Voted early in person in NJ today. Altho people coming & going when I drove up, I was the only one in the room. Polls are open 7 days a week through 11/1 - so yes - you can vote on a Sunday. We have no excuses for not voting now. It couldn't have been any easier. Just do it (apologies to Nike).

And he's just discovering this??? It's about time. From Meidas Touch: Jim Pasek, a retired pharmaceutical plant maintenance worker who voted for Trump: “He’s not making sense. It confuses me, and then I just get disgusted and tune out.”

The initial banning of some news orgs got lots of press. The pool supported each other in a show of strength. Why aren't they doing that now every time a channel is barred from an event? Teach the toddler a lesson. He feeds on attention, and no one covering his event would devastate him.

In USA Today Re $90 checks: "Trump called the fund a "pointless 'Slush Fund'" in a Truth Social post announcing the checks." He seriously thinks a $90 check will put a dent in our payments? What's pointless is his doing this while raiding another fund to do so. But so very trumpian.

ABC News: "I don't know why the President of the United States is behaving this way with his allies; it's not the first time it happens after all," (PM Meloni) said in Italian." Try...because you're a woman.

Was I misreading the pictures from MSG during the National Anthem or was *rump just standing there while everyone around him had their hand over their heart during the anthem? He appeared to raise his hand in salute only when he noticed (or someone told him) that the camera was on him.

Writing of the passed ICE/CBP funding, Heather Cox Richardson notes "Even if Democrats take control of Congress after the midterms, the funding will be in place, preventing Democrats from using funding to demand reforms." Remind me, did that fact stop the Republicans so far from defunding?

“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor “If I am not for me, who is for me; and if I am (only) for myself, what am I. And if not now, when?” – Hillel, Ethics of the Fathers, 1:14

20 and counting. Admirable (?) that he keeps trying - but not that he keeps failing. And the media is drawing attention to this just now? Good if they had informed the public back when they were voting for him on the basis of his being a "businessman." www.aol.com/articles/eve...

aol.comEvery Trump Business That Went BankruptTrump’s business record isn’t just real estate towers and licensing deals—it’s also littered with abandoned ventures that didn’t deliver on their promises. While some collapsed under market forces, ot...

Face The Nation Border czar Tom Homan says "I don't like the masks" on ICE officers, but they "have to protect themselves" Maybe they wouldn't feel they had to if they did what the party ran on - arresting and deporting those with a criminal record. Live by the sword...

Can someone tell me how we can be assured that the evidence taken from Fulton Co Georgia isn't tampered with to achieve whatever their endgame is? Someone tell me there's a backup file somewhere that wasn't taken - please! Sorry, can't imagine why I'd be paranoid at this point.

Venturing a guess-just like the health care subsidies, the R's will subvert any deal made about DHS/ICE funding and the Epstein files will remain hidden from view. Whether that deal is made to avoid or after a shutdown, they'll twist it into something else and walk away laughing.

Tired of hearing Rs worried about getting re-elected. Maybe if they worried more about upholding the Constitution and doing their jobs as Congress is set out in it, they wouldn't have to worry about getting re-elected.

He turns his back on them in the book too. After using them for a storyline. He thinks they passed by many chances to improve their lives. So he generalizes to everyone. So much for that Yale education.

Human Services Commissioner Adelman: New Jersey Issues Fully Funded November SNAP Benefits Benefits Were Issued to EBT Cards Friday Morning Nov. 7, 2025 (TRENTON) New Jersey issuing fully funded November Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits this morning:...

Where is a Cesar Chavez when we need him? Boycott any corps that donated to the ballroom. Are YOU willing to give up your Amazon Prime, Apple+ and phones, etc., etc., and so forth? Or are you so addicted to this stuff that you just can't do it? Oh, Nancy, where are you now...Just do it!

ex Meidas+ Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ): “So Republicans can find $40 billion to bail out Argentina, but can’t find a dime to make sure 42 million Americans don’t go hungry next month?” Did I miss a NYTimes editorial about this? Hmmm...

ex Meidas+: Pete Buttigieg to CNN: “How in the world could you be focused on building literally gilded ballroom for fancy parties for your rich friends, at the exact moment when disproportionately working Americans who voted for you are getting screwed by your healthcare policy?” A rhetorical ? No?

Again from Meidas+ 'When he was asked how much he personally was going to contribute (he originally said he was going to pay for all of it himself), he refused to give a specific numbers and just said, “we’ll see.” ' Real question is - how much will he keep for himself?

From Meidas+ Today in Politics: … Leavitt concluded with this: “At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president’s main priority.” I thought it was the price of eggs, farmers stuck with soy crops and cattle, the average person living pay check to pay check. Attention deficit disorder?

I would like to suggest that this weekend, we dress up like Portland does for whatever rally you're attending. I plan to be near the *rump course in Pine Hill, NJ, so I think I'll go as a golf club or golf ball. Let's make this fun!!!

Sure, real friend to the working class. From openminds.com DOL Proposes Rolling Back Minimum Wage, Overtime Rules For Hospice, Home Health Aides The DOL stated its intent to exempt;hospice, home health, and personal care workers from eligibility for minimum wage and overtime. Comment until 9/2/25.

Via Heather Cox Richardson: *rump ranted: "CNN is scum. MSDNC is scum. The New York Times is scum." To which I say, "Sticks and stones may break their bones, but names can never hurt them." So incredibly juvenile a president. "P" not capitalized purposefully.

With Bernard Marcus, who strongly support 'rump, having passed away just before election day last year, leaving Arthur Blank, who supported Harris, and Ken Langone, who "dumped 'rump," among the 5 co-founders of Home Depot, is it mere coincidence that ICE is raiding Home Depot?
