NO ONE should vote to confirm Trump’s pick for FDA Commissioner. Heidi Overton is not qualified to run the agency, and she is an anti-science, anti-abortion extremist. She should NOT be in charge of keeping our food and medicine safe.

It’s been two years of rich people going full Roman emperor — unleashed, unapologetic and, often, punching down.

Too many folks don't seem to know the SHIT Republicans left in the BBB bill for Democrats in January and the rest of the year. Republican plans for 2028 are just as bad. There's a reason why Democrats are so focused on getting to WORK. Y'all need to PAY ATTENTION.
Did you know that Louisiana has 2 runoff elections for U.S. House coming in December? Pat Moore and Chauna Banks will aim to win the state's 5th and 6th Congressional Districts, respectively. #USDemocracy #MomSky #Louisiana #LA5 #LA6 #LA05 #LA06
Massie: "I hope Hegseth addresses the 8 articles of impeachment, and doesn‘t get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and call everybody fat and gay. I may have just given you half his speech, I don't know."
If the system is rigged, and you win anyway, that is your one and only chance to unrig it.
🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Rep. Pat Ryan just revealed that Pete Hegseth ordered military members to an area in Kuwait with an ACTIVE WARNING they had ZERO defense against drone attacks and he IGNORED IT. Six were then KILLED. Survivors blame Hegseth. Listen to Kegsbreath try to con his way out of it! 😡🤬
When Democrats take the gavels in January, one of our very first votes will be to reverse those cuts and restore the ACA tax credits that kept premiums down.
This bill is a Trojan Horse. I urge my Senate colleagues to vote NO. We cannot greenlight transmission at any cost, including undermining tribal sovereignty, protections for sacred sites, public lands, clean water, wildlife, and the environment for generations to come.
Still astounding to me that the media by and large accepted the narrative that Trump's narrow win represented such a huge paradigm shift that they treated these pardons as such an inevitability they weren't worth fussing over.
Schooley@schooley.bsky.social · 2d agoNo matter what Democrats do to hold the administration to account, it will never be as absurd as Trump pardoning all of the J6 convicted criminals on his first day without judicial review. Keep that in mind if Dems are accused of moving too fast on some correction.
Clearly the New York Times has no desire to go to a Black church in Mississippi to talk to some elder Black voters. They’ll get a very different history and perspective on rural life in the South. The fact that they don’t do it is deliberate. So we’ll get (yet) more of this. I’m beyond tired…
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 3d agoIn deep-red Texas, conservatives are trying to make sense of what just happened to their longtime Republican stronghold. We visited a men’s bible study as they gathered for the first time since the state flipped in the midterm election.
This new paper on the harms caused by the first year of the Trump administration to the health of people in the US is a Herculean effort by @mirandayaver.bsky.social and colleagues. I’m not a political scientist, so I learned an incredible amount from this work, and none of it was pleasing.

An underdiscussed (imo) aspect of this election cycle is the extent to which media consolidation and domination by conservatives resulted in huge blind spots that ultimately prevented them from recognizing the widespread anger and dissatisfaction directed at Republicans.
Although Republican gerrymandering was not successful in this election, I still think we should do away with it and the Electoral College, which is outdated.

Elsewhere, David Ellison spent like $50 billion of his dad's money to turn WB-Paramount into the world's biggest lean-R media conglomerate and now the whole country lurched D *and* his dad's money is all tied up in AI companies and data centers that are under threat from angry voters and Dem AGs.
Keep that in mind and inform your friends and relatives about that. It’s not the democrats’ fault if social rights are cut.
