WSJ: Fannie Mae watchdogs who were removed from their jobs had been probing if Trump appointee Bill Pulte had improperly obtained mortgage records of key Democratic officials, including New York Attorney General Letitia James. www.wsj.com/finance/regu...

We really are the stupidest country on earth to have this shutdown insanity at all. “…air traffic controllers are “excepted” from furloughs and work without pay during the shutdown.” Whoever thought that up is as dumb as Rump and his Doge boys.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs. So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract. Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

It is incredible — the blind spots you develop when you’ve never, ever been poor.

99% of Americans never need the fire department, and yet they pay taxes to keep this sham going EVERY MONTH

“They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs” by buying health insurance is so fucking funny, man

If he thinks that bad, wait til he sees how few people file claims for auto, fire, and flood insurance.

It's impossible to build any more housing in America, but luckily we have the politically easy and physically effortless alternative of just removing a third of the population. This clown is the GOP chair in Tarrant County, Texas, the third largest county in the state.

ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler. "He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!" Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child. Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.

No idea why people keep saying this is socialism. When Trump says "us" he isn't talking about Novo Nordisk giving a piece of the company to the US government, he's talking about them giving a piece of the company to him and his crooked ass sons.

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

Just cancelled Wired, telling them why and that I’ll gladly renew if Conde Nast rehires those they fired.

trying to imagine the person that goes, "man, it's really important that i vote, i gotta keep steve bannon out of prison"

It's not even strictly partisan, Democrats who suck up to him can get in on it too (Blagojevich did, good chance Menendez will). No need for any pretense a prosecution was flawed in some way. It's official policy that Trump just straight-up hates the idea corruption should be illegal and punished.

Oh wow, this has been driving me crazy for the past couple of weeks. Just occurred to me…could it be the shutdown? Now I feel better! Madly blocking calls and taking a stand against the GOP.

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

One of the largest school districts in Texas, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, has come to be dominated by the Christian right. But conservative board members lost 3 seats last night to a slate of candidate running on separating church and education: www.houstonpress.com/news/progres...

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care. And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

Someone who had been threatening to kill Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) was arrested today after trying to enter the Capitol complex after telling Garcia's office he was coming to kill him.

Politicians should probably get on Bluesky to get better in touch with the American electorate.

Union-backed candidates are leading all four races for the Denver Public Schools’ Board of Education, with two incumbents trailing, according to early election results.

I just want to point out that the asshole and his minions have normalized: 1) taking bribes and gifts from foreign countries 2) pump and dump stock and crypto schemes and massive insider trading 3) killing fishermen in international waters with no proof or basis to do so 4) threatening to annex

An exchange from President Trump's interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes" about accusations of corruption involving his family's crypto empire was not included in the extended version the network shared online www.axios.com/2025/11/03/t...

This FT account of pure thuggishness of Trump representatives posing as diplomats has not appeared in US media anywhere, but is being widely circulated and reported in media in Europe, the UK and the Asia Pacific area. Be sure to read it all.

The daily show did it! www.youtube.com/shorts/D-GbZ...

it is not remarked upon enough that these guys just genuinely and sincerely hate america and hate americans

Remember, they're currently arguing that Biden's pardons are illegitimate because he signed the actual forms with an autopen. Trump, meanwhile, repeatedly insists he knows nothing at all about one of his very controversial pardons. Never heard of the guy! Sorta seems like a problem.

The War Powers Resolution was Congress’s attempt to rein in the quasi-legal military authority that had been accumulated by the presidency. It was passed in response to Nixon’s secret bombing of Cambodia, Operation Menu, which was *drumroll* an airstrike campaign.

Jake Tapper would have driven to the White House with a gun if Biden had said this

The Trump admin is rewriting disability eligibility rules. Changes would fall disproportionately on some of Trump's most loyal supporters in red states. Most affected would be 50- to 60-year-olds without a high school or college education who have, for decades, toiled in physically grueling jobs.

“They were careless people …they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness.”

I'm all for this, where do I sign! ✍️😉📣

Oh, some SNAP recipients are breaking the law with their benefits? Well, I have some super upsetting news for you about our entire national government.

I see that Microsoft's development team have made another update to Outlook.

“Being a DACA recipient is the worst it’s ever been. The uncertainty of the program has left many of us creating back-up plans if we are detained or deported.”

The @chicago.suntimes.com is demanding that the Department of Homeland Security remove social posts using the newspaper's photos without permission. Story from @vimiller.bsky.social: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Undocumented people aren't eligible for food stamps, yet I guarantee that if you arrived at their door hungry, they would share their food with you.

There are three things that have saved more lives, by far, than anything else human have done. They are sanitation, winter wheat, and vaccinations. Stopping one of those things is ... BEYOND idiotic. If the Republicans were campaigning on a platform of "abolish sewers," what would you say to that?

The great journalists at @propublica.org did the hard work to compile a list of US citizens who have been detained by ICE. Kristi Noem is a liar. And a sadist (remember her CECOT glamor shots?) And a fool. And a puppy killer. www.propublica.org/article/immi...

We saw actual video of ICE seizing an entire apartment building in Chicago They arrested dozens of people-including citizens And detained children after binding their hands with zip-ties Yet, in Orwellian fashion, Kristi Noem tells us to reject the evidence of our eyes and ears
