So don’t give up

The Trump-Vance admin’s rule politicizing the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program is a direct and unlawful attack on nurses, teachers, first responders, and public service workers.

So we’re suing.

Pundits say the problem is that Democrats fail to represent the people—but the real problem is that our political system fails to represent the people.

Larry Glickman @larryglickman.bsky.social · 6h

The Dems have won the popular vote in presidential elections six times since 1992 by roughly 5.5%(1992), 8.5%,(1996) .5%(2000), 7.3%(2008), 4%(2012), 2%(2016),and 4.5%(2020).
In that period the GOP presidential candidate has won the popular vote twice: 2.5%(2004) and 1.5%(2024).

Larry Glickman @larryglickman.bsky.social · 2d

Douthat writes that 2024, when Harris lost by 1.5% of the popular vote, was "an ideological referendum and progressivism lost." I wonder why he didn't view the 2020 election, when Trump lost by 4.5% of the popular vote, as a far more significant loss for conservatism.

The debate about how Democrats need to change so they can overcome the ways our political system fails to represent people is so tired and boring.

The real question is: how can we change the political system so that it better represents people across the spectrum and delivers what we want.

Let the record show: I do not accept the corrupt Trump regime.
Noel hits the crux.
"...if we want a realistic picture of what a clear and present danger is emerging, and the treachery POTUS is capable of, we must not just examine Trump’s years as president, but over the course of his lifetime."

“The first year of the second Trump admin has been even deadlier than 2020 … The rising fatalities this year are likely caused by several factors, including acute overcrowding, abysmal detention conditions, medical neglect, soaring mental distress, and even gun violence.”

The Trump administration has actually been deadlier for our immigrant neighbors than the COVID-19 pandemic, as the American Immigration Council noted last month: www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/blog/trump-d...

Trump’s disapproval ratings are at an all time high.

He’s polling worse than he was after trying to incite a violent insurrection.

People are not caving to his presidency of cruelty, corruption and intimidation.

That said, try to avoid any fishing trips today.

I find most interesting in the CNN poll is that Democrats are more enthusiastic to vote in the 2026 midterms than Republicans, 67% to 46%. That big enthusiasm gap is reflected in the early voting numbers for tomorrow's election www.cnn.com/2025/11/03/p...

As Donald Trump's shutdown delays SNAP benefits, California Volunteers and the California National Guard are on the ground to support food banks and families in need.

With expanded aid in San Diego, California is showing the rest of the nation what real leadership looks like.

At the direction of Governor Newsom, the California National Guard and California Volunteers have been deployed on a humanitarian mission to assist the San Diego Food Bank due to the federal government shutdown's interruption of SNAP food benefits.

I have been a reporter for close to 40 years, including stints covering police and the courts. This thing, from the president down, of accusing people of crimes when not charged: That did not used to be a thing. Authorities don’t do that because it is unfair and leads to cases being tossed.

TRUMP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU!!!

But six million of you hated the idea of a Black Woman being President so much that you stayed home in 2024.

And in doing so, gave us THIS.

Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · 19h

Trump is too busy playing MAGA Mad Libs instead of answering how to help Americans make ends meet.

These aren’t the words of a leader who actually cares.
