🚨THIS COULD BE HISTORY: Hakeem Jeffries says Democrats are “on the verge of taking back” the House — putting him within striking distance of becoming the first Black Speaker in American history. We’re close. Now let’s finish the job. Volunteer. Organize. Vote. 🇺🇸🌊 #VOTE

Seizing Elon Musk's assets and trying him for treason would not be the first time in history when enemies of America from among the wealthy saw their fortunes confiscated.

There's no doubt that @aoc.bsky.social has changed the trajectory of American politics. Grateful to have her with us on the ground across Michigan to strengthen our movement to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All.

Good grief! 🤦‍♀️

Paul Calandra has put 8 Ontario school boards under supervision for financial mismanagement so having Stan Cho - who spent thousands of dollars on Toronto hotel rooms despite living in the city - as his parliamentary assistant makes perfect sense in Doug Ford’s Ontario. 🙃

Disgusting.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

Yesterday a parent was surprised to learn that 1 adult supervises 5 classrooms of students, including a Grade 1 class, at lunch. We’ve been trying for a long time but we’re not doing a good job getting the word out about how education cuts are impacting kids during every part of the school day.

WOW -- Vance *defends* Vivek's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away. Do you think it was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern.

If you think a test for dementia is an IQ test, you have dementia. If you don't realize you have been given a test for dementia because your physician suspects you have dementia, you have dementia. If you think being able to tell a giraffe from a whale makes you a genius . . . you have dementia.

Get rid of online gambling entirely! "Profit and political considerations have been put ahead of the health and well-being of Ontario citizens. As always, the attempted coverup only makes it worse." www.thestar.com/opinion/edit...

thestar.comStar Editorial Board: Doug Ford must address appalling online gaming scandalResearch study commissioned in 2022 ‘buried’ after it showed problem gambling was much higher than expected
Toronto Star@thestar.com

Online gambling has been incredibly lucrative for the province. Ontarians wagered more than $82.7 billion in the 2024-25 fiscal year. That windfall has come at a cost, critics say. Suicides by people with gambling issues have increased, according to data from Ontario’s chief coroner.

Get rid of this disgusting scourge on society entirely! The cost is far too high! (I can hardly stomach watching sports because of all of the heinous ads!) Another massive #fordfail!

Toronto Star@thestar.com

Records obtained by the Star through freedom of information legislation reveal that iGaming executives were concerned when researchers reported problem #gambling rates significantly higher than expected, and quietly decided the research would be kept confidential.

There is much to admire in Abdul El-Sayed's response to the GOP plant in his audience. But one of the most deft things he did was to point out (twice) that our Constitution protects our right to follow *no* religion, thereby casting Christian nationalist Tommy as the actual religious extremist.

“I’ve not once seen evidence that Donald Trump has enriched himself.” 🤡 🙃 V.P. JD Vance hilariously makes a bonfire of his own credibility again on national TV 🔥

Josh Hawley staffer and political operative Tommy: You are supposedly a Christian. Have you disavowed Christian domestic terrorists like Timothy McVeigh, The Aryan Nation, the KKK, Eric Robert Rudolph, and Dylann Roof, etc., etc., etc.? If not, what are YOUR allegiances?

Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

You know who does? The American people! New WaPo-ABC poll: 66% of Americans say Trump using the presidency to enrich himself, up from 62% in Feb & 56% in Sept 2025. That includes huge majorities of Democrats (94%) & independents (73%) along with over a quarter of Republicans (27%) (h/t jen rubin)

JD Vance: "I've not seen a single shred of evidence that Donald Trump participates or sanctions in that corruption ... I've not once seen evidence that Donald Trump has enriched himself"

Politicians use their office to get rich. Those days have got to end. No revolving door for lobbyists, no congressional stock trading, no corporate PAC money.

When JFK ran, they said the country would never elect a Catholic president. When Obama ran, they said the country would never elect a Black president. Michiganders care a lot less about how I pray than what I pray for: peace, dignity, basic goodness for all of our kids.

Brilliant! (I’m Canadian and so I don’t have a vote but if I did, I would vote for this candidate without hesitation!)
