Mayor Mamdani and Councilmember Kayla Santosuosso visited the New York Aquarium to meet some seals and celebrate the impact of the administration’s $2 million investment in the aquarium.

OK, but seriously… Take your ballot to an official drop off site, do not trust the USPS to postmark it correctly. Find the official ballot drop off near you and take your ballot there.

Ukraine losing access to Starshield raises serious concerns for our national security—like who controls critical capabilities the U.S. government has spent billions to procure & how decisions to restrict them are made. I'm demanding answers from the Department of Defense & SpaceX

They’re gonna fuck us and grab a bag every which way they can. Don’t let me get on my soapbox about how the stock market has never benefited the middle class. It’s always been about the rich continuing to extract more and more and more from all of us and the planet.

Nothing to see here, folks.

Ahem

I just read this article: holy shit is right. Remember when Jared took a $2 billion deal from the Saudis and the Biden admin did nothing to investigate it? *lalala the Trump yrs are behind us* Someone said Jared is the new Epstein with this tangled web of cruelty and corruption. I see it.

We promised Ukraine security in exchange for giving up nuclear weapons. We must honor our agreements. Just because we stopped fighting the Cold War doesn't mean Putin has.

Solid metaphor for the entire administration, honestly

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Do not trust the polls. Do not allow yourself to become complacent. Vote early — and get your friends and family to vote. Do not let Elon, Big Tech, Big Oil, AI, and the billionaire class buy this election. We outnumber them — and we're the only ones that can put an end to this nightmare.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

SpaceX got almost $6 BILLION in taxpayer-funded defense contracts last fiscal year. Meanwhile, SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, has spent over $360 MILLION in our elections this cycle. This should be illegal — but it isn't. I'll be introducing a bill to close the loophole that allows it.

It's time to defund Elon. robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

Trump and Republicans kicked millions of people off SNAP because they would rather give billionaires more money than make sure working families can put food on the table.

Thanks, Meidas Touch

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

X is owned by Musk. TikTok is blocking the Musk movie account. Meta blocked the No Kings account. This is why Democracy Docket is not built on SubStack or any third-party platform that could one day turn against it. It costs more to operate but is worth it. Subscribe now. demdock.com/4w6emld

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Meta claims it was all a big whoopsie that No Kings organizers were locked out of their accounts as the protests began today

Russia is cooperating with Iran. So why is Trump cooperating with Russia? Like the diesel deal, this decision is a gift to the very forces attacking our service members.

huh. what could this posssssssssibly mean. the US media willful professed ignorance on this stuff is increasingly embarrassing. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Friends — It's time to defund Elon Musk. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

TELEGRAPH: Trump & Musk conspired to throttle Starlink and make Ukraine more vulnerable to Russian attacks — then Musk tried to blame only Trump. Putin wins again, as usual. Russia was never a hoax. www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

I’m so f%king sick of this guy.

Truth 👇

Gosh, maybe you should not have sold to private equity. It's like private equity is a big part of why our favorite brands are going out of business or being completely enshittified. Capitalism ruins anything.

The goal of sane people must be to defund Elon Musk and get him as far away from politics as possible. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

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.

Psychiatrist Dr. Bandy Lee issues a stark warning about the upcoming midterms: “This is probably going to be the most dangerous period in American history.” Speaking with Anthony Davis, she explains what she fears could happen if the midterm results go against Trump.

Let’s learn from past crashes and be ready w bold transformative demands. No AI bail outs. No impunity.

Filipkowski on Putin: He is intentionally humiliating Trump. He wants to diminish the United States. He wants to diminish our credibility and our prestige. What better way to do it than week after week after week, making the president of the United States look like a clown?

Elon is dumping mountains of money into the midterms to help Republicans. Spoiler: it isn’t to make life better for regular people — It’s to enrich himself, spread data centers, get government contracts, etc… he does not care about you. www.instagram.com/p/DeaJjWxl0H...

Elon Musk’s SpaceX restricted military Starlink without warning overnight as Russia pounded Kyiv, disrupting drone missions and leaving 600,000 Ukrainians in the dark. No billionaire should have this much power. Musk is punishing Zelenskyy because Ukraine's attack on Data Centers. What a POS!

If the disruption really is some kind of political intervention, this is only further proof that Europeans—or anyone in the world—can’t rely on any of Musk’s products, as they will be at the whims of the technocrat that still finds himself at Trump’s beck and call. newrepublic.com/post/216600/...

Mike Rogers wife out here trying to by votes for $10 gas cards in Michigan Could this be more desperate? And How is this legal?

Do you know how hard it is to lose the war if you're the United States? It's about as unlikely as bankrupting a casino.

Trump just handed Putin a lifeline weeks before the midterms. Energy analysts say his Russian diesel deal won’t meaningfully lower prices. And a tanker that left Russia weeks before the announcement raises an even bigger question: How long was this in the works?

Today in DC: "Beginning Saturday, crews will start another major round of cutting at the historic public golf course. The first phase contains 169 trees marked for removal. The Trump Administration says as many as 529 could eventually come down..." www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2026/...

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.
