I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

ADL removes β€˜Protect Civil Rights’ from website as it narrows its mission amid right-wing attacks The removal took place after FBI Director Kash Patel said he would cut ties with the ADL, though it is unclear if that has happened.

there are two schools of thought on protecting Jewish safety in America: we either fight for a pluralistic democracy where we are safe because minority rights are protected or we seek junior partner status in the MAGA white nationalist alliance

the ADL has chosen a side

I think their side is morally wrong but I also think it's insanely short-sighted. the next generation of MAGA will be virulently antisemitic. it does not matter how enthusiastically you support the leopard eating faces party, the leopard is always hungry

DOJ Scrubs Jan. 6 Attack From Court Record After Suspending Career Prosecutors Read more here.

This is next level authoritarianism.πŸ‘‡

"Following the suspension of two career prosecutors, the U.S. Department of Justice quietly revised a sentencing memo in a high-profile case β€” removing all references to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and President Donald Trump’s social media post."

Wow. Based on the comments, a lot of people saw me on Maddow tonight!

Lofgren: Now, instead of the president weighing in, we’ve got him doing weird little dances as he lands in Asia, and he’s missing in action. The Senate is refusing to negotiate across party lines, and the House of Representatives isn’t even meeting. I mean, I’ve never seen anything like this.

This is untenable.

If you’re attacking people who think this is wrong, you’re doing the bidding of the ultra rich while they laugh at you behind your back.

If you think Trump’s numbers are bad in the USA, you should see them here in Canada.
He’s probably the most hated man here since Hitler.

I still can’t believe Scott Bessent, whose net worth is $521 million, went on TV and claimed that he β€œhas felt the pain” of the trade war because he is a β€œsoybean farmer.”

And he claims to be a β€œfarmer” not because he grows things, but because he is a landlord of some farmers.

The UC Regents finally released the β€œsettlement agreement” the Trump administration proposed in August. It’s a doozy.

UC alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents, donorsβ€”and all citizens of California:

Now is the time to let the UC Regents know you do not want them to sign this bad deal.

That β€œworking class” is a transparently race and gender coded term tells you who pundits view as low and middle income workers and what type of work they believe β€œcounts” among this group.

Reality: the working class is predominantly White women and racial minorities in the low wage service sector.

Many "progressives" use "working class" to mean a job they romanticize and imagine doing: the True Volk. It would be better to say, a working class job is one the pundit would NOT want. Home health aide, server, roofer, fruit picker, Amazon warehouse stocker. People who need some actual progress. 1/

If you don't have the kind of politics that helps workers in low-paid and oppressive jobs, you do not have a 'working class policy'.

If you don't want to be associated with people with lowly jobs and little power because that makes you feel weak and unmanly, then you aren't progressive. 2/

It's now been 30 days since Adelita Grijalva has been elected to Congress to serve Arizona's 7th district. She's STILL not been sworn in. She's also the 218th vote on a discharge petition to release the Epstein files.
2+2 is 4. Whatever's in those files must be damning to Trump.

Whoever is the next Democratic presidential candidate should vow to tear down the hideous ballroom and rebuild the Rose Garden, I bet there are a lot of votes in that

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

I’ve been waiting for many years for a prominent Democrat to relentlessly fact-check their lies in real time rather than issuing press statements days later when it’s too late.
