Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

I wonder if any of them realize that sculptor Anish Kapoor is an immigrant as well.
Astonishing: Bovino and his agents showed up at the Bean this morning to pose for pictures. While Border Patrol snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’” The neighborhood where they are least welcome and most acutely felt. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...
Border Patrol Agents Pose At 'The Bean' For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, Little Village!"

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.

Folks, a single individual in California receiving CalFresh aka SNAP benefits max is $292/month. If that person earns over $1,632/month,they lose their benefits.
Republicans are voting to reduce that benefit so billionaires & multi-millionaires can get a huge tax cut.
It’s egregious.

Democrats just bought voters an extra 12-15 hours to call their GOP senators and tell them that if they vote on this bill they WILL be held accountable.
That's what SHOULD happen.
But voters will instead blame Schumer for being in the minority and refuse to do anything to help themselves.

House Republicans smuggled this👇attack on the federal judiciary into their reconciliation bill. Courts rarely require plaintiffs to post security, so this provision, if passed into law, would render a vast number of existing judgments—including Boasberg's contempt order—effectively unenforceable.
