Democrats need to run on fixing the economy and immigration reform. They are interconnected.

Bluesky has a reputation for being humorless but

a) I would rather it be humorless than filled with Nazis

b) I will just "mute for everyone" the especially humorless replies to my posts anyway

This is the Canada ad Trump lost his mind over. Shocker, he’s lying—it is Reagan’s real voice.

He’s now cutting off trade with Canada because he’s scared it could mess with the Supreme Court case over his “reciprocal” tariffs.

When people go uninsured, they skip out on doctor's visits, they go without their medications, and they end up in the ER.

If you don't believe me, I asked a doctor to lay out what happens when people aren't covered for the care they need.

Health care should be a right.

Donald Trump's puppet DOJ has no business screwing around with next month's election.

Sending the feds into California polling places is a deliberate attempt to scare off voters and undermine a fair election.

We will not back down. Californians decide our future — no one else.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.

And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

No more.

Bill Maher: What is your prediction for the midterms? I think the Democrats actually are going to do very well.

Gov. Andy Beshear: I do... People don't like extremism. But before we get to the midterms, the Democrats are going to win the governorship of both New Jersey and Virginia.

Despite holding out Costa Rica as an option, DOJ has just publicly filed a notice in Abrego Garcia suggesting that it's identified the Republic of Liberia as the next country that's willing to accept Abrego Garcia (after it was rejected by/unable to make a deal with Ghana, Eswatini, & Uganda).

FFS.

Federal Defendants hereby provide notice that they have identified a new country for
removal that has agreed to accept Petitioner: the Republic of Liberia. Although Petitioner has
identified more than twenty countries that he purports to fear would persecute or torture him if
he were removed there, Liberia is not on that list.
Liberia is a thriving democracy and one of the United States’s closest partners on the
African continent. Since its founding more than two centuries ago by American émigrés, Liberia
has maintained strong connections to the United States. Indeed, Liberia named its capital,
Monrovia, in honor of a U.S. president; its national language is English, the same as the country
in which Petitioner has resided for the last several years; and it modeled its constitution, which
has been in place since 1986 and which provides robust protections for human rights, in large
part on the U.S. Constitution. Liberia also is committed to the humane treatment of refugees.
This commitment is reflected in President Joseph Boakai’s February 2025 Executive Order,
which aimed to enhance protections for refugees and vulnerable populations in Liberia.

Federal Defendants have received diplomatic assurances regarding the treatment of thirdcountry individuals removed to Liberia from the United States and are making the final necessary
arrangements for Petitioner’s removal. Defendants expect to provide the requisite formal notice
of the new designation of Liberia to Petitioner later today. Once that notice is provided to
Petitioner, Defendants will follow the procedures set forth in the policy for third-country
removals previously submitted to this Court. Defendants expect to be able to effectuate removal
as soon as October 31.

Wow! Very impressive for them to do all of this in 2020 while Trump was president and they weren't in the government! Very normal post from the President of the United States!

Smashing Pumpkins release the “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness” album 30 years ago today.

Billy Corgan said “1979” was about “being 17, 18 — this weird feeling of having a job and a car, .. but I still had the tethers to home.”

Why “1979?"

“I have no idea, I had to call it something.”
