Red Trump-style graphic with images of Donald Trump and Andrew Cuomo. At the top it says, "I'm going to pick [Cuomo]." - Donald Trump, 60 Minutes Interview, 11-2-25 Then beneath it TRUMP ENDORSES CUOMO

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo!

I know how hard you worked for this.

As we hit Day 31 of this Republican government shutdown, I wanted to put a few websites here that can serve as resources (some of which are regionally specific) to those in need and those who want to help:

feedingamerica.org/find…
cityharvest.org
foodrecoverynetwork.org

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

Another way of looking at it

“We don’t have illegal aliens… the legal term for my people were slaves….”
🚨This is what leadership looks and sounds like in 2025.✊🏼

Let’s make Home Depot rethink their choices!

This is beyond heartbreaking. Those poor kids and their mom... I just can’t take it.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Damn! I thought she was done & ready to be with her husband after what happened to them. There’s gotta be some kind of reform — these lawmakers stay in office until they can barely function. They just can’t walk away from the power or the money. She & Mitch need to go!

Truth Telling isn’t about making oppressors feel good, it’s about educating on their hate that is counter to the teachings of Christ & frankly counter to common decency.

I thank God for clarity, discernment, & morality at ALL times!

Outside Ft. Bragg and another in Chicago.

They are losing and they know it.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Say it!

Wow. I’m so glad she’s calling this out—and judging by the audience’s response, people are ready to hear it. I see the same thing happening locally, where some men clearly absorb these toxic ideas and it shows in how they treat women.

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals 

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing


If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

Maybe it's time for the pathetic and cowardly Democratic Leadership to FINALLY ENDORSE ZOHRAN MAMDANI?

This! 100%! It’s still so unbelievable!

I appreciate Brian’s simple explanation of what this shutdown means—sadly, Democrats rarely put it this succinctly. And I agree—Trump seems to revel in other people’s suffering.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Jessica: The guy who drove up to the Mormon church… was a Trump supporter. He had a Trump-Vance flag in his backyard…

When the shoe is on the other foot and you can't demonize the left for this one, they say nothing.

George Conway @gtconway.bsky.social on the Comey indictment: "This indictment is just quintessentially Trumpian: it is both breathtakingly corrupt, and mind-blowingly stupid."

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this.

Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

As stressed as the country already is, I can’t imagine being on the inside of that hellscape. I don’t blame those who choose to leave, even when others scream for them to stay. I couldn’t spend my days twisted in knots like that—though I’m already pretty close just from the daily happenings.
