BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.

She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

Our dem leaders, they voted to re-open because there was too much suffering. They care. But now, GOP know that they can screw people harshly, and get away with it.

What is the plan overall? We have to think broader. How do you negotiate with greedy psychos that don't care if ppl are hungry?

Make our voices heard. Thank you to everyone participating.
From November 20 - 22, everyday citizens, movement leaders, veterans, musicians, comedians, pastors, and farmers will peacefully descend on the seat of power in Washington, DC to demand unmistakably that this lawless administration come to an end.

Tucked into a spending bill that is part of the deal to end the government shutdown is a provision that would allow GOP senators to personally sue the federal government for as much as $500K over Special Counsel Jack Smith’s lawful search of their phone records.

Great job @democrats.senate.gov.

We know GOP are cruel greedy psychos who don’t care.

We also expect you to be smarter and play your hands better. You have the entire country behind you.

You deserve all the anger and recriminations.

What’s the plan in January huh??!?
"Right now, there’s nothing in there saying that Trump has to spend the money in this continuing resolution. He can keep withholding funds, and even rescind them with a party-line vote. None of the problems that inspired the shutdown are resolved." prospect.org/2025/11/10/m...
The Most Frustrating Thing About the Shutdown Cave - The American Prospect
Senate Democrats actually know how to use their power to counter Donald Trump and ensure that legislative funding gets spent—but this continuing resolution makes it clear they chose not to.

"Ceisler hopes officials in other parts of the country are watching. “It sends a message to elected public safety leaders across the country that partnering with ICE is a loser in any district that’s remotely a swing district,” he said."

More great reporting from @burness.bsky.social
NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.

So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.

Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

A populous, swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

Consistent with a court order, Wisconsin legally loaded FoodShare payments to cards. Now, the Trump Administration has spent the last 48 hours making a last-ditch effort to yank those payments from nearly 700,000 Wisconsinites, including 270,000 kids. It's pathetic.

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments.

The long story is that GOP thinks they can pressure members to avoid shedding daylight on #EpsteinFiles.

Let's help stop that from happening. It's hard to overstate how important this race is y'all.

WASHINGTON NEEDS A SHAKE-UP

The same career politicians who caused the shutdown are now playing games with your health care. Eight Senate Democrats just cut a deal—but Speaker Johnson still refuses to hold a vote to protect ACA subsidies. Tennessee can change that on Dec. 2.

@shaheen.senate.gov's daughter @stefanyshaheen.com is running for Congress. She called out the Senate deal without calling out her mother's role. That's not courage.

Sen Shaheen's daughter has Type 1 diabetes, a pre-existing condition, but has no problem taking ACA from others with the same issue.

Let's all continue to call our dem Senators!!!
There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

*If all goes by the regular schedule

Our wallets are our voice, since GOP only listens to $$$$.
Well if Senate Dems won’t shut this regime down, we will! Don’t buy from Target, Home Depot, or Amazon from Black Friday through Cyber Monday. Let’s inflict some pain on those capitulating to Trump.

He does not have power to pardon state and local convictions. And anyone reporting this like it’s a done deal is contributing to him not being held accountable.

Pardon power limitations apply to dotard. CNN has given up but we can’t.

BREAKING:

Trump has just issued pardons to dozens of conservatives who tried to overturn the 2020 election results, including: Mark Meadows, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Boris Epshteyn, and more — per pardon attorney Ed Martin.
