South Carolina looks at most restrictive abortion bill in the US #scnews

This guy got just $628 M out of $2.04B and feels super-rich! If guys like Elon, Thiel, Trump etc. paid even half that much in taxes on THEIR billions, they'd scream bloody murder and claim to be in the poor house.

It's a revealing moment... J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost. The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

We don’t have to choose — we can win the midterms *AND* build a Democratic Party that actually fights for us: indivisible2026.org/?utm_source=bluesky

Michelle Obama: “Don't even look at me about running, because you all are lying. “You're not ready for a woman. So don't waste my time. We got a lot of growing up to do.”

📽️VIDEO: Trump has tried to keep the Epstein files hidden — but could his fear of their release be far more influential than we realize? Marc Elias explains what the released emails reveal and how the political gridlock may have been a diversion all along.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Forget extending the tax credits, now the Republicans are talking getting rid of the Affordable Care Act completely... youtu.be/xj7_wMIxHjo

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte. ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018. We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

Massachusetts AG Campbell: What you heard from the president and the speaker is total bullshit. Let’s take a step back. Never in the history of this country — during a war or an emergency shutdown — has the federal government ever stopped funding SNAP benefits for our most vulnerable.

I don’t think US taxpayers should subsidize treason against the United States

Charlotte NC: citizens are saying no to the deployment of ICE in their cities. #ResistFascim #ProudBlue

#ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles stand up for the victims.

Homeland Security posted this message on X. I have never seen an official government agency’s account insulting its citizens for performing their rights in protesting inhumane and racist detentions. It’s unsettling to say the least.

A second time?

Don't let the salacious stories about Trump, Epstein and even Bill Clinton distract us from his catastrophic policies-which are ruining America 22 million people poised to lose health insurance An anticipated 51,000 deaths per year Immigrants-and citizens-brutalized by ICE We MUST remain focused

A veto-proof House requires 290 votes. If we get this, or more in the House (and the momentum is certainly building) – the Republican Senators will feel dramatic pressure to do the same (67 votes). Release the Epstein files!

So Stephen Colbert's show *does* get cancelled because he didn't flatter Trump. And Megyn R. Kelly's show *doesn't* get cancelled because she tried to dismiss & normalize pedophilia. That's the morally topsy-turvy country we are currently living in.

NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body." Even so, he said, “the cruelty that goes on that facility … must be 100 times worse." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

From Political Nation on FB: Trump pardoned the fake electors at the federal level but he has no power over the state level. Affected states fake electors are reviving their cases. NV, MI, AZ & GA have revived their cases. #ProudBlue www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

About halfway through. Excellent! Recommending to family and friends.

Why did the nation that used Christianity to justify slavery, ethnic cleansing of indigenous populations, racial segregation, homophobia and preemptive war elect a dumb racist crook who's the opposite of everything Jesus taught? Is that the question?

If they have not done so already, the House subcommittee on oversight and accountability should call Michael Wolff to speak under oath in a public hearing. And they should subpoena all of his Epstein-related email records.

Chicago moms and teachers created a “walking school bus” to safely escort kids to school to support parents afraid to leave their homes. ❤️‍🩹 🚌 ❤️‍🩹

Before anyone gets too carried away here.

I’d like to add that Donald Trump is holding office unconstitutionally. The plain text of the 14th amendment forbids him from holding any federal office.

This administration is working overtime to deny Donald Trump’s involvement with Jeffrey Epstein — but the American people aren’t buying it. It's time for a real investigation. It’s time to release the full Epstein Files, like Trump promised during his campaign.

TENNESSEAN: “Ethics complaint filed claiming 8 Senators ― including @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty ― violated conflict of interest rules by supporting a provision allowing them to sue the government for millions…” (Finally they cover this story! 👏🏽) www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

Missouri voters have the power to veto the state’s new GOP congressional gerrymander at the ballot box – but national Republicans are ramping up their efforts to stop them from having the final word. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner on my show made it clear that Trump's lies about Epstein's child sex ring is what prosecutors call "consciousness of guilt" youtu.be/BKvMda7aEo4?...

Special shoutout to Megyn Kelly and every sick, twisted MAGA defending Trump ~ You are disgusting. This was NEVER about protecting our children, you lying hypocrites.

“The targeting of non-citizens is only really a way to normalize the targeting…of everybody.” -Jason Stanley, Professor, University of Toronto, speaking to @velshi.com

My teenagers can’t get a ticket to the Running Man remake on their own, but sure, they’re consenting adults when it comes to sex. There’s not enough pepper spray in the world for these creeps

Republican lawmakers have been the primary opposition to child marriage bans across multiple states. Between 2000 and 2018 around 300,000 minors were married in the United States, with 60,000 of those marriages involving an age difference that would otherwise be considered a sex crime. #EpsteinFiles

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2
