President Bone Spurs, Draft Dodger Don, hates vets? Theres a shocker.
Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

As winter has started, New Yorkers are paying some of the highest electric bills in the country. Bills have gone up 33% in the last 10 years, with families bracing for even higher heating costs this winter.
We don’t have to accept this.

Electric bills have soared in NY. See how it compares to other states
NY had the 17th highest monthly electric bill during a recent three-month period. But the worst states had much higher average bills. See the trends.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

WATCH: @raskin.house.gov explains the deal that would allow eight GOP senators lucrative lawsuits over phone record subpoenas:
"It's certainly the most corrupt provision authorizing financial self-dealing and plunder of the public passed by Congress in this century."

Never forget: At breakneck speed we are leaving the stable Holocene climate in which human society developed and thrived. Weather extremes are outside historical experience. Sea-level rise is accelerating. Dangerous tipping points are ahead.

For purposes of those just trying to figure things out, I'll honor anyone who is a sincere Christian.
For purposes of those who tell me about a nation's mandate for a steadfast faith in god, and weaponizing the State Dept.
Fuck you.
Fuck your god.
Fuck off.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

I’m sorry, but this is a masterpiece.
My 3yo was listening to Ross Douthat's podcast when he turned to me, gravely, and asked: "Daddy, did liberal feminist women ruin the workplace?" And when I told him, "it's debatable, but they certainly don't seem to be reading Rod Dreher's Substack," he started crying.

This sweet guitar player, Joselyn Walsh, is one of the 6 brave protesters indicted in Chicago for protesting ICE, along with Kat Abughazaleh.
Here she is singing a song after the tear gas cleared. The next day, she was hit with a rubber ball & her guitar got a hole in it (see image below).

Hey Democrats, more of this please.
Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Inflation rose yet again in September. Mike Lawler and this administration have done nothing to bring prices down for families. And these reckless tariffs are only going to continue to drive up prices.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.
They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.
You have power.
Even sharing this video exerts that power.

Exactly, today is the best I’ve felt in a year. To be surrounded by thousands of good, patriotic, politically moral folks was really inspiring. Onward!
Their project depends on making us all feel alone, isolated and powerless. Taking part in a protest destroys all of those feelings in an instant. Go.
Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.
