This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

I cannot believe there are still people in my mentions arguing that boycotting an election because the candidates aren’t addressing your issue is a way to get them to pay attention.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

The U.S. is experiencing its highest wave of layoffs since 2020, with close to a million workers losing their jobs this year.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

(between images of the Spotify logo that have been crossed out) DON’T STREAM FASCISM Spotify is treating ICE recruitment like just another ad. But when you turn family separation into a marketing pitch, you're not a platform — you're spreading propaganda. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

Do you use Spotify Premium? Cancel your subscription until Spotify stops running ICE ads. There are other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

Mike Johnson allowing Jeffrey Epstein to keep Arizona’s 7th congressional district without representation for now nearly 8 months.

700,000 more Epstein victims thanks to enabler Mike Johnson, who has weaponized the files against them.

I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

Time for another MRI...

The press has failed to ask *WHY* he got an MRI.

The press would have asked Biden *WHY* he was getting an MRI. The would not have let it go. It would have been discussed ad nauseam.

If your savings account can’t buy you a yacht, maybe stop voting like it can.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

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.

So that Mellon guy who gives away cash from his inheritance doesn’t have any left for SNAP?

Maybe they’re just looking for a heart.

My two takeaways on this:

1. CNN's CEO is utterly craven. No surprise there.

2. The White House is getting very nervous about how poorly the demolition of the East Wing is going over with most Americans. Good.

So Argentina gets a $40 billion bailout from our tax dollars but devastated small towns here at home — nothing.

Residents of Lakeview, Chicago drove ICE out—literally. When agents tear-gassed a lunch-hour worksite near Wrigley Field, neighbors poured into the street, filming, blowing whistles, and shouting them off the block.

Community > cruelty.💪

Worst. President. EVER.

"Mate, I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what? Ronald Reagan was against tariffs."

Wait until he hears that Reagan didn't trust the Russians.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

‘We’ve got to save democracy’: ‘No Kings’ anti-Trump protest in Rock Hill There are multiple protests in the Rock Hill region, including one in uptown Charlotte, with more happening nationally.

There are multiple protests in the Rock Hill region, including one in uptown Charlotte, with more happening nationally.

When you compare the signs at No Kings to the signs at Trump rallies, it's almost unfair how much cleverer witty Antifa is compared to tiring MAGA.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Pam Bondi on Trump saying he hates his political opponents: "The president said nothing about violence...No act of violence was said."
