Street art of a person in a dressing gown holding a fire extinguisher and wearing a gas mask is painted on a wall of a destroyed building in Hostomel, near Airport, Ukraine.

#OTD November 11, 2022, the artist Banksy announced that he had made similar art work in Borodyanka, also in Kyiv region.

Democrats make a new offer to end the shutdown, but Republicans aren't buying it The offer, crafted by Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., and championed by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., would also extend expiring health care subsidies for one year.

Republicans donโ€™t want to reopen the government!

And they sure as hell donโ€™t want to help Americans with skyrocketing health insurance costs.

Justice Jackson may have been the one who gave the order to halt SNAP payments, likely for some procedural requirement reason, but Trump is the person who ASKED for that, so the hunger is 100% his fault. The money was in the process of being disbursed when he asked for it to stop.

They won't be able to hide on military bases forever!

The next Democratic nominated AG better have the balls to hit the ground running!

Ask Joe Rogan how he feels now about having had bullshit artist Mike Benz aka Frame Game on to just spout โ€œsomething something CIAโ€ fantasies for hours.

Whoโ€™s paying Frame Game? Same people as are paying John Solomon, and War Room. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Did You Feel That, America? That's The Pulse of Democracy. Did you feel that, America?

Did you feel that, America?

The steady, throbbing kick-drum rhythm thundering throughout this land on election night?

It was the pulse of Democracy returning.

I guess the plan to have Mike Johnson lie in shutdown press conferences every day for 3 weeks didnโ€™t work out.

I just want to remind everyone that this is a statewide mandate, unencumbered by maps.

So CBS settled Trumpโ€™s lawsuit where he frivolously sued because they edited Kamala Harrisโ€™s interview so it would fit into their air time.

Then CBS does a 73 minute interview of Trump where they made big edits from the version that was broadcast.

They aired 28 of 73 minutes.

Hereโ€™s to proof that when we act together, we win.

Yes - their egos are so big they need to create sites that reinforces their belief they are great because somewhere deep down inside they know theyโ€™re not as popular, or liked as they think.

So I have a truth social account so I can keep an eye on my least favorite president and I gotta tell you, the comments on Truth Social are literally all shit memes with no text. That entire site is bots just posting pics to make Donnie think people like him.

Kinda like Elon on Twitter honestly ๐Ÿ˜‚

California voters waited in long lines to cast ballots even after the outcome was clear. 

Voters across Southern California waited in long lines to vote on Tuesday evening โ€” in some cases, after the outcome of the only question on the ballot had already been called.

Their eagerness to vote on the ballot measure, which would temporarily redraw the stateโ€™s congressional districts to favor Democrats, showed how successfully leaders in Democratic-leaning California had framed a โ€œyesโ€ vote as a rebuke of President Trump.

โ€œWe saw a line literally around the block,โ€ said Eli Lipmen, the director of a transit and infrastructure nonprofit in Los Angeles. โ€œWe couldnโ€™t believe it.โ€

It will be interesting to see what happens now when the Republicans realise that tRump is on his way out!

Dems flipped 13 seats in the Virginia legislature!!! Pundits were saying Sherrillโ€™s race for the NJ governorship would be razor tight and she might lose, instead she blew the doors off her Trump-aligned opponent. Republicans will be looking long and hard at those races.
