Hey, Republicans: Blame Trump Exit polls show Tuesday’s election was a referendum on the president and his policies.

In the California referendum, self-identified Democratic voters outnumbered self-identified Republicans by 22 percentage points. But Prop 50 passed by about 28 points. www.thebulwark.com/p/hey-republ...

β€œThey came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.”

Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

As SNAP benefits are cut, this should be something we demand of state governors to do with their states national guard.

Food banks & other forms of community aid will feel the stress caused by these cuts. There will undoubtedly be understaffing and shortages, this is one way we can prepare for this

One of Trump's billionaire buddies just bought Paramount. Now, he wants to buy Warner Bros.

That means one giant company could control almost everything you watch on TV.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

"There is a mountain of evidence." Former federal prosecutor Paul Butler lays out all the evidence provided by Donald Trump for former FBI Director James Comey's lawyers to make a motion to dismiss the case against him on the grounds of selective and vindictive prosecution.

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

The "one big trick" that every aspiring authoritarian in the 20th century has learned is that you don't have to get people to agree with everything you say, you just have to get them to mistrust anything that anyone other than you says. Widespread cynicism is corrosive to democracy.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

On its 90th birthday, Social Security deserves to be celebrated. It is the most successful anti-poverty program ever, but Donald Trump and JD Vance are marking the anniversary by trying to pull the plug on a system every American pays into.
