Don’t miss this misogyny gem. So glad all these men are still influential in our society and promoted by other men so our “papers of record” can ask with a straight face whether women have ruined everything for men or not

In another era, ICE raids would be described as persecution of Catholics.

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...

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police. It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

Some personal news: I have been financially supporting a family member in a mental health crisis which has spiraled into a financial disaster. I would like to keep doing progressive activism but I can no longer pay rent for myself and my two kids. Please help if you can. Thank you very much.

But. As always, pointless, annoying, gun-wielding National Guard troops standing around wasting time and money.

Ukraine facing widespread power cuts after generating capacity reduced to ‘zero’ by Russian attacks

$40 Billion to Argentina so Milei can dance like Trump at Mar-a-lago but they’re suing not to feed hungry Americans and they’ll let your health care premiums skyrocket

“These are people who did everything by the book, paid taxes, had no criminal records, opened businesses and contributed to their communities...now they have become collateral damage in this cruel, unjust and inhumane political game.” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Thx for sharing bc when I saw the. EWS item this morning I started swear at SCOTUS. AGAIN.

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

NYT: The tax cuts come amid “steep cuts to health care for the elderly and food stamps for the poorest Americans.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/b...

In honor of Viktor Orban's visit to Washington, here's a reminder that Orban has made his country corrupt, stagnant, and impoverished: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

An absolute must watch. A legal hero. Todd Blanche is a monster. youtube.com/shorts/oK1Ug...

The failure of legal actions to fight corruption at the highest levels of government reinforces the need for legislation and other congressional actions. Our latest report offers recommendations for strengthening the Constitution’s Emoluments Clauses: bit.ly/3XdgCaq

The reduction in flight availability is due to the fact that air traffic controllers are not being paid during the Trump government shutdown. But guess who is still being paid? Republican legislators and ICE and CBP officers.

Watch to the end

"However terrible the war and its consequent famine in Sudan is today, it can still get much worse" From Alex de Waal, who knows Sudan better than anyone www.foreignaffairs.com/guest-pass/r...

The young man describes how soldiers brought in from abroad are relegated to the most lethal positions, as denoted by their colored arm bands:

We need this to penetrate public consciousness. Sooner or later they come hat in hand to govt. They will tell SNAP recipients to “get a job.” To billionaires peddling an idea no one needs, they open the coffers filled with our tax dollars.

This chart of consumer confidence is legit bananas. 🍌 (via GS) #UMich

Consciousness of guilt is rarely so openly flaunted.

This is the work of Elon Musk and his DOGE kids most of all

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

I repeat:

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows. Does this sound familiar? Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.

He’s saying taxpayers will step in and backstop their companies when the AI bubble bursts — as we have done so many times before. Privatized upside, socialized downside. The oligarchs play us for suckers.

Oh

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

BREAKING: Men who can’t even keep the government open write letter to a third man, whose high court regularly publishes anonymous orders, to complain about anonymous criticism from lower court judges.

This should be super popular right around Thanksgiving

I just don't think the idiots in the Trump administration realize how much normie moms are going to be incensed at their kids teachers and caregivers being carted off—especially when daycare is so damn expensive and hard to find. It's a collision of everything people are infuriated about.

This line didn’t make it into many Trump speeches. 🤡

😅

Hard same. Got an excited text from my 27 yo with this exact sentiment.

A tent that holds centrist former CIA officers and Democratic Socialists is a pretty big tent. Democrats don’t need to “move right.” Democrats just need to become more comfortable confidently asserting the values that unite us and promoting anti-fascist economic policies.

In voters’ first chance to act after nine months of Trump’s term, they voted against his party in whatever vessel was presented to them — moderate or Democratic socialist, judge or public service commissioner, redistricting initiative or vote-by-mail question. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/electio...

i closed out my column this week with this preemptive jab at basically every commentator currently looking for ways to say that last night didn’t count

I JUST CHEERED IN AN AIRPORT!!!!!!! MY GIRL ZYAHNA!!!!!!!!

I know I’m not alone in this but, this is the lightest I’ve felt in the last fkn year. I KNOW there’s a ton of work ahead. And. I’m going to sleep hopeful. Peace to all.

Fkn YES!!!

Very telling that oligarchs want to be called aristocrats. On the donors who think they deserve to rule: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

The transphobic messaging completely failed to help Republicans tonight. The anti-trans propaganda was a losing strategy which the GOP pushed all their chips in on, and it failed miserably. They lost every major race tonight.

Note two important things here: Jones defeated an incumbent, AG Jason Miyares. And, this means one less key AG siding with Trump — and another AG and AG's Office that will be litigating against Trump.

Salt the earth so MAGA can never return

We’ve reached this part of the evening.
