Kamala Harris: It is about reminding folks that we refuse to kneel at the foot of a tyrant. That's not what we do. We stand for the principles upon which our nation was founded. We believe in the power of the vote, and we are prepared when necessary to fight fire with fire.

Obama: The weird videos of a U.S. President with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet and dumping poop on protesting citizens… All of that is designed to distract you from the fact that your situation has not gotten better.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Trump’s America: FBI Director is taking govt jets to watch his girlfriend sing, president is in Palm Beach holding Great Gatsby balls after golf, we are murdering people in boats while refusing to show proof of guilty, govt is shut down, airports are a disaster, prices are up.

Obama: "They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and blame DEI for every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? Must be DEI. Your wife kicked you out? DEI. Who knew?"

Kamala Harris on Jon Stewart's podcast: "I mean, are you fucking kidding me? This guy wants to create a ballroom for his rich friends while completely turning a blind eye to the fact that, that babies are going to starve when the SNAP benefits end in just hours from now?"

When a federal judge just ruled the Trump admin’s plan to cut off SNAP benefits is “likely unlawful,” and ordered aid...to continue during the shutdown...it was a major crack in the strategy...courts are stepping in...as millions face losing food support. The pressure...just shifted.🔥🔥🔥

Not sure who needs to hear this but we landed on the moon

Enough is enough.

After months of Donald Trump playing around with the California National Guard as if they're his toy soldiers, we're asking the courts to finally return all service members back to California's command.

Let's get them back to the real work they signed up for.

BREAKING: Speaker Johnson eats his own words, after saying Dems filed a "frivolous lawsuit" they "were going to lose" to make the Trump Admin use contingency fund to pay the SNAP benefits.

Two federal judges ruled in favor of Dems, and Americans.

Demand for Trump's Social Security Chief Bisignano to Resign After $30 Billion Implosion of Former Company | Common Dreams The former CEO of Fiserv has been accused of causing chaos, with the company's stock plummeting by 40% and $30 billion i

As Fiserv CEO, Frank Bisignano overinflated sales projections before quickly cashing out with a $500M stock sale.

Now, Fiserv's market value has collapsed — and Trump has put Bisignano in charge of Social Security.

the tone deafness is beyond parody

Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

I have a flight this weekend and I’m more than a little concerned…

The shutdown affects us all:

• Air travel: TSA and FAA slowdowns = delays, canceled flights, less safe

• SNAP + WIC: Millions lose food assistance

• Farmers: No crop payments, disaster aid, market reports

Democrats ramp up probes into Trump’s $300 million White House ballroom Lawmakers are demanding answers about the project’s financing and what donors have been promised. The White House has defended its use of private donations.

Democrats are expanding their probes into Trump's demolition of the East Wing and construction of his planned ballroom — pressing the White House and outside companies to explain the project's finances and what was promised to contributors.

The senators want a "complete accounting."

Voters really don’t like the fact that Trump is stealing their healthcare and screwing over American ranchers.

Feds Say Kat Abughazaleh “Impeded” ICE Agents. That Would Put Her on the Right Side of History. Kat Abughazaleh allegedly protested in Broadview, Illinois, where ICE was “forced to drive at an extremely slow rate of speed,” feds said.

Feds Say Kat Abughazaleh “Impeded” ICE Agents. That Would Put Her on the Right Side of History.

If six people nonviolently protesting outside an ICE facility is a criminal conspiracy, all First Amendment-protected activity is at risk.

Trump's FCC just scrapped a Biden-era cap on the maximum price of prison phone calls between inmates and their families.

Telecom and private prison companies — which donated to Trump's campaign — lobbied for the rollback.

This regime's cruelty and corruption knows no bounds.

David Sirota writes: “A group of literal oligarchs bewailing socialism at a gathering inside a kingdom ruled by an actual monarch is a bit too on the nose.” The embedded post from Bloomberg TV quotes Bill Ackman saying: “‘Having a socialist mayor would be catastrophic,’” referring to his opposition to Zohra Mamdani’s campaign for New York mayor. The image shows a panel of business leaders seated at a lavish conference in Saudi Arabia.

You know what’s catastrophic? Being sold out by the billionaires in that room.

“Mom, what’s for Thanksgiving?”

“We’ll find out when we get to the soup kitchen. Jeffrey Epstein’s ballroom isn’t going to pay for itself.”

Private equity gave $10M to Trump's inauguration. He gave them greater access to Americans' 401(k)s.

DuPont and Dow Chemical gave $750K. Trump exempted them from an air pollution rule.

Intuit gave $1M. Trump killed the IRS Direct File Program.

Everything is for sale.

Americans who have been arrested & detained NEED to join together on the Capitol steps for a media BLITZ!
