Sadly this callous probably demented man leads our country

What a Night! I’m hopping on a plane to SoCal for the next few days to attend Human Rights Campaign events, but I wanted to share with you some of my joy, delight and thoughts on yesterday’s resounding election res...

From sea to shining sea - Americans said ENOUGH!
We’re tired of the corruption, the cozying up to dictators, the abandonment of our allies and ESPECIALLY the attacks on our cities
Plus taking away SNAP and starving people is just cruel.

I just finished my analysis about what comes next after last night’s blowout elections. Donald Trump and the GOP are going to do everything they can to rig the 2026 midterms.

Zohran Mamdani is what happens when you run for Justice.

He won by standing for social justice, economic justice, Trans rights, immigrant rights, labor rights, Palestinian rights, & diversity!

And the people voted accordingly to support his vision!

November 4, 2025 (Tuesday) So much for obeying a court order, even if begrudgingly and with manufactured delay.

Yesterday voters resoundingly rejected Trump and Trumpism, and today, politics will be a whole different game.

IT’S ELECTION DAY, AMERICA!

Remember to get out and VOTE!!!

Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.

Good News: A Court Rejects Trump's Effort To Suppress The Vote In March, Donald Trump issued an executive order titled “PRESERVING AND PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY OF AMERICAN ELECTIONS.” Predictably, it was designed to do anything but that.

There is some good news on the voting front today and it’s important news. It shows us that the courts can still lead, and the rule of law is not broken. No matter what Trump wants you to think. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Our House Was a Very, Very, Very Fine House Trump views the physical history of the White House much as he views the nation’s laws: something to be swept aside at will.

Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina. Here’s $40B Trump’s Giving You. Trump’s MAGA allies aren’t thrilled by the prospect of our stocking up on pesos and Argentinian beef.

Trump’s economic “policy” has no real philosophy—it just involves throwing money at people he wants to help and tariffs at people he decides to punish. Even some folks in MAGA can't help but notice.

Trump's fake video featured 'Danger Zone.' Musician Kenny Loggins wants it scrubbed The "Danger Zone" singer is asking for his performance to be deleted from a fake "King Trump" video that the president posted to Truth Social on Saturday.

"I can't imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us…There is no 'us and them' – We're in this together, and it is my hope that we can embrace music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us."
