We knew it, but seeing the data laid out – it's still shocking: higher taxes for most, deep cuts to Medicaid & SNAP—all to fund tax breaks for the top 1%.

It's difficult to fully grasp the scale of the con being perpetrated on Americans right now by the Trump administration.

Well well well

🚨 BREAKING: The Teamsters Union has launched the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history. 🚨

Amazon has forced this strike by refusing to follow the law and bargain with the thousands of Amazon workers who organized with the Teamsters.

Now, Amazon Teamsters at facilities across the country will be striking, including primary picket lines at hundreds of Amazon Fulfillment Centers nationwide.

The fact that all of our Dem messaging apparatus is scrapped the day after the election while Ben Shapiro and Andrew Tate, Rogan and such do year long propoganda is part of our losing battle. No one changes their views from someone they found 2 month before the election

[Joe Calvello @the_vello]

This from @AOC is the truth.

Scathing statement from Bernie Sanders on the election results

“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them…”

Incredible news. Zooey Zephyr, my fiancée, was re-elected to the Montana House of Representatives, getting 83% of the vote.

Many of you will remember her for standing up for trans people in Montana, and then getting censured and kicked off the House floor.

I'm so proud of her.

Incredible news in New York called by the AP!

Issue 1 wins, codifying gender identity/sexual orientation into their constitution, as well as reproductive healthcare and autonomy.

This ensures trans and queer people remain protected, and codifies abortion rights in the state!

Oh, a game-changer in North Carolina: the combination of Democrats winning the governorship & apparent results in legislative races will end GOP ability to do as they will in the state.

[Denis Beganovic @Beganovic2026]

Missouri voters elected Trump and Hawley
while making abortion legal, increasing the minimum wage, and voting down a raise for law enforcement. What a state

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

We live in an Orwellian world where Iran is the “destabilizing” force in the Middle East, not the country occupying the West Bank, Gaza, Golan Heights, & attacking Iran, Lebanon & Yemen.

The rest of the world thinks this rhetoric is mad. It’s for US domestic consumption.

[Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib]

So sick.

Remember that members of Congress are permitted to own stock in war manufacturing, so when they vote to send more bombs or send our loved ones to war, they profit personally.

[IMEU Policy Project @imeupolicy]

FEMA said last week it faces a nearly $9 billion shortfall for Hurricane Helene recovery efforts.

On the same day, Israel announced a $8.7 billion weapons package from the US.

Our tax dollars are funding Israeli war crimes instead of the investments we desperately need here.

[Akbar Shahid Ahmed @AkbarSAhmed]

Asked a well-placed US official about the Biden administration's framing of the imminent Israeli ground operation in Lebanon as "limited."

Response: "It will be big. Everyone who says it’s going to be 'limited' is a white man who thinks a million dead brown people is 'limited.'"

Here’s the Pro-Palestine Speech the DNC Refused to Put on TV:

[Leah McElrath @leahmcelrath]

Instead of vetted remarks by a pro-Harris Palestinian-American speaker, the @DNC chose extended dance interludes.

@TheDemocrats have self-sabotaged with this decision. There’s just no legitimate justification.

[Yonah Lieberman 🔥 @YonahLieberman]

The @uncommittedmvmt forced the DNC into a crisis this week. The movement exposed how hollow supporting a ceasefire with just words is. There is still time before the election for VP Harris to learn from this failure and show voters with action how she will change course on Gaza.

[Chicago Teachers Union @CTULocal1]

We said it in November, and we say it again today: the time for peace is now.

We stand in solidarity with those calling for a Palestinian American speaker at the DNC.
