At this point, they'd have to pay me NOT to protest.

Paraguay’s President Santiago Peña, an ally of Donald Trump, has just been found Guilty of Fraud, impeached and most importantly had his Presidential Immunity removed. He's going to prison for a VERY long time.

Democrats want a "left wing Joe Rogan" except for the whole "left wing" part of it.
Left-wing streamer Hasan Piker drew 1.75 million hours of watch time during the midterms, attracting a largely young male audience. In an NBC News interview, Piker discusses young men's shift toward Democrats, with exit polls showing gains among voters who favored Trump in 2024. nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/h…

A Senate that is actually starting to look like the American people it represents!!👏👏
For the first time in US history, a Muslim, a Native American woman, an openly gay man, a Black woman, a trans woman, and a Latina have won their respective midterm elections.

I stopped by Renee and Alex’s memorials today and was inspired to see all those who showed up to pay their respects and leave an “I voted” sticker. We have not forgotten. Accountability is coming.

Trump just appointed white nationalist Stephen Miller as his chief of staff and there are Democrat leaders and the whole corporate media pushing for bipartisanship, it’s totally detached and destructive to all of us.

🇺🇸 HOLY SHIT! Police shoot athlete 5 TIMES mistaking him for violent brother College lacrosse player Maverick Lyon was held hostage at knifepoint by his brother during a drug relapse. Their father called 911 and gave police clear descriptions of both sons. But when Maverick broke free and ran out, officers just opened fire, shooting him 5 times. He spent a month in the hospital, losing part of his lung, his appendix, and his spleen and is now filing a lawsuit against the police department. Writer: Bri

Marco Rubio: "For years to come, there are many people on the right...that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump because this is not going to end well.” (2016)

If you're $50 short on a bank payment, they'll charge you another $35 for being broke. If a bank loses $50 billion, suddenly the entire fucking economy depends on saving it. Funny how capitalism demands financial responsibility from everyone except the people running it.

While we have your attention, when are you coming in to testify under oath about covering up the Epstein files? Or are you too scared to come in?
The Chief of Staff already has a lawyer. The Attorney General of the United States and the Department of Justice.

Shame on the world.
🚨 BREAKING: Torrential winter rains are flooding the makeshift tents sheltering displaced Palestinian families across the Gaza Strip. Families are watching their few remaining belongings drown in floodwater as rain pours down on their already fragile shelters. This is the FOURTH consecutive winter that Palestinians in Gaza have been forced to endure in tents after Israel destroyed more than 80% of buildings across the Strip, leaving hundreds of thousands homeless. Conditions are catastrophic. Families are exposed to flooding, freezing temperatures and relentless rain, with no adequate shelter and nowhere to go. AND WINTER HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN‼️

Do your homework on what campaigns Schumer didn't give money to when they needed it the most...
Chuck Schumer saw 4 Black Senate candidates closing in on historic Southern upsets—Nixon in FL, Davis in LA, Wess in AL, and Colom in MS—and starved every single campaign. Left 4 Senate seats on the table because his playbook is from 1980.

KEEP THE PRESSURE UP Hakeem right now is at his weakest position. Call up all your reps that the Speaker CANNOT be Hakeem Jeffries.
NEW: House Dems "inundated" w/ calls & emails urging them not to elect Jeffries speaker One member told @axios they got "300-400" calls in 2 days Another said "over 500" A third said "higher" than 500: "It's our No. 1 issue, and it's not close." axios.com/2026/11/06/jeffrie…

Mamdani was asked whether he still supported Jeffries for speaker after the Kushner meeting became public. He said: “I continue to support congressman Jeffries in his bid to become the leader.”

Wow. Newly elected Congressman Don Leonard says he will not support Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker of the House over his unquestioned support for Israel.
Congressman-Elect Don Leonard for OH15 announces he will not back Rep. Hakeem Jeffries as speaker until he commits to economic priorities & changes to U.S. Policy towards Israel and Gaza. Leonard ran on an affordability platform to flip a +10R district.

i don’t want to find bipartisan common ground with fascists. i want democrats to take decisive dramatic action to improve the lives of working people and steer the planet away from disaster.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said that his party is “ready, willing and able to find bipartisan common ground” in order to work with Republicans on the ongoing affordability crisis. abcnews.visitlink.me/ymEF7Q

A TOTALLY WRONG MOVE and ignoring the will of the voters on Tuesday. Voting for Jeffries will END political careers in the next cycle.
Ro Khanna says Hakeem Jeffries is going to be Speaker just now on MSNOW. That itll be unanimous in the prog caucus. Man these politicians are not reading the room. “A pretty historic moment. The first African American speaker. We have ideological differences that we’ll work out.”

If Trump is endorsing Schumer, you know Schumer is going to protect Trump. This is a no go.
Trump throws his support behind Chuck Schumer: “Chuck Schumer probably gets it [Majority Leader]. He is not a bad guy. I know him very well.” At this point anyone who thinks change is coming from the duopoly isn’t paying attention. We need a revolution.
