BIG redistricting news out of Indiana:
State Senate Rs say that they do NOT have the votes to redraw maps, and thus will NOT convene in December to do so.
Stay vigilant, Indiana Dems.
Who knows what they’ll pull.
But right now this is looking like a HUGE win.

This coming week, Trump will host Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi leader who approved the murder and dismemberment of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Not coincidentally, the Saudis are working on a new business deal with the Trump Organization.
It's blood money – or bonesaw money.

Manolo’s Bakery in Charlotte closed today to protect their customers from ICE. This is a hard working Charlotte family. They deserves better than having trumps goons hassling their customers. They aren’t chasing criminals.
We all deserve better than #Felon47.

For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

Both parties should support this. Using AI to generate a video of a candidate saying something he didn’t say should be illegal. Especially since many voters think it is real. I will condemn any candidate from either party who does this.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.
This is big: elected Republicans in a deep-red state saying NO to Trump even after his personal plea.
The balance is shifting - and we have to keep up the pressure everywhere.
53% of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to American democracy.
Meanwhile, just 100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion on federal elections last year — a 160-fold increase since Citizens United.
The people know: billionaires should not be able to buy our elections.

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

And much more but what I want to ask is if you’d ever consider interviewing me. I was just on with John Fugelsang and the I’ve Had It podcast. I just want to push what I’m working on which is a massive DC protest. He’s on the ropes and I want this to be an uppercut. Please help if you can! 🙏🏼
