It was a *good* idea for Democrats to release these emails today not because they deeply implicate Trump; but because it makes it much, much harder for him to pardon Maxwell.

I’m so tired of bad people getting away with doing bad things.

Federal Plaza, 2:30 PM. See you there.

Epstein assaulted Maria Farmer and her sister Annie. Kidnapped her. Threatened her life (via Ghislaine Maxwell). Maria reported this to the FBI, which did nothing, to Vanity Fair magazine, which didn’t print the information as a favor to Epstein. Now she has contacted writer Ellie Leonard:

Told ya. There it is. www.levernews.com/airlines-fav...

The Trump Administration's lack of duty, responsibility, or leadership to address the climate crisis is an abomination and a disgrace. California remains a stable and reliable partner in low-carbon, green growth.

Trump is a liar. Tear gassing kids in peaceful neighborhoods makes no one safer. He cannot steal credit from our violence prevention and law enforcement efforts that have reduced crime for four years straight — long before his masked agents showed up. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

This is an interesting announcement — especially given his social media savvy and willingness to take both Trump and his uncle to the woodshed. Super wealthy district that elected Nadler for decades. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/n...

California is a global climate powerhouse. At #COP30 today, I met with leaders from around the world to double down on our work to confront the climate crisis, create good-paying jobs, and help protect Californians from natural disasters exacerbated by climate change.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

a man who has starved and/or withheld lifesaving medical assistance from hundreds of thousands of people thinks Joyce Carol Oates is mean.

I grew up thinking the bottom could fall out at any moment. Too many folks feel that way right now. We need Senators that get it - and vote like they give a damn.

The president can't pardon cronies facing state charges. He's trying anyway.

🚨BREAKING: At long last, Mike Johnson will swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva on Wednesday at 4 pm ET.

The days of thanking veterans today and forgetting them tomorrow has to come to an end.

I just issued an executive order to develop a veteran food pantry network to provide food support for veterans, service members, and their families. Regardless of what happens at the federal level, Minnesota remains committed to providing for those who protect our freedom.

A real president does this. Thank you to every veteran who’s worn the uniform and carried the weight for the rest of us — just respect 🇺🇸

This week, I finally reached my limit for bad news. A few days ago, something showed up on my timeline (I can’t even remember exactly what, to be honest), and it was as if my already fragile psyche broke... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/im-devasta...

In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.

INGRAHAM: “Why are people saying they’re anxious about the economy?” TRUMP: “The polls are fake 🤥. The economy is the strongest ever 🤥. We have $20 Trillion coming in 🤥 . Largely because of the tariffs 🤥.” Every sentence is a lie.

Come join with others to stand against Trump's political prosecutions, against ICE's attacks on our communities, and for freedom of speech and the right to protest. See you tomorrow.

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

A planned supersized floating wind turbine with two spinning heads will generate nearly double the amount of energy as the current record-holder

On Veterans Day, we honor those who served and commit to serving them in return — not just in words, but in actions. Affordability and a real commitment to mental health are essential to ensure that every veteran can build a future here in New York City.

BREAKING: The UK has stopped sharing intelligence with the US on suspected drug-trafficking ships in the Caribbean, saying it won’t be complicit in strikes it believes are illegal-CNN

Hey, it takes a lot of money to fill those numbered accounts in Switzerland--and turn the White House into Caesars Palace.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

"Nobody should have any illusions. The United States has essentially a one-party system and the ruling party is the business party." Noam Chomsky

““It was Black people in the military, many of whom were enslaved persons, who freed this nation because of the Civil War,” Smith told The Informer. “It is because of Black soldiers that we have the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution.””

Today I wrote about the Trump’s latest effort to pardon his election denier henchmen. While we may be focused on the shutdown, Trump continues to subvert democracy and target free and fair elections. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to expose just this. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

A reminder that there is a lot of ongoing litigation around the drawing (and redrawing) of congressional maps. My firm is currently involved in more than a dozen cases in 10 states: AL, CA, GA, LA, MO, NC, NY, TX, VA and WI. Subscribe to Democracy Docket to stay informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Should be a huge news story. Again, why is Maxwell getting special treatment? Why is she in a minimum security camp? How come Trump didnt rule out a pardon? Where are the Epstein Files? www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

As we ramp up our lawsuits against Republicans lawlessness, voter suppression and election subversion, More and more GOP officials, activists and supporter are attacking me on social media and on video. Understand that they hate me because I fight. I wear their scorn like a badge of honor.

Yes, I’m disappointed by the capitulation, but the Democrats can continue to expose the Trump Republicans’ cruelty and hostility toward working people struggling to get by—especially when they fail to pass a standalone vote on healthcare subsidies.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months" China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

MSNBC just announced that Grijalva will be sworn in as the first order of business in the House on Wednesday (Ali Vitali).

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Since 2020, I have been fighting for mail-in voting and the GOP has been fighting against it. A critical court case is now going before the U.S. Supreme Court. I can assure you that I will be there fighting hard to ensure every lawful ballot counts.
