Happened to me too and I started canvassing for her. Whatcha doing Saturday? :)

Truth
Trump presser. Did he just share a whole lil anecdote about a big man telling him multiple times “I want to kiss you” and him saying “no thank you I don’t want a kiss from that man”?? Consent for me and not for thee is always the lens, isn’t it.
Watch this, it's astonishing.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

If ever there was a day I could have used a new Have I Got News For You. Is there another platform it’s on, since pre-empted for breaking coverage?
NYC came out tonight! Union Square march was peaceful and energized. We stand up for Minnesota and ourselves.
We are Christopher Isherwood, watching the violent racist authoritarian lawless scenes in the Berlin street below from our apartment window above.
Figures Trump’s tariffs are going to jack up the price of hygge.
As you watch this analysis, which is VERY clear, remember that Trump, Vance and Noem have been straight-up lying about it from day one—and that Renee Good still had a pulse when ICE refused to allow her medical attention. Call it what it is: state murder. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/v...
No, we don't have the resources right now for a general strike. We don't have the rent and food funds or the bail funds or the child and healthcare funds.
But the response to that isn't "welp, we're fucked, so much for a general strike."
It's to start organizing those things in your community.
Reminds me of when the Michael Keaton Ray Kroc movie came out in 2016 after the first Trump election. I was bleeding rage out of my eyeballs at every frame, all lionizing a dishonorable businessman wrapped in a flag. Couldn’t get out of that theater fast enough.
There is a grave moral consequence to letting this go on. Shut down the government, have a general strike, grind the country to a halt, hit the streets. But not treating a demented administration lying about its thugs committing cold-blooded murder as an emergency? That is an emergency in itself.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

This is really important. Amazon causes the pressure for speed and reaps the benefits. Contracting leaves workers vulnerable; who should pay for your long-term organ damage due to heat exposure in the summer? The small business, or Amazon?
Particulate pollution in the air down a whopping 22% in NYC’s congestion pricing zone.
Not only are the streets less congested, but so are our lungs.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

No one should gloss over how appalling this is. A president who feels this comfortable demeaning women, and so many others, is nothing short of embarrassing and shameful.
This is a pedophilephile administration with a predator at the top.
Or film/tv. Obvs.
Agreed. Also: Your book should be required reading for anyone in theater. Except the kind of “required” that is actually “great storytelling” and “fun.”
Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.
It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.
It corrupts our political system every day.
Trump: The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement, which is FAKE, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs. The ad was for $75,000. They only did this to interfere with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, and other courts. TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A. Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT 1 ReTruth 3 Likes 10/23/25, 7:39 PM
Trump is pissed about an ad that Canada recently ran in the U.S. showing Ronald Reagan talking about tariffs in 1987.
“Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.”
Oh thank God. Proud graduate here.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.
Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”
This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.
