well i think naming a ballroom after your best friend is something to be celebrated tbh

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Two things are true at once:

1) they are making moves that are designed to steal the 2026 and 2028 elections through redistricting and voter suppression, and

2) their success is far from a foregone conclusion.

YES ON PROP 50.

And start thinking about your GOTV work now.

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

Whoever is the next Democratic presidential candidate should vow to tear down the hideous ballroom and rebuild the Rose Garden, I bet there are a lot of votes in that

SNAP assistance should be enough to cover 2000 calories a day of HEALTHY food PER PERSON. Yes I want the government to make sure everyone has wholesome, tasty, filling meals. The problem isn't that people need assistance with food, it's that the assistance is a freaking joke.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

You are not alone. He is destroying the White House!
It’s the people’s and a historical treasure. It’s symbolic of his disrespect for our entire country. He bulldozes his way through everything. The GOP allow this, and call us the enemy?

House Republicans just adjourned another pro forma session.

This marks the EIGHTH time they’ve refused to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva, who would be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

Do your job, Speaker Johnson.

Dems need to pull this off.

I am not kidding that if my ACA premium skyrockets the way some already have around the country, it will become a choice between housing and healthcare for our family.

Look at it.

This is what this administration is doing. Grandfathers, mothers, fathers, sons.

It's evil. It's vile.
A Black man with a beard with a terrified expression is led away by ICE officers. An older brown man with glasses is led away by ICE officers with his hands in the air. An older brown, bald man with glasses is restrained by ICE officers A Black man in a green hoodies and red cap is led away by masked ICE officers as a tear rolls down his cheek.
