SO THIS JUST HAPPENED One of Trump's lawyers is still smart enough not to tell a Lie in court . BUT WHO IS PAYING ATTENTION ❓

NEW: While major statewide elections and ballot measures captured national attention this week, local elections also delivered on some crucial pro-democracy victories. Check out all of the small — but mighty — election wins you may have missed👇 https://bit.ly/4nNbmoN

He was just mad because someone else was getting the attention due to him.

Happy #Caturday to those who celebrate.

Republicans are ON THE RUN: While House and Senate Democrats are in Washington working on behalf of the American people to find a bipartisan path forward, House Republicans are not in D.C. but on vacation and refusing to work!

 Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

Maybe a big story, Trump literally was slumped over and sleeping during yesterday's White House conference?

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

I can hear it in the air tonight …

Steve Bannon: If we lose the midterms and we lose 2028, some in this room are going to prison, myself included.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

Oh hello there little one. ❤️ More details Friday.

The sandwich guy jury has begun to deliber-ATE sorry not sorry

Neal Katyal is an American hero.

Mike Johnson: "What happened last night is blue states and blue cities voted blue. We all saw that coming. And no one should read too much into last night's election results."

I’m off to SCOTUS, where the justices are to consider at 10a whether Trump’s tariffs are illegal — or, if they’re legal, whether they are unconstitutional. Send me good wishes and, for more caffeine to get through this day, subscribe to Law Dork. www.lawdork.com

Republicans who think your seat is safe: no it's not

Holy shit! Another huge Democratic win.

We took out the LAST Republican on the Orlando City Council!!! Congrats to Commisioner-Elect Tom Keen! And thanks to all of our volunteers and Organizers that knocked hella doors and spent all day today on the phone to Get Out The Vote!

We have the first result of any of the 190+ races on my cheat sheet, and it's from Florida. The only Republican on Orlando's city council has lost his reelection bid: Jim Gray was defeated by Democrat Tom Keen.

With all these extrajudicial boat murders, we have a president who is not only an adjudicated rapist, but also an unapprehended serial killer.

Have you needed veterinary attention for a beloved pet in recent years and noticed higher costs for vaccines & routine exams? It's no coincidence: Billionaires are burning you. ⏰Check out my recent article in @thenation.com: www.thenation.com/article/soci... 📖Then read www.burnedbybillionaires.com

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?"

We've got you 👍

I guess if we know which wrestling event his girlfriend is singing the national anthem at this weekend we will know where the FBI Director will be with our jet.

if lore is to be believed, fred astaire used to dance and glide around his tailor's workshop before taking a suit home to make sure the collar always stayed glued to his neck

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Trump just held a Gatsby-themed party at Mar-a-Lago, which proves a) he doesn’t give a shit about the millions of Americans starving without food stamps and b) no one has told him how The Great Gataby ends

He has threatened to annex Canada & Greenland, conduct strikes in Mexico, Venezuela & now Nigeria. He has orchestrated 50+ extrajudicial killings. No evidence provided for his actions. He is openly enriching himself and his billionaire donors while waging war against the working class. 1/3

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. Read the story that he wanted dropped:

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both" Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

Still here. Not going anywhere. #RadioFreeAmerica

WWJD about SNAP John 6:10-12 Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. When they had all had enough to eat, He said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.”

The unthinkable has happened. Through generations of service under administrations from both parties, America's food assistance program has never been allowed to fail U.S. families—until today, and this Trump shutdown.

5 *local* elections you may not know about! 1. Dems trying to flip the conservative school board in CO's Douglas County 2. Seattle's prosecutor race: boltsmag.org/city-attorne... 3. the sheriff race in Bucks County, PA 4. the labor referendum in Olympia, WA 5. ICE stakes in Albuquerque

I'm not a Nobel winning economist, but it seems to me the world's largest retailer and the worlds largest delivery services laying off hundreds of thousands right before the busiest retail and delivery season of the year is perhaps not an optimistic indicator of Trump's promised "Golden Age"

It’s good news that the courts are forcing the Trump admin to release funds for SNAP. However, the fact that a court order was even needed is emblematic of the moral rot in DC. This admin insists on playing political games with peoples’ lives.

If nothing else, this confirms the fact that he has absolutely no sense of self-awareness. He's feasting in a room full of rich people while people in this country go without food and healthcare. Welcome to the let-them-eat-cake phase of his reign.
