The Tide Is Turning

November 6, 2025November 6, 2025

THIS REEKS

Medicare freeze beneficiary secretly donates $2.5 million to Trump ballroom and has been allowed to bill Medicare for $11,000 per square inch for artificial skin that has not yet been proven as effective as competitive products that sell for under $200.

Not only is he “the king of debt” and of bankruptcy . . . of tax avoidance and of impeachment . . . he would appear also to be the king of corruption.


THIS, TOO

Evangelical House Speaker Mike Johnson runs a “Pedophile Protection Program.”  To prevent the Epstein files from being released, he’s sent the House off on extended paid vacation and refused to seat a duly elected Member.


JESUS!

I think this song is pretty good.  (60 seconds)


ONE PLACE THEY DON’T WEAR THEIR RED HATS

A sharp barb — but it seems to have been offered, and received, without animosity.  Maybe we don’t hate each other so much after all. (10 seconds)


THE TIDE IS TURNING

Ben Meiselas:


. . . [E]ven as Trump spirals, the institutions he’s tried to break are beginning to push back. In Virginia, Magistrate Judge Fitzpatrick ordered Trump’s prosecutors to turn over all grand jury materials in the politically motivated James Comey case, sharply criticizing them for “indicting first and investigating later.” It’s a stunning rebuke of the corruption Trump has injected into the Justice Department.

And right now at the Supreme Court, in a pivotal case that could further erode Trump’s entire presidency, even the conservative justices don’t seem to be buying the regime’s arguments for his tariffs.

Tuesday’s results were an electoral victory for Democrats, but even more, they were a reaffirmation of democracy itself. From young voters turning out in record numbers to the passage of Prop 50 in California, to Democrats breaking the Republican supermajority in deep-red Missouri—a feat nobody thought possible—Americans made clear they’ve had enough of Trumpism’s cruelty and incompetence.

Trump can fly off to Florida, hold another party, and surround himself with sycophants, but he can’t escape the truth: the tide is turning. The blue wave he mocked has become a blue tsunami, powered by people who still believe in decency, democracy, and the rule of law. And no amount of denial, or Gatsby-themed escapism, will change that.

The momentum is on the side of democracy. But let’s be clear: this momentum only continues if we keep our feet on the gas. So let’s continue to build. Let’s continue to fight. Let’s ensure our messages are spread far and wide.



Join Indivisible’s “What’s the Plan” call today at 3pm Eastern.

Support “my” 26th annual DNC LGBT Leadership Council dinner even if you’re not L, G, B, or T and even if you can’t come.  An adequately funded opposition party is absolutely necessary for democracy to prevail.  Next year: give to candidates.  This year: to infrastructure.

Quote of the Day

"If I had my way, I would write the word 'insurance' over the door of every cottage and upon the blotting book of every public man, because I am convinced that for sacrifices that are inconceivably small, families can be secured against catastrophes that would smash them forever."

Winston Churchill
