Victoria’s husband has cystic fibrosis. Without health insurance, his medication costs $300,000 per year. Republicans’ failure to extend ACA subsidies means that Victoria and her husband won't be able to afford their insurance. These are the stakes for working people in this fight. We cannot cave.

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Speaker Mike Johnson is a POS. Keeping the government shut down another three weeks, through Thanksgiving, and not swearing in an elected Representative (are we at six weeks now??) , so he won't have to honor a discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

It's so confusing ... ICE agents are acting like criminals, and criminals are posing as ICE agents.

“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.” Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

Air travel during the Trump administration: "Photos from Houston's Bush Intercontinental airport show TSA lines at Terminal E extending outside the building and down the sidewalk Sunday night. At 6:15PM, new photos showed the same long lines hours later..." www.click2houston.com/news/local/2...

Well, whattaya know? Pay to Play.

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

So, you know... good luck with your Healthcare and all that.

Without anyone saying a word, everyone involved in this episode knew the risks and the safest path forward. They know, instinctively, how to survive in a declining media organization for one more day — please Trump, Weiss, and Ellison, and everyone’s happy. Piss them off and watch out.

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao? TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him. TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

“60 Minutes paid me a lot of money” In an edited-out part of the Trump interview Trump brags about extorting CBS for millions for… editing out a part of Kamala’s interview. (He also makes it clear new CBS chief Bari Weiss is in his pocket) #RIPCBS

So Trump says he knows nothing about the pardon he issued for a billionaire who just so happened to make his family a fortune in crypto. This clip is going viral for a reason. Don’t underestimate a struggling American public’s slowly building intolerance for this kind of blatant corruption.

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

Weird. It's almost like her current boyfriend, the director of the FBI who flies her around the nation on government jets, might have shared information that would normally be limited to trusted law enforcement circles. But that can't be right, because that would probably be a *crime*

That’s a lot of paid leave in a country that doesn’t favor such a thing. Even worse, taxpayer funded …

🤬💙🤬💙✌️

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

JB Pritzker: “President Trump and his bootlickers have torn down the US Department of Education from the inside. Books are being banned. History is being erased. I’m sorry to be vulgar, but Donald Trump and his cronies can fuck all the way off” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This performer at Trump’s Great Gatsby party should clear up any suspicions about whether or not he’s in the Epstein Files.

NYT from 2024. He told us what he was going to do.

Male veterans are encountering obstacles in getting treatment for breast cancer in the VA system because of Trump's executive order meant to oppress trans people. I say that again: non-trans men are struggling to get treatment for breast cancer due to transphobia. www.propublica.org/article/vete...

What he said: 💯 🎯

SNAP assistance makes Page One in Boston .. .. Chattanooga .. .. Palm Beach .. .. Asbury Park, NJ.

MUSK: “The goal of SpaceX is to establish a self-sustaining city on Mars” Billions and billions in taxpayer dollars to this man’s company — yet we’re told there was no money to extend food assistance to those who need it here on Earth 🌎 🤷🏼

“.. One furloughed Defense Department worker, who visited a Virginia distribution site .. said it was her first time seeking help from a food bank. “I usually donate,” she said. “The roles are reversed.” @politico.com #SNAP www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) actually told the press that Democrats would be the ones hurt most by losing SNAP. To be fair, since he lives in Florida instead of the state he represents, maybe he doesn’t realize 752,000 Alabamians rely on SNAP—14.6% of the state’s population.

My god, WHAT is in those Epstein files that has him so terrified of swearing in Vote Number 218? “I will not bring the House back to session until the Congress negotiates a budget that it needs to pass” is pretty much a pure pi-r-squared circle.

Exactly.

Every day, more details come out that show just how deep this plot to protect the wealthy and powerful goes. They are being shielded from justice. Rep. Thomas Massie and I are fighting to bring them to justice and release the files.

From an Evanston resident filming an arrest at Oakton/Asbury ~an hour ago: "He was being very violent with her, I said ‘You got to stop that,’ and he said, ‘Step back or I’ll fucking shoot you.‘ I step back, and then I continue to record, at which point he turned around and pointed a gun at me.”

Everything the “don’t tread on me” folks claimed to care about is being done by the people they now blindly support

If republicans are able-bodied and getting government assistance, they should be subject to a work requirement, no?

"The Last Republican" is a must-watch! @adamkinzinger.substack.com is a man of honor, integrity, and courage (even if he doesn't think so). Look for it on multiple platforms. I watched it on YT. Thanks, @meidastouch.com , for spreading the word about this.

Trump and his cronies are trying to erase the history of January 6th. We won't let them.

Heroes.

What a disgrace.

They have the House, the Senate, and the White House. But they're not in charge of the government? We are not stupid. They WANT the shutdown.

Illinois’ benefits website warns that the Trump administration is to blame if SNAP benefits go away

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
