@bryanbehar I’ll vote for a yellow dog 🐕 as long as it’s on the Democratic ticket

@MrAlexisPereira The Western Canon needs revision 🙄

Here’s Nate. Got a home for him? If not - PLEASE RT!

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

I did the homework. I got the experts to check my math, and the numbers are clear: #MedicareForAll is the only plan that gives everyone in America full coverage. And we can do it without raising taxes one penny on middle-class families. https://t.co/DXGvtvhpEs

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

You are correct!

But you tried to extort a foreign government for personal gain, so here we are.

“One UK official with knowledge of Barr’s wish list presented to London commented that ‘it is like nothing we have come across before, they are basically asking, in quite robust terms, for help in doing a hatchet job on their own intelligence services’.” https://t.co/O3RS8qNpM1

Don’t let the out of control news cycle distract you from the fact that labor relations are worse than they’ve been in half a century.

Even though the US economy is twice as large as it was in 1980, the median wage hasn’t risen in 40 years.

Almost all the gains went to the top.

And this is the boy himself. SIX YEARS in a caring but still necessarily sad shelter on Long Island.

We’ve got to get Mickey out of here and into a loving home. If everybody RT’s this we will get him the family he has waited an eternity for.

PLEASE RT MICKEY!

[Keith Olbermann @KeithOlbermann]

Since @nycacc has today off, let’s see if we can get a few wonderful Metro NYC pups, safe but stuck in the shelter system, out and into a real home where they can love and be loved - the universe’s great gift to us is dogs.

Here’s Sally - PLEASE RT HER!

Sean Doolittle: “I have a brother-in-law who has autism...How would I explain that to him that I hung out with somebody who mocked the way that he talked, or the way that he moves his hands? I can’t get past that stuff.”

IMPORTANT TO SHARE: November 1, ACA Open Emrollment begins.

Despite Trump’s lawsuit to end it, people need to hear lower premiums & more choices are available.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Thanks to Trump’s trade wars:

Farm bankruptcies in Sept. soared to 24% — highest level since 2011.

Nearly 40% of projected farm profit this year will come from trade aid, disaster assistance, & federal subsidies.

Farm aid has now cost more than double the 2009 auto bailout.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Happy Tuesday.

Trickle down economics is a cruel hoax designed to enrich the wealthy and corporations while draining money for the middle class and the poor.

Tell a friend.

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

Keep up the drum beat: Why did Justice Kennedy retire so abruptly? What role did his son at Deutsche Bank play? Who paid off Brett Kavanaugh’s $92,000 country club fees plus his $200,000 credit card debt plus his $1.2 million mortgage, and purchased themselves a SCOTUS seat?

[Keith Olbermann @KeithOlbermann]

Great with dogs, great with adults yet his ‘people’ have now dumped Drake to die in this @nycacc kill shelter Saturday because he’s scared by kids and by raised voices. Drake #78142 needs pledges for Rescue/F/A via

[Keith Olbermann @KeithOlbermann]

Sasha, says the shelter, is “a beautiful girl” who gives soft, gentle kisses, loves people. Still, because she’s scared, slightly lame, has a droopy eyelid, she’s on Saturday’s list. Sasha #67377 needs Rescue/F/A pledges via @TomJumboGrumbo PLEASE RT https://t.co/PgPgEpcj9i

I cannot remember a time when the world saw the United States this unsteady, adrift, corrupt, or incompetent.
