study after study after study shows that literally just handing people money and telling them "do what you want with this" reduces homelessness, increases food security for children, makes it more likely people will find and retain jobs.1

It's been 40 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

There was a lot more to Harris‘ message than don’t vote for Trump. There was patriotic joy - and new plans for Medicare covering longterm care & $20k for 1st time homebuyers. It’s getting harder for a D to win, especially a woman.

US economy is underwater too

He is doing an excellent job of speaking into the issues w Trump. 👍

Newsom: "This is a historically unpopular president. His policies are even more unpopular than him. In every core category he's underwater. He who promised to make us healthier & wealthier & we're poorer and sicker ... He knows he's lose midterms so he's trying to rig it before 1 vote is cast"

Meiselas: Donald Trump has the lowest approval in presidential history and you see front pages of newspapers across the country like this: “Food pantries are flooded with new people."

This, while Donald Trump is out there partying at Mar-a-Lago with his Great Gatsby–themed Halloween party.

👀👀👀👀

Also, only 8%? It should be like 30.

Speaker Johnson: Federal employees aren’t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar.

End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

This is such a massive issue. The most vulnerable will be even moreso. It’s shameful.

Agree. She had a shift like she blew a socket a couple yrs ago…

At a time when our politics feels broken, we need leaders like @mikiesherrill.bsky.social for Governor.

Mikie will work to create jobs, lower costs, and do what’s right for the people of New Jersey.

I support #KennyLoggins for this, do you?? #Pinks #SheShed

'An urgent issue': Hundreds of Georgia foster kids may have been sex trafficked, report says A new report shows that hundreds of children have likely been sex trafficked while in Georgia’s foster care system.

Project 2025 calls for the removal of kids from poor single parent households to be placed with “proper” parents.

With SNAP being cut, the judgement on low income families is only increasing.

Meanwhile 1,790 kids went missing from Georgia foster care. Many of them were likely sex trafficked

This is not true. CA does NOT have the highest poverty rate of any state. Looking at you, MS,LA & AK.

Thank you! SNAP is a very minimal no brainer for preventing malnutrition & investing in the future.

Big time. If you qualify for food stamps, you need them. We all know people on them. Let them buy what they want.

For me, it (and many other experiences) gave me a model of just stepping in when needed. Courage. Honor. I just can’t believe it’s rare. It’s a confusing moment for sure.

My premiums are doubling.

Feels bad.

So much of life is just being decent. Instinctually. Though I understand your need to do these calculations, I’m so grateful that when I was attacked on the street by an ICE adjacent, a couple stepped forward and pulled me away from the assailant. There was risk & violence. I’ll never forget them.

They’ll be ok

@timmiller.bsky.social takes on how Fox News ran with a totally fake story—racist AI videos pretending to be real “Black women”—and then quietly changed the headline instead of admitting they make a mistake.

Did someone else write your last line? 🤣🤔🤣

You know what evil looks like? The orange felon hosting a Great Gatsby themed gala at his trashy private club yesterday whilst trying to end SNAP benefits and healthcare subsidies from tens of millions of Americans. Giving a convicted criminal full power was a horrible idea.

Lord save me from people who have the privilege to sit around and debate who is and isn’t a “true leftist” while fascism rolls across the US.

Opinion | Why Do We Allow Child Marriage in America?

Did you know that we allow child marriage in the US? We do, in 34 states, and four or five children are being married every day on average. I once met a Floridian married at 11 to her rapist. And California has no minimum age at all for marriage: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/o...
