Trump pissed New Jersey off by cancelling something they valued. "A tunnel that would have really helped New Jersey residents commuting into New York City. He killed it out of spite because he's angry at Charles Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries because of the shutdown." www.rawstory.com/trump-267426...

Because this time, we won. And I don’t feel bad about rubbing it in their fucking faces. Not one bit. Maybe that makes me petty. Or maybe it just makes me honest. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Yay Norway!

Mamdani is taking no prisoners. listen to this interview of Lina Khan by @hcrichardson.bsky.social if you’re unfamiliar with what an excellent choice she is for his transition team. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ydxk...

Again, these maps have got to be causing a massive panic in any state where they're considering gerrymandering.

If the administration thinks it has a compelling case to use military force against Venezuela, it should seek authorization from Congress as required by the Constitution. Instead it is trying to convince senators to abdicate their constitutional responsibilities. www.politico.com/live-updates...

There were a lot of factors that drove more white women to vote for Democrats in Virginia, but one of them was reproductive healthcare. 🧵

And they're living it up with dancing girls at Mar-a-Lago and drinking bubbly at the new Café de Rose Garden and hitting companies up for Trump's opulent ballroom and squeezing a 747 from Qatar and selling watches and crypto and sneakers and otherwise making a mint. It shouldn't be hard at all.

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

By refusing to negotiate and ripping away ACA tax credits, Congressional Republicans are putting PROFITS OVER PEOPLE. Working people can't afford even higher healthcare costs. Trump and Congressional Republicans have betrayed the American people. #HealthcareHeist

I'm Jewish, I was born in New York City. My grandparents were immigrants from Europe. My grandfather opened a kosher dairy restaurant in lower Manhattan. Jonathan Greenblatt from the ADL is a bigot who doesn't speak for me. Congratulations, Mayor Mamdani!

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

I missed this one! How sad as even adults were reading it and referencing the good it was doing to inform!

Hello

Trump on Mamdani: “Let's see how he does in New York. We will help him. “We want New York to be successful.” FX: *Screeching handbrake turn*

🤔 🤪 Are aliens involved

Thank you Justice Sotomayor! ✨

Justice Jackson: Congress actually explained to us in its Senate report and House report in the Trading with the Enemy Act (IEEPA's predecessor) that the law allowed the President "to control or freeze property transactions when a foreign interest is involved." Not raise revenue.

Sotomayor notes accurately that no president has ever used IEEPA to justify tariffs. Sauer responds with Nixon's action, which predated IEEPA's existence.

Barrett asks Katyal "if you win," how would the tariff reimbursements work? "Would this be a complete mess?" Katyal responds that the question underlines why this is a major question.

Kavanaugh says that IEEPA would allow Trump to shut down trade with other countries but not impose tariffs. He calls that the "donut hole" in their position. Oregon's SG Gutman replies tariffs are a tax, the other isn't. "It's not a donut hole: It's an entirely different pastry."

Neal Katyal's opening volley against Trump's tariffs: "May it please the court: Tariffs are taxes."

I am no fan of Ackman, but this is how to respond to loss with some level of grace and we should let him rather than constantly dunk

#NewJersey keep the momentum going! Let’s fill Mikie Sherrills congressional seat now that she won the Governor’s race! 💙🎉 @repsherrill.bsky.social @mikiesherrill.bsky.social I can personally vouch for this man’s honesty and integrity! #VoteGrayzel

I am excited to announce my campaign for Congress in New Jersey’s 11th district following an incredible victory for Mikie Sherrill last night! I strive to defend our democracy against the threats we face as a nation and will work tirelessly to protect our community.

This should be super popular right around Thanksgiving

So…a golden ballroom isn’t the way forward? Taxing Americans through tariffs? A marble bathroom? I’m shocked.

I hope they get sandwiches. 🥪

The jury is entering deliberations now. If they come to a verdict today, cool! If not, they’ll be dismissed at 5 and we will return tomorrow for Day 4 of not the simplest case in the history of the world.

Ends by stressing that the jury doesn’t even need to figure out any of the verbs because the government can’t prove the adverb — not w/o the ability to inflict bodily harm. “Your gut should be telling you” (again, don’t think this one was intentional) “throwing a sandwich is not a forcible offense.”

Says assault requires a “reasonable fear of immediate bodily harm,” and none exists given agent’s long-sleeve shirt, long pants, boots, gloves and ballistic vest that is created to “keep you safe from military rifle fire” and so is “definitely going to keep you safe from a sandwich.”

This you?

Remember when Trump said his supporters were “weaklings” for “falling for the Jeffrey Epstein hoax?” Still not a hoax. More ⬇️

😅😂

If you want to know why women get frustrated here is why: Two qualified women win statewide elections for Governor & all people want to talk about is a man winning an election for Mayor. Yeah I would be pissed too.
