How to answer a loaded question.

(This is Joe Neguse, Congressman for Colorado's 2nd District.)

Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..

Illustration split down the middle — on the left, a white dove with a peace symbol labeled “Left Wing.” On the right, a black eagle clutching a swastika, labeled “Right Wing.” The contrasting imagery highlights peace versus authoritarianism.

There really are two sides.
One wants to feed people, give them healthcare, and protect their basic rights.

The other wants to take those rights away, punish the vulnerable, and remove safety nets.
Two sides.

Donald Trump has wielded power as no previous president has, often in open defiance of the law. His actions have raised a chilling question.

OPINION | THE EDITORIAL BOARD

Are We Losing Our Democracy?

By The Editorial Board

Billboards outside US Southern Command urge troops not to 'break the law’ in Caribbean strikes “Don’t let them make you break the law,” reads a billboard along the road to U.S. Southern Command, one of several set up by veterans.

"The new billboards are designed to inform troops of legal resources … 'The [Southern Command] strikes … represent the most blatantly illegal act that this administration has had the military carry out.'"

“If you can’t get a vote on your record, don’t play us against each other.”

I’m grateful for the Rev. Sharpton’s powerful words of unity this morning and against the cynical politics of fear and division.

Cool optics bro

This list was 1,475 long this morning.

Trump's spiritual advisor is number 1,313. He's in prison for raping a 12 year old girl. The TDS guy is number 1,381.Republicans prefer to let children starve than to hold their own child molesters accountable.Can't make it up.

A tweet from the official Department of Homeland Security account tags @SenatorDurbin and reads: “.@SenatorDurbin, this is SHAMEFUL. Want to talk about TERRORIZING? How about condemn the terrorist attacks and mass assaults against our law enforcement.” It continues: “Our @ICEgov officers are PROTECTING our communities from illegal alien gang members, rapists, and child sex offenders—that YOU are supporting. You should be thanking our brave men and women of @ICEgov instead of demonizing them.”

Senator Dick Durbin posts: “Your agents arrested a young cancer patient’s dad. She’d just returned from chemotherapy. No criminal record. Immigrants aren’t the threat here. You are.” Below the tweet is a photo showing a man wearing a cap and an American flag t-shirt sitting next to a smiling young girl in a sombrero at a restaurant, with food and drinks on the table in front of them.

Sen. Durbin isn’t taking Kristi Noem’s crap. Nor should he!

Some more #Halloween week humour.
This one will may resonate with #cozymystery fans of a certain age.

That place is absolutely gorgeous - and it made me very nostalgic for when I lived in Japan. So, it was really well done. But that fall foliage?? Wow, that steps it up even further!

California, we have the power to stop election rigging, right now!

Did you get your ballot in? I did and so did my entire family. Remind everyone you know. 👊🏽

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

📌 Kudos Rachel Maddow for

breaking this down for us 🐥

Refusing to feed people while building a massive ballroom is a fast track to eat the rich. No pun intended.

“Hey. I’m the actual Zohran Mamdani. Not the guy they talk about on this channel.”

Zohran runs an ad on Fox News to undercut their endless unhinged fearmongering and greed-fueled racism.

More Proof That Everything Chump Touches Dies.......

Well there you have it. This is one reason why he wants a war. He just said it.

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

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.

“We don’t have illegal aliens… the legal term for my people were slaves….”
🚨This is what leadership looks and sounds like in 2025.✊🏼
