Whole bunch of stuff beginning to make a lot of sense.

Such a perfect graphic...I hope this'll be the base of a lot of protest signs.....Well Done, Whomever.....

This is such a good contextual window in which to embrace the Epstein Files.... Do we want the closest thing to the truth?
Or, do we just want to get lost in the soup of charge/counter-charge, until we're all lost?

I personally, a Democrat my entire life, feel no need to protect any Dem legends.
(🧵) This thread from a retired journalism professor who helped usher in the era of metajournalism in the 2010s—and has written a book on the relationship between Trump and Epstein as part of his NYT-bestselling Proof Series—explains how to report properly on the Trump-Epstein Scandal.

Here we go.

Louisiana got 65% with notice full benefits for November will arrive before Thanksgiving and some unclear mention of an extra 25% because of the shutdown. I thought Mississippi paid out too.

Among the many worst things that this represents, the "worst of the worst" is that these are being run as for profit businesses.
Even Germany didn't go this far in dehumanizing profits.
It is obscene, and we, our country is engaging in this immoral behavior.
We started Indivisible in 2016 because a future Trump appointee was talking about the WWII Japanese internment camps as a model for immigrants at the same time that Schumer was talking about finding common ground with Trump.
This concentration camp was opened at Fort Bliss, the site of a former Japanese internment camp.

It also cost over $1B in private contracts to build in a place meant to hold 1000 people. So, basically it’s a fascist grift.

This ⬇️ is how community works. I am surprised & amazed at the goodness & intelligence of people.
Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

I like whoever this is: she speaks for me....
Chuck Schumer and ANYONE who supports him need to be ousted from the party. The same way they wrongly treated David Hogg should be the way that Schumer is treated now.
What was the damn point of the shutdown? People missed paychecks, families went without SNAP, and Democrats walked away with nothing.

This isn’t about moderates versus the far left. It’s about who’s actually fighting for people who are struggling.

She nails where so many of us are right now.

So: essentially this is the Republican Plan; the one we've all been waiting for those endless two weeks for.

The entire Republican Party is a fraudulent operation. They are really a stealth collection agency for the fortunes of the 1%.

Isn't this snow obvious?

Something is going on over there this morning.

¡¡ YES !! This is the 'cuntiest' Douthat column of his dubious career.
I write my columns sitting in a New Haven café, eating waffles and lattés served by comely young immmigrant waitresses. Here’s how women ruined my workplace.

Don't you think that is pretty much what they want, sort of barely functioning quasi-literate states, where favors, bribes, and retribution are the coin of their realm?
IOW, Red States.

In my experience:
The only time that Trump advocates for anything that sounds half way decent, it will turn out that it was just a convenient loophole for him, a left-ish program to outflank & confuse critics & low info voters. He has never actually done anything useful or progressive IN HIS LIFE!
What ever happened to the MedBeds he promised?
Hey kids the Trump Healthcare
Plan just dropped!

SO VERY WELL SAID.
Powerful words here from Gov Josh Shapiro…..
Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

He's flailing now; just spewing nonsense quickly batted down by everyone that isn't on the Republican payroll or take.

Sean, Think for just a moment; whose fault would that chaos be? Why, yours and your leader into the quagmire of Neo-bootlicking politics.

Yes, IMBY....and here's an overall plan to begin with: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This seems so obvious to me....It will be a good means of separating the right-center dems from the true coalition: of ALL democrats who actually want to make government responsive for ALL of the people.
Word on the Hill: Gary Peters, Jeanne Shaheen, and other centrist Democrats want to end the shutdown. Every poll shows Republicans are losing this fight. Secure the ACA subsidies. We do not capitulate to a fascist tyrant and especially not when we’re winning you morons. Blow up their fucking phones.
