As the NBA season begins this week, remember:
26 out of 30 NBA owners are billionaires — getting richer every day.
Meanwhile, the average ticket price to see the Knicks play the Sixers last night cost $1,894.
No. You should not have to be rich to take your kids to a ball game.

Hillary Clinton: “The Republican Party is no longer a political party, it is a cult devoted to Trump and Trump’s power. The Republican Party needs a total transformation. If we’re gonna have a healthy government that actually gets things done and delivers for people, the Republican Party has to purge itself of everybody that lost both their conscience and their backbone over the last ten years and that’s most of them”

Democrats will show up in your communities, show up in your schools, show up to your picket lines, and show up for you in Lansing to ensure teachers are respected, protected, and well-paid.

PM Mark Carney has confirmed he’s cutting ties with Musk and Starlink and heavily backing a $2.3 billion contract with Telesat Lightspeed.
Musk and his mood swings has shown us who he is and we believe him.

Wall Street has no business in the exam room.
That's the idea behind my Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act.

Just a few hours ago, President Trump said in the Oval Office that I should be tried in court because I dared to talk about the corruption coming out of the White House.
If I've learned one thing from this past year, it's that you have to push back. I'm not going to be intimidated out of standing up for the rule of law and the country that has given me everything.

Unbelievable. The most corrupt president in U.S. history created a “fraud whistleblower program.”
Ok. Let’s blow the whistle. Trump has:
Illegally accepted a $400 million plane from Qatar
Got $1.4 billion richer from crypto scams
Used taxpayer money for TV ads
That’s fraud!

Why do republicans continually say, they’re Christian’s and continually treat people poorly?

My husband and I voted early today in Orlando — BLUE all the way! 🗳️💙
It feels great to have our votes cast and our voices heard.
If early voting is available where you live, take advantage of it if you can — avoid the Election Day lines and get it done! 🇺🇸

Privatization = a scheme for opportunists and middlemen to suck a fat profit margin from a vital public service that’s already underbudgeted. And we wonder why costs go thru the roof on privatized services, even as quality of service plummets.

If elected, Kristina Knickerbocker wants to:
✅ Save Social Security
✅ Reduce health care costs
✅ Cut costs & corruption
Her opponent, Republican Mike Turner, embraces privatizing and cutting Social Security.
The choice couldn’t be clearer in November.
Races are emerging! Kristina @KnickerbockerOH has a great chance to unseat Mike Turner in the Dayton area OH-10. She’s a veteran & oncology nurse practitioner & Turner has a sad 16% rating on senior issues for his 24 years!
We got a Social Security round table going in a day!

It’s already winter in Alaska and it’s never been this expensive to heat our homes.
Dan Sullivan doesn’t want you to know that his votes for the Iran war are driving up our energy prices.
Alaskans are living hand-to-mouth, and he’s living high on the hog.

The young people powering Copper State Victory give me hope for our country's future. They've registered thousands of voters, and now they're helping people make their voices heard in this election. The least I could do was drop off some donuts and thank them for their work.

BREAKING: "PEDOPHILE PROTECTOR!" JD Vance gets humiliated in his home state as man stands up behind him at a rally, tears off his MAGA hat, and shouts at him over the Epstein coverup.
This is becoming Vance's defining problem...
When a similar thing happened at a different rally earlier this week, Vance engaged in some of his usual racism and attacked the man for being nonwhite by implying that he was an undocumented immigrant.
This time, the protestor was a white male in a suit and tie, so Vance couldn't rely on his shopworn bigoted narratives. This is exactly the demographic that Vance and Trump are supposed to appeal to, but their administration has been such an unmitigated failure that their base is failing.
Former supporters of the MAGA movement have turned on Trump and Vance because the former is implicated throughout the Epstein files and the latter is complicit in the ongoing coverup. Trump is a pedophile and Vance is protecting him.
Rather than immediately verbally attacking the man like Trump would have, Vance plastered on his trademark, slimy, awkward fake smile and looked around, his mind churning to come up with a quip.
But the Vice President is not a witty man, nor is he quick on his feet. The mindless MAGA crowd chanted "USA" as the protestor was led out by security, giving Vance a moment to compose his thoughts. But even that wasn't enough.
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, now that guy..." he said, taking another long pause. "That guy... He was... He was trying to pretend to be MAGA. Do you know he— Did you notice how he took off his Make America Great Again hat and threw it down? Here's the problem ladies and gentlemen, he told on himself. Cause when he took that hat off, it was very obvious that he has not washed his hair in about three months."
Really, that's the best you got, JD? This man just accused you of taking part in the worst pro-pedophilia coverup in American history and you cook up a random barb about his hair? And really, do YOU of all people want to be criticizing other people's appearances?
The crowd was less than impressed with the insult and managed just a few halfhearted cheers in response.
"And uh..." Vance added with a cringe-inducing chuckle. "And we all know that the people who haven't washed their hair in three months they vote for Democrats, not for Republicans."
Huh?
Clearly, Epstein is going to be a huge political problem for Vance when he runs in 2028. Good. Serves him right!
Please ❤️ and share if you think that JD Vance has ZERO chance of ever becoming President!
