In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal β€” and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

The Democrats fail recognize that the Republicans do not care about rules or procedure. The rule-based way of government is no longer applicable. Republicans want to end democracy.

NEW from @votersoftomorrow.org:

β€œEither through complicity or incompetence, Chuck Schumer once again proved he cannot provide the type of leadership that young Americans demand. It is clear he must step down as caucus leader.”

I don’t care if Schumer voted no. If he’s unable to wrangle the caucus, he’s not an effective leader. I’ll continue to push for the caucus to elect a new one.

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.

I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this β€œdeal.”

Healthcare is a basic human right.

Food is basic human right.

Education, housing, clean air & water are human rights.

Using healthcare and food as leverage should be grounds for removal from office.

SNAP, Medicaid and the ACA are worth fighting for.

People will die without them.

Doing what congressional republicans refuse to do...

A man in Pittsburgh has gone viral after working to fight food insecurity amid SNAP benefit cuts by setting up a food pantry in his own front yard.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.

Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

Tomorrow is a big day. The resistance has been nothing short of historic volunteers across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, New York, and California have shown up in record numbers. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You’re making history and remember, tomorrow there will be more of us.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

GOP: The only solution to our debt crisis is cutting $113B in food benefits. Also here’s $4T more in tax cuts for billionaires

When SNAP benefits run out, 'people can die,' say health experts β€œPeople can die” from even short gaps in nutrition and food access, experts say ahead of SNAP benefits not going out in November in at least 25 states.

The government shutdown is about to hit home in homes with the least capacity to weather shortfalls. Millions who rely on #SNAP to feed their families are caught in the crosshairs. β€œWe need to remember that #SNAP is the safety net. Below the safety net is concrete.” www.statnews.com/2025/10/27/s...

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post Defends Trump’s β€˜Aggressive’ Demolition of White House East Wing; Amazon Is Among Donors to $300 Million Ballroom The editorial board of the Washington Post, owned by Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, expressed approval of President Donald Trump's 'aggressive' move to tear down the White House's East Wing in order t...

The Washington Post is dead.

Aside from the insane position that ignores the White House is not a Trump hotel, and belongs to the American people, the Washington Post fails to disclose that its corporate owner is partly paying for the Eastwing destruction.

Unforgivable.

They don’t GAF about the Constitution, and they’ll do whatever it takes to keep Trump breathing long enough to seize a third term.

So when you start thinking your vote doesn’t matter, remember this: they know it does. That’s why they’re trying to take it from you.

This isn’t going to end well.
