The silence of congressional Republicans to all the Trump corruption - from his disgusting pardons, to the UAE crypto money, to the Qatari jet, and the ballroom, should be used against all of them in midterms along with their silence on tariffs which has made things unaffordable.

Absolutely, positively. And for the Caribbean boat strikes, too.

If we want to stop the kidnappings and these agents require anonymity to commit these actions, then we must remove the masks.

So long as we allow masked law enforcement to terrorize people, we cannot be a democracy.

For Trump: Seafood towers at Mar-A-Lago

For Americans: Bread lines

NIH is currently being destroyed, per Project 2025. Impossible to overstate how harmful this is to all new science.

Multiple NIH contacts of mine from my time at Harvard have confirmed same.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

I friggin dare you to watch this to the end.

Watch & tell me it doesn't move you.

This is a 16 year old American boy explaining how Trump's reign of terror & #ICELawlessness has impacted him & his family.

If it affects you, please share it. I beg you to hit the link in the next post & save it.

Many in Trump’s administration now live on military bases, to shield themselves from the majority of Americans they are screwing over in favor of the oligarchs.

Many Republicans won’t do town halls.

They avoid the citizenry because they’ve stopped serving them.

We deserve much better.

@sahilkapur.bsky.social Why isn't there a workaround to this? It seems bonkers that Johnson is able to singlehandedly refuse to swear in new members who were duly elected? A writ? A procedural bypass? Or was this never anticipated so there's no recourse?

Layoffs are reaching their highest levels since the pandemic, but America's corporate elite have never been doing better.

Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

Yes. 1000%.

Wow!

Shutdown Offer | Explainer YouTube video by Heather Cox Richardson

If you are furious at #ChuckSchumer about his offer to negotiate with Republicans, you MUST watch this explainer by @hcrichardson.bsky.social. This was much more of a chess move than anyone expected from ol' Chuck.

Republicans now COMPLETELY own the #TrumpShutdown

“The true measure of any court lies in its willingness to defend those who cannot defend themselves.
If the judiciary turns away from the poor, from the hungry, and from those in need, then it has abandoned the very reason for its existence.”

Thinking this level of inequality is unsustainable isn’t radical, thinking it isn’t is

Dumbest timeline.

Humanity is doing great

The most evil American is the President of the United States

The most evil man ever to become a US citizen after years of living here illegally will become the world's first trillionaire

And the center of global democracy, the White House, will soon host an MMA cage match

Yes

Evil beyond words. Republicans institutionalize sadism.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.

So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

... but I did not splatt the mustardy....🎵🎶

This is going to be a shitshow, so we need to remind each other to be patient and kind. TSA has been working without pay.

📌 The FAA announced major restrictions that experts say could lead to thousands of flights being canceled as the government shutdown drags into day 37.

From Lawrence O'Donnell: SCOTUS heard oral arguments on the Tariffs. The Regime lawyer admitted that Tariffs are taxes that WE THE PEOPLE pay and not the counties and that Congress has the authority to regulate Tariffs not the President. There is a good chance for them to rule against the Tariffs.

CNN: "A brand new report is out showing layoff announcements hit their highest level for October in over 20 years. It's painting a picture of a job market that is really hurting. US-based employers announced 150,074 job cuts in October, more than any October since 2003."

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. “Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

The majority of Americans are good. We have heart. We have compassion. When we see others struggle, we want to lend a hand.

For too long, we’ve been divided and pitted against each other by those who crave obscene wealth and power.

Let’s change that. One election at a time.
