Republicans need to act now to make sure those benefits are available to people who depend on them. If they don’t, millions of children, seniors, and low-income Americans will go hungry ahead of the holidays.

It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.
Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

Former AG Eric Holder: “If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028, Supreme Court reform is something that has to be considered. Term limits, at a minimum, and potentially expanding the Court, should be on the table.”

Jensen Huang Founder, President, and CEO Nvidia Corp. 2788 San Tomas Expressway Santa Clara, CA 95051 Dear Mr. Huang: Since July 2025, President Trump has solicited $300 million in private donations to build what has been presented to donors and the public as “the President Donald J. Trump Ballroom.”37 Despite assurances from the White House that President Trump has been “incredibly transparent” about the project, as well as a claim that the Administration had “released the full list of donors thus far,”38 critical details about the plans for the project have changed numerous times, including its total cost and scope.39 Most recently, the New York Times identified several donors for the ballroom who had been kept secret by the White House, completely belying the Administration’s claims of transparency, and raising serious questions about why the Administration and these donors sought to keep their donations a secret in the first place.40 You have been identified as one of the donors to this project who chose to remain anonymous.41 Pursuant to Senate Rule XXV of the Standing Rules of the Senate and Senate Resolution 94 (119th Cong.), Section 12, I write to request information regarding the terms of your donation and why it was not previously disclosed.
@blumenthal.senate.gov is asking all the secret donors to Trump's bunker-ballroom for more details.

If only major media would pounce on a story like this and not let it go. Remember how they drove Biden off the ticket?! If only we saw half the tenacity Seth delivers from MSM!
Great read on a significant impeachable offense by Trump amongst his daily offenses!
The framing of this is hilarious: Democrats deeply worried about the repercussions of a victory

The American Right is utterly lost. These are people who insist they're smarter than us but pretend to be unable to pronounce the words "Kamala," "Mamdani," or "Democratic Party" (as opposed to the incorrect "Democrat Party"). They invade and bankrupt US cities while giving $40 billion to Argentina.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

Alt National Park Service: Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. These signs were not created by the real “No Kings” group. Don’t let deceptive messaging confuse or suppress your vote.
"Reports are coming in."
These reports "came in" weeks ago, to the Bucks County Beacon and other Pennsylvania outlets like PhillyBurbs.com. Not today, and not to the Alt National Park Service.

Trump’s new DOJ move isn’t about facts.
It’s a weaponized fiction...designed to jail his rivals and sanctify his mob.
You need to see how the lie is built…and what it’s meant to destroy.👇

24 corporations are giving Trump millions to build his new White House ballroom.
16 of them have government contracts.
14 are facing federal enforcement actions.
Coincidence? We doubt it.
On the ballot today:
-NYC: Mayor
-Minneapolis: Mayor
-VA: Governor, Lt. Governor, AG, and state House
-NJ: Governor
-PA: State Supreme Court
-GA: Public Service Commission
-TX: TX-18 U.S. House
-CA: Prop 50
This is a reminder of how crucial it is to vote up AND down the ballot.
The elite dancing on a floor held up by regular people. Words: "A little party never killed nobody."
While the elite toast under chandeliers, the common people hold up the floor beneath them. Their laughter echoes off walls built from our labor — but the cracks are showing, & someday, the floor will rise.
Today, we rise by voting blue!
No, Megyn Kelly, it has nothing to do with "taking over American cities." It's an accurate description of your white trash bigotry, and your attempt to fabricate threats that don't exist to rationalize your shitstain radio show
