“But her emails” was just another confession disguised as an accusation, it’s so incredibly obvious now.

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.
A reminder: The perpetrators in the Epstein files are Oligarchs, and so are the ones protecting them.

Adelita Grijalva brought two Epstein survivors to her swearing in ceremony and Congress gave them a standing ovation.

She then immediately voted to discharge the Epstein petition.

She exuded grace and class and never stopped fighting for her right to govern.

She’s a badass.

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

THIS IS IMPORTANT TO SHARE
Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Service is the truest measure of patriotism. On Veterans Day, we honor all who have taken the oath and worn the uniform - and our nation recommits to keeping its promises to every veteran who served our country.

Excellent post except that Trump is running the US even worse than he ran his casinos
So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

🇺🇸 Happy Veterans Day to my fellow vets.

Never forget: The America-attacking, draft-dodging Trump is a traitor and an insult to all of us, and the country we defended.

Today is Veteran’s Day. We honor those that have served our country. 🇺🇸

Did you know: Veteran’s Day is on November 11th because it marks the armistice signed between the Allies of WW1 & Germany, which took effect at 11:00 am: the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918

I was at a friend's Celebration of Life in Richmond Virginia this weekend

Flight was delayed by almost 4 hours

It would have taken the same time to drive

Whatever. I'm thankful I could be there to honor this amazing human being: mother, bakery owner, friend

New in PN: Cue the rebellion

"The unfortunate conclusion to the shutdown is going to fuel a rebellion within the Democratic Party, one that has already begun but will only get stronger. And despite all the justified disgust now being expressed at Dems, in the long run it will be good for the party"
Cue the rebellion
The Democratic base is enraged at their party's capitulation — and that's a good thing.
