Trump has now overseen the two longest government shutdowns in history β€” with the current one reaching 36 days.

He ran on fixing a broken system and helping working people.

Instead, he’s making the system even worse and shafting working people by gutting the social safety net.

HOPE in Spite of Trump | Robert Reich

Donald Trump was re-elected president one year ago today.

I said at the time I was hopeful America would quickly wake up to his corruption and authoritarianism.

After last night, I hope you feel that optimism too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bepjl3orz1A

Oh, he’s pissed about the elections alright. He’s also going to reduce the number of flights from 10 major airports, probably in blue cities and states, to apply pressure to the dems over the shutdown and of course punish the voters.

He flip flops on everything, SNAP, tariffs, Ukraine, you name it!
He thrives on confusion and chaos. It provides a distraction!

Over the past week, the Trump regime has flip-flopped on using contingency funds to fund SNAP multiple times.

Meanwhile, 42 million Americans are still at risk of going hungry while Trump sows confusion and chaos.

Don’t forget what’s at stake here.

They did the same thing in the β€˜80s with Ronnie Rayguns. He did the same thing to us with tax cuts for the wealthy!

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

It’s been 44 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her congressional race.

Mike Johnson knows she’ll be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files so he’s done everything he can to prevent her from taking office.

Speaker Johnson, do your job and swear her in.

2 killed in U.S. strike on alleged drug boat in Eastern Pacific, Hegseth says Two people on board an alleged drug-smuggling vessel in the Eastern Pacific were killed by a U.S. military strike, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday

This is the 16th strike of its kind this year β€” and at least 66 people are dead because of the government’s rash actions.

These extrajudicial strikes are illegal under both international and domestic law.

Thanks to Donald Trump, giant tax prep companies are popping champagne, while Americans are forced to spend more time and more money to file their taxes.

Filing your taxes should be free and easy.

This fight isn’t over.

Today is Day 36 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:

1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House.

2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA.

3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."
