Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

A majority of the days the government has ever been shut down, Donald Trump was president. www.howtoreadthisch.art/red-versus-b...

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine. We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

$40B of your money to this guy, so he can dance at CPAC at Mar-a-Lago while Americans wait for their paychecks, hoping the money actually comes.

Phillip Lewis, a 72-year-old cancer patient, said he was woken up and marched outside his home in his robe and underwear before federal officers even checked his ID. He was not, it turned out, the man they were looking for. By @wendicthomas.bsky.social & @kathsburgess.bsky.social

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

They do not have a plan, they’ve never had a plan. They’ve also never had the votes to repeal the ACA which is *OVERWHELMINGLY* popular, nor have they been able to get the Supreme Court to overturn it, so instead they’ve just shut down the entire government to try forcing Dems to stop funding it.

Meet Greg Bovino, Trump's "commander at large" for ICE You need to know about the man leading Trump's secret police

Don’t miss New Mexico’s incredible achievement in establishing universal free childcare. First state in the US to do so.

We will not let Minnesotans go hungry.

Until the end of the government shutdown, our campaign will be donating $2,500 a month to a food pantry in the Ninth District. And to my fellow candidates, I challenge you to do the same:

Stop counting, everyone. Congress has been dissolved. Start getting angry because you don’t have representation anymore.

No ballistic evidence. No one hit. No injuries. No damage from gunfire. Local cops can’t find a “crime scene.” DHS claims shots were fired. I don’t believe them. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Make poisoning babies great again.

Underrated aspect of killing the filibuster is making pundit hacks at Cook Political p-p-p-piss their pants

When Democrats lose an election, we beat ourselves up over it for months. When Republicans lose an election, they convince themselves within 24 hours that they really won.

Absolutely sadistic. A Dem Congress should pass a law banning anyone who is currently serving with ICE or CBP from future Fed employment. The Feds should condition all future Fed grants to police depts on blanket refusals to hire ppl who were in ICE/CBP right now.

FOX: So you would ask Speaker Johnson to recall the House? GOP REP. KEVIN KILEY: Not only would I, I've asked him to do it repeatedly. There's no justification. And honestly, it's Republican voters who should be most upset about this when they delivered a GOP majority and now that's being wasted

Federal agents as militias. Home Depot parking lots as killing fields. The People's House demolished. These photos defy sanitized language and show us what American fascism looks like. readingthepictures.media/p/images-of-...

You know Bovino is a liar but it’s always nice when it’s documented in the official record for posterity’s sake.

Hi. Remember when tariffs meant we wouldn’t have to pay taxes. That didn’t seem to work out. Pretty sure the regime will ax your healthcare and then those thousands of dollars will just never show up. Just like all the promises behind tariffs.

Oh, we finally found Trump’s healthcare plan! It’s: kick everyone off their insurance, send them a couple thousand dollars, and wish them luck with their medical bills. Wouldn’t universal healthcare be far easier if you truly don’t like the “big, bad” insurance companies?

OVER A MILLION USERS DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT EVERY *WEEK* what the fuck are we DOING here

This is a house in Northwest Indiana, not a battlefield in Iraq. There are SEVEN armed & masked agents prowling through here with weapons drawn looking for a ....mom and her daughter. The story only gets worse from there...

MSNBC: Where's the urgency to end this shutdown in Washington? JEFFRIES: That's a great question. It should be asked of Mike Johnson. Where's the urgency in actually bringing the House back into session? They have canceled votes for the last 6 weeks.

“During the call, the anonymous representative told a group of faith leaders and activists that ‘There is no more prayer in front of building or inside the building because this is the state and it’s not [of a] religious background.’” These cowards can’t even talk to clergy face-to-face.

Right-wing accounts on X have been spreading a baseless conspiracy theory accusing a former Capitol Police officer of planting the J6 pipe bombs. Amid all that, Ed Martin posted a thread that spelled out “P I P E ?” He later deleted some of the tweets and then posted this on his DOJ account:

“He’s having a seizure and they’re trying to rip the baby out of her hands”

Jackson is trying to pull off a win here for SNAP. Just hold on and let her do her work. She’s been a consistent ally and she’s earned our trust. She knows what she’s about.

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business. -if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her. -if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet. -instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

We’ve gotten to the point where our government is a corporatocracy and labels anything that is a public good “socialism.” So just assume that if it’s sold as socialist, you, the enslaved masses, should 1,000% support it. That shit is yours and you earned it.

Theresa Gillespie Isom, a North Mississippi Democrat, won a special election for Mississippi Senate District 2, flipping a Republican-held seat. Her victory helped Democrats break the Republican Party’s supermajority for the first time in 13 years.

Once you accept that the goal might be the compete economic, political and societal collapse of America, it starts to make sense. This was always a hostile takeover that effectively sells America for parts and leaves us decimated as a failed state while the trillionaires retire to their bunkers.

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

This is in part how Russia wrecked their economy and started starving their people. By being stupid enough to double down on fossil fuels while the rest of the world moved on.

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

The man who took food and medicine from the world’s poorest people, condemning thousands to a miserable death, is the world’s first trillionaire.

MIKE JOHNSON'S SERGEANT AT ARMS TRIES TO KICK REP. MAXINE DEXTER (D-OR) OUT OF CAPITOL ROTUNDA

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

It's been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.
