Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

Eleanor Roosevelt is pictured here with 27 of the 35 female reporters in attendance at the first press conference she held as first lady. Mrs. Roosevelt made history by holding her own press conferences and inviting only women (White House press conferences were at the time open to men only). See the FDR Library and Museum Tumblr feed for more details. March 6, 1933. http://www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/daybyday/resource/march-1933-18/

‼️ From the East Wing, Eleanor Roosevelt expanded the role of first lady, working to highlight women with intention. Her first news conference, March 6, 1933, featured 35 reporters, all of them women. She helped elevate the role of women in national and political life, as well as in journalism.

Must view Shutdown Update
Late last night Dems filed #SNAPBackAct legislation to prevent SNAP funds from being cut during a shutdown & to reimburse states that are trying to reappropriate funds to cover the gap. ~ Rep. Stansbury-

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Robert Reich The Shady World of Surveillance Pricing (Ft. Lina Khan)

A new report finds corporations like Kroger and McDonald's are using digital loyalty programs to track your data and potentially charge you more.

It's a tactic known as surveillance pricing.

Virginia Giuffre’s Hunt to Find Epstein’s Men She knocked on doors across the country, trying to find witnesses to verify her story of abuse, until one opened up.

When she first told her story about being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein, Virginia Giuffre was called a prostitute, not a victim. By the time she died, she had won a historic settlement from the British royal family and forced the world to look at what powerful men try to bury.

I think it should be called the Virginia Roberts Giuffre Memorial Ballroom.

#HomeDepot
Time to shut it down.

Don’t shop there.

They don’t believe in democracy and constitutional rights.

Another example of how obtuse the far right is re: business and economy—kidnapping the very workers/customers who sustain Home Depot.

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

The shutdown could force over 6 million low-income mothers and children to lose WIC support within weeks—nutrition and health at risk. #TrumpHatesOurHealthCare

Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."

The post-humous memoir of Virginia Giuffre is released today

Omission of news is propaganda too.

No Kings in Los Angeles: Patriotic Angelenos showed up, y'all — BIG TIME. 🙌💪👏✊️🇺🇸👇

This is one of my favorite pictures from yesterday, Governor Pritzker with the protesters...

Friendly reminder that Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir drops Tuesday and contains the truth she wanted the world to hear about those who abused her and the cost of silence.

Buy it. Read it. Give the woman some justice.

Love this lady!!!

This says it all

The Trump regime tried to paint No Kings Day as a “hate America” protest, but what we saw on display was the best of what this country is meant to be. #NoKings
