This dark time should wake us up to the bankruptcy of the corporate Democratic Party. It should mark the birth of the people’s Democratic Party. Zohran Mamdani and others like him are its future. Some thoughts...

An anonymous donor gave the Pentagon $130 million? Yeah, totally normal. Like the Tooth Fairy filing 1099s.

Broadview PD instructed us to go into the “free speech zone” early. Last week, they told us to go into the street and then we got beat with batons.

We’ll see what happens!

Mike Johnson is now pretending that it's Rep-Elect Grijalva who is not doing her job, when he's the one shirking his duties.

And even *he* knows this is bullshit. He corrects himself to call her "Rep-Elect" not "Rep" because he actually understands there's a very important difference.

Mike Johnson: "Rep. Grijalva can work -- Rep.-elect Grijalva can work for her constituents right now. Constituent services, answering the phones, she has computers and 16 employees and there's no excuse for it. The Epstein files are being released."

Good morning.

It's been 31 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

This is their playbook for the midterms. Intimidation and harassment - if we are lucky it will only be that. Because their full playbook is most likely much worse but this is the warmup act.

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone.

New York has her back.

Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

Republicans say they care about federal workers, but today they blocked my bill to pay ALL federal workers, servicemembers, and contractors and stop Trump’s illegal firings.

I hope they’ll join us to get our public servants paid — but not in a way that lets Trump turn around and fire them anyway.

My bill would pay ALL federal workers during the shutdown. Republicans blocked it.

You know when you watch a disaster movie… and the pres runs the country from a high tech bunker under the WH? That bunker is under the east wing. It’s called the Presidential Emergency Operations Center, or PEOC. And the ballroom is probably a cover for upgrades.

#50501movement #FDT #NoKings

That $300 million pricetag?
It probably isn't just for a golden ballroom...
The last time a president expanded the East Wing
"for renovations," it was to hide a bunker.

A reminder that creepy racist insurrectionist pedo defender Mike Johnson is continuing to block the swearing in of Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva even though she was elected on Sept. 23rd. She would be the 218th vote needed for the Epstein Files discharge petition.

one of the key aspects of fascism is the normalization of cruelty

Think about how numb everyone has to be for this type of thing to be remotely normal. Is this not a war crime?

Adam Cohen (My Personal Views Only) @axidentaliberal.bsky.social · 1d

The Trump administration doesn’t know if the people in this boat committed a crime

Didn’t arrest them

Never indicted them, conducted a trial, proved their guilt or-if they were actually convicted-argued over their sentence

No-they simply killed them

Then broadcast the murder on social media

Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost @frost.house.gov · 3d

Social Security isn’t a handout, it’s an earned benefit you pay into every paycheck. It's a promise.

But the Trump Administration is trying to break that promise & gut federal agencies so billionaires and corporations can cash in.

It's a betrayal to working people & seniors.
