with total silence. Boos and peers are swatted away with half-assed references to the 1st amendment. But silence? A politician's worst nightmare.

Totally agree. I had been a Daboll fan until he clearly didn't set Jones up for success and was reckless with a potentially excellent QB's brain health. That plus repeatedly weird decisions on 4th and short.

We interrupt the nonstop discussion of the colossal cave on the shutdown to bring you Joyce Carol Oates torching the unhappy plaster colored butt of Melon Husk over on the other place. Saw her name trending and was concerned she might have passed away. Nope, quite the opposite!

CALL CONGRESS BEFORE YOU GET GOING ON YOUR DAY. TELL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE AND 2 SENATORS TO **NEVER** VOTE FOR A BILL THAT LEAVES MILLIONS WITHOUT HEALTHCARE DEM, GOP, DOESN'T MATTER: ***CALL*** >>>202-224-3121<<< 3 CALLS - FLOOD THE SWITCHBOARD DO IT NOW

What I can't stop asking is why, after turnout and wins last week, they could possibly believe this helps their party, much less the country.

Follow the money. Not the money keeping our people employed, fed, or healthy enough to work, but the money our Democrats accept annually in exchange for their votes. This is not at all new, but its current scale is appalling.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

Nice sneaky Sunday midnight pardon. That means Trump's lifespan is nearing its end and he's cramming as much corruption as possible before it does.
