Maybe all married women who changed their name, due to tradition, need to do a class action lawsuit to preserve our right to vote. We showed our birth certificate & marriage certificate to the state & to Social Security. Not my fault that they don't remember that I did it 54 years ago. I do.

Long live the meritocracy. She made the mistake of playing at a course not owned by her grandfather. When he plays at one of his courses he always wins including club championships in which he misses one of two days. In fact the only person in the world who may be a better golfer is Kim Jong Un.

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

Nuclear testing isn’t something you greenlight in a post, but turning national security into a fear show is how authoritarians rule.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

While hundreds of thousands of furloughed workers are going without pay, food stamps, formally known as SNAP, are set to run out on Saturday.

Normally, the federal government would use contingency money to keep SNAP going, but the Trump administration said it had no intention of doing so.

The shutdown is pushing federal workers to food banks—just as SNAP is set to expire

"There's absolutely more need, but less food. It's bad."

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people.

California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Another Skeeter laid it out to me. These Corps and Banksters associated with Epstein donated billions to all kinds of Congressional campaigns for decades. Epstein also ran a non profit. I think our House is safe-ish but those Senators…I think it’s going to touch a lot of people if they get the 218.

Good point! I keep forgetting a lot of this GOP complicity may not just be fear of Trump, but fear of consequences for their own actions, Independent of Trump.

Moses Mike Johnson is literally willing to starve families to death to protect pedophiles (including DJT) in the Epstein files.

For the last several months, federal workers have been through hell. Things have only gotten worse during the shutdown.

When I left the Department of Labor, I shared some parting words with the civil servants who worked alongside me.

These words of gratitude feel especially relevant today.
