Obama is better than caffeine…any day. I had almost forgotten what it sounds like when a fine orator is at the podium.

Imagine that. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/u...

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

It was great being back in Norfolk to help get out the vote for @abigailspanberger.com for Governor.

Virginia – Abigail Spanberger cares about your freedoms, she will fight for your rights, and she will work every day to make your life a little bit better.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone.

New York has her back.

Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

White House Approves Halloween Event, Snubs Hispanic Heritage Amid Shutdown

The White House announced trick or treat festivities while their Hispanic Heritage event remains canceled

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The most reckless, stupid administration E-V-E-R. Nothing comes close.

As U.S. airports reject Kristi Noem’s partisan video, key senator seeks investigation Can the DHS secretary use taxpayer money to make a propagandistic attack ad, which airports are rejecting anyway?

Gnome’s gotta go.

Dump has become unhinged. He is totally divorced from reality and facts — he is mentally and physically in decline.

Kluwe: They’re trying to get even more seats for Trump.

If you’re willing to sacrifice American values and democracy, then you can wave all the flags you want, but you’re not an American—you’ve decided you want a king, and you’re okay with that. And frankly, I’m not okay with that.

We're going to make history tomorrow. #NoKings

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

The Supreme Court has set the December calendar. The big campaign finance case, NRSC v. FEC, will be heard on Tuesday, Dec. 9.

I will be arguing for the Democratic Party Intervenors in defense of the law and against the GOP petition.

Trump’s Secret Police Shot a Citizen. Then Damning New Info Emerged. As the official Trump administration line about the shooting of a Chicago woman crumbles, Senator Chris Murphy is asking pointed questions about what really happened here. Will we ever get answers?

Important: Sen Chris Murphy just sent pointed questions to Kristi Noem about DHS's account of shooting of US citizen by Trump's paramilitary forces in Chicago. The official line is imploding. Murphy wants Noem to explain why DHS misled. More like this, Ds.

It is rather interesting to see how closely their uniforms resemble the uniforms of the SA Brownshirts...

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Federal Raid Outside Row Hotel Migrant Shelter Rattles Residents In what appears to be a first under the current Trump administration, federal agents targeted migrants just outside a shelter.

This has been updated with strange new details. I spoke to one person who was arrested but then released, who described being taken to a subterranean parking garage and questioned by agents who said they were with ICE and told them they were looking for Venezuelans..

Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrants—even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers.

It’s the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror
