The Epstein files are clearly more damning than we assumed, which is saying something.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

So, am I reading this right? Is it a choice between healthcare for Americans through the ACA and…convenient air travel at Thanksgiving?

FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

"Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings, and sexual assaults in several states" according to an FBI bulletin.

Which, of course, gives ICE cover to commit the same crimes.

"It wasn't us, it was different thugs, dressing up as us."

After Trump’s major losses yesterday, the White House says it’s preparing executive orders aimed at changing how U.S. elections are run, citing so-called β€œblatant fraud” as the reason. It’s clear they just can’t accept losing.

America's religion is capitalism. Money is the God and the color green even trumps the color white.

So many Americans are going to suffer deeply due to Trump’s economic policies.

Meanwhile, they're throwing Great Gatsby parties.

They're underestimating people's rage.

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Why does everyone keep calling it β€œThe Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating β€œThe Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called β€œThe Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called β€œThe Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

I’ve been reposting all of the crowd videos of today’s NO KINGS rallies because at some point they’ll try to say it didn’t happen.

Not reposting the nonsense from the right about how Saturday's march is ANTI-AMERICAN! SOROS-FUNDED!

What they're saying is so nonsensical that it reeks of desperation.

They're scared of a simple display of mass opposition.

Bring your American flags, folks.
It's a pro-America, pro-democracy march
