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.

‼️ 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.

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

Does anyone work anymore?"

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 employedβ€”but in jobs that pay poverty wages

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

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.

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."

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.
