🎯🎯Must read piece on how John Roberts created the conditions for Trump’s rise and has enabled his criminality at every turn by @pemalevy.bsky.social and @ariberman.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
This is all John Roberts’ fault
Trump owes his corrupt and abusive reign to one man.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

The House takes 2 months off & finally reports back to work & promptly spends the next week filing censure motions against each other & attending black tie dinners w/Saudis while the clock counts down for 24 million people to have their health insurance premiums spike in 42 days.

Astonishing to stop and realize that, at any given moment, bands of masked men armed to the teeth are storming churches and daycares, terrorizing entire communities—and that most of the country's political establishment barely blinks.

Why did not a single male reporter who were standing next to the president and the female reporter he called "piggy" say a word to the president about this and call him out then and there? Those who keep quiet in these moments are part of the problem.

I’m traveling today, so in a brief piece I address two questions I’ve seen a lot in the past 24 hours: 1) What if Trump blocks the files from being released by claiming there’s a new federal investigation of Democrats, & 2) Couldn’t they just tamper with the evidence and erase his name? Link below.

My legal team will be in federal court in North Carolina today fighting against the state's unconstitutional redrawn congressional map. Before you listen to those in the GOP who say we can't win, ask Texas how that worked out for them.

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

While Trump’s goons are desperately trying to criminalize protests, there are ways to protest that don’t involve leaving your house.

Trump can’t make you shop.

Boycott Black Friday thru Cyber Monday.

Don’t buy a damn thing besides necessities.

Respectfully, it’s not about priorities, it’s about cruelty and selfishness.
Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

"Democratic candidate to the Texas House of representatives, Sara McGee, has made a shocking claim that President Donald Trump's administration will now say they can't release the Jeffrey Epstein files because they are part of an ‘active investigation’."
Can Trump block Epstein files release? Texas Democrat candidate makes shocking claim as POTUS urges DOJ probe
President Donald Trump said he'd ask AG Pam Bondi, the DOJ and the FBI to investigate Epstein’s “involvement and relationship” with Bill Clinton and others.

“Weaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an “ongoing investigation”

It’s not enough to simply thank our veterans for their service.

Millions of them rely on SNAP and the ACA.

Many struggle with PTSD and worry about access to mental health services.

Today, on Veterans Day, let’s renew our commitment to keep fighting for those who fought for us.
