Dear Senators Shaheen, Hassan and King: While I disagree with the deal you negotiated, I respect you.
But GOP Senators do not respect you. They spat in your faces by secretly including a corrupt provision to pay 8 GOP Senators.
I request that you reverse this provision in Jan.

This allows Trump (via DOJ) to use taxpayer money to bribe eight GOP Senators. It's that simple, there's no other way to describe it.
And where's the compensation for people injured by the Trump admin's unlawful conduct through DHS & DOGE?
Take a bow, @schumer.senate.gov, you did this.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

Trump’s not just stealing seats — he’s stealing your paycheck.
Healthcare costs +75%? That’s not inflation — that’s theft!
Prop 50 is the only legal tool to stop him before he bankrupts your family. #Prop50VoteYes

Things they used to teach in school. What are high value foods for survival? How to grow a small garden. How to store root vegetables. How to survive a government that fed the rich while, well, you know the story. You've read the books, seen the movies, and believed we had evolved beyond surviving.

It is a visual representation of the touch of Trump. Everything he touches dies.
This is insane.
“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom
The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

It blows my mind he was just allowed to bulldoze the White House like that! Or pave over the Rose Garden, for that matter.

“Focus on the real issues,” Vance said during the show. “Don’t focus on what kids say in group chats.”
Notice how its "young women" not children being raped, but it's also "kids" not young men being racists who think rape is funny.
And by the looks of this group, they are not young or kids.

Could someone point to differences in the Biden peace proposal both The First Felon and Netanyahu refused and the one they actually signed? I can't shake the feeling they simply pushed the destruction of Gaza until they knew the world had had enough. A lot of people died while rich men played RISK.

They have gone far enough now that this regime knows they will face trials and consequences. Opposition must be in numbers so large they begin to seek asylum and turn on one another. Put the fear of retribution in them and watch them drown each other while trying to get out of the boiling pot.

Remind every ICE agent and DHS agent that the very paycheck they are collecting—not for deporting the criminals they promised during the election, but people here trying to do it the right way—ties them to this regime forever. Good luck at the trials. That mask can't hide that SS# on the paycheck.🖕

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him.

Might it be that The First Felon used what he found out with his pal Jeff to blackmail his way into office. He never thought the leopard would eat his face. His split with his BF Jeff certainly wasn't over real estate. A guy like the felon can't run an op like Epstein did without running his mouth.

I know this feeling. My own son is a Rogan/Tech bros who voted against his lesbian parents because he was promised bitcoin would make him rich. We knew he was gone when he called Harris "stupid." He says he'll protect us & we are alarmist in the same breath. Protect us from? Yeah, it's that logic.
Told my mother her right-wing media was propaganda. She said "I know, but they tell me what I want to hear." I'm her gay son. It would hurt less if she were just ignorant. The cruelest part is she knows it's propaganda but that propaganda gives her more comfort than protecting her own son.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

I realize journalist must make a living. That said, when the information is behind a paywall, the people that need to hear it aren't buying it. Elites with disposable income are informed, sure, but the scraping-by folks that need the info are not. That's why the news should be free and independent.

People seem to forget Charlie Kirk needed me to oppose him. They all do. It's good for ratings to have a sixty-something, pro-choice, pro-women, pro-DEI, anti-racist, pro-trans, cat lady, lesbian call out their agenda. They wouldn't exist without someone to hate. Meanwhile, the rich get richer.
