NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

DAILY DEMS DOING THE WORK, MAKING NOISE, AND FIGHTING BACK Day 291

I always try to find stories that have something in common, and I always fail, but today I did it, I have a throughline. Four stories from four Dems you do not associate with these stories. I’m actually really proud of this.

In New Jersey, a single mother struggled to figure out how to feed her two young sons with $50. In Oklahoma, a 61-year-old woman questioned whether driving to a food pantry was worth the gas money. And in Colorado, a woman grabbed food from a Walmart dumpster.

Richest nation in human history

I'm already frustrated at how much the next Democratic president will be blamed for the problems being caused by the Trump administration's destruction of the federal government.

Politicians can get away with lying to people for quite a while about a lot of different subjects, but they have never been able to get away with lying to them about how much things cost.

Ok. Who did this? 🤭😅🤣

When is enough enough?

The agency also wants to do more surveys on taxpayer preferences. It ran a survey in August and received over 50,000 responses, although those results “are not statistically representative” and therefore aren’t included in the report, the IRS said.

The IRS surveyed people about Direct File, and the results must have been absolutely *glowing* because they're now refusing to release the results. www.nextgov.com/digital-gove...

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

If the sub didn’t split, you must acquit!

MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell with white text over his shoulder: "Tariffs are taxes."

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com: Trump is living in fear tonight of just how bad election night will be for him next year youtu.be/gIMKOZVLTrk?...

anyway former car dealer Moreno whose car I have seen and costs more than I will make this year is preventing my family members who are his constituents from getting health insurance next year

You may not agree, but I think it’s time for Dems from coast to coast to run on Medicare for all.

We do NOT need health insurance companies at all.

Period.

They serve no valuable societal purpose other than to add cost to healthcare and drive people crazy.

#PMQs “Deputy Prime Minister #DavidLammy is filling in for #KeirStarmer as he travels to Belem in #Brazil for the #COP30 climate summit”

You know

That event when the elite, their teams and press travel the globe to tell us all not to fly so much blah blah blah

"Let me be clear: The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.”

Gov. Andy Beshear

Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.

Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.

Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

Some thoughts:

Healthcare should be universal and untethered from employment.

Insurance companies shouldn't exist.

The tax return industry shouldn't exist. Returns should be an automated process.

Voter registration and mailed ballots to all should be automatic in all 50 states for all

Once more, for old times’ sake

Wow, huge credit to Katie and the rest of the nutrition team at @centeronbudget.bsky.social. USDA has now issued revised numbers because CBPP caught them either accidentally or intentionally making huge errors that would severely underfund SNAP, in direct violation of court orders.

AWESOME! MORE OF THIS, PLEASE👇
