there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

It’s the same old same old. Republicans do a tantrum and break the dishes. The Democrats clean it up. It’s an abusive relationship.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

In a functioning democracy, a state should not have to sue for a duly elected official to be seated.
The House should refuse to move forward until Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva is sworn in. Any Republicans against it should be seen as enemies of the republic.

Did they not hear our furious voices today?
We will hold them accountable for American deaths and suffering.

I refuse to let Chuck Schumer and the 8 spineless, self-serving democrat traitors ruin my high from the #NoKings march and the democratic sweep in the recent election.
It only reinforces my belief that it’s on us. WE are the leaders we’ve been looking for.
Double down.
Speak up, march, vote.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Have you ever cleaned your kitchen until everything is sparkling and then you notice a weird funky stench coming from somewhere? You search and search and finally find it. You missed cleaning the bottom of the trash can. Tuesday we cleaned the kitchen. Last night we found the stench. Keep cleaning!

Today in history, 1898: After voters elect a biracial city council in Wilmington, N.C., a mob of white supremacists overthrows the local government in a coup d’état. The mob also killed as many as 300 black residents in what is known as the Wilmington Massacre. /1

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Yup. I said this earlier today, but it was only a guess. Thanks for confirming it. It is no coincidence that of the 8 who came forward to do this, none of them are running in 2026. But they ran cover for some who are.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
