Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people.

California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

Mike Johnson still won’t swear in Adelita Grijalva. This is an outrageous act of partisan politics and proof he’s incapable of serving as Speaker. Call the GOP.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

PLEASE read this one. Kinda required reading. If you agree, which I hope you do, print in color and magnetically attach to your refrigerator. It is marvelous and very clear to all who visit: this is what we stand for. PERIOD.

Cool we can fund SNAP, pay air traffic controllers, ACA subsidies, all kinds of stuff. Right when we really need it. When do we get the cash?

I've wanted to see more of this for a long time. And I'd love to know if there is any longitudinal data that could tell us whether the public has become less informed over the years.
I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

"Talking" about health care later isn't going to do anything for people whose premiums are doubling or even quadrupling.

Prices are getting locked in. "Talking" about this LATER is TOO LATE.

This indictment of @katmabu.bsky.social and five other protesters is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read (this week), and I imagine it will be laughed out of (lower) court. They’re being charged with the conspiracy of slowing down an ICE vehicle. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

New in PN: 1984, Idiocracy version

"Despite Trump’s desperate efforts to hypnotize people into believing his tariff bowel movements smell like sunshine and roses, a large majority of Americans are not enjoying the bouquet of rising prices when they go to the grocery store."

I don’t think that’s a ballroom. I don’t know what it is. But they are building it on top of the presidential bunker, also know as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center. You know, for beleaguered presidents to operate in secret while under threat from forces trying to unseat them. Ahem.

Wow! It’s not even close. Food banks can’t keep up with the need…

Question: “How long is this sustainable.”

Food bank director: “It’s not… for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

Speaker Mike Johnson is perpetually trying to deceive people. He uses his milquetoast speech and persona to mask his determination to ruthlessly cause harm. He wears his “Christianity” on his sleeve as a decoy from his evil intentions. He is not a good person, he just tries to play one on TV.
