$172 million so Noem can have two private jets.
$200 million to build Trump a ballroom.
$40 billion to bail out Argentina—for a MAGA billionaire.

But no bailout for soybean farmers crushed by tariffs.
No support for families drowning in grocery prices.
No help for anyone who can’t find a job.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

lol this is actually so crazy
Laura Ingraham regularly claimed the business dealings of Hunter Biden in the years prior to his father’s presidential election implicated Joe Biden in rampant corruption.

Now she's gone into business with Don Jr. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...
Truly stunning! The timing really was perfect.

Stopped by the No Kings Rally in Montpelier 🚫👑 — love to see the turnout and standing up against this corrupt Trump admin! 👏👏👏

This is American patriotism from people who deeply love their country and demand better from its leaders. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I’ve had lunches with worse views — a sandwich w/ a view along Lake Champlain 😍🍁🍂

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!
Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)
Love calling out this garbage behavior and coming with the receipts 🔥🔥🔥
Can’t deny — the dude has the juice. 👏👏👏
We believe that in the wealthiest city in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, working people deserve a dignified life.

And to the billionaires who think this movement is an existential threat to their corruption of our democracy: you're right.
I dunno, John -- maybe YOU shouldn't have voted to confirmed crackpot RFK in the Senate. 😐
Thune: "If I were a woman I'd be talking to my doctor and not taking advice from RFK"
1000% -- and Dems up and down the ballot should be taking note of his tactics and way he's showing up authentically.

To note, he's also showing up and amplifying a simple message (and no, it's not "healthcare -- it's the larger, more applicable topic of ✨AFFORDABILITY✨)
Zohran is a truly incredible political talent
Vermont morning fall vibes — hard to resist when a friend says you should come up and visit during peak fall colors 😍🍂🍁

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

Another reason why coal sucks -- it's super polluting and awful for coal workers and miners.

But asking Trump to save you? The man doesn't give a shit about people like you. Nothing like voting against your own economic and health interests.

For the record, I blame this 1000% on the press in this country.

This number should be so, so much higher.
"Is Trump too old to be president?"

Yes: 45%
No: 45%

Portland -- you're certainly rising to the occasion on all this.

Hard for these fascists to look tough and serious with y'all being -- well -- your granola crunchy selves. 😂

Kudos, Portlanders. 👏👏👏

What can we do about mainstream media moving right? 1. Give up on some outlets (CBS) and embrace others (The Guardian) 2. Get alternative media to cover more hard news 3. Browbeat outlets into using their agenda-setting and framing powers better. newrepublic.com/article/2016...
The Mainstream Media Is Moving Right. Here’s What We Can Do About It.
At The Washington Post, CBS, and maybe CNN, the trend line is terrible. But liberals do have the power to reverse these trends.

- Have you looked into your local candidates and/or ballot initiatives? Be an intentional voter!
I kinda don't disagree. Needle 'em, Dems. 🔥🔥🔥
Every single Democrat in Congress should’ve already had a post up by now about the Trump admin approving a Qatari air base inside the US.
