Old enough to be married with children & grandchildred. Young enough to be outraged at the evil regime. Determined to return our country to an equitable and respectful place for EVERYONE. 🚫 MAGA, Christian Facism, and anything remotely related.

Future employers will just assume when they see ‘Trump admin staffer’ on a resume that the person is an unqualified dipshit who was temporarily elevated beyond their natural station in life.

THIS is what a REAL President does on Veterans Day. The Day was all about those veterans, their service, and their sacrifice. Not the President who came to honor them.

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people.

Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.

We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

Given the Senate Democrat's complete abdication of their responsibilities (well, 8 least of them) last night, this makes that bitter pill just a bit easier to swallow.

What a bunch of bullshit — voting to reopen the government based on a ‘promise’ to talk about the ACA at a later date? Unbelievable. Does anyone really think we can trust Republicans to operate in good faith? They don’t care about us & you can’t trust a word they say. Infuriating and embarrassing.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?

He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

I plan to be around a lot longer. But as I approach the age of 70, I just hope I can live long enough to see this man sitting behind the Resolute Desk.
After voting to give billionaires tax breaks and making health care more expensive, Derrick Van Orden has refused to hold a town hall to talk to the voters he works for in a face-to-face conversation. So, I'm heading to Wisconsin to help give the people he's supposed to represent a voice.

How to summarize the results of tonight's elections? Easy...

Tonight, a sizeable hole opened in the dike. One year from now, the entire thing collapses unleashing a raging torrent of Blue.

Open enrollment for ACA healthcare plans has started, and enrollees are seeing what their premium costs will be next year.

Without subsidies, one couple will see their monthly costs increase from $495 to $2,168 — a 300% increase.

This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.

Remove him from office.

So in the last two weeks, we've lost Robert Redford and now Lassie's Mom (June Lockhart). There are probably hundreds of great Americans I'm omitting.

And yet we're still stuck with a senile, demented, vile 🍊💩 as POTUS. If there is any justice in the universe, I certainly don't see it.

Trump on July 31 when asked about the ballroom: “It won’t interfere with the current building. It will be near it but not touching it, and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of. It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

The brutality. The corruption. The lies.

Everything is on full display — and many Americans are beginning to learn an important lesson.

Watch.

And this doesn't contemplate all of Trump's appointees that did get approved and are incompetent, unethical, and stupid. Which would describe ALL of his current appointees.

This message goes out to all my friends and acquaintances who repeatedly told me Project 2025 was "fake news" and "leftist propoganda." So here it comes: I TOLD YOU SO!

That said, it's now time to move on and regain our country together.

By my count: Of the 15 Departments of the US Government, 13 launched new BlueSky accounts tonight (all but Justice and HUD), and all 13 have posted explicitly partisan political posts blaming Democrats and/or Chuck Schumer for the government shutdown.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."
