A damn daycare. This is sick. What are we doing?

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC.

Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA.

Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ.

Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

Mr. "I Don't Take Responsibility At All" thinks the MASSIVE BLUE WAVE was because he wasn't on the ballot, not
a Major Referendum on his 2nd Term.

Turns out folks prefer feeding the hungry over building expen$ive, tacky Ballrooms.

Looking forward to the midterms... 🌊

#AccountabilityIsComing

Amarillo is one of the reddest towns in Texas.

But I showed up because our campaign is not writing off any community.

It was standing room only.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

This is what a New Era looks like.

Today I'm writing a lecture for next week on the Apple TV show Murderbot, pronouns, and asexuality.
We'll be looking at how asexuality is portrayed in the media.

The majority of Americans are good. We have heart. We have compassion. When we see others struggle, we want to lend a hand.

For too long, we’ve been divided and pitted against each other by those who crave obscene wealth and power.

Let’s change that. One election at a time.

Gorsuch finally starting to understand what they have unleashed

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

Too many Americans were in denial about how bad a second Trump term would be. Which is astonishing because 400K people died of covid on his watch.

Neguse: "Does anyone here not believe that with one phone call from Speaker Johnson -- one phone call to the president or the secretary of ag -- that those funds would be released tomorrow? And that families wouldn't go starving by the weekend?"

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

They must expect a lot of people all over the country to be really upset about something next year. I wonder what that could be?

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

The U.S. is experiencing its highest wave of layoffs since 2020, with close to a million workers losing their jobs this year.

Nuclear testing isn’t something you greenlight in a post, but turning national security into a fear show is how authoritarians rule.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Mockler: I’m 23 years old, and Gen Zers have spent all of our formative years living in a political system that’s purely dysfunctional. People in my generation see the president posting memes online rather than actually negotiating with the other side.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

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."

Cool we can fund SNAP, pay air traffic controllers, ACA subsidies, all kinds of stuff. Right when we really need it. When do we get the cash?

RIPPING US OFF: FBI Director Kash Patel met his girlfriend at Penn State this past weekend to watch a wrestling match—but his travel to the university stadium appears to have been on the American public’s dime...again.

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

One deranged decree, and 30 years of global restraint go up in radioactive smoke.

He doesn’t even know which department controls nuclear testing. (It’s the DOE, not the DOD.) These people are so dangerously ignorant, they could end the world by accident.

When will Republicans say enough?!

uh-oh. turns out the mortgage document that the DOJ is alleging was fraudulent b/c great niece paid some rent (great niece testified she didn't) refers to "short-term rentals," which seems to blow DOJ theory that it could't be rented out of the water. Another disaster of a case.
