Donald Trump passed the largest cut to Medicaid in our country's history and let the health insurance premium tax credits expire. If Republicans won’t extend the tax credits, I’ll do it on the state level. Minnesotans need lower health care costs and they need them now.
Pentagon holds crisis meeting on weapons shortfall after angry Trump call, sources say The president asked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth about a shortfall in munitions at a recent Camp David meeting, and sources say Hegseth pointed to Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg.
Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

Truly evil to see MAGA lunatics and white supremacists issuing death threats to the mother of Nolan Wells in an effort to silence her and stop her from finding out why her 18 year old son is dead.
$1.4B to deploy the National Guard into cities? On top of: -$1.5T for the Pentagon -$240B for ICE and CBP -$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet -$300M for Trump's ballroom -$100M for Trump's golf outings But nothing for working people.

Oregon legislators go from saying "maybe we shouldn't give data centers big tax breaks?" to "BAN THE SUCKERS FOR THREE YEARS". "The ground's really shifted.” Indeed. WOOOHOOOOO!
Democratic lawmakers propose three-year moratorium on new large data centers in Oregon • Washington State Standard
Oregon would join 15 other states that have proposed data center pauses in the last year.

Republicans set their health care grenade to go off after the election. Don’t be fooled.
At least they learned SOMETHING from Mamdani.
Leah McElrath@leahmcelrath.bsky.social · 13h ago⚠️ Democrats in array: Schumer, Gillibrand, and Whitmer coalesce behind El-Sayed
This is how it should be done. All Democrats, progressive and centrist, need to band together to get Democrats in and MAGA out. 
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 13h agoA gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
This is who the Repub led Senate wants to confirm as the US AG in the next couple days. It’s not about following laws—it’s about controlling women and girls with no regard to health outcomes. WE ARE NOT OUTRAGED ENOUGH! We need to flip 4 Senate seats. Please help get out the VOTE in NOV!
The fact that the Democratic senators are agreeing to a continuing resolution until Dec 11th with NO compromises for them is absolute political malpractice and head scratching. Why not even try to ban like…. The arch? Anything!
It's worth noting that the four GOP Senators who self-proclaim "centrism" seem to rotate their chances to vote against Trump, without ever actually stopping anything or gaining anything "centrist." It's not even theatre - it's not that good - it's a D-rate sitcom of fascism.
D. Earl Stephens@dearlstephens.bsky.social · yesterday📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.
It’s time to “let the rubber meet the road” and confront all Politicians that are not doing their job, for the People. If you see them in public, question them about your issues and find out their solutions to the problem. These Politicians are being paid by taxpayers money.
Who does the economy actually work for? Workers can't afford rent, groceries, or healthcare. But Elon Musk added $864 billion to his fortune in a year. Billionaires gained $1 trillion in six months. Same country. Same economy. Different reality.
“he was confronted by Trump over the bare weapons stockpile, Hegseth defended himself & blamed his deputy, Stephen Feinberg, for the shortages & for not ensuring Trump was fully apprised of the issue” Throwing underlinings under the bus for your own incompetence will go over well in the military.🙄

Trump used strong arm tactics to take government ownership in 30 big companies and counting but don’t pay attention to that or wars or the corrupt ways they are enriching themselves at your expense because Mike Johnson says Jesus loves Republicans and Democrats are communists.
Trump Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins just called his SNAP cuts a "pretty big win". Throwing 5 million struggling Americans — including families with children — off food aid to fund tax cuts for the rich isn't a "win". It's a national disgrace.

We’ve depleted our missiles. Trump was unaware. Hegseth thought his deputy told Trump. It’s partly why Trump had to call of his escalation against Iran. Other than that, everything’s fine: wapo.st/4hQVTF0
