It’s also important to reject his rebuttal that “he’s just asking questions.” No one who doesn’t deeply hate women even remotely thinks of a question like that. No one. It’s a statement about your personal views even if you smirk and add a question mark at the end.

He’s not even good at lying because everyone knows we’ve been talking about health care for the entire month. He just knows if he let there be a vote on health insurance subsidies, it’d pass with bipartisan support.

Seems that Donald's "irrefutable fact" was refutable after all . . .

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”

Watching RFK jr run away from someone collapsing feels like a harbinger of things to come

Remember DNC, it doesn't matter who you run, Fox news will call them a socialist. You could endorse the corpse of Ronald Reagan and their first segment would be "Extreme socialist Reagan picked by Soros to destroy America" Stop caring what fox news says, and listen to your base. It clearly works.

Reposting this to get it before more eyes.

Did the New York Times ruin journalism?

"Tuesday, a majority — yes, a goddamn majority — of eligible voters agreed with me. These people spent 8 months living in a woke-free America and collectively decided, 'We don’t want this.' What we DO want is to be left the f—k alone." via @drewmagary.bsky.social www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

I LOVE this!

Yes. The answer is yes. At least it's ruined (most of) the editorial page.

Page One. @theguardian.com #ICE

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field. In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront. By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

👀 WOW — “Speaker Johnson is stalling Grijalva until Van Epps gets there to cancel out her vote?” TN-7 nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social tells us Johnson plans for Van Epps to help him cover up the Epstein files. (His weak answer to NC5 is another clue🕵️ )

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world: 'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..." chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

Well this is cool.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to our analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. (Published February)

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Yes, better late than never I guess. Would that he had noticed, maybe, last year.

The Mississippi state legislature begs to differ. 😏

Amarillo is one of the reddest towns in Texas. But I showed up because our campaign is not writing off any community. It was standing room only.

I better see no less than six stories this week in the NYT about Mamdani voters talking about their economic anxiety in Brooklyn diners and what the GOP can do to win them back.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103. 12 days of work in 103 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

I'm so over these "journalists"... what even is this question?

despite everything i believe there is a critical mass of americans that want fair play, love their neighbors, believe in the immigrant dream of america, and don’t give a shit who you marry. they just haven’t been mobilized. maybe they will be. i dunno. but tonight did not suck.

We are strongest because we reflect the diversity of the nation. Stop trying to engineer the “perfect” type. Start recruiting people who can actually connect with the people in front of them. Tip O’Neill was right then and he’s right now - All politics is (& remains) LOCAL. #Election2025

For the record: I'm not tired of winning.

In light of these electoral wins, Senate Democrats should NOT give up their leverage on the ACA. Call them!

It would also really help if the Democratic Party invested in off-year full-time organizers in red States. Those are the people who will tell you what messages and policies aren't just liked but actually popular and motivating. It's also the only way you build the bench in red States.

Starting to think, perhaps, Donald Trumps election was not, actually, a mandate, or a change in American values, and there’s actually no reason to shift our policies or politics to the right to appease imaginary people in any way whatsoever.

Between Mamdani and Trump only one of them wants to seize the means of production, and it is Trump.

“Shame on you!”

The 60 Minutes interview, in which Nora O’Donnell let Trump blather on with lie after lie without fact-checking him or pushing back, is a reminder of why we need journalists who will hold him accountable rather than just giving him a platform to spread lies.

Bernie Sanders is the reason Tulsi Gabbard and John Fetterman became a thing and he’s now trying to do the same with Graham Platner. He needs to go away.

We could fund over four months of SNAP benefits with the $40 billion Argentina received.

Something Dems (especially natsecs types) need to get through their thick skulls is the only way we might come back from this internationally is if the accountability for it is swift, broad, and punishing Politicals, career type, in or out of govt c. 2029, no matter the rank, they all need to fry

"If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter." --Brett Kavanaugh, Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...

St. Peter at the Pearly Gates: Did you live by the Ten Commandments? Mike Johnson: I have no idea. I have not seen those

GOP-led states are blocking college students from registering to vote with campus addresses. In the context of broader attacks on vote-by-mail and early voting, these efforts will systematically disenfranchise young people across the US. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

None of this is popular. None of this is popular. None of this is popular.

This is quite a story: the US employed every strongarm tactic available, including personal threats against delegates and their families, to derail an agreement on reducing shipping emissions that was almost finalized. on.ft.com/47lq3dZ

Something that jumped out to me about ProPublica's exposé on Paul Newby, chief justice of the South Carolina Supreme Court, was not just the extremes Republicans go to in order to capture the courts but the extremes to *keep the media from talking about it!* ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

Are you listening, NYC?

If you're going to rely on "strong assurances" from Republicans then you're stupid and weak and you should resign. There is only one path to getting Democratic assistance with anything: the House reopens, swears in Adelita Grijalva, then passes an acceptable budget. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

We've got you 👍
