The House takes 2 months off & finally reports back to work & promptly spends the next week filing censure motions against each other & attending black tie dinners w/Saudis while the clock counts down for 24 million people to have their health insurance premiums spike in 42 days.

“The JAG at Southern Command specifically expressed concern that strikes against people on boats in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean…could amount to extrajudicial killings, the six sources said, and therefore legally expose service members involved in the operations.”

If this traitor insurrectionist didn’t go down for stealing top secret government files in broad daylight and storing them in a public shitter, he definitely won’t go down for any Epstein files. That’s for sure.

Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge. The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

Well done elder white women in Nebraska using their social status for good: “We love the immigrants“ www.klkntv.com/we-love-the-... #PissedOffGrandmas #NoICEDetentionCenters

wrote about the president’s flagrant and destructive corruption in a column that references street fighter, the simpsons, machiavelli, and a host of revolutionary-era americans (gift link)

Oh my. James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists. Get this man in the Senate.

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks: “Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

In case data-centers weren’t politically toxic enough already. @techcrunch.com techcrunch.com/2025/11/19/r...

“The founders of our country entrusted with our president [that the pardon power] would be used for the public good.” — Former US Pardon Attorney Liz Oyer. She’s right. The president is selling off our democracy.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

Or just move them to a minimum security Club Fed and give them a puppy and yoga classes.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

As winter flooding looms, it's worth noting that a young street tree in an asphalt surface can prevent 60% of the rain that falls on it from reaching the ground, even when not in leaf. Increasing the low levels of urban tree cover should be a strategic national priority.

😬

Just the president of the United States rationalizing that a Washington Post reporter was basically asking to be murdered and cut to pieces with a bone saw because of his reporting. As he sits next to the thug who ordered it.

Every outlet worth a damn should be calling this out. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Swalwell: Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, you should familiarize yourselves with this room. Get to know that witness chair — you’re going to be parked in it for a long time. Accountability is coming.

For the second time in less than a month, a Department of Homeland Security officer shot at a person in DC during a traffic stop. So far there have been no consequences for the officers involved in either incident. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

This is bullshit! What are the charges? 📌 Border Patrol arrested two women for allegedly honking their car horn to alert others of the agents’ presence

Country singer Alexis Wilkins is being protected by FBI agents normally assigned to a SWAT team in Nashville, according to a report.

The common good is a set of shared commitments. To the rule of law. To democracy. To tolerance. To equal opportunity. To upholding the truth. We cannot have a functioning society without these shared commitments.

Not sure the point of deporting hard working people who fled awful conditions in their own countries and are caring for the sick, elderly, and paralyzed, not only harming our own economy, but vulnerable people who rely on this assistance.

The extent of the prosecutorial and investigative misconduct in the James Comey case is even greater than previously known, a federal magistrate judge revealed in an extraordinary new ruling today. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/james-c...

People are rising up and teaching each other how to resist and fight back, and it’s working. And yeah, we’re seeing a whole lot of stupid ICE agents stumbling around like they own the place. You cannot occupy a city and expect silence. The people who live there always answer back.

Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems. "Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map." Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

House Dem Leader Hakeem Jeffries: The GOP may not even net a single House seat from their push to change maps in Texas and other states. "They started this, we're finishing it."

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Jared Kushner advised Saudi Crown Prince MBS on how to “weather the storm” after his hit squad slaughtered American journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

WOW is right!! What’s especially sweet about this ruling is that the federal judge in question was appointed to the U.S. District Court by… Donald Trump!!!

Especially since he hosted the Isis leader who hunter American troops last week and is hosting MBS this week.

If this picture was of Obama, you know @FoxNews would do three weeks solid on why the flag was on the ground. At least three weeks

‼️‼️

Don’t you think their next play will be that they cannot release the files bc Trump asked Bondi to investigate the Dems- so now it’s an ongoing investigation and all files will be withheld?? @crockett.house.gov @jasmineforus.bsky.social

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet. It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition. (1/2)

Overnight 15 Nov, Ukrainian drones hit one of Russia’s biggest oil refineries in Ryazan, taking it offline. You may think it’s “just another drone strike.” But it’s part of a campaign transforming Russia into a petro-state that can’t refine its own petrol. youtu.be/fOAOAM79Cwo

Trump’s ICE is racially profiling U.S. citizens. They have no respect for the law or for our civil rights. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

Michael Needham is officially the counselor and director of Marco Rubio's policy planning staff. Unofficially, he is the implementer-in-chief of a muscular foreign policy.
