Dem politicians over 60 need to stop running for reelection. Particularly if your constituency is solidly blue. Stop being selfish towards the younger generations. Pass the torch!!!!!
Also here to push for better messaging and overall comm strategy.

I was just reminded that Trump continued slandering the Central Park 5 through the 2024 campaign, while revealing he didn't know the most basic facts of the case. The man has never in his life suffered a lasting consequence.

I’ll keep saying the joke is on you if you think voting is about punishing politicians, hurting others and owning the libs. You’ll be sick and poor through it.

Congrats to the Teamsters (especially their awful president) and all the other truckers & freight workers who voted themselves into a "structural goods recession."

In October, truckload freight volumes declined for the fourth consecutive month.

www.cnbc.com/2025/11/20/t...
Teamsters union members back Trump over Harris by nearly 2-to-1 margin By September 18, 2024 | updated 1 year ago It was a remarkable moment Monday night at the Republican National Convention, surely creating some amount of confusion among longtime Republicans, when Sean O’Brien, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, delivered a stemwinder of a speech in prime time. He called former President Donald Trump a “tough S.O.B.” ‘This is a structural goods recession’: U.S. freight market is starting to roll over as Chinese trade plummets Published Thu, Nov 20 20258:56 AM ESTUpdated Thu, Nov 20 202511:37 AM EST For the first time in 2025, rates for van, flatbed, and refrigerated loads in October were all lower on both a month-over-month and year-over-year basis, according to the DAT Truckload Volume Index. “Freight volumes in the third quarter and October reflect what we’re seeing in the broader goods economy, with shippers drawing on inventory built up earlier in the year to reduce their exposure to tariffs and weak consumer demand,” said Ken Adamo, DAT chief of Analytics. “As a result, the traditional peak holiday shipping season looks virtually non-existent this year,” Adamo said. Van truckloads were down 3% compared to September, and 11% year over year. Refrigerated truckloads were down 2% month over month, and 7% year over year. Flatbed truckloads were down 4% month over month and 3% year over year. The reduced level of dry van and temp-controlled loads that are moving now through the supply chain are goods moving from distribution centers to retailers. The causes of the trade decline range from weakness in housing and manufacturing to energy costs, and shippers pulling forward imports earlier in the year and building inventories to reduce tariff impacts.

Public service is an honor, not an opportunity for self-enrichment at the expense of our constituents. 

My bill, the Stock Act 2.0, would ban stock trading for members of Congress, the Judiciary, and the Executive Branch. It’s time to bring accountability back to government.

Notice a difference in how Democracy Docket framed Trump's threats vs how legacy media did? This is no accident. They are more interested in normalizing Trump to please their corporate overlords. Democracy Docket is only interested in providing you the truth. Support its work. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I can't believe we even have to say this, but swastikas, nooses, and other hate emblems aren't "potentially divisive." They're symbols of terror and should continue to be banned by our troops.
 
Secretary Noem and Secretary Hegseth, I expect a reversal of this immediately.
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Donald Trump rose to power on the strength of his repudiation of Dick Cheney’s blood-drenched legacy, promising, again and again, to be a president for peace. But Cheney’s legacy is alive and well within his administration, political columnist Ross Barkan writes.

Remember your Dem party fighters right now are AGs. They are working overtime to protect us (even red state voters are benefitting) @massago.bsky.social @newyorkstateag.bsky.social
massago.bsky.social AG Andrea Joy Campbell @massago.bsky.social · 7d
I’m joining 20 other state AGs urging the USDA to correct misleading information on SNAP benefits that clearly targets immigrant communities.

We will keep calling out the Trump Administration's unlawful attempts to keep families from putting food on the table.
A blue graphic with a letter addressed to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, signed by Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell that says, "We write on behalf of 21 States in response to guidance issued by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to SNAP State Agencies on Oct. 31, 2025 (“the Guidance”), which purports to explain changes to non-citizens’ eligibility for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits effectuated by Section 10108 of Public Law 119-21, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (OBBB). As detailed below, the undersigned States ask that the USDA retract the Guidance to correct errors therein, and that USDA ensure that the States are not penalized for USDA’s mistakes. The errors in the Guidance’s eligibility instructions for humanitarian entrants like refugees and asylees will create confusion and inconsistency among State agencies and potentially deprive thousands of LPRs of food assistance to which they are entitled under the law. The vast majority of refugees and asylees become LPRs, at which point they immediately become eligible for SNAP—of the 95,000 adults arriving as refugees between 2017 and 2022, 85% had gained LPR status by the end of 2024, and of the nearly 109,000 adults granted affirmative asylum from 2014 to 2021, 88% had gained LPR status by 2023. SNAP is particularly helpful for individuals and families facing short bouts of unemployment or are just entering the labor market, as are many refugees and asylees rebuilding their lives in our communities. We request that the USDA correct the mistakes in the Guidance’s interpretation of Section 10108, clarify that the 120-day exclusionary period begins on the issuance date of the updated guidance, and hold States harmless for any errors resulting from the delayed, misleading, and inaccurate Guidance."
