It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.

Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up.

The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

In Win for Democracy in Pennsylvania, Dems Retain Majority on Supreme Court Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: Three Democratic justices on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court have all won another 10-year term in a high-stakes retention election that saw a major GOP push to reshape the state’s highest court. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

According to new NBC and ABC/Ipsos polls, Trump's approval ratings — especially on the economy and cost of living — are now in the negative double digits.

Remember: Trump is a failing president.

He is not all powerful.

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.

Elizabeth Warren: U.S. soybean farmers are in trouble because China quit buying from them. Who is China buying from now?

Julie Callahan, Trump's pick for AG negotiator at USTR: "..."

Warren: What is the country?

Callahan: "China is purchasing Latin American soybeans."

Warren: "Latin American??"

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Sen. Kelly: Let me tell you a story about a guy named Brent from Mesa. He gets his health care from the ACA. He pays $339 a month. That's going to go up to over $1,100 a month. He can't afford it. This guy has an autoimmune disease. This isn't fair to him and the millions of Americans like him

We asked Donald Trump to cut health care costs. Instead, he cut off a wing of the White House.

The Future Is Coming and It's (Literally) Sunny: Notes on the Solar Revolution I drove home to San Francisco from New Mexico last weekend, and in the western Mojave desert of California I passed in quick succession three vast renewable energy sites: the first was three solar con...

The solar revolution means that power can be decentralized, democratized, distributed far more justly. So it makes perfect and hideous sense, given the nostalgia of authoritarians for a golden age (of exclusion, exploitation, and inequality ), to tie themselves to all fossil fuel's problems.

NYT Confirms: Trump will DEMOLISH the ENTIRE East Wing of the White House.

The Times says the East Wing is expected to be fully torn down by the weekend to make room for Trump's ballroom for billionaires — despite the fact that Trump pledged the White House would not be touched.

YOUR VOICE MATTERS

Rep. Eric Swalwell: Republicans don’t want to work, have closed down Congress, have closed down the federal government, aren’t paying federal workers — and most Americans are going to pay more next year when it comes to their health insurance premiums.

The longer this goes on, the more Americans want to know why Republicans are protecting pedophiles.

Demolition of the East Wing has commenced to build Trump's $250 million ballroom.

Trump previously pledged that the ballroom would not interfere with the existing building.

The longer the govt is shut down the more people get their renewals, and the more people who aren't already convinced will realize that the Republicans are lying that it's about Healthcare for undocumented immigrants.

Also this bill is impossible

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

No Kings in Los Angeles: Patriotic Angelenos showed up, y'all — BIG TIME. 🙌💪👏✊️🇺🇸👇

This is what solidarity looks like. Together, we will win.

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970

The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside

Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23

They constantly let America down

Just to say, so many beautiful older faces out there for #NoKings day

Many thanks to all my fellow Third Actors! @thirdactorg.bsky.social

A bald eagle showed up to the York, Pennsylvania protest! You know it’s bad when even the country’s mascot hates Trump

Even the animals are saying No Kings today!

"USA! USA!" chants and lots of US flags waving at what Mike Johnson claimed would be... "hate America" rallies.

A Plan to Rebuild Gaza Lists Nearly 30 Companies. Many Say They're Not Involved A presentation that has been shared with the Trump administration references Tesla, Ikea, TSMC, and more in its plan to rebuild Gaza. Some of these companies say they had no idea they were mentioned.

"This was surprising and new information for us. We have not approved the use of the IKEA logo in this context," IKEA spokesperson Arvid Stigland tells WIRED.

Tesla and Amazon did not respond to requests for comment.
