Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

The world joined us and said, “No Kings.”

Sanders: Today, October 18th 2025, there are more people out on the streets in more communities all over our country than we have ever seen in American history

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.

Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

As long as I am a member of the United States Congress, I will NOT fund authoritarianism.

I will NOT support Fascism.

And I will NOT vote for a continuing resolution that steals from American families.

🗣️THIS is the message!!

Brava, Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social!!

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

This emotional speech is a reminder to our elected officials like Gabe Evan's that their actions have real consequences on real people. On their constituents that they swore an oath to protect.

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time?

BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

David Frum on Jimmy Kimmel:
"This is not cancel culture because it's not culture. It's state repression. It's an order from the government. Here is the script, you must read, if you do not read it, you will be taken off the air."

Please share your thoughts why! 🙏

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

GOP liars and cowards.

Angie Craig: "Our veterans can't pay for meals with 'Support the Troops' bumper stickers and they can't eat thoughts and prayers."

@tammyjo408.bsky.social

Yes, we warned about all of it last year. Every last detail, every policy. Watched every rally speech, every interview, every campaign video. Posted thousands of clips about it all. Most completely or largely ignored by legacy media.

And yes, it is going to get much worse.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

$1 trillion+ in tax cuts for the wealthy...

"That's just how it is."

McGovern: Listen to this quote from Murkowski who just caved and voted for this. "My hope is that the house is going to look at this and recognize we are not there yet." 

If you really believe that, why the hell did you vote for the bill?

JUST NOW: Sheldon Whitehouse speaks on the Bill Ugly Bill: “This piece of legislation is corrupt. This piece of legislation is crooked. This piece of legislation is a rotten racket. This place feels to me today like a crime scene. The midnight transfer of wealth in this bill is disgusting”

I just left the Senate floor after speaking out against the Big Ugly Bill.

It breaks my heart that this is what we’ve come to as a Senate — and as a country.

Warnock: A budget is not just a fiscal document. A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who doesn't. And if this awful budget were an EKG, it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…”

@lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet.

Bernie Sanders: "We have a president who is moving this country rapidly toward authoritarianism...to a large degree the future of this country rests with a small number of Republicans in the House & Senate who know better, who do know what the Constitution is about, and it's high time they stood up"
