I can’t believe JDVance told President Zelensky that he was being disrespectful to orange head & “ litigating the validity of the war in the Ukraine in front of the American people.” I cannot stand Vance what an embarrassment he is.

So Trump has $40 billion for Argentina but there’s no money for hungry Americans?

Recent developments in Virginia, New York & Illinois mark an escalation among Democrats after months of internal deliberations.

We all need to fight Trump's plan for voter suppression and election subversion. We need to recognize that it has multiple dimensions. We need to educate ourselves and our communities and then take action.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.
Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

CALIFORNIA: THE BIGGEST ECONOMY, THE BIGGEST TARGET.
The 4th largest economy in the world, bigger than the UK or India. Tech, film, food, energy — it drives the nation.
Trump hates that California proves progressive policies work. That diversity creates strength. That innovation beats grievance.

To be clear, they are planning to fire 500,000 workers. They are just firing people in clusters. I read this in Global Market News a few days ago. The firings start tomorrow with everyone being laid off before the holiday season.

This is absolutely horrifying! I’ve been to Jamaica several times, all over the island. I can’t stop thinking of all the amazing people I’ve met there and hope they can somehow get to a safe place. Hurricane Melissa is a true nightmare. 😢

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.
And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.
Did I get that right?

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.
It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

THIS is what courage looks like.Today, striking farmworkers bravely stood in front of cameras, the community, and the press, risking their jobs, safety, and future. To speak the truth. About the stolen wages. About the years of being unheard.
This is a movement. And today was a turning point.
