Happy Halloween from 80s TV Ladies! We're taking today to pay homage to the mistress of the dark herself, Elvira! Elvira's Movie Macabre was a horror program that aired from 1981-1986! She's definitely an 80s TV Lady. Are you wearing an 80s Halloween costume tonight? Share it with us below!

U.S. poised to strike military targets in Venezuela in escalation against Maduro regime The Trump Administration has made the decision to attack military installations inside Venezuela and the strikes could come at any moment, sources with knowledge of the situation told the Miami Herald...

If you have GOP MoCs (either House or Senate), call their office TODAY and tell them it is a grave disservice for them to let Trump send them to a war of conquest w/o the least legal cover, much less any attempt to get bipartisan support.

Earlier this month, the Administration publicly stated it had billions in funding to continue SNAP during the Republican shutdown.

Then Trump decided he'd rather let millions of Americans starve.

Today, two federal courts reminded him that it's not his choice.

It’s the law.

A line of voters outside a Manhattan public school.

At my polling place seven minutes before polls close.

I believe that there’s an aphorism that provides advice in this situation, if only I could remember what it was.

🚨BREAKING: 2 fed courts have issued orders blocking Trump’s attempt to defund SNAP. Congrats to @democracyforward.org, its co counsel and clients, and Dem State AGs.

Speaker Johnson has illegally and unconstitutionally refused to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva for more than a month, denying Arizona voters their right to representation in Congress.

Her election is certified.

His obstruction is partisan and indefensible.

The owner gave an update in Heretic’s IG stories that they will continue the free breakfast plan even after SNAP benefits are reinstated thanks to the public’s generosity.

He is also working with @equitablegiving.bsky.social to figure out how to best use these funds in the PDX community.

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

I remember that!
And we made our calculators say bad words upside down:

Nice!

our reserves are cleared out and the high school drop off point is also cleared out

people are staring down the choice to pay rent or eat food and are taking big risks to go to jobs

we are also looking for diapers — specifically size 4, 5 and 6

please share!

Librarians or others, would you like a helpful one-pager zine that you can print to let people know how to report ICE?

North Carolina Is the Canary in the Election Coal Mine Americans don’t have to imagine what attempts to subvert an election could look like, because it’s already happening in one state.

Modern authoritarians seldom cancel elections, because they prefer the veneer of democratic choice that voting provides, and because they can tilt the playing field toward themselves. “No one likes an election better than Vladimir Putin,” the Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias told me.

I've spent most of the day out on ICE patrol, but I will still be talking to folks at this virtual event about Read This When Things Fall Apart tonight at 6 pm CT. I may be a little messy, because it's been a messy day, but I will be grateful to be in conversation. You can register here:

House Republicans haven't shown up to work for 40 days.

Donald Trump isn't even in the country.

They shut down the government, spiraling us toward a health care crisis that will hike your monthly premiums and jeopardize coverage for millions—

And then just left.

How to Report ICE

This is true.

If we wanted
the USA's hungry
children to be fed,
We would tax 813 billionaires
at 1960 tax rates.
The hungry
would be fed.
The deficit
reduced.
Healthcare,
education for all.
The rich would still be rich.
America would be
stronger, healthier,
happier
and more just.

Sharing for awareness: For those able and willing to help, the Embassy of Jamaica in DC is coordinating disaster relief in the U.S.

They have asked folks to reach out to them at disasterresponse@jamaicaembassy.org to coordinate support.

The government has info on donations supportjamaica.gov.jm

"What I need you to understand is that nobody is letting them go quietly. The Feds' every movement is announced by a chorus of whistles, by a parade of cars honking in their wake, neighbors rushing outside to yell to film to witness.... Neighbors running towards trouble."

Open enrollment starts this week. It's past time for the House GOP to return to work.
 
Let's protect health care, lower costs, and reopen the government.

Is it a government shutdown, or is it the ongoing coup?

🤔

He's taking away healthcare for millions. He gets a thrill out of killing people on the open seas. He wants you to hate. Dwell on that – he wants you to hate. He's demanding our justice department pay him $230,000,000. He thinks he owns the country.

He is a clear and present danger.

A brown haired young man wearing a black shirt and blue jeans puts his ballot in a blue, yellow and white Pasadena, California ballot box. His t-shirt reads Corporate in all caps. There are trees and sidewalk behind him. If you know Pasadena, you’ll know this box is in front of City Hall.

Our 18-year-old voted for the first time! Prop 50, baby! #Vote #Yeson50
