No health care, no deal.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

I don’t what to say about a Dem leadership that can be undone by the likes of Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen. Saying they went over Schumer’s head is not the flex people think it is.

Had the shutdown continued, Republicans would have been blamed for holiday travel chaos — and by the time the next CR fight comes along, rates will have already gone up for millions.

We gave away all our leverage for literally no reason.

Robert Reich Is Your Grocery Store Ripping You Off?

Inflation is on the rise — particularly at the grocery store.

One big reason why?

Minimal competition opens the door to maximal price-gouging — and the opportunity to pull shady tricks like this. https://youtu.be/ad5GfgrPkYo?si=iDRiVN9_TsjGsD9k

Brad Lander on Mamdani's Win: "It’s not only on Zohran. It’s on all of us." In an op-ed for In These Times, Lander writes that in response to looming threats from Donald Trump, "We’ve got to rise to the challenge together—as New Yorkers."

No.

Trump arrives in FL for another weekend of parties and golf while his attorneys fight in the Supreme Court to deny food to SNAP beneficiaries despite a court order.

Republicans are starving Americans to force Democrats to open the government so that Republicans can take away people's health insurance!

YouTube Quietly Erased More Than 700 Videos Documenting Israeli Human Rights Violations The tech giant deleted the accounts of three prominent Palestinian human rights groups — a capitulation to Trump sanctions.

Erica Deuso Makes Trans History, Elected as Pennsylvania Mayor "We pulled off something that would have been unthinkable in Chester County just a few years ago.”

Erica Deuso: She's bisexual, she's trans, and she's the mayor-elect of Downington, Pennsylvania!

Tasha smith from Why did I get married smirking

You see how many of these politicians CARRIED in their election races WITHOUT throwing trans people under the bus? Exactly, exactly.

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history.

Now let’s get to work.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

The “Home Goods” White House:

@governor.ca.gov

Yet they’ve got the audacity to pat themselves on the back like this is a game.

This isn’t governing — it’s reckless, it’s cruel, and it’s a damn disgrace.

Do your jobs. Or get the hell out of the way so people who actually care about Americans can.

Republicans have officially caused the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

Folks aren’t getting paid, families are wondering if they'll have food on the table — and now they’re closing off airspace right before the holidays. (1/2)

Today is only the beginning.

Our time has come, New York. Our time is now.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

Legal experts agree that the indictment against me and five others is politically-motivated. Thank you @legaleagle.tv @lizdye.bsky.social for bringing attention to this case.

🤷🏼

One thing I don't see ppl talk about:

Food pantries are often inaccessible to Autistic ppl & other Disabled ppl

Bus lines sometimes aren't near them

Disability can dictate what food you can eat

Often in food pantries you don't have much choice, unlike SNAP

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

“.. Guests were seen mimicking ‘Roaring 20's’ era attire, a period just before the Great Depression that historians note for its staggering income inequity.” 🤡

Robert Reich A Conversation with Zohran Mamdani

Zohran Mamdani is getting a new generation of young people excited about politics. My own granddaughter is knocking on doors for him in the final stretch of the NYC mayoral race. I was pleased to speak with him ahead of Tuesday's election. https://youtu.be/rqU0DAjg0RA?si=ZYVwyxSyA9xdR4bj

TRUMP to @60Minutes & @NorahODonnell: “I ended 8 wars”

He seemed to know a Bari Weiss-led CBS wouldn’t challenge him on it. #RIPCBS
