I’m old enough to remember when NBC hired Megyn Kelly, with Andy Lack saying "Megyn is an exceptional journalist and news anchor, who has had an extraordinary career"; "She’s demonstrated tremendous skill and poise, and we’re lucky to have her."

That mean homeless teenager, upending the career of Matt Gaetz. What on EARTH is @nytimes.com doing?! She did not “have sex.” She was raped. Because she was a child below the age of consent. SHE did not “set off a chain of events.” MATT GAETZ set off that train.

What people don’t understand is that an overwhelming majority of girls and young women who are preyed upon by adult men are facing similar challenges. These vulnerable young women need support, but predators find them and take advantage.

Extremists want to nationalize the weakest gun laws in America. I wrote about why that’s dangerous and how we stop it. Subscribe to Locked & Unloaded today to read more:

When a man hijacked a bus in Hamilton, Ontario, on Tuesday, the potentially catastrophic scenario ended happily. It turns out he was a pretty decent bus driver. He made regular stops to pick up passengers, the police reported. At one point someone tried to board with an expired bus pass. No dice.

thinking about how i get anxious writing emails because i don't want to sound like a moron while larry summers is apparently typing emails like this: u kno she dint want to talk tomorrow. make me bad pheel.

For folks (and journalists) who want to search the Oversight Committee email texts, I made a database for searching the 20k text files: splendorous-chaja-f79791.netlify.app

Nancy Mace is expected to pull her support for the petition to release the Epstein Files, the day before Adelita Grijalva is sworn in.

In all 50 states, people are allowed to carry hidden, loaded guns in public, and states make their own decisions about who can do so. But the Concealed Carry Mandate that House Republicans are pushing would undo those decisions and trample states’ rights.

Meta’s chief artificial intelligence scientist Yann LeCun is planning to leave the social media giant to found his own start-up, as Zuckerberg seeks to radically overhaul the company’s AI operations. LeCun has told associates he will leave the Silicon Valley group in the coming months.

Deep gratitude to all those who have served our country.

"We’re done waiting for Dems to find their spine. We can’t afford a weak & cowardly Democratic Party while the authoritarians invade our cities, terrorize our communities, & threaten our democracy. We get the party we demand, & we intend to demand a Democratic Party that fights.” — @indivisible.org

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

Did someone say cave?

It’s time for Chuck to step down as Minority Leader. When you can’t hold your conference, you cannot lead.

“A bipartisan Senate deal has been reached to fund the government through January 30 and to set a vote on an Affordable Care Act bill in December, in a major sign the government shutdown is poised to end, according to a source… The deal includes a reversal of Trump’s firings of federal employees”

The RIFs language is actually great. Not only does it rehire the people RIFed during the shutdown, it makes it an unequivocal Antideficiency Act violation to do ANY MORE RIFs through the duration of the CR (Jan 30) Completely stops Trump/Vought Phase 2 for now Would love to see this standardized

Things are fine.

SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates. In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.

A reminder that Elon Musk was not awarded a $1 Trillion pay package. Tesla set up a bonus program where IF Tesla achieves EBITDA growth of a level no mature company ever has, he could receive that. Their profit would have to be $7.5 Trillion to achieve that. (Last year it was $12.5 Billion)

The definition of communism is where the government owns the means of production. Your communist isn’t Mamdani - it’s the guy in what’s left of the White House.

Shero!

The group that represents the interests of the gun industry has won accolades for trying to raise awareness about suicide, the leading cause of gun death. But it uses deceptive numbers to promote its efforts.

So, do we know if this scheduled yet?

hey, another round of applause for @lindseyboylan.bsky.social, who has taken very significant risks and flack for being the first to come forward with stories about what an abusive POS Cuomo is. She's the one who started these dominoes a-topplin'. Thank you.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Does anyone really care what Likud party leaders think about Zohran Mamdani's victory? I don't.

I can't wait to explore all the soon-to-be-vacant NYC apartments from those who swore they would leave the city if Mamdani won. bye Felicia. (didn't we see a similar threats when de Blasio won, when Dinkins won, when Lindsay won, and probably when Thomas Willett won in 1665).

One of these things is not like the other... #HatersGonnaHate (and for the idiots at the NY Post, I'd suggest reading a book about political and economic systems, because Democratic Socialism (or even Socialism) is not the same as Communism).

Congratulations to longtime Moms Demand Action @momsdemand.bsky.social volunteer and newly-elected Mount Vernon, NY City Council member Cynthia Turnquest-Jones

NYT study suggests blast waves could cause brain injuries at gun ranges. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/b...

Another example? Lucy McBath, who flipped what was then #GA06 in 2018 after Jon Ossoff tilled the filed in 2017. Here she is behind Barack Obama when he announced executive orders on guns.

Watching the markets (over)react to David Solomon and Ted Ouck comments today is another great example of How Not To Invest - the theme of great new book of that title from Barry @ritholtz.bsky.social Yes, of course we could see a correction in the next 12-24 months.

True story…

Fascinating thread, especially when you think about how most Democrats struggle with messaging and “no one cares about policy”

My assessment of where America stands, one year after the election. A fascistic movement controls the government; they are building an authoritarian state; but they have not been able yet to extend authoritarian rule across society. A democracy no more, but not a consolidated autocratic regime yet:

Fascist who pays women off for their silence endorses his own kind.

This is crazy. Just the other day I cheered this post, saying “While most of the MSM keeps moving further to the right, Teen Vogue seems to know their audience.”

Immigration looks so much more friendly in Canada

The young will save NYC!

Pilot: right now we are thirtieth (!!) in line to take off. (Any air traffic controllers wanna help out at Newark, please??)

Because, rather than “healthcare for all” we are getting “healthcare for those who suck up to POTUS”

Healthcare but only for my friends
