Trump is a liar. Tear gassing kids in peaceful neighborhoods makes no one safer. He cannot steal credit from our violence prevention and law enforcement efforts that have reduced crime for four years straight — long before his masked agents showed up. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived. (Published October)

This checks out. You don’t hire Bari Weiss if you have standards.

HASSETT: We're comfortable that inflation has come way down QUINTANILLA: Even though it's been increasing for 5 straight months? HASSETT: Well I guess there's ups and downs and seasonals

Both are bone-headed ideas

The fix is in. Ghislaine Maxwell, transferred to a club med prison after Trump's lawyer met with her (and she likely spilled what she knows about Trump), is now being waited on "hand and foot" by guards and is getting her commutation application ready with help from the warden.

Rick Scott was CEO of a large, for-profit healthcare company called HCA. While Rick Scott was CEO, HCA stole so much money from Medicare they were fined $1.7 Billion.

A lot of scathing quotes aimed at Pulte for the 50-year mortgage idea in this great piece, but seemingly no blame for Trump who fully bought into it after 10 minutes

I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world? Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)

"There is a non-zero chance we repeat this all over again at the end of January when the funding deal will run out. There’s a reason you’re not supposed to negotiate with terrorists." www.thebulwark.com/p/dems-rewar...

A tech billionaire mocked Pope Leo XIV’s call for ethical AI. The post was deleted — but not before exposing Silicon Valley’s deeper discomfort: a pope they can’t buy or bully. It also revealed something older: the Valley’s original sin — the desire to be God.

The group behind “No Kings,” @indivisible.org warns primary challengers for some Senate Dems are coming after the big cave in shutdown battle. youtu.be/rGU51i00ed8?...

“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”

In this story, trump adviser and former House speaker / Clinton era shutdown guy newt gingrich dunks on Dems for his correct prediction that they didn’t have what it takes to win this shutdown I mean…. Show me the lie

Democrats grabbing defeat out of the jaws of victory. Again.

NEW: “Around 80% of MoveOn members that the group surveyed said that Schumer should quit his leadership position.” www.axios.com/2025/11/10/s...

A mobile lounge carrying passengers crashed at Washington Dulles International Airport on Monday, injuring more than a dozen people and causing some damage to the terminal.

Ummm. No. You didn't.

I mean, there's "out of touch" and then there's whatever the fuck this is: "They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

“Negotiating your own insurance” will result in everyone getting the dirt-cheapest junk plan which covers virtually nothing, because most people are terrible at risk assessment.

the caucus gets how this is *worse* right? if you're just going around Schumer, what's the point of leadership

This sounds like the start of a conversation to put Paw Paw in an assisted living center.

Do they realize how insurance works?

Why not take it out of the Ballroom budget?

In what way(s) wasn't it working? Polls have shown that his agenda is deeply unpopular, and it was proved out last Tuesday in what can only be called a thumping.

Senate Dems have lost the plot

MIZUHO DESK: Today, we have "another broken down SMID cap growth software company get even more busted." $MNDY was already down 20% YTD .. looks to open lower by another 20-21% .. as the bears now have the ammunition they wanted to suggest a share loss, growth slowdown thesis acerating into 2026 .."

KILMEADE: Schumer says he's voting no. Did you do this outside leadership? SHAHEEN: No. We kept leadership informed throughout.

I may never join a political party again. After Schumer caved in March, I switched to Unaffiliated to make a point that I wouldn't give another dime to support appeasement. This just solidifies my decision. My politics haven't changed, but the party sure has.

“The Heritage Foundation, the intellectual engine behind the 922-page blueprint that has become the key policy manual for Trump’s second term, is partnering with a constellation of European nationalist far-right movements to export its playbook for countering progressive policies.” 11/10/25 … 1/

It’s not left v. center or progressive v. liberal or anything like that. It’s fight v. don’t fight.

What is the point of a political party that will not fight for the people?

Dem base that gave them a blue tsunami: DON'T CAVE Majority of Dem elected officials: DON'T CAVE The majority of Americans blame the GOP for the shutdown and higher costs... 8 Dem Centrists (and you better believe Schumer knows what's up): Nah, We'll cave. I guarantee you calls came from donors.

watching my Obamacare premiums go from $422/month to $1455/month on the Senate floor right now.

Remember when some of us said the Democratic leadership would take all the wrong lessons from the blue tsunami and squander all the goodwill? Here you go.

Had Schumer been replaced after the spring fiasco you wonder if the result would have been different. He is not a wartime consigliere

"Democrats could have held the line on the shutdown, and spent weeks watching Trump’s approval ratings fall," writes @jonathanbchait.bsky.social Instead, he argues, they're making a mistake by giving in: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

So @therickwilson.bsky.social had some thoughts about @schumer.senate.gov caving

We talked about the shutdown the end of Schumers career here www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2vs...

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

The Washington Post Editorial Board, owned by the third-richest man in the world, taking the brave positions that trillion dollar payout to the richest man in the world is "a fair deal for everyone" www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Like, would it have been less indefensible in January, after people starved and more flights were canceled and 60% of the country was blaming Trump but he still didn’t notice because his brain is soup? I think it would’ve been equally craven then as now. We’re basically already a failed state. 🤷‍♂️

Part of me thinks “yeah, primary every last one of these fuckers!!!” And the other part of me thinks “eh, fuck it. We’re gonna need wholesale constitutional reform anyway. Just abolish the damn Senate.”
