AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

"A vile creature. The worst thing on the face of the earth."

Former Speaker of the House Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) didn't mince her words when asked about the president in an interview with CNN. Watch—

Proving everyday, to everyone, everywhere how truly incompetent he is. Not everyone is willing to be bribe.

Agree with her. Too bad so many Americans didn't take her seriously before November 2024. FAFO

A reminder that Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva was elected to Congress 43 days ago yet creepy MAGA terrorist Mike Johnson has refused to swear her in seeing as she’s the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

Fascist republicans are death to democracy.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Stelter: I also think the rise of MeidasTouch this year, which has been noticed by many Democratic politicians—figures like Gavin Newsom—it also speaks to the energy in the country.

Gut wrenching but no lies detected. Stay tuned. 😎

Family of Virginia Giuffre re: Ghislaine Maxwell prison transfer

"It's w/ horror & outrage that we object to the preferential treatment convicted sex trafficker G. Maxwell has received.. Maxwell is a sexual predator who physically assaulted minor children.. she should never be shown any leniency"

None of the Epstein/Maxwell survivors were notified of Maxwell’s transfer to the minimum security facility.

NY Times and Democracy Docket cover the same hearing. Notice the difference in framing.

The GOP always look to place blame for their failures, while simultaneously ignoring their failure. I’ve lost all confidence, credibility, cogency… I pretty certain there’s well over 5 million people who would agree.

He’s so FOS!!!

FEMA removed dozens of Camp Mystic buildings from 100-year flood map before expansion, records show Federal regulators repeatedly granted appeals to remove Camp Mystic’s buildings from their 100-year flood map, as the camp operated and expanded in a dangerous flood plain in the years before rushing ...

This is one of those examples where, if the flood hadn’t happened and a camp director was telling you about this story it would be a perfect example of red tape, bureaucracy, the hassle of regulation etc. And yet.
