Once a Crook, Always a Crook......😱

It’s been 15 years since Congress raised the minimum wage.

In that time, costs for rent, groceries, and utilities have soared.

Americans deserve a raise.

Every single person on the Epstein list deserves a life long prison sentence without any chance for parole. I don't care what the predator's political party, political position, or religion is.

Release the list, prosecute each one of them, & send them to prison for the rest of their lives.

Catholic Bishops condemn this administration's violence and cruelty

Everyone should make their statements to Congress!

Large volumes of complaints get attention.

Some Congressmen will support voters rather than 47.

The sexual abuse of minors is not a partisan issue.

#ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles is about right vs wrong, good vs evil, and it’s long past time to acknowledge and protect the survivors.

All members of Congress must be on the side of justice.

Voters are watching.
2026 is coming.

Trump Boat Bombings Darken as Secret Memo Reveals Holes in Legal Case A new White House memo argues that those carrying out the boat attacks can’t be prosecuted. Why? Because the White House says so!

Awful: Trump's boat bombings are now being justified by a new legal memo that relies on WH's own determinations as evidence. Memo also says people can't be prosecuted for the killings. But that reveals WH knows there's legal vulnerability here, Ds tell me.

But what about HIS EMAILS? You gotta LOVE the irony!

How about instead of selling "bearista" cups, Starbucks bargains a fair contract with its unionized baristas? No contract. No coffee. Don't cross the picket line. Solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org ✊

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent.
She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..."

Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night:

A tweet from Michael Freeman (@michaelpfreeman) reads: “But cancer research was deemed a waste of money.” It quotes FactPost (@factpostnews), which says: “Trump’s order to change the Department of Defense’s name to the ‘Department of War’ could cost an estimated $2B in taxpayer dollars.” Below are two images: one shows a man affixing a sign that reads “Pete Hegseth — Secretary of War,” and the other shows Trump smiling.

Everything is a very expensive exercise in vanity.

🤬🤬

*taps mic*

If Dems are in “the files,” then they should be prosecuted too. I don’t give a damn how important they are, how much money they have, or what their politics are. If they are in there, PROSECUTE THEM!!

It's not complicated. All we want is equal justice. NO ONE is above the law. ⚖️

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 — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

More foreign bailouts — but zero relief for Americans facing rising health care costs.

How Congress Can Rein in Surging Political Corruption Federal lawmakers can protect the American public by passing a new law to fully implement the Constitution’s oldest anticorruption safeguards.

No single reform can eliminate corruption or fully repair the public’s faith in government. But codifying the Constitution’s Emoluments Clauses would be a powerful start. bit.ly/43MmpHM

Raskin Sounds Alarm Over 'Million-Dollar Jackpot Provision' Snuck Into Senate Shutdown Bill | Common Dreams House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin slams Senate provision allowing GOP senators to sue FBI for $1 million each.

Raskin Sounds Alarm Over ‘Million-Dollar Jackpot Provision’ Snuck Into Senate Shutdown Bill

“One of the most blatantly corrupt provisions for political self-dealing and the plunder of public resources ever proposed.”

Republicans dropped a last-minute provision into the funding bill that would funnel millions of taxpayer dollars to eight Republican senators.
People can't afford their food or health care and yet, Republicans are only concerned with enriching themselves.

If they win, Democrats will have to use their newfound authority to rethink, even dismantle, agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. They may need to walk back the Bush-era decision to consolidate those agencies and others under a single department, given the wild abuses perpetrated under this administration and its predecessors. It will need to give serious thought to major political and social reform, including D.C. statehood, a federal ban on partisan gerrymandering, a new voting rights act and federal protections for reproductive rights and bodily autonomy, including the rights of gender and sexual minorities. Democrats will also need to embrace the legislature’s constitutional authority to structure the executive branch and the judiciary, up to and including Supreme Court reform. If they win next year, Democrats will need to treat the next Congress not as a return to the status quo ante but as the beginning of a new era in which the principal task is to roll back the president’s effort to create and consolidate a personalist dictatorship. They’ll need to fortify the American political system against future attempts to play dictator and lay out a project of genuine democratic renewal. None of this is possible without a willingness to use power rather than just hold it. What we’ve seen this week is that there are still too many Democrats whose instinct is to retreat to normalcy rather than face the conflict at hand.

You know us. For years, you watched and listened to our coverage of the Chicago area. As journalists, we did our best to bring you accurate, objective information about the people, events and issues that mattered. We hope we gained your trust. So please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong. The fact that some federal immigration forces may be leaving soon is cold comfort given the damage they’ve done and what they may do in other cities. We are retired, but our colleagues who are still on the job have shown you a brutal and illegal campaign against fellow Chicagoans, mainly Latinos: violent abductions, gutting families, using tear gas around children, roughing up witnesses, ramming cars and even taking a day care teacher from her school.

"You know us...So please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong."
