Friends, I was at the grocery store today when a lovely older man approached me with a bunch of carnations in his basket & handed me one. I smiled & thanked him. He said, don’t you want to know why? I said, yes please. It was his wife’s birthday. She had been gone “a while.” We proceeded to chat. 1/

Now @MarshaBlackburn is the only Tennessee senator who plans to enrich herself — it’s clear what kind of governor she’d be. #MarshasMoneyGrab

Are you telling me that we *already* have two "missing tape" stories *this week* when all of Watergate only had one?!
An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:
ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

Many in Trump’s administration now live on military bases, to shield themselves from the majority of Americans they are screwing over in favor of the oligarchs.
Many Republicans won’t do town halls.
They avoid the citizenry because they’ve stopped serving them.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

There is a compromise on the table to get this deal done and reopen the government while keeping health insurance premiums down. But the sole problem, plain and simple, is Mike Johnson.

Democrats and Independents, if you don’t show up for your candidate, you’re helping their opponent.
We don’t want Tuesday’s story to be, “They were polling far ahead but lost because their most enthusiastic voters didn’t get their ballots in.”
We’ve seen this play out before.
