No place in the country will feel more pain from Trump’s premium increases than Florida. In many parts of the state, 20% of families get their health care from the ACA. The stories were gut wrenching.

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.

As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city.

Tomorrow, we win it together.

Zohran, Tish James and Brad Lander lead a procession of hundreds walking across the Brooklyn Bridge at dawn.

Tish James, Brad Lander, Tony Simone and Rita Joseph wait for the march on the bridge.

I would argue that the word "Democrat" is no longer applicable to the vast majority of those under 50 (or under 40) without an attached qualifier.

Democrat = Schumer, Jefferies, Pelosi, etc. (Weak old guard)
Democratic Socialist = Mamdani, AOC, etc. (Tough cool kids)

The people who complain about Dems as a circular firing squad don't understand that it's not circular because regular people aren't holding any guns.

When Dem senators vote for Trump's nominees, they've lined up with the Republicans to shoot at us. All we can do is shout from behind the blindfold.

Can I also just say, again, that the Biden admin under no circumstances committed to “left-wing” migration policy, in any way, shape, or form. I want Douthat to articulate what specific policies he thinks are included in that, because I think he seriously misunderstands the policies at issue.

Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 2d

Utterly bizarre to describe climate change policy as some kind of radical-left albatross.

The IRA contained precisely the kind of 'kitchen table' programs everyone says Democrats should focus on — and they're popular!

The problem was that Americans *didn't know* what the IRA was or who passed it.

It is completely obvious that the party lost in 2024 because it overcommitted to a range of unpopular left-wing positions, some of which yielded disastrous policy results (like the Biden migration wave) while others merely persuaded constituencies that had voted Democratic in the past (like blue-collar Midwesterners or culturally conservative Latino men) that the party now cared more about climate change

In poll after poll, Americans have said that they know little to nothing about the IRA, with the most recent poll, out in April 2024, finding that 4 in 10 people say that they don’t know enough about the law’s provisions to have an opinion on them. At the same time, a July 2023 Data for Progress poll found that large numbers of Americans support provisions in the IRA when asked specifically about them, including tax credits for businesses that produce clean electricity, electric vehicles, and new clean energy technologies (69%); rebates up to $14,000 per household to improve home energy efficiency (71%); and ramping up production of American-made clean energy technologies (73%). And perhaps most significantly, support for these key IRA provisions has grown over time among all likely voters, especially Republican voters.

Mr. Obama sir we tried to tell you that you were running with a bad crowd (billionaires), they’re bad news

www.cnn.com/2025/10/31/p...

People who know Obama say he has been surprised and appalled in how many of the rich people who now form his social circle have made concessions to Trump. He's
reaching out to business and other institutional leaders, urging them not to bend to the current administration even if it
helps their bottom lines.

Let's just lay it out. Epstein was a glorified pimp who used and sold the services of children to the wealthy, the elite, and the powerful. His clients will destroy anything and everything to stay hidden. They will even starve poor people. They have no bottom and no conscience.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

not saying the City of Durango PD had any good response here, neither on the scene nor last night at the emergency city council meeting, but the chief claimed the regional ICE director was condescending & obstructive to him & i think it's neat the feds are pitting cop agencies against each other

There's a bipartisan push by some in Colorado's congressional delegation to free a father and children seized by ICE on their way to school in Durango. ICE has not suggested the father committed any crime.
