Seriously, the president is not running this government. But pure evil is moving antidemocratic actions forward. #resist

Brother Warnock lays it plain.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Senator Murphy on Bluesky: “Good morning. Last night was a referendum on Trump's corruption, cruelty, and chaos. But it's also not a coincidence these big wins came at the exact moment when Democrats are using our power to stand for something and be strong. A huge risk to not learn that lesson.”

Senator Murphy is correct: It’s clear that the American people want Democrats to keep fighting for them.

Thank your Democratic senator(s) for fighting hard to keep healthcare costs down and urge them to keep holding the line to protect healthcare for millions: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

Same cowards as before. All need to be challenged in primaries.

This!!! 👇 Get out and #vote, get your friends and family to #voteblue and let's move forward! #MikieSherrill #NJ #NJGovernor

After gleefully and illegally plowing over every statute and regulation they don't like—such as by destroying USAID, refusing to enforce CFPB regs, and withholding SNAP funding—the Trump admin has decided 88 FR 8255 is ironclad law that must be ruthlessly enforced to ensure more people go hungry.

Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..

Jack won't do jack for regular people. Increasing minimum wage is resisted by the billionaire class because it eats into their profits. He was opposed before and will be again. Vote #Mikie for the people! #voteblue

SNAP cuts will impact more than 800,000 people in #NJ. Find your local food bank and donate. #giveback

The FBI director is flying his girlfriend around on private government planes while FBI agents go without paychecks and families prepare to go hungry as SNAP benefits are being suspended

Thank the #GOP. High tax Jack will make it even worse in #NJ. #voteblue

Mike Johnson is lying. Karoline Leavitt is lying. The Trump administration is lying. The money is there to pay for SNAP. They simply don’t want to.

Now if Argentina needs another 20B? That’s another question. Priorities, amirite?

Scammy text appeal seeking donations for the "No Kings Act" which will be "500% MATCHED"

PSA: The No Kings PAC is not affiliated with and had no role in putting on the 10/18 mobilization. If you get a spammy text from them claiming your donation will be 5x matched, know that it's not from anyone involved in the No Kings protest (and please direct your angry emails to them, not us)

Trump's "cuts" to government have not worked, b/c he spends the $$ on his family & friends & self.
August to October was the fastest accumulation of a trillion dollars of debt outside of the Covid-19 pandemic, with the U.S. hitting $37 trillion in August and $38 trillion just two months later.

Trump’s Cognitive Collapse Is Clear: Psychologist The 79-year-old president’s nonsensical speeches and mental lapses are flashing signs of his “immense cognitive decline,” according to Dr. John Gartner.

Donald Trump is exhibiting a “massive increase” in “clinical signs of dementia,” exacerbating the president’s “malignant narcissism,” a psychologist has warned.

to keep functioning a society must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

One thing that's become clear is that you can be a friend to big tech or a friend to democracy but not both.

Ohio National Guard member Sgt. Devon Beck was not amused by this satire. On September 11, 2025, Mr. O’Hara saw Sgt. Beck, along with several other Guard members, walking in uniform in the Logan Circle neighborhood, near the intersection of 14th and R Streets NW. Mr. O’Hara calmly walked behind the Guard members, began playing The Imperial March aloud on his phone, and started recording. In less than two minutes, Sgt. Beck turned around and threatened to call D.C. police officers to “handle” Mr. O’Hara if he persisted. Mr. O’Hara continued recording and playing the music. Sgt. Beck contacted the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). Defendant MPD Officers Brown, Campbell, Reyes-Benigno, and Lopez Martinez came to the scene and, in essence, did what Sgt. Beck had threatened, putting Mr. O’Hara in handcuffs and preventing him from continuing his peaceful protest.

The DC ACLU is suing on behalf of a man who was arrested by a National Guardsman and MPD officers for playing the Imperial March (from Star Wars) as an act of protest. www.acludc.org/app/uploads/...

Major redistricting news: Virginia Dems could target 2-3 GOP House seats (though they could flip 2 anyway on the current map).

Dems have far fewer opportunities to redraw maps for 2026 as Republicans try to re-gerrymander nationwide, so a new Virginia map in 2026 instead of 2028 would be a big deal

The President is not a king.
The law is not a suggestion.
The Constitution is not optional.
