Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown. Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

How are we supposed to trust the FBI & DOJ after years of watching Donald Trump denigrate & politicize them? That question was brought into sharp focus by the arrest earlier this week of Brian Cole, Jr., on bomb planting charges. joycevance.substack.com/p/charges-in...

Trump’s economy sucks. 32,000 jobs were lost in the private sector last month. The policies of Trump and rubber stamp Republicans are crushing the American people. And what is Trump focused on? Making his Great Gatsby ballroom even bigger. And sleeping at Cabinet meetings.

@CNN why aren't you showing this?

@maddow I think you should be showing THIS and so should EVERYONE on MS NOW. Top of the hour everyone should see this - every hour. Multiple examples. This is what will get the last of the viewership off the couch and into the voting booths.

@maddow.bsky.social @maddowblog.bsky.social @theweeknightmsnbc.bsky.social @theweekendmsnow.bsky.social HEADS UP - THIS IS HORRIFIC

George Retes is an American citizen and veteran who was unjustly pepper-sprayed, arrested, and imprisoned for three days by ICE. Yet he won't be intimidated by this lawless administration. He's speaking up and telling his story as part of a new $250k @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social campaign. 👇

@carlquintanilla.bsky.social I love when Lori Calvasina of RBC is on the panel. Very informative & knowledgeable.

".. in his return to the presidency this year, Trump has seldom ventured across the country to anywhere other than his own clubs. .. Everyone around Trump, and everything he is seeing on TV and on his phone, is telling him that he’s right."

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - US appeals court rules former Trump lawyer Alina Habba disqualified as New Jersey prosecutor. @apnews.com

ISM Prices Paid: 58.5, highest since September. ISM New Orders: 47.4, lowest since July ISM Employment: 44.0, lowest since August

FT: “The longest ever US government shutdown has created an unprecedented blind spot over the health of the world’s biggest economy as critical data reports are set to be delayed or ditched.” #economy #markets @financialtimes.com

“DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars… Not billion. Half a trillion, $500 billion… In other words, in about eight weeks DOGE managed to lose the U.S. government — more or less light on fire — more than half of what goes to all non-defense discretionary spending.” @joshtpm.bsky.social

Corruption at unprecedented levels with a murderous regime, a mark of totalitarian fascism but: "Blending family and governance" makes it sound like a harmless avocation. #BrokenTimes

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.

QUESTION: Who is your political inspiration? SCHLOSBERG: “In the modern era, I love Nancy Pelosi… the most important female political figure in American history… the backbone of the Democratic Party… the reason we have the Affordable Care Act… she deserves a lot of credit for the example she set.”

No one should have to face such threats. It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

The same guy who "doesn’t want to hear about affordability" posted about his new marble bathroom 7 times last week.

Crockett: Why don't you at least try to look like you're serious about your job and look like you are doing the work of the people and not look like a petulant child and swear her in.

The “thou must starve thy fellow man” commandment must be exclusive to the Trump Bible

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona. Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

A federal appeals court has rejected a last-minute attempt by the Trump administration to block SNAP funding during the government shutdown. Now, in true Trump fashion, Trump is crying to the Supreme Court.

Trump approved a pardon for a retired NY police officer who was sentenced in April to 18 months in prison for his participation in a Chinese government plot to locate, surveil and intimidate a family in the New Jersey suburbs. Will he claim he knows nothing about it? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/u...

Blumenthal to Bondi: "He has been transparent. In fact, 5 days before the indictment of Comey, he put this post up as instructions to you. He didn't mince words. He was very open & public that you should indict Comey and&others because they are 'guilty as hell, no more delay, now.' 5 days before"

Remember how the Trump administration raged about "transgender mice" because of studies involving transgenic mice? Well, the woman who just won the Nobel Prize in Medicine wrote her thesis using transgenic mice.

“.. Lower population growth as the president presses ahead with mass deportations will knock between 0.5 and one percentage points off America’s GDP growth between mid-2025 and mid-2026, according to S&P Global Ratings.” @telegraphnews.bsky.social www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

The most HILLARIOUS thing about Greene's post is that SHE, Ms. Holier Than Thou, IS INFAMOUS for being a PHILANDERING WIFE who spread eagle for a self-described "tantric sex guru" & another gym rat guy in 2012. Not to mention in more recent yrs she was a homewrecker w/Brian Glenn of OAN! 😱

“.. has confided to co-workers that she sees no probable cause to believe James engaged in mortgage fraud, the two sources told MSNBC.” @msnbc.com www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

CBS News staffers react to Bari Weiss being named editor-in-chief: ‘It’s utterly depressing’ ino.to/JqxCQq1

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time. Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense. 🧵

Now you know

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

the smugness of Stephen Miller in dealing with reporters is off the charts

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit. Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages. If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

Trump is sending the National Guard to Chicago, but Chicagoans are already facing raids and intimidation from ICE agents. This weekend, I joined over 700 of our neighbors at a community workshop led by the 40th Ward. (1/2)

Same. #AlsoTiredOfWaitingForTheEPSTEIN_Files

This should be TOP OF HR, EACH NEWS HR. The shutdown is distraction-the only thing to say about THAT is REPUBS RULE HOUSE, SENATE & WH. HOW ARE THEY BLAMING DEMS? BLAME THE REPUBS AMERICA! @abc15.com @abc7.bsky.social @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @cnn.com you all allowed to actually report on this BS?

Another tragic accident.
