Good morning.

Democrats have no obligation to vote for a budget that funds corruption and totalitarianism.

Trump is willing to do whatever it takes to destroy our democracy and pad the pockets of billionaires.

People don't want Democrats to wilt. They want us to fight.

Competitive primaries are good for parties. The strengths & weaknesses of Mills, Platner, and others will become clear through competition. It's ridiculous to claim, as Bernie Sanders has, that this will eat up resources. Democrats should have plenty of money & shouldn't be the anti-democracy party.

Maine Democrats are facing a choice for who will take on Susan Collins and that’s exactly how it should be. A competitive primary isn’t a distraction. It’s a crucible that tests candidates and shows who’s strongest. #mepolitics

A Maine Democratic Senate Primary Worth Having
A Mills vs. Platner primary will be a proving ground and give voters a real say in their effort to beat Susan Collins.

⚡️ Zelenskyy: “Putin can be forced into peace — like any other terrorist.”

He said the Middle East war is finally ending, proving peace is possible, while Russia’s war in Europe remains the world’s biggest source of instability.

The UN said on Sunday that “real progress” was being made in delivering aid to Gaza as the cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas paved the way for humanitarian agencies to scale up their operations in the territory.
‘Real Progress’ Is Made in Delivering Aid to Gaza, U.N. Says
The cease-fire agreement reached last week contained stipulations for an increase of aid into the territory, where it had been sharply curtailed.

Well done Hamas.
Lost more than half of Gaza's territory.
Gave Israel the justification for a genocidal war which killed tends if not 100s of thousands.
Do those who cheered them two years ago, still think they expanded the imaginary for possibilities of resistance and freedom?

Cartoon by @anntelnaes.bsky.social
10/11/25 editorial cartoon by artist Ann Telnaes depicting three figures with the letters "I", "C", and "E" on their uniforms, standing on the roof of a building. Beneath them on the pavement, the Statue of Liberty is shown on her knees, her torch and tablet on the ground, holding her wounded head. The image reflects an incident on 10/9 outside an ICE detention center in Broadview, Illinois, where ICE agents on the roof of the facility inexplicably opened fire with pepper ball rounds on Pastor David Black, striking Black in the head. Video of the assault shows Pastor Black, of the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago immediately falling to the ground; just before the attack, he was praying.

Great point from @mjtoma.bsky.social: Millions of us absolutely do see what's happening to the USA.

"We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends."

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

From the memory hole: There was a hostage release and ceasefire deal in place by the Biden administration 10 months ago. It was allowed to expire in March, under Donald Trump, and now it's been revived and rebranded, with Donald taking full credit like always.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

After 27 years and 1,500+ people managed, I can say this with pride: I’ve never cursed out or belittle anyone on my team.

Leadership isn’t about fear — it’s about respect.

If you’ve done it, it’s never too late to do better.
