NEW: The loudest critics of Trump in the judiciary have turned out to be Ronald Reagan-appointees. This week, another — Mark Wolf — joined their ranks, resigning to speak out against the president. I spoke with Judge Wolf today. He’s worried. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

“Given this administration’s track record of weaponizing federal agencies to chase baseless voter-fraud conspiracies and challenge voters’ eligibility. The public should be deeply concerned about what’s being built behind closed doors with their tax dollars and the threat it could pose to voters."

After weaponizing the shutdown to block SNAP benefits for hungry people, the Trump Admin is using the oldest trick in the book to do more of the same. This kind of red tape does nothing to prevent fraud — it just makes it harder for working people to get the benefits they need.

So true, nothing is more deflationary than *checks notes* radically shifting the labor supply curve inward.

By ignoring massive corruption by the fossil fuel industry, and massive wrongful subsidy of fossil fuel by allowing “pollute-for-free” business model, Gates gave aid and comfort to the deniers: “Bill Gates says innovation is going to solve this,” I often heard. www.theatlantic.com/science/2025...

Just reupping this big investigation @jamespwest.bsky.social did into Trump's modeling company: www.motherjones.com/politics/201...

Now that we’ve got more info about the Trump/Epstein connection, what’s next? Rep. @robertgarcia.bsky.social leading Democrat on House Oversight, joins me to answer my questions on the strategy moving forward, incl. depositions of Ghislaine Maxwell and Steve Bannon. youtu.be/ZzNVTrEkgOw?...

The Trump regime just killed a rule protecting millions of acres of western Arctic lands from fossil fuel drilling. It’s yet another giveaway to Big Oil — which spent $450 million backing Trump and Republicans and lobbying Congress last year. Watch: https://youtu.be/aDQXiNlM5iM?si=nZag1nV9sKC_JStQ

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Disney has hiked prices and laid off hundreds of workers this year. Yet Disney paid its CEO $41B in 2024. It just reported a 36% increase in net profits for parks and streaming. And it plans to double stock buybacks next year. Remember this as Disney turns to AI.

“From the beginning, this case has been about trying to intimidate me, stop me from doing oversight, and keep me from doing my job. It will not work.”

For more on Rev. Woolf, who appears to have been arrested today: he published an editorial with @rns.org literally this week titled “Why clergy should risk assault to protest ICE” —> religionnews.com/2025/11/13/w...

Religious freedom to be shoved face forward into pavement.

The priest I showed being arrested earlier via Reuters tiktok live.

Hispanic American women can't go to Home Depot without masked men pointing guns into their cars. This is a violent threat and is illegal.

Awful: Trump's boat bombings are now being justified by a new legal memo that relies on WH's own determinations as evidence. Memo also says people can't be prosecuted for the killings. But that reveals WH knows there's legal vulnerability here, Ds tell me. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2032...

In a memo promising legal immunity for those who kill alleged drug traffickers, the Trump administration floated an unusual legal theory.

How about instead of selling "bearista" cups, Starbucks bargains a fair contract with its unionized baristas? No contract. No coffee. Don't cross the picket line. Solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org ✊

@jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social: "Do you think that JD Vance is a fascist?" @petebuttigieg.bsky.social: "If it's convenient for him to be a fascist, he'll be a fascist." #TribFest2025

Kidnapping people off the street is not something law enforcement does in a “free country.” Trump claims that ICE agents are here to keep our country safe, but all they’ve done is infect our communities with racism, violence, and fear.

"What I have said repeatedly is that the path to authoritarianism in this country is being built on the backs of immigrants. They will begin with immigrants. They will not end with immigrants." -NILC President Kica Matos https://n.pr/47LOL6q

NEW: FBI Director Kash Patel granted waivers to Deputy Director Dan Bongino and two newly hired senior FBI staff, exempting them from polygraph exams normally required to gain access to America’s most sensitive classified information, officials said.

Cook County deputies, Illinois State Police, and Broadview police just arrested at least 8 to 10 people, including several faith leaders. State police in riot gear now arriving.

It's hard to overstate what a disaster Kash Patel is. See the many disturbing details here, from @vermontgmg.bsky.social, an expert on the FBI. "The longer this chaos continues," he writes, "the more likely we’re going to face a catastrophic intelligence failure." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Scoop from @abbyvesoulis.bsky.social & me: new docs obtained by @weareoversight.bsky.social show DHS trying to obtain drivers license data from all 50 states to weaponize Trump’s false claims of voter fraud & possibly remove voters from rolls before midterms www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Officials in the Trump regime will never miss an opportunity to cash in on their own cruelty.

Diana Santillana Galeano, the Chicago day care worker detained in front of children last week, has been released. “I am so grateful to everyone who has advocated on my behalf, and on behalf of the countless others who have experienced similar trauma over recent months in the Chicago area"

Murphy: "It's clearly the biggest scandal in presidential history. He wouldn't be acting this way if he wasn't so deeply worried about what's in those files. What we've already seen is immensely incriminating. Clearly Trump was at the center of a child sex ring ... the scandal could bring him down."

Happening now: clergy protest ICE detention center in Chicago. “Why are you still here? Greg Bovino already left.” “It’s an internment camp…no medicine…toilets don’t work”

HOLY SCOOP: FBI Director Kash Patel Waived Polygraph Security Screening for Dan Bongino, Two Other Senior Staff @williamturton.bsky.social @chrisbing.bsky.social

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms: ✅He personally directs criminal investigations. ✅He is targeting opponents. ✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents. Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

Priests being arrested

NIH scientist Dr. Jenna Norton was just placed on nondisciplinary leave. She led a team who wrote a sign-on letter critical of The Regime. A person at NIH asked to give a reason for her leave called her “radical leftist”; while the NIH Director has claimed that “dissent is productive”.

President Trump is not above the law. His pardons for allies who tried to overturn the 2020 election are a threat to our democracy.

These tomato pickers earn 86 cents per 25 lb bucket. On an average day a worker fills around 170 buckets --or more than 4000 pounds of tomatoes picked by hand. The fruit is picked green so it ripens red by the time it reaches your store. #WeFeedYou

November 14th is the birthday of Anthony Hines. He died at 38, killed in a verbal altercation in Oklahoma City, OK. He was a beloved father, son, and friend. Hardworking with a positive attitude, Anthony was a skilled cook, enjoyed creating new dishes, and dreamed of owning his own food truck.

US Catholic bishops condemn Trump admin's immigration enforcement "'We are troubled by threats against the sanctity of houses of worship and the special nature of hospitals and schools,' the bishops said in a special message, the first of its kind in 12 years." www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Families are already paying too much for energy. Now Big Tech's data centers want to drive costs even higher. I'm urging @ferc.gov to stop unjust utility rate hikes—corporate greed has no place on your power bill.

The Border Patrol agent was the same one seen arresting a US citizen in Los Angeles at a Walmart

Listen to this Border Patrol agent cry about how he's going to be DOXXED after being arrested for drunkenly barging into a woman's restroom with a loaded gun, demanding a date from the woman inside, and then punching the arresting officers.

The biggest little scandal in Washington right now? How bad Kash Patel is at his job.

Exchanges about Trump between a reporter and Epstein raise questions about what the New York Times knew and when.

BREAKING: A new prosecutor has taken over the Trump case in Georgia, keeping it alive in time for a Nov. 14 deadline. Trump's lawyer Steve Sadow: "We remain confident that a fair and impartial review will lead to a dismissal of the case against President Trump."

Here in Broadview, outside Chicago, a large group of faith leaders & protesters have gathered this morning outside of ICE’s detention center. This looks like one of the largest protests on Beach St. in weeks, where the city of Broadview is still enforcing a small “free speech” zone. It’s packed.
