I love my family, dogs, motorcycles, people with critical thinking skills, the occasional cat and have zero tolerance for fascists, dominionists and anyone that votes for rapists. My favorite motto is my country's motto, "E PLURIBUS UNUM''

Between people having to kayak to work in both Alaska and Jersey and Long Island posting sad videos of Halloween decor floating down their streets and the Bay Area staring at their submerged cars, I really think it’s time to stop claiming climate change isn’t real.

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

They’re freaking out!!!

Trump’s cabinet secretaries falsely claim Dems are keeping the government closed because of the “No Kings” mass protests, and Mike Johnson calls it the “hate America rally.”

The truth is: we love America, but we hate tyrants. That’s why we’re doing this.

See you Saturday.

Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Hey @npr.org and @nytimes.com why aren’t you focusing any energy on the missing and thousands displaced on the western coast of Alaska from Halong?
There are journalists & correspondents covering this story locally, give them a chance to show & tell the world what climate change is doing to Alaska

DoD sources tell Zeteo that staff there have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.
