A couple years ago I worked on 12 grants in my role as a task force director at the Library of Congress. This year, zero. We are going to lose a lot of our public memory. Which is at the crux of fascistic mobilization.

Did the off-year elections settle the Democrats’ big debate? It'd better have.

Ever since the reasonable woman lost to an autocrat wannabe, the Democrats have been going through another painful round of debate: Should the party move to the center or adopt a more progressive stance?

But with the election results last week, the debate is over. Or, at least, it should be.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line.

I’m terribly disappointed in him.

Let me return to the feel good moment of the night.

That’s why I say keep calling.

Tonight was a very bad night.

This would mean selling out the American people for NOTHING!!! Will they let the regime slip in a nationwide abortion ban, too? The senators who cave are spineless!!! #resist

This is more than disappointing. It is selling out the American people for NOTHING!!! Will they let the regime slip in a nationwide abortion ban, too?

Not enough people are talking about this:

Even before Trump cut off SNAP funding, he and Republicans in Congress made the biggest cuts to food assistance in U.S. history.

TEXT: DONALD TRUMP’S WAR ON SNAP July 4: Republicans make largest cuts to SNAP in history October 24: Trump Administration deletes guidance that SNAP funds must continue during government shutdown. October 31: Judge rules that Trump must follow the law and deliver SNAP. November 1: SNAP payments don’t go out. November 3: Trump Administration says it will only provide HALF of SNAP benefits in November. November 4: Donald Trump posts on Truth Social that SNAP benefits still won’t go out, ignoring the court order and leaving millions without support to afford groceries. November 6: A federal judge ordered the Trump Administration to pay full SNAP benefits. Trump Administration immediately appeals.

Donald Trump’s war on SNAP.

Intuit, parent company of TurboTax, donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration. Always follow the money.

The same guy who "doesn’t want to hear about affordability" posted about his new marble bathroom 7 times last week.

In July, Trump and Republicans cut $1 trillion from Medicaid, kicking 15 million people off health care.

Now, they’re refusing to extend ACA tax credits, meaning premiums could double or triple for 22 million Americans next year.

Democrats are fighting back to protect health care.

Statement from The NewsGuild of New York and Condé United on illegal firing of four union leaders who demanded answers about this week’s layoffs at Teen Vogue, other brands Late Wednesday night, Condé Nast’s VP of Labor Relations notified the Guild that the Company was immediately terminating four Condé United leaders for engaging in the protected concerted activity of gathering in their 1 World Trade Center office to demand answers on this week’s abrupt layoffs at multiple brands including WIRED and the consolidation at Teen Vogue. These egregious terminations are a flagrant breach of the Just Cause terms of our contract and an unprecedented violation of their federally protected rights as union members to participate in a collective action. Through these illegal terminations, Condé Nast management is attempting to intimidate and silence our members' advocacy for the courageous cultural and political journalism of Teen Vogue, as well as diverting attention away from the obvious lack of corporate leadership at the company. Condé United members illegally fired are: Alma Avalle: Writer, digital producer at Bon Appetit; NewsGuild of New York first vice president, trans activist, and union leader Jake Lahut: Wired senior reporter covering the Trump White House Jasper Lo: Senior fact checker at The New Yorker and US Army veteran: outgoing first vice chair of The New Yorker Union Ben Dewey: Videographer at Condé Nast Entertainment, former vice chair of the CNE unit “Management’s attempt at union-busting, using intimidation and grossly illegal tactics to try to suppress protected union activity, will not stand,” said Susan DeCarava, president of The NewsGuild of New York. “The NewsGuild of New York has zero tolerance for bad bosses who harass, target and disrespect our fellow Guild members. We represent nearly 6,000 media workers across the tri-state area and we stand firmly in solidarity, ready to fight for the rights of our members illegally fired from their jobs at …

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

If only the Speaker put half as much energy into governing as he does into avoiding work.

He still hasn’t sworn in Representative-elect Grijalva, people are hungry, planes are grounded, and Republicans are on vacation.

They’re showing you exactly who they are. Believe them.
