Holiday sales make up 20% of corporate profits. From now through Cyber Monday, we’re taking a 5% bite back by boycotting Target, Home Depot, and Amazon for unsafe working conditions, cutting DEI, and letting ICE target our neighbors. Join us in saying #WeAintBuyingIt!

Next time a Republican whines when they get called a fascist, just remind them that Trump says he doesn't mind the label!
Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
MAMDANI: I've spoken about--
TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

NEW: Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky has conceded. A stunning defeat for a MAGA media fixture who built a national profile on claims of a "complete gang takeover" of Aurora that led President Trump to visit and falsely proclaim the city "conquered" by an immigrant gang

This is a big deal for PA-1 where Fitzpatrick should now be nervous.
Bucks County ousts ALL Republicans from the Central Bucks and Pennridge school boards after both school boards were ground zero for anti-trans policies in 2021.
The wave is receding.

My hot take: Try. Care. Show up. Fight. It’s not ideological or even generational. It’s about making people feel heard and doing something to actually help them. It’s about lived experience and running different candidates (Moms! Muslims!) not insiders. That’s the lesson.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

Dick Cheney did a brave and patriotic thing last year in endorsing Kamala Harris. The rest of his public and private career was a dumpster fire.

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat.
But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.
