Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Tonight, the evil, terrorist nation of Russia is launching ballistic missiles and drones at civilians again, like they do every night.

Putin will rot

Crockett: Why don't you at least try to look like you're serious about your job and look like you are doing the work of the people and not look like a petulant child and swear her in.

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

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.

Well said.

"People are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes about affordability"

Open enrollment for ACA healthcare plans has started, and enrollees are seeing what their premium costs will be next year.

Without subsidies, one couple will see their monthly costs increase from $495 to $2,168 — a 300% increase.

This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.

Trump Spirals on Election Day as Blue Wave Builds - 11/4/25 Updates From defying court orders to spewing anti-Semitic attacks, Trump’s Election Day meltdown shows the chaos of a regime unraveling.

As millions of Americans head to the polls, Trump spent his morning panic posting on social media, attacking the courts, state elections, and even Jewish Americans who dare to vote against his wishes. His desperation was on full display.

They deported a man in a vegetative state. He had called his family from detention until the calls mysteriously stopped, with no information.

A post reads: “I will not raise my children to think Donald Trump is an acceptable American leader. He’s a con artist, a predator, a malignant narcissist. And the worst president in our nation’s history.” Below, a woman stands at a podium speaking, flanked by others, including a man and an older woman, in front of U.S. flags.

ICE officials testify in open court that they believe it's okay to arrest people for their political opinions.

Paging the @aclu.org

I predicted Trump would do this this last Monday on Maddow.

Accountability is coming

worth noting that Mamdani did *not* take the bait

Make that nine anti-abortion judges: Collins just voted to confirm Joshua Dunlap to the First Circuit court of Appeals

This is what has always happened in America, except it's now happening to white people.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

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.

Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts The shutdown is exposing the speaker's slimy disingenuousness.

"The Republican Party has created an entirely avoidable mess for itself. By taking a resolute stand in favor of making healthcare unobtainable for many Americans, and now threatening to starve children to achieve that perverse goal, they have made performative cruelty their political calling card."

We need one of these for Trump, because apparently he doesn't know anything about most of what his admin is doing.

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28.

If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.
