From Justice Robert H. Jackson's ruling against Truman's steel mill seizure: “No penance would ever expiate the sin against free government of holding that a President can escape control of executive powers by law through assuming his military role.” www.thebulwark.com/p/founders-t...

the wealthy oligarchs want to control all flow of information to create narratives and beliefs they want to instill into populations, no better illustrated by comparing how elon musks ‘grokipedia’ talks about hitler compared to ‘wikipedia’

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

This year, the CFPB brought the fewest cases against big banks and giant companies for cheating consumers in the history of the CFPB. Trump and his hatchet man Russ Vought are letting grifters and scammers off the hook – and trying to kill the agency that would hold them accountable.

"Starting in the spring and then escalating over the summer, President Donald Trump sent federal troops or 'called up' National Guard units to Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Memphis, Portland, and Chicago...The Founders would be appalled." www.thebulwark.com/p/founders-t...

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath? Character isn't something you tell people about. It's something you live.

Wow, sounds like Jeff Bezos is mad (from A Washington Post editorial entitled "Zohran Mamdani’s victory is bad for New York and the Democratic Party")

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

The nation’s top diplomat: “Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, personally called officials in several countries to threaten financial penalties and other punishments if they continued to support the agreement to cut ship pollution.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/c...

This is what oligarchy looks like: If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break. If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry. Obscene.

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

"Also a backlash to @GlennYoungkin craven decision to cheerlead as Virginians lost their jobs by the thousands. I’ve never seen anything like it, and it will define his term as Governor." - Rep. @jameswalkinshaw.bsky.social (D-VA11) bluevirginia.us/2025/11/thur... h/t @samshirazi.bsky.social

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

No one has figured out the exact scale of the Hispanic vote collapse yet, but I tried to get my arms around it. Read the rest here: www.thebulwark.com/p/2025-elect...

In 2023, I proposed the Illinois Grocery Initiative to lower food prices and provide options in food deserts across the state. www.ksdk.com/article/news...

As I aiways say, it is all about getting more and more for these tech people — so poor all they have is money. And Andreessen is the OG — Original Greed www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Family members of mine are sending their kids to school with their passports—these are U.S. born kids. My Godson, my Goddaughters, they feel like they can't walk around safely in a U.S. city—even though they were born here and are third generation Americans."

Nov 5, 2024 was terrible. But it's not Nov 2024 anymore. Trump is much more unpopular. He, not Biden, is getting blamed for affordability challenges. Democratic voters are much more activated. The "racial realignment" didn't even last a year. newrepublic.com/article/2026...

Fox Propaganda has gone Full George Orwell to cope with last night's ferocious rebuke to Republicans and, especially, Trump.

Inflation on groceries has gotten worse under Trump

There is more that unites us, than divides us

America’s national papers wrote column after column attacking Mamdani. His resounding victory shows these stories aren’t for the average reader—they’re for Post-owner Jeff Bezos and other billionaires. From Harold Meyerson: trib.al/aBYDs1R

The @washingtonpost.com 's home page this morning looks like a dying local paper. Quick, spot the placement for results in the gigantic local election:

Dear @nytopinion.nytimes.com, you’re going to be running multiple ‘Democratic mandate demands Republicans pivot left and compromise to compete in future elections’ pieces, right?

There are 133 counties and county-equivalents in Virginia and New Jersey. In 127 of them, the vote shifted to the Democrats since November 2024. On average, the shift was 6 points to the left.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

It’s official: We just added a Democratic trifecta in Trump’s backyard! This win puts a big obstacle in front of Trump & his MAGA minions. Now it’s up to Governor-elect Spanberger and the new Democratic majority to keep building on that mandate and protect Virginians from their problematic neighbor.

It wasn’t just tonight. Dems have dramatically outperformed 2024 in nearly every special election also in 2025 before tonight. But Republicans still don’t get what is happening out there. Keep enabling all the worst abuses of Trump and many of you will be voted out next.

On Friday, Elon Musk appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast and falsely claimed that the government shutdown was a dispute over blue states diverting billions of dollars in fraudulent federal payments to undocumented immigrants.

But thank god we remodeled the Oval Office to look like a Saudi palace, right?

Damn, this poll is brutal! And it’s going to get worse… The only folks still supporting Trump are MAGA Republicans, and even that won’t last much longer once the fact that Trump is just fine leaving them hungry really sets in. #VoteDemToday

Groypers peddle hate. Antisemitism, anti-Indian smears, anti-Black lies, attacks on women. That kind of hate is antithetical to America. Today, Democratic victories in VA, NJ, & NY will show a different way. An America for all building economic hope & national purpose.

MAGA Communism.

It really doesn’t get enough attention that whoever the dumbest weirdest person in your extended family is that guy is more fit to be President than our actual president

"The Sanders/Mamdani style of democratic socialism is, whatever its merits, at least compatible with America’s tradition of liberal democracy. The Trump style of national socialism is not."

Good to know that Fox segments determine our foreign policy as well as domestic, and provide most of the cabinet appointees.

Trump is trying to abuse National Guard & ICE powers across the country We're proud to be part of the coalitions fighting back Overall we have 200+ cases & matters @democracydefendersfund.org proving the rule of law still works I explained on @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social 👇

🔥 @jensiebelnewsom.bsky.social : “I will not raise my children to think Trump is an acceptable American leader… he’s a con artist, a predator, a malignant narcissist-in-chief, and the worst president in our nation’s history.”

not only does the richest known nazi in the world endorse andrew cuomo but he’s boosting it as a paid ad on twitter

Donald Trump is trying to bully us into silence. He’s abusing his power to create a censorship state. But tomorrow voters in New Jersey, Virginia and all across the nation will show up and make clear - we will not be ruled. The people are still in charge.

Folks, this is another big one in Pennsylvania. Please vote! Spread the word. www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia...
