We have seen the Trump playbook before. In 2020 it was to pressure election officials to overturn the result of a free and fair election. Now it is to intimidate state legislatures to illegal redistrict. We defeated him the and we will do so again.

A Democrat's Democrat.

Trump administration policy change makes deep cuts to homeless permanent housing program More than half of the 2026 funding for the program will be shifted from permanent housing to transitional housing with work and service requirements.

The Trump Administration is withholding funding for housing assistance programs, which could cause 170,000 Americans to lose their homes this winter.

That’s unacceptable. I’m demanding it be fixed & that hundreds of thousands of families aren’t needlessly evicted.

To the young leaders of Fisk University and the volunteers I met with the Tennessee Democratic Party: Thank you for using your voice to fight for our nation. Always remember, the power is with the people.

Helen Gahagan Douglas (she married actor Melvin Douglas) served in Congress & then ran against Richard Nixon in the 1950 CA Senate race.

Nixon - aided by Hedda Hopper - ran a smear campaign against her.

There’s a book about the campaign by Greg Mitchell called Tricky Dick and the Pink Lady.

Oh my goodness! I am a Rumpole fan and I am, in fact, shocked!

Enten: "Trump's net approval rating is at -15 -- the lowest it has been during his entire second term... the Democratic lead on the generic ballot has widened. Trump's political position has worsened. I don't think how you can look at both and conclude anything other than that Dems won the shutdown"

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

USAID shutdown has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths | Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health The Trump administration’s decision to shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths from infectious diseases and malnutrition, accord...

The numbers vary from study to study but hundreds of thousands of people have died because of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio illegally disbanding USAID — a body count on par with the first eight years of the Syrian civil war — In just seven months. It’s mass death that is simply unfathomable in scale.

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.

That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

It would be better if they stayed in & started doing their jobs as a coequal branch of government protecting Americans from the excesses of Trump/Stephen Miller.

Mamdani Response to Protest Inflames Tensions With Jewish Leaders

No. We're not doing this.

The so-called Israeli settlers in the West Bank are violent extremists—terrorists—who are killing civilians en masse.

EVERYONE should oppose radical U.S. entities trying to recruit people to swell the ranks of these nutjobs.

EVERYONE.

Mamdani is in the mainstream here.

Nancy Pelosi looks & sounds younger than Bernie. It’s not about age. It’s also not about “corporate money” (2016) or “genocide” (2024).

It’s about (mostly) young, (mostly) male, white grievance.

@wyden.senate.gov and @repespaillat.bsky.social leveraged their letterhead to get airlines to stop giving passenger flight data to the government. It worked. The airlines are shutting down the program.

Ds are really good at doing things that are outright wins, and really bad at sharing them.

Hassan Addel Salem: A Profile of Privilege.

He’s safe in the U.S. while the ppl of Gaza & the West Bank are annihilated.

If those who claim Kamala would have been a vote for genocide genuinely believe Gaza & the West Bank are better off w/ Trump, they clearly don’t care about Palestinians.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

ok this is flat-out bad.

Mamdani needs to fire Katz tonight.

No palling around with red-brown fascism.

Californians are buying ice scrapers at Home Depot, then immediately returning them....bogging down the entire store, until Home Depot refuses to allow ICE to loiter at their location to detain innocent people.

Winter is coming. Scrape ICE.
