The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

Why Democrats are undisciplined and Republicans are regimented The asymmetry explained

Chuck Schumer couldn’t hold his senators together at a time when their unity was essential. Yet Trump gets all Republicans to do his bidding.

Why are Democrats so undisciplined and Republicans so regimented?

Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/why-democrats-are-undisciplined-and

Says the man who feels like nothing can touch him now because he is a trillionaire and he’s got rockets

DeLauro: The president went to the supreme court to deprive kids of food. Unbelievable. And now wants to deny their parents healthcare.

This is the poster boy for every MAGA Trump supporter who continues to make excuses for Jeffrey Epstein's former best friend being outed as a pedophile and child sex predator.

Trump Already Confessed He Knew about "the Girls" - emptywheel In July, Trump confessed he knew that Jeffrey Epstein had "stolen" girls from Mar-a-Lago -- but he suggested he dealt with Epstein directly on that. A new email release makes clear he spoke to Ghislai...

Once again, the way you know that Trump knew Epstein was trafficking HIS OWN GIRLS is it happened w/Virginia Giuffre in 2000, he told (we now know) Maxwell to stop, then Maxwell did it again w/daughter of a club member.

"Mar-a-Lago" confessed all this in 2007.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Lawrence: Trump says 65% of Americans are ‘FOOLS!’ MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains how the shutdown fight demonstrates that Donald Trump “doesn't care about starving people” or rising health insurance premiums or “the future of his political party...

So the Convicted FElon thinks the MAJORITY OF AMERICANS are FOOLS‼️When it comes to Tariffs, to Economy, to Healthcare. He thinks WE are the stupid idiots.

Did Congress pass a law that says American citizens can be deported?

Phang: These firings were illegal in the first fucking place.

It’s like the Republicans are supposed to think that they’ve now done something right by not doing what is illegal in the first place.

ICE agent wounds deputy U.S. marshal and TikTok streamer, who is charged with assault Carlitos Ricardo Parias was charged Tuesday night with assault on a federal officer after the immigration operation in L.A. in which the suspect and a U.S. marshal were injured.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Never forget who sold us out:

Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

Character isn't something you tell people about.

It's something you live.

The SCOTUS administrative stay is a terrible thing for 42 million Americans who are uncertain if they'll have food in November.

But make sure to blame the *real* villain: Convicted Felon Donald Trump. It was his decision to appeal in the first place.

Trump could just fully fund the SNAP benefits.

Thank you Barack Obama for always showing up.To talk us through/ walk us through.The Dems have got to stop the infighting. We need to pull together. This is a fight against right wing extremism. There is room for both democratic socialists & moderates in our big tent. Make room. Make way. Let’s go !

Nixon didn’t go to prison over Watergate, but 48 others were convicted and served time for the scandal - notably, his Attorney General. Attention, Pam Bondi.
