The smell of fresh coffee, hope and possibilities in the morning.☕️

The winds of change are blowing against the corrupt Republican Party. This is definitely a much needed glimmer of hope in this dark oppressive abyss we have been slogging through since January. Let's keep the momentum going! #NoKings

MAPLE MAGA Is Collapsing in Canada Defections, budgets, and Canada's sovereignty have officially started the beginning of the End for Canada's MAPLE MAGA Leader, Pierre Poilievre. He's over.

... Yet we, as a society and as a nation, largely refuse to discuss his mental condition—at least publicly. The accelerating destruction that he has wrought, and will continue to wreak, is on all of us—especially those who choose to look the other way.

... And what is right or wrong turns on how, at any given instant of time, it makes him feel, and upon how he thinks it affects him.

This is textbook pathological narcissism. It is textbook sociopathy and psychopathy. These are textbook personality disorders. ...

Meiselas: Donald Trump has the lowest approval in presidential history and you see front pages of newspapers across the country like this: “Food pantries are flooded with new people."

This, while Donald Trump is out there partying at Mar-a-Lago with his Great Gatsby–themed Halloween party.

CALIFORNIA CELEBRATES DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS

Feliz Día de los Muertos, California!

Today, we honor our loved ones who’ve passed — building ofrendas, sharing stories, and celebrating the joy and love they brought into our lives.

May their memories continue to guide and inspire us.

May the odds be ever in your favor

So much infighting these days.

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers “just following orders” should not be exempted.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

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.

Be warned. https://www.commondreams.org/news/fiserv-ceo-frank-bisignano

Trump and Republicans went to court to try to steal food assistance form 42 million people ahead of the holidays.

Do not forget this.

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...

Art of the Deal.

Who could have foreseen Trump taking maximum advantage of the Supreme Court granting full immunity to presidents who sell pardons to the highest bidder and commit crimes?

Now the only remedy is impeachment, which he knows Republicans will never do no matter what he does.

Bunkering down in military housing. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Guess which one was doing the begging because he desperately needed some bs to try and sell as a “win.”

Remember during oral argument on the presidential immunity case when conservative justices scoffed at and mocked the hypothetical that a president with immunity could just start killing whoever he wanted and there was nothing that could be done if he has immunity?

This land return and tule elk reintroduction is a significant milestone in California's relationship with the Tule River Indian Tribe.

We're taking critical steps to confront the historical wrongs committed by the state against the Native people of this land.

Zohran Mamdani is the bright future of the Democratic Party — brimming with excellent ideas about what working families need.

I was delighted to chat with him earlier today.

If you're a New Yorker, don't forget to cast your vote for him by Tuesday, Nov. 4.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. He hasn't done squat to help working people. The Epstein scandal haunts him.

Remember that every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.

Meiselas: Donald Trump just got schooled by the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell. Powell said that based on how Donald Trump is harming our economy, it is far from a foregone conclusion that there will be further rate cuts. Hide that ketchup bottle from Donald Trump.

With Donald Trump's government shutdown halting SNAP food benefits, California is stepping up.

We've fast-tracked $80 million to food banks across the state and deployed hundreds of California National Guard service members to help make sure Californians in need don't go hungry.

Thugs.

I hope Donald Trump takes the time he has on his flight back to America to actually read the U.S. Constitution — and then negotiate in good faith to end the government shutdown he left behind.

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.
