This….is why it’s a BIG fucking deal.

Agree completely. Dem voters and states are showing up and showing us how to fight back. Dem senators are showing us how they’ll fold. “Surrender Caucus” is absolutely right. Shameful betrayal.

BREAKING: We go now live to the U.S. Senate where Democrats have decided to believe Republicans will honor their promise to vote for an #ACA extension in December.

This isn’t very hard, folks.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons. State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

Unimaginable in my country, until it became, not only imaginable, but tragically commonplace. Daily, I feel hatred unlike anything that I thought possible. I know I’m not alone and the extraordinary self-control that neighbors and activists in the besieged cities show is extraordinary. & strategic.

History has taught us that this is precisely when Donald Trump is most dangerous — and when Republicans turn to voter suppression, election subversion and worse. With the 2026 midterm elections less than a year away, Trump is already plotting his next moves. Here’s what we all need to prepare for.

Yes, I do remember. And that President read - for pleasure- too and enjoyed talking with authors, educators and thinkers (overlapping categories) and they with him. We’ve gone from the sublime to the (criminally) ridiculous.

Definitely read the essay.

A trillion dollars is one thousand billion dollars; a billion dollars is one thousand million dollars. Minimum wage has stayed seven dollars & twenty-five cents since 2009. All of this is a choice made repeatedly. Our self destruction is deliberate and it is well funded.

A reminder that in 2018 Elon Musk, when he was a mere babe in the billionaire woods, paid $0 federal income tax. Obviously that'll change as he goes from obscenely rich to unfathomably wealthy, right?

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. Read the story that he wanted dropped:

NEWS: A federal judge in Rhode Island has released her written order demanding the Trump admin use emergency funds to pay SNAP food benefits. The court gave the gov until Nov 4 to ensure payments are made and says if the contingency fund runs out, they must continue to fund SNAP via other means.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."
