Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

Q: Given you answers about transparency, why are WH officials meeting with Boebert in an effort to get her to not sign the Epstein files petition? LEAVITT: Doesn't it show transparency that members of the Trump administration are willing to brief members of Congress?

there's a sense that conservatives want me to worry about which liberal elites might catch Epstein strays when in fact I am so married to this outcome that me and this outcome have a home in the suburbs and are expecting twins

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015 What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

One reason you hold a meeting to pressure/cajole/threaten Boebert in the Situation Room is so she can't record it.

Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?" Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

Hakeem Jeffries says the ACA fight ends one of two ways: Either Republicans relent and accept a funding extension to prevent premium hikes, "or the American people will throw Republicans out of their jobs next year and end the speakership of Donald J. Trump once and for all."

one of the funniest parts about Joyce Carol Oates going viral for nuking Elon Musk is that he absolutely needed someone tell him who Joyce Carol Oates is

When Republicans are crying about the cost of healthcare, it's a sign they've read The Fucking News. You can, too: open.substack.com/pub/thefucki...

Russ Vought's argument that, since the Fed lost money last year, CFPB can't get funded from the Fed's "combined earnings" has long been endorsed by anti-government cranks. Now the cranks are in the White House. But there's a problem: the shutdown prevents Vought from firing CFPB workers.

NEW Breaking Basket (new short-form audio news update thing I’m testing out) on the Marion County Record settlement, with context and background on the unprecedented newspaper raid. Listen here:

UPDATE — Here are the at least 11 congressional Democrats, 11 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 6 Democratic Senate candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

Glad this story is finally public but also incredible that it is taking media so long to dig up what is essentially open knowledge in these communities rn.

Undoubtedly @marisakabas.bsky.social will have more insight but at least a small measure of justice for the Marion County Record... so late & so little for a life. apnews.com/article/kans...

Trump refers to Democrats as "the enemy"

You can really make out the lyrics in this version.

NEW: President Trump's pardon of his alleged 2020 co-conspirators was less about shielding them from past crimes, his adversaries say, than about signaling to others that he has their back if he needs them again in 2026 or 2028. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

So Bari Weiss' dogshit FreePress saw fit to boost John Fetterman's book in which he wishes he'd quit his Senate run after the stroke but won't resign now, to allow PA's governor to nominate someone who can call the genocide in Palestine a genocide. www.inquirer.com/politics/pen...

Example 1,592,879 of what #Republicans care about most - power, money, and revenge They don't care about serving their constituents or upholding their oath of office. The "party of Law & Order" is now a traitorous criminal organization.

Trump and Hegseth booed mercilessly for 2 minutes straight tonight by Washington Commanders fans.

BREAKING: Trump falsely claims the U.S. is “taking trillions” from tariffs and promises a $2,000 dividend “for everyone.”

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️

Astonishing how hard this administration is working to keep people hungry. It's clear they are trying maximize public suffering, in hopes of getting people to blame Dems for that suffering. But it's transparently the White House working overtime to keep the suffering going! bsky.app/profile/cram...

So Democrats get: 1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays 2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail 3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

In March, after Schumer last surrendered, we called an emergency meeting of Indivisible leaders. 92% told us to call on him to step down from leadership (which we did). In a poll over this weekend, 98.67% said we should keep up the fight. Rank & file Dems are going to be PISSED!

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not. If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him And they should, given this is his fault.
