NEW: We just filed an amicus brief alongside @publiccitizen.bsky.social urging the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida to pause Trump's $10B lawsuit against the IRS, and block Trump and the DOJ from entering into an unconstitutional settlement while Trump is in office.

citizensforethics.orgAmicus: Court must block unconstitutional settlement in Trump’s $10 billion IRS lawsuit  - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in WashingtonThe court should prevent an unlawful and collusive transfer of taxpayer funds from the US Treasury to Trump’s personal coffers.

Now let’s do this through the Democratic Party. Please retire old establishment democrats. Please let the more energetic, passionate, talented young politicians take leadership roles so we can actually fight!! No more stupid letters.

At just 34 years old, Zohran Mamdani will become the youngest mayor in over a century, the first Muslim to lead New York City and one of the most prominent democratic socialists holding elected office in the country. @thecity.nyc www.notus.org/new-york/nyc...

This is why I love living in California!

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Bill Gates Says Climate Change ‘Will Not Lead to Humanity’s Demise’ In a memo, Gates warned against a “doomsday outlook” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/c... after decades, Gates is now over climate change!? the hypocrisy of the man who rebranded tax evasion as charity is as bottomless as his wealth

I just read Nobody’s Girl by Virginia Guiffre. Highly recommend! It was heart breaking, rage-inducing, witty and inspiring. It’s so hard to read, but we cannot look away. Abuse thrives in darkness and silence. She was a pillar of strength but we all have our breaking point. #NobodysGirl

This is the third U.S. Attorney found to be unlawfully appointed. The other two are Sigal Chattah and Alina Habba. Their indictments stand because they were signed by other prosecutors. Not true for Lindsey Halligan.

Overturn Citizens United In Your State Here's how.

David Sirota@davidsirota.com

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇 Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it. Our new @rollingstone.com piece based on our new book MASTER PLAN. Get the book at LeverNews.com/book

If they are kids, I must be a teenager. This is BS. Zero tolerance for hate.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight. Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Make it make sense. The Math is not Mathing!!!

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare. And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

NPR@npr.org

On the first day of the federal government shutdown, the Trump administration froze "roughly $18 billion" in infrastructure projects for New York City, home to two of Trump's Democratic congressional opponents. It's not the first time Trump has threatened city funding over politics.

Couldn’t be prouder of my home state of Maryland. Sending love from my adopted state of California, @raskin.house.gov !! Stand strong!

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.gov

Team Maryland believes government must be an instrument for the health and common good of the people even if MAGA uses it as an instrument for self-enrichment. Democrats are fighting to get government back open and secure the health care benefits and rights of all the people.
