It’s not *going* to happen. It’s already happening: The mainstream media is becoming right-wing. trib.al/7imoDs5

Everyone, but especially liberals (and those of the multimillionaire and billionaire variety), needs to pay close attention to this phenomenon.

Felon47 and regime are “Proudly violent and corrupted,” so we must vote BLUE tomorrow!

Let’s support Prop 50 to help ensure Democrats have a better chance of being dominant in the House.

Can we start the repairs by omitting the S in a not so supreme COTUS?

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28.

If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.

“Everything’s rising except for wages." Housing costs are up, unemployment is up, “and the cost of food right now is unprecedented."

The shutdown could continue for weeks or months—all while food costs continue to rise. People were already struggling, and now they may go hungry too. trib.al/uBrvb9w

This SNAP Shutoff Comes at the Worst Possible Time

As food prices soar and kids are home for the holidays, families will have more mouths to feed and less money to do it.

When I read the full transcript of the interview, I realized there had been no pushback, no corrections, no challenging follow-ups. The entire interview had been an open-ended opportunity for Trump to tell rambling lies, only to have them cleaned up into a more polished product.

We cannot make the same mistake. We cannot let them redistrict our maps to tip the scale in their favor.

We have one shot to stop Trumps rigging the elections. This will affect all of us.

We all stand together 👊🏼💙
We all stand with you! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

While Donald Trump and his GOP allies in Congress turn their backs on Californians in need, California is mobilizing to have their backs.

Please join me in sending one message to the Dems:

DO. NOOTTTTTTT. FUCKING. CAVE!!!!

Don’t you fucking do it!!

If they want government open, THEY have to bend and come to us, and not with some bullshit deal that lasts just until they get reelected.

We have already suffered. DO NOT make it

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

Why don't the reporters follow up? Like if he says he doesn't know, ask him how that's remotely possible. He has all the resources needed to be kept up to date, so obviously he's lying. Just push back. Please!

According to new NBC and ABC/Ipsos polls, Trump's approval ratings — especially on the economy and cost of living — are now in the negative double digits.

Remember: Trump is a failing president.

He is not all powerful.

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?

great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People

“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”
