We have 24 hours before the Senate vote to stop the January premium increases - $6,200 annual increase for the average Connecticut family on an ACA plan.

Republicans can still choose to do the right thing and vote with us.

Parents were arrested by Oklahoma troopers during school drop-off while their children looked on. These moments reshape an entire childhood. Enforcement without care isn’t safety, it’s harm.

I was assured by a beer-drinking Supreme Court justice that these were just mild inconveniences and once someone showed an i.d., they'd be let go. Could Judge Drunky Dick-Swinger have been wrong?

That sound you heard was every GOP elected official with a lick of sense absolutely SHITTING themselves thinking about the visual of Mark Kelly back in uniform before a military court as Whiskey Pete's handpicked chucklefucks try to railroad him on bogus charges.

Totally unregulated AI--being sneaked into the national defense bill--what could possibly go wrong?

Time to call your Senators.
Please watch this.

The Senate killed a bill to ban state regulation of AI by a vote of 99-1 this spring. Now the industry - eager to stay unregulated - and Trump are scheming to shove the provision in the national defense bill.

You need to know this, so you can help stop it.

There is never a bottom. Great piece by Will Bunch.
A depraved and decadent Trump WH dinner for MBS was a stunning low for an American ruling class that's stopped pretending to carry a moral compass

It was really a celebration of death - of democracy, of an overheating planet, and ultimately themselves. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ceos...

For America’s deeply corrupt billionaires, time heals all wounds — even from a murderous Saudi prince’s bone saw.

I’m a huge proponent of roles.

Pete and James Talarico kill it.
Pete Buttigieg would be a good DNC spokesperson.

He would do a GREAT job of going around the country, being on TV all the time, and putting out Dem messaging on EVERY issue.

He would be an excellent counter-Leavitt. And we NEED one. He should be holding regular press conferences and putting

huge turnout in Charlotte tonight for @siembranc.bsky.social’s “Safe to Work, Safe to School” training for people who want to learn how to protect their neighbors from Trump’s mass deportation effort.

Death by apathy.
If you want to destroy democracy, there’s a manual.

Authoritarians like Trump follow the steps.

Citizens lose freedoms slowly, one at a time.

The most important enabler is the public’s inaction.

You can stop this today, but not tomorrow.

Silence is complicity!

Starbucks coffee is shit and overpriced. Unionizing is the least they can and should do, how is this a question.
Lots of great non-Starbucks options for your coffee! Pay them a visit until the greedy Starbucks owners decide to treat their workers with dignity.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

The MOST surprising thing about the latest Epstein reveals is

that literally ANYONE is surprised by it.

How did ANYONE not believe he was a pedophile years ago?

How could ANYONE see that much smoke and assume there was no fire.

The people who voted for him don’t care that he is a pedophile.

But her emails.
In retrospect, maybe when he said "grab 'em by the pussy," he meant "grab 'em by the pussy." But who could have known, really?
November 14, 2025 at 5:09 AM
I’d say dereliction of duty, but he did just as he was supposed to. Unforgivable.
You know who had access to every page of the Epstein files and opted not to release them?

MERRICK MOTHER FUCKING GARLAND!!!!

He thinks we’re fucking morons. I mean, a lot of us are, true. But still. This makes my brain crack. Just the dickest dick.
This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?

He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

These operations would be unlawful even if those murdered had all been criminals. But it's important to show just how much deception is involved from start to finish in this gruesome charade.
The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists.

They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver.

Ever notice how the media constantly reports on courts ordering trump to do something and then rarely reports him entirely ignoring those courts without consequence?
