So the one to 25,000 bad apples in the NYPD are "self-deporting?" What a great way to weed out the most prejudiced assholes. Congratulations, New York City!

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Why?

And MAGA are the Nazis

Who fed him *that* bullshit line?

We’re at war?

Not the relevant takeaway here but Heggy keeps trying to sound tough by using poaster memes. Just comes off as desperate and weird.

Tell me more about ‘Sleepy Joe.’

How sad is it that the richest country on Earth has a government that has to be forced to feed families with hungry children?

SNAP benefits shouldn’t be a courtroom battle. People shouldn’t have to beg for basic humanity. But here we are.

Americans are finally starting to receive their SNAP benefits.

Trump is rushing to the Supreme Court to try to ensure those people starve.

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.

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

Republicans don’t know how facts work.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

There's nothing "moderate" about surrendering in exchange for "strong assurances" from congressional Republicans. That's just stupid political malpractice. Republicans are losing this fight, and Dems should hold the line!

Ezra Levin on Bluesky: “There's nothing "moderate" about surrendering in exchange for "strong assurances" from congressional Republicans. That's just stupid political malpractice. Republicans are losing this fight, and Dems should hold the line!” A screengrab from The Hill: “At least eight moderate Senate Democrats are meeting in hopes of finding a deal to end the monthlong government shutdown, but sources familiar with the closely held conversations say they will need strong assurances from the GOP before voting to reopen the government.”

The American people appreciate that Democrats are fighting to protect healthcare for millions — we cannot afford another surrender to Trump. Thank your Democratic senator(s) for fighting hard to keep healthcare costs down and urge them to keep holding the line: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

Jeffries: "The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program. That's the reason they refuse to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva."

The Indivisible Maryland Coalition—a network of 49 grassroots groups statewide—is calling out Senate President Bill Ferguson for refusing to move forward with redistricting in response to Republican-led gerrymandering nationwide. The coalition argues Ferguson’s inaction weakens Maryland’s Democratic supermajority, silences state lawmakers, and undermines efforts to defend democracy. They urge Maryland leaders, including Governor Wes Moore and the General Assembly, to show courage and act decisively to protect fair representation and counter GOP map-rigging.

The Indivisible Maryland Coalition urges immediate action on redistricting to counter Republican-led gerrymandering in other states. They call on Governor Wes Moore to convene a special legislative session and for the General Assembly to assert Maryland’s authority to protect fair representation. They emphasize that Senate President Bill Ferguson can still reverse course by supporting mid-decade redistricting rather than maintaining inaction. The coalition calls on Maryland residents to pressure Ferguson and their legislators to back a special session, arguing that delay until 2026 would forfeit a key chance for Democrats to defend democracy nationwide. The statement concludes that Ferguson must stop blocking his own party and take a stand for democracy — Marylanders deserve leadership and action.

Thank you to the Indivisible Maryland Coalition for calling out a powerful Democrat's attempts to block Democrats' redistricting push in his state. GOP states are rigging the midterm maps nationwide and Maryland must act to level the playing field — our democracy needs fighters, not bystanders.

With all these extrajudicial boat murders, we have a president who is not only an adjudicated rapist, but also an unapprehended serial killer.
