🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night. He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.

this is genuinely wild

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28. If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.

Free and fair elections are good for business. Having a stable rule of law is important to the economy. Not having people afraid to go to work because they might be beaten up or disappeared is essential to a productive workforce. Democracy is essential for a strong economy.

no evidence whatsoever that mike johnson knows a single thing youtu.be/YR2WiILR6XE

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums. He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up. How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

mm hm www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

A Chicago woman shot by ICE agent has been released from custody because body cam confirmed the agent lied about why he shot her 5 times. He fled to Maine in the ICE vehicle. A Federal judge has ordered he be apprehended & sent back to Chicago-facing up to 20yrs in prison. wgme.com/news/local/i...

This is an excellent idea!!!

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

So CBS is just going to be Fox Lite?

If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

America’s still terrified of powerful women in politics. It’s pure misogyny baked into the system. Add race to the mix and it’s on a whole different level of hate that most won’t even admit. Time to get over that shit! Let’s take a step forward on Tuesday. [video: @mollyjongfast.bsky.social ]

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

ICE shooting a food bank worker in the back is a little on the nose for the current moment

My law firm is currently litigating 13 redistricting cases and an additional 50 voting and election cases. 63 lawsuits and those numbers are growing. While this is a lot for a firm with fewer than 60 lawyers, I am proud that we helping to defend free and fair elections and democracy in court.🗳️⚖️💪

What an odd set of options offered in the CBS News Poll. DEI but nothing about democracy or rule of law.👀

Some charts for those who don't know the extent of the US public (and private) investment in research (particularly in biomedical research) compared to other countries and institutions. The destruction of the US' scientific institutions has global implications.

Yes, I’ve been indicted. But I don’t want people to lose sight of what got us here. Thank you for having me, @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @allinwithchris.bsky.social to discuss why these atrocities need to end and why there needs to be real accountability.

At a time when our politics feels broken, we need leaders like @mikiesherrill.bsky.social for Governor. Mikie will work to create jobs, lower costs, and do what’s right for the people of New Jersey.

At some point we might have to consider the fact that he might be mentally unstable.

NBC's new poll say the most important issue for deciding who to support for Congress is: "Protecting constitutional rights/protecting democracy." If you agree, I suggest you subscribe the news outlet that focuses like a laser on just that. Sign up for Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..

It was great being back in Norfolk to help get out the vote for @abigailspanberger.com for Governor. Virginia – Abigail Spanberger cares about your freedoms, she will fight for your rights, and she will work every day to make your life a little bit better.

The crowd tonight in Norfolk, Virginia for Abigail Spanberger and Barack Obama. LET’S GO!!!

I guess someone heard from Tylenol’s lawyers.

Thank you Congressman Neguse for laying it plain.

Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."
