Fierce Mom in EBC

I don't know what happens if the Epstein files are released.

I remain unshocked + deeply disturbed by all things Trump.

But can we talk about Epstein's spelling, grammar, & communications abilities? How embarrassing for him.

This is what happens when stupidity+evil are glorified. Everyone loses.

Are you paying attention? MAGA Republicans are stealing from you! The vote to reopen the government includes a multi-million dollar payoff a QUID PRO QUO to 8 senator conspirators who colluded with Trump during the January 6th insurrection.

Epstein Alleged in Emails That Trump Knew of His Conduct

Epstein wrote in emails, at least one back in 2011 when there would have been little incentive to lie, that Trump knew about what he was doing with girls www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Though Trump’s pardons can’t extend to state crimes, I think it’s worth pointing out the message being conveyed:

Trump’s allies are alleged to have stolen data from state voting systems in an effort to help him overturn an election he lost.

Now he’s pardoning them for it.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I'm a SNAP recipient... for the last month I was tightening my belt, doing my best to eat cheaper and eating less so I'd have a little left over to help get me through when payments were cut. It was all for nothing. Fuck the dems who supported this.

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.

Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.

Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.

Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

They're treating Trump illegally firing federal employees like it's leverage, not a criminal act.

The Democrats who caved just taught Republicans that using mass starvation as a weapon works.

A spreadsheet presenting the following information: United States Senate: Voters Represented: Proportion of Pop Represented: Number of R: 53 151196069.5 45.71% Number of D: 45 178560948.5 53.99% Number of I: 2 1002718 0.30%

I never see this really emphasized in news about Senate votes so - reminder that the 45 Democratic senate seats represent something like 54% of the population.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Isn't there another word for a far-right activist from Germany?

Are they capitulating? Is Schumer selling us all out again?

Trump turning his head away from a man suffering from a medical issue epitomizes who and what trump is. He can’t be bothered unless it’s something that strokes his massive ego or bloodthirsty narcissism. He is completely devoid of human compassion, a dangerous trait for a leader of any Democracy.

The GOP spends money to oppress The People and holds back food and medicine in an attempt to starve and sicken The People.

Please stop falling for the MTG is a new person con.

Please.

💔 I wish MAGA supporters would see this. That their hearts and minds were reachable. 10 years of this hate, I don't believe they are capable.

Amazing how upfront and unfiltered he is about his ongoing authoritarian project. The goal is to make sure the opposition can never win, and he flat-out says it.

"Thank you for your attention to this matter"

Democratic leaders ask Trump for meeting to end shutdown

the abject failure of centrist dems in an election that swung very blue otherwise nationwide should be a gigantic wakeup call that trying to tack to the right and "moderating" is a lost cause

Democrats Retain Control of Pennsylvania's Supreme Court with Three-Seat Sweep - Bolts Three Democratic justices on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court have defeated an unusually high-profile Republican bid to unseat them. They secured large statewide victories on Tuesday, following an histo...

Last night’s overwhelming Democratic sweep in Pennsylvania preserves liberal control of the state supreme courts across the Midwest’s Blue Wall—MI, PA, WI. These courts are really important for election law and voting rights.

This is a classic form of voter intimidation—making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.

Go Vote! California, let's get prop 50 passed.

These people have civilian jobs. It's one thing to mobilize them for an emergency or a legitimate war, another thing to send them to American cities to stand around and mill about. You're messing with people's careers to further a hostile and idiotic agenda.

We love @neguse.house.gov

Oh my god.

This ship has sailed. Pretending we can easily step back to a functional democracy if we play by the rules and hope for the best is absolute madness.
