Trump just ended a rule limiting a type of pollution that causes heart and lung disease.

The rule was expected to save thousands of American lives every year.

A reminder of what Russia is doing to Ukraine.

In #Bucha alone, they killed over 400 people...innocent civilians, zip-tying them and shooting them at point blank range, or burning them.

Many of the women were raped.

Putin ordered it--Don't ever forget.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Maybe now @msnowreports.bsky.social can update their website once in awhile without having a picture of trump as the main feature. Surely there is some other news in the world and in politics.

Surely someone else is worthy once in awhile.

So between the auroras a couple days ago and some forest bathing this morning, I think the universe is telling me to widen the aperture.

Humans can't ruin everything. No matter how hard they try.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi

It is easy for Senate Democrats to disabuse us of that assumption — they just have to publicly make the popular call for new leadership.

Attention, Robin Kelly, I can't email you on your Senate campaign page (or your rep page because I am in #IL but not in your district).

Do you support Chuck Schumer? My vote for you to replace Durbin depends on that answer.

If you live in #IL, you need to ask @congressmanraja.bsky.social whether or not he supports Schumer.

Krishnamoorthi is running for Senate to replace Durbin.

Let him know your vote depends on him moving away from Schumer.

People are very aware of how the Senate “works,” and that’s exactly why they are so angry
Durbin said critics of his vote “need to understand how the Senate works”

Why would @durbin.senate.gov negate his entire career by being a flunky sellout on his way out the door

Maybe healthcare was important until it risked his airline flights.

He failed his constituents

See, I think right now is where the rubber meets the road. When you take a stand you need to take a stand.

If you have ever raised a kid you know that you cannot give in when it's inconvenient and the stakes are high.

Otherwise you teach them to do it again. And again And again.

I get it. You are pissed but hear me out. This is why Democrats are reopening the government.
November 9, 2025 at 11:48 PM
Hey @schumer.senate.gov

Do you have the guts to come out in public and ask the people, especially #Democrats if you should #CAVE and give up on #ObamacareSubsidies?

I dare you. The answer is a resounding NO.

Maybe then you will hear us.

Rick Scott is right, government funding for health insurance is such a scam.

#SNAP is first, #SocialSecurity is next.

The employees there can no longer afford to live without pay.
While the guy in charge doesn't have human emotions.

His reaction to a medical emergency at the Whitehouse the other day. Inhuman.

Just once I'd like to just go to bed without some horrible sadistic breaking news.

They can't handle anything for months, but when it comes to deciding whether Americans can eat, they turn it around in minutes. I hate #SCOTUS

Whatever else they're doing, they are totally immoral.

CHICAGO: “My uncle was on his way home from getting groceries on his bike — they grabbed him and choked him and punched him… he’s a kind hardworking man. They’re racially profiling people.”

Trump’s ICE goons put an elderly man in the hospital and nearly choked him to death.

Yeah that @msnbc.com election music is really triggering.

I feel traumatized every time I hear it.

Maybe they could rethink playing that constantly.
