Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

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

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

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Carved turnip with eye sockets and a red mouth with teeth

I know it's harder and more dangerous to carve a turnip but the effect is so much more disturbing, and thus in keeping with the season

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Californian, here: I voted ‘yes’ on prop 50, and my vote has been counted.

If you’re a California voter: It’s your turn now.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

The iconic image of Jane Goodall hugging a chimp

She taught us so much about being related to the rest of the natural world, living understanding that interrelationship. Vale Jane Goodall

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

“Antifa and other domestic terrorists”

You. Me. Whomever they decide to name, target, and remove from a free life.

Just FYI: Portland as a war zone is horseshit, and deploying federal troops is horseshit.

I miss the days when the president wasn’t declaring war on our own people.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Respectfully, can Dem leaders please figure out how to protest without getting bullied every time? Every time they slam you guys to the ground and drag you off, it reinforces the message that we're weak and ineffective, and that they are strong and in control.

Hey, want to see what Jimmy Kimmel actually said?

Insanity.

No notes

This is extrajudicial execution, without any clear threat to the US, no authorization from Congress, and far beyond even Article II. The military is not the president's personal hit squad.
Or wasn't, until now.

Rep. Jim Himes: "Look at your senator, look at your governor, look at your member of congress — if they didn't say 'Deep breath, calm down. In this country, we don't have enemies, we have people who disagree with us, and that's a strength of this country,' then fire them."

Now Is Not the Moment to Fall Silent Call Fascism, "fascism". And hate, "hate".

“But several things can be true at the same time: (1) Political violence is never acceptable and needs to be condemned. (2) Political violence must not be the pretext for silencing political speech. (3) It’s more important than ever to push back against autocracy…”

Stephen Miller is scary AF. Some of these bozos are acting like fascists by accident, but he knows exactly what he's doing.

Poland’s prime minister 👇🏽

That is clearly not what Klein is saying here. He's commenting on his strategy & tactics, not his BS politics.
