Ok, I saw #Wickedforgood on Monday night and I’ve been living in an island since waiting for people start watching this weekend so I CAN TALK ABOUT THE MAGIC I WITNESSED 😭😭😭😭

Please understand that if something like this doesn't pass soon, we will be facing yet another crisis. A huge wave of people is about to retire on 401(k) plans, which is an untested retirement vehicle for the volume of people retiring.

The DOJ has been pressing states since May for their registration rolls, which include sensitive personal information of every single voter, claiming the agency wants to ensure compliance with federal voter laws. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

⚖️TODAY⚖️ A federal court will hear Black and Latino voters’ request to block North Carolina’s newly enacted congressional gerrymander. The voters argue the new map cracks and packs the state’s minority voters and entrenches its white majority. https://bit.ly/4r8iaAq

Congratulations to Donald Trump for surpassing Barack Obama.

Give me a break.

Personalized gold bars from the Swiss. Used jumbo jet from Qatar. Huge amounts of $$$ from crypto. The amount of corruption in the White House is at unconscionable levels. We need some real serious ethics across the federal government.

Joe Rogan and Theo Von slam DHS for using Von's image in a video promoting deportation: "I was like, oh my God, what the fuck are they doing? That's not how you envision the government." "They were making, like, deportation hype videos with trap beats and shit. What are we doing? It's idiocracy."

We finally solved that pesky problem of too many college graduates getting jobs

This is a tremendous piece of journalism www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Guy is dumber than a door knob, but Does hassett have any idea of the ramifications of what he is saying here?

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

I wrote about the stomach clenching reality of work now -- where rolling layoffs are the norm and no one feels secure in their job. Happy Monday! www.axios.com/2025/11/16/r...

And just to make sure we’re all still on the same page… what Tulsi just confirmed is that Trump has the power to declassify and release files whenever he wants and he knows it. Oh wow. Interesting.

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers was asking Jeffrey Epstein for dating advice months before his death— @drboguslaw.bsky.social reveals that Summers was set to lead Democrats’ “Project 2029.” trib.al/8EI81jW

Not Sure How They Deal With Criminals In Your Town, But ’Round Here We Use A Restorative Justice Process

After the last few months Democrats should be more confident in our ability to fight Trump and win. We are stronger now, and need to set our strategy for the battles ahead, accordingly: My latest 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/sunday-hop...

The so-called "peace plan" will lock-in a new form of occupation under the guise of stabilization & reconstruction. And this is what the genocide is all about. Illegally occupying the "green zone" where they'll build lavish homes, motels/hotels, retail for Israelis & tourists.

Trump is taking the "one corrupt deal is a tragedy, a thousand is a statistic" approach. Don't fall for it.

Hmm. Plute and Roblovlev are also mentioned.

A growing percentage of young women no longer see a future in the U.S. trib.al/aWZWjWn Roughly 40% of women aged 15—44 said that they would permanently move abroad if they were able to, according to a 2025 Gallup Poll. That included 45% of single women, and 41% of married women.

In Bovino's upside down world, there is no difference between an armed gang member preying on others in his community and a guy working 12 hours a day washing cars, flipping burgers, or installing sheetrock to feed his family — and he wants you to hate and fear both men equally.

Trump administration to issue policy change making deep cuts to homeless housing program

This is actually wrong, and I’m sure Vance as a politician knows this. Disagreeing w a false claim does not, psychologically, necessarily advance the truth. It can actually cement in ppl’s minds the wrong answer. That’s why when someone says “X,” which is false, you DON’T say “it’s not X, but Y.”

The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates’ heinous crimes deserve justice. Enough is enough. This floor vote is long overdue. Release the files.

More than half of the 2026 funding for a HUD permanent housing program will be shifted to transitional housing with work and service requirements.

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

In response, Russia decided to occupy not only Luhansk and Donetsk, but also Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. PM Orbán also stated that the American-Russian summit in Budapest is delayed, but is on the agenda. (Curious statements from the leader of a country that is a EU and NATO member)

Russia buys 55% of everything related to prosthetics "from countries that are at war with us", Svetlana Orlova, the auditor of Russia's Accounts Chamber, said. "And 850 billion rubles (~ $10,5 billion) is allocated for import substitution," she said.

An economist didn’t mince words as he dismantled Donald Trump’s boasts about the economy, questioning if the president is losing his grip on reality.

WATCH: “Every Republican voted to keep a payola provision to send millions to individual senators bank accounts. IT’S CORRUPTION.” The @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty payday WILL be in the funding bill. Truly obscene & shameless even for them.

Russian Telegram channels report an attack on Stavrolen plant in Stavropol region of Russia. The plant produces plastics and isolation materials for the Russian army.

You can see why Bessent is floating coffee tariff relief today. ☕️

Epstein vote aside, Adelita Grijalva needs to be sworn in today, no questions asked. More than 700,000 Arizonans have been without representation, and that’s flat-out unacceptable.

Kash Patel's private-jet problem is getting worse. The FBI director has taken the government jet to Nashville, his country-singer girlfriend's home city, even more than has been publicly reported. My latest newsletter for @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/kash-patel...

Pro-Trump media went wild for a bombshell exposé claiming the Jan. 6th pipe bomber was a Capitol Police officer with CIA ties. But now the story looks shaky, tweets are getting deleted, and the story's backers are running for cover. My @thebulwark.com newsletter: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-blaze-...
