"We always think about America’s postwar role in Europe as an act of great generosity, the defense of allies from Soviet aggression. But by putting democracy at the center of our international identity, we also helped strengthen our own political system" www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

There’s been an active cover-up since the mid-2000s to conceal the Epstein Files. The damning info from the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility’s investigation & report into allegations of professional misconduct by the federal prosecutors, including Alex Acosta. youtu.be/7et6kS7r-T4?...

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

They showed his neck vagina. That’s what he’s really upset about.

Senate is back in session today. 1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown. You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

Respect to those who got here first.

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

Be there. Saturday, October 18th. www.nokings.org

Vaccines are safe and effective. Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support. When you want information, ask your doctor. It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Big roar for AG Letitia James at the ZOHRAN rally👇🏽

George Stephanopolous did what every anchor and host should have been doing since Bush 2000: Rejecting the bullshit, gaslighting, and rude, evasive filibustering the GOP has perfected to hide their lies. NO MORE BULLSHIT.

Two years after Hamas’s brutal attack, Gaza’s guns are silent—and the last hostages are home. Trump is taking a victory lap for “everlasting peace,” but Gaza’s still in ruins, and both sides are holding their breath. This isn’t peace. It’s a pause. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

But we cant have healthcare. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Swift announced both projects on “Good Morning America” Monday morning, more than a week after she released her record-breaking “The Life of a Showgirl” album.

You gotta give ‘em hop.

Did Marjorie Taylor Greene fall down and smack her head on the pavement and finally get some sense knocked into her? Seriously, what is going on with her? Feels like she’s going to run for President.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode. We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do. …getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired. …betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator. The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

I like Stephen King’s short story “The Jaunt” a lot, but I think it ought to be classed as a novella really. It’s longer than you think.

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in. The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight. They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

Morning.

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning. There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants. Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

Marjorie Taylor Greene DOES NOT get a pass for jumping off a sinking ship and trying to rehab herself in order to stay in Congress. A pig with lipstick on is still a pig.

Portland continues to amaze me 👏

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Chicago not letting Portland have all the fun 🐧

federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?

Children deserve to feel safe at home & in school. This new bill I signed: ➡️ Bars childcare facilities & state preschools from collecting immigration info ➡️ Protects parents’ legal rights & kids’ security if separated ➡️ Ensures schools have safety plans in times of crisis

IM CRYING

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

JORDAN: Comey is where weaponization all started. 9 years ago he took the dossier-- BASH: But that's not what he's being prosecuted for JORDAN: I'm just saying, you want to talk about weaponization, that's where it started BASH: So this is retribution then

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States. Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

This is dedicated to those who believed DJT and legacy media coverage that Project 2025 was nothing to be concerned about. Also, this isn’t legal.

Nothing says “Nobel Peace Prize” like deploying the military against your own citizens.

A library director in Wyoming who was fired two years ago because she refused to remove books with sexual content and LGBTQ themes from a library's children and young adult sections has just been awarded $700,000 in a settlement. t.co/EA5L1kOZfV

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education. America’s children deserve better than this.

Children that were kidnapped by invading Russian barbarians, not displaced.
