So pissed

This hidden provision is so crooked and selfish, it doesn't even apply to US Representatives. Just US Senators.

Senate Dems: “And you promise we can vote on this once we give up all of our leverage?”

Sen Republicans: “Absolutely.”

Sen Dems: “Okay, hold it steady.”

Sen Repubs:

Getting the government to do what’s legal by paying employees back pay isn’t a win. Courts would have ruled that. Shame on you for caving.

@kaine.senate.gov Wrong move to cave. Beyond disappointed in your move.

How I’m feeling a few days before Election Day. Happy Halloween! #voteblue

Nearly everyone has an election next Tuesday. Some are small, like for county measures. Some are big, like California's Prop 50 (Yes on 50).

I encourage you to watch this video with the sound on and carry these screams with you as you vote for progressive policy in any way you can.

DHS deceptively spliced images from different cities and times in videos sowing fear about "chaos" in Chicago and Washington, D.C., a WaPo investigation found.

DHS used footage from years ago, half the country away, or even in international waters, the Post found.

"Literally, today, Trump is saying, 'Look, I'm just gonna kill people' and the 'greatest deliberative body' has nothing to say about it."

Folks, Jordan Wood is running for the U.S. Senate in Maine in 2026.
He’s a Democrat. He’s 36 years old. He’s a progressive.

His campaign emphasizes anti-corruption, standing up against corporations and wealth, and pro-democracy reform.

Check him out…

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

These costs are sucking chest wounds to the average American, and will be impossible to weather. This, alongside the AI bubble, the housing market bubble, the loss of jobs, encroaching inflation, and every other batshit thing Trump does, will lend itself to a cataclysmic cascading failure.

Warped priorities: 17 NYT news stories on the Louvre jewel heist (so far); 3 NYT news stories on 7 MILLION PEOPLE attending No KIngs Day events (including one on late-night comedians and one on Trump's "brown liquid" video.)

Glad to attend a #NOKINGS protest in NJ yesterday with my sister before I drove home. Great energy and more happy honks than hate.

Remember our mantra:

Don't Engage, Just Block.

My husband’s ballot came in the mail. Mine did not. I looked into why and…

I was purged from the voting roll.

PLEASE CONFIRM YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION.

Whether it’s Joe Biden attending weekly mass or Donald Trump’s ICE agents shooting a priest in the face with a pepper ball, presidents of both sides have directly engaged with the Catholic faith.
