He has not comprehended the election results, or he's planning on so undermining fair midterms that he doesn't care.

And yet, because he's incapable of not lying, Trump is spinning the economy as wonderful.

Thank you Speaker Pelosi, for passing the baton.

@schumer.senate.gov, please take note.

Half the USA and much of the world have foresaken the Tesla brand. That *MUST* continue so that Musk never achieves the target goals.

Bare minimum, when Dems take power back they need to cut off all subsidies to Elon Musk’s businesses and aggressively pursue them for workplace safety violations.

Ideally, nationalize his companies.

Musk gets his $1 trillion compensation package approved by Tesla shareholders.

Shareholders in the room chant "Elon, Elon, Elon!"

Boycott FIFA, boycott the World Cup. There is no reason other than brown nosing for this absurd gesture.

Because providing the needy with food goes against every fiber in Trump's bloated, overfed body.

Unfortunately, Trump will try to or actually ignore the order, or find a way to pretend he's complying whilst delaying and subverting the Court order(s).

He is a sociopath with zero empathy and no conscience.

I may not be wildly enthusiatic about Gov Hochul but compared to Elise Stefanik, a Trump MAGA fan, Hochul walks on water.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

My fear is not so much that they'll try to steal the election, though they might, but that we may not even get to the midterms. And the voter suppression and gerrymandering is going to be tough to overcome.

Trump Officials to Cut Air Traffic in 40 Major Markets if Shutdown Continues in effort to pressure Democrats.

Gee, you'd think after yesterday's election results, the Trump clan would realize the country is blaming them and the GOP.

Turn Up the Volume!

It is hugely disappointing that the head of FIFA, representing the range of countries across the world, has chosen to ally himself with a putative dictator.

Would it be wrong to speculate about a boycott of FIFA?

I am still greatly bothered that people complain about Social Democrats as socialism because they want to help people, yet the same people are mum when the government bails out corporations and, now, takes stakes in them. Socialism for corporate America is okay but people it's not?!?!?!

Not much to explore. He spoke to them and speaks for them. I'm in my 70's and I desperately want fresh new voices in leadership positions in the Democratic Party.

We Boomers made a right mess of the world.

As a result of the Republican shut down, led by Trump, millions of Americans have entered food insecurity, many having to skip meals.

My question: could any of the Republicans, especially Trump, skip even one meal?

Election Day 2025 was a very good day for the anti-MAGA populace. Let's not lose momentum because you can bet Trump and his cronies will do all they can to undermine the midterms. Let's continue to:
