“O, let America be America again— The land that never has been yet— And yet must be….” - Langston Hughes

"Why can't we take people from Norway and Sweden and Denmark?" Yeah. I'm sure people from Europe will just rush to come here. Our slogan: "America: Come for the racism. Stay for the mass shootings and lack of healthcare!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who spared a thought for my country today, who amplified information about the coup d’état attempt, and worried about Brazil’s democratic future—the world’s democratic future. We won! Women won! The Amazon won! Young people won! Democracy won! Hope won!

Huge event. Failed Jared Kushner/Trump luxury hotel project planned for Belgrade played a role in starting expanded protests against Vucic.

A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.

I keep seeing posts from Republicans pretending to be insulted by Barack Obama's Cheesecake Factory quip because most Americans supposedly think it serves haute cuisine. First, it does not. And you know that. Second, his remark wasn't about the food. It was about the over-the-top golden decor.

Writers Guild speaks out about tech platforms squashing the @alexgibneyfilm doc about Elon Musk: “A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration threatens democratic discourse.”

“How long can we tolerate Elon Musk deciding our elections and foreign policy? How critical is it that investigations immediately begin if and when the Democrats take back power? Should Starlink and SpaceX be nationalized to minimize Musk’s power?” www.americaamerica.news/p/how-long-c...

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Senate consideration could begin as soon as November 9. Please contact your senators now and tell them to oppose S. 5653 as written. Protect NEPA, the Clean Water Act, and the National Historic Preservation Act.

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration’s campaign to obtain states’ unredacted voter rolls suffered its 27th consecutive district court loss Friday, this time at the hands of a judge appointed by President Donald Trump. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

UPDATE: The DOJ’s demand to set aside ballots in California is impossible to carry out and has no basis in federal law, L.A. County told a federal court last night. Voting is already underway, the county said, and once a ballot leaves its envelope, it can’t be traced back to a voter.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Mary Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Elias Law Group has filed to fight DOJ's lawsuit to rig the Alaska Senate election. We will win this case, Mary will win this election, she will be certified and seated.

Nearly 2 in 3 U.S. adults younger than 30 who plan to vote in midterms say their main motivation is to oppose Trump and his policies, according to a new Harvard Youth Poll. 77% disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy — including about half of young Republicans.

“Instead of rolling over like CBS did when Trump brought a widely criticized defamation case against them over a 60 Minutes interview, the BBC is fighting back.”

Trump has pocketed billions of dollars from crypto schemes as he deregulated the industry. He's also pocketing millions of dollars buying stock in corporations that he's actively helping. Wondering why he doesn't care about affordability? It's because he's doing better than ever.

Don’t agonize — organize to make sure our win is too big to rig. We’re contacting voters in battleground states and districts every day: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

NOVEMBER 3rd Time to save America

"Trump has accused Democrats of threatening the country’s economy with socialism. Yet his administration has managed to wreck the country’s finances worse than any government in US history, without the excuse of an economic crisis or a successful major war." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

NEW: The New Mexico attorney General is suing Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer and personal accountant for facilitating Epstein’s sex trafficking ring. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/21/e...

“Trump and Putin have teamed up to murder Ukrainians” is a better headline. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Way to go Texas! 🌊

The US economy is about 12 times larger than the Russian economy and per capita output is six times larger. CA, NY and TX surpass Russian output. It's a minor economic country. But Trump only wants to match the scale of theft and dictatorial, oligarchic rule of Putin, the people be damned.

A win for our forests and a reminder to keep fighting. Judge Vince Chhabria has temporarily blocked the Forest Service’s planned headquarters move from Washington, D.C., to Salt Lake City, Utah.

Ossoff: "The crisis we must meet is deeper than this presidency. Trump's rise is proof that business as usual has failed, that our politics, sickened by corruption, is failing the American public and compromising our national integrity. And that the hour is late to fix what's broken."

The first subpoena from the new Democratic Congress should be to Mark Zuckerberg, for taking down the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of one of the largest days of civic activism in American history. No Kings. No Courtiers.

Guess who passed the bar exam?

New in PN: Who wants to visit an authoritarian America? "Data shows the US on its way to being as unpopular a tourist destination as Russia, & for roughly the same reasons. In both countries, a tourist who runs afoul of the govt might spend months in a freezing warehouse without no legal counsel."

Thank you to everyone who has already voted and to everyone participating in today’s No Kings Vote Early events!

Elon Musk and America PAC have agreed to settle two fraud lawsuits over his $1 million daily giveaway ahead of the 2024 election. MAGA voters alleged they were misled into believing they had a random chance of winning. The settlement terms have not been disclosed.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Services, Immigrant Rights and Education Network and Mi Familia en Acción, my law firm has filed to intervene in DOJ's new voter suppression lawsuit against California. When we fight, we win. www.democracydocket.com/cases/califo...

🚨BREAKING: Pro-voting groups sue the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), challenging the Trump administration’s “policy of collecting, maintaining, and using” voter data in pursuit of alleged voter fraud. www.democracydocket.com/cases/dhs-vo...

Three little kids and a teacher were shot and killed at their school today in Bend, Oregon. Two more were injured. Our hearts are broken and we’re angry. It’s disgraceful that extremists keep blocking critical, lifesaving laws while kids die in their classrooms. America can do better. It must.

Discovery+, one of the streamers now owned by David Ellison’s media monopoly Skydance, hiked its prices exactly one week after the merger officially closed. Employees have already been told to expect layoffs — while top executives received pay bumps. Monopolies are only good for the monopolists.

The lawsuit states the employees were dismissed without cause because of their work on the case and that the firings were politically motivated. Federal law enforcement employees should be able to follow the evidence without fear of political retaliation.

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

It’s sad that this is necessary, but we’re glad to see action being taken to protect our elections. More than 100 Democratic Senate staffers will head to key polling locations this November to observe the election process as part of a new, first-of-its-kind Senate Election Observer Program.

The wealthiest in our country should pay their fair share into Social Security. Scrap the cap!

Great visit to Voltage Multipliers in Visalia, one of the incredible California companies that's helped make the Golden State the No. 1 in manufacturing in America. Be sure to look out for the new 'Made in California' symbol to choose items made right here in our state!

Let me be specific: Donald Trump is an f-ing traitor. He is in cahoots with Putin and Russia to break our democratic ally, Ukraine, which makes all of us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/w...

Elon Musk has spent at least $276 million since July to boost Republican candidates, a record-breaking sum. That’s just 0.028% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

How can Europe stop Washington from rewriting transatlantic security? @ecfr.eu: Europe must confront the rising "prioritiser-primacist" US foreign policy agenda. Europeans must collectively signal that the US cannot abandon its core security responsibilities while keeping its global privileges.

The Trump thugs raid Rep Ilhan Omar in an effort to find reasons to deny her immigration history and deport her. How about Melania and Musk?

I love that this might be the thing that tanks Paxton, and not the biblical divorce or letting a child rapist out early.

This judge is not fucking around 🔥 Trump bulldozed ahead with cutting down hundreds of trees at the historic East Potomac Golf Links, despite a federal judge’s warning. She ordered work stopped & warned: “If that order is violated by as so much as two seconds, there will be contempt proceedings.”

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day. Please remove Columbus Day from your vocabulary.

Protests Rage Across India as Government Purges 130 Million Names from Voter Rolls www.democracynow.org/2026/10/7/he...

PSA, Colorado voters: Elon Musk’s America PAC has been sending misleading texts saying, “Your ballot request is in,” and asking voters to confirm where and when to return it. The messages have prompted confused residents to contact county election offices.
