People are shocked by how blatant the corruption is. I am not.

For the first time in his life, he's legitimately rich, not just posturing. The ballroom, Home Makeover DC Edition renovations to the Lincoln bathroom and Oval screams new money. This "golden era" is him no longer feeling like a fraud.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Trump‘s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Yesterday we had a meeting on the block. We had to. The state of the government and its affect on the community was the topic. We discussed the best way to proceed in all of the uncertainty. The other day there was no SNAP in November. Then it was half. Then it was none again. Then it was half again. Then 65%. Then 35% in the exact same day. So you can see what I mean when I say, uncertainty. The hokey pokey of this administration had us wondering should we keep doing dinner everyday and lean in, or stop because people are getting a percentage (I think? ) of their SNAP benefits? Now, preparing meals outside on a street corner in the summer is hard. But, outdoors in a Chicago fall/ winter is brutal. We've done pop ups before in the winter but never everyday... BUT, knowing how difficult it could be and will be, every single volunteer who cooks and shows up to serve everyday STILL voted that we can't stop. The kids need us. Even with a fraction of the benefits. Even with the indecisiveness of the government. Even in the cold, wet, ick, that is sure to come. Even without funding. They all voted to still show up. And then people in the neighborhood started dropping whatever they had in their pockets on the table. Because we're all in this together. 🎶"I wish I could give you this feeling. I wish I could give you this feeling."🎶

Shutting it down for the night with this post from a comrade in Chicago:
🎶"I wish I could give you this feeling. I wish I could give you this feeling."🎶

Washington National Opera may move out of Kennedy Center due to Trump ‘takeover’ Ticket sales at about 40% unsold compared with before president made himself chair of US performing arts center

“People send me back their the season brochure shredded in an envelope and say: ‘Never, never, will I return, while he’s in power.’”

This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇

Former Kentucky marriage license clerk and connoisseur of Mormon compound prairie couture, Kim Davis, believes that marriage is sacred. And all three of her former husbands (one, she divorced twice) agree. #ChristainNationalistBusybodyHypocrites

I will die mad.

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

Fuck you, Sleepy Joe! Oh, wait…

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 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.

Live Updates: Hundreds of U.S. Flights Are Canceled as Shutdown Hits Air Travel

Trump was bragging about all the emergency funds he has to fund his priorities. Why isn't air travel for millions of Americans a priority?

Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command.

If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics.

It’s trials w real punishments.

On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime has:

-Cut $1 billion from USDA programs supporting food banks
-Enacted tariffs that have caused food prices to rise
-Made the largest cut to SNAP in history
-Canceled the annual food security survey

Shameful.

always important to consider the signaling effect of elections. one likely outcome of tuesday is to encourage the strongest candidates to throw their hats in the ring.

THIS is y'all MAYOR?????????????

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @democrats.org don’t fumble this while you’re on the goal line. Last night proves you have the people on your side so long as you keep fighting.

Republicans will fold—they’re losing and they know it. People blame them for this mess. Keep holding out.

Congratulations to Governor-elect Sherrill and Governor-elect Spanberger! Voters are making it clear across the country that they want Democratic values – and Florida is next!

Every race. It’s basically been every race.

Governors. Mayors. Long-held GOP dog-catchers. School boards. Water boards. Flipped a dungeon master in a rural Iowa D&D club. State senators. State reps. A janitor in Duluth. State justices. Three GOP Uber drivers.

Just everything.

Democrats finally get to celebrate, yet questions remain about the party's path forward. Here are key takeaways from Tuesday's results. now

Media orgs are confused and upset about last nights Democratic wins.

I don’t recall a “questions remain” after Trump or GOP wins.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

that it’s happening now - with a year left to potentially ride a tidal wave of progressive elation into the 2026 midterms and chase some of these cryptkeepers from their seats - must terrify them

this is such a great encapsulation of why this race feels existential even to people outside NYC. Cuomo as the final boss of everything wrong with the current Democratic Party, Mamdani happily grabbing the third rails everyone’s told are too dangerous to touch (trans people, Muslims, socialism)
