It is sad, but not surprising, that the president of Mexico is wasting her time on frivolous matters like suing the man who groped her. by Andrew Cuomo

NEW: Following a ProPublica investigation, more than two dozen House Democrats are pressing the Trump administration to reverse a new Department of Veterans Affairs policy that makes it harder for male veterans with breast cancer to get health coverage.

North Carolina child care centers warned state lawmakers that many would have to close their doors if new funding wasn't passed in the budget. Now, with no budget passed, doors are indeed closing. #ncpol https://www.wunc.org/education/2025-11-04/net-loss-child-care-providers-state-budget-delay

Well, tens of millions of Americans are going hungry and tens of millions of Americans are losing their health care, but it's all been worth it to ensure transgender citizens can't get passports.

Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights. And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights at 40 major U.S. airports. People who can afford to charter flights will be fine. Everyone else is screwed.

@skyeperryman.bsky.social : "Because of the administration's choices here, we're seeing massive delays in the ability of people to get food.” We’re back in court today to demand the Trump-Vance admin fully fund SNAP.

Guys, it’s totally cool, the gang of unidentified masked ICE agents armed like it’s Fallujah only burst into the daycare because they were in hot pursuit of a “female illegal alien.” What were they supposed to do, identify themselves properly & produce a warrant? Wait until the kids had left? Fie!

"Our son's the only one that eats sometimes." "It was hard, but when we got the food stamps it helped out greatly. My husband and I got a chance to eat." "Now that they're cutting it off, we don't know what we're going to eat." #Texas #USA #Food

Groceries, utilities, rent, gas, you name it – they’re all more expensive under this Administration. I’m in Congress to lower costs and make life better for my constituents. Speaker Johnson needs to call back the House and do the work. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Nancy Pelosi was the first national leader to believe in @votersoftomorrow.org, back when we were all just a bunch of teenagers. For the past few years, she’s been there whenever we’ve needed her, always providing encouragement — and squeezing my cheek when I see her. I’m just so grateful for her.

ICE ABDUCTED THIS PRESCHOOL TEACHER! They stormed into the preschool endangering children. This woman has a permit to work here, but Trump's brutal forces slammed her, face first through the door & detained her anyway. This could happen at your children's school. Call Congress 202-224-3121!

Did the New York Times ruin journalism?

Allow me to reintroduce myself. I’m Fred Wellman and I’m running for Congress to win next. Join us and let’s take back Missouri.

“Tens or hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer-funded NASA property and laboratories are at risk of either being discarded, mishandled, or out-of-commission for significant time periods.” 🔭🧪 www.gesta-goddard.org/blog/gestas-...

When I run errands these days, I make sure I have my keys, my phone and my whistle. I wear the whistle in case I spot Homeland Security thugs terrorizing people and need to alert my neighbors. Lots of people are wearing them. That’s how Trump has changed life in my hometown, Evanston, IL.

Not to replace substance with message but I genuinely do not think that the GOP establishment is prepared, nor capable, of regulating itself in a world where all high profile democrats are directly staring into a camera and telling Trump to go fuck himself.

Trump on Mamdani's victory speech: “I thought it was a very angry speech, certainly angry towards me. And I think he should be very nice to me…It's a very dangerous statement for him to make.”

So Trump's plan is just to keep telling Americans that they're actually wrong about the economy, that inflation is down, grocery prices are down, and that we're actually living in a golden age. Proceed, Donald...

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

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

I guess the plan to have Mike Johnson lie in shutdown press conferences every day for 3 weeks didn’t work out.

Again, these maps have got to be causing a massive panic in any state where they're considering gerrymandering.

It got drowned out in all the good news from last night, but Boston Mayor Michelle Wu became the youngest person to be reelected in the city's history. She ran unopposed because her opponent--Patriots owner Bob Kraft's son--withdrew a few months ago after realizing he had no hope of winning.

Sen. Ruben Gallego on Latino voters: "They are worried about the cost of living...They're also worried about what's happening with immigration enforcement right now...They were told that the administration was going to go after criminals, not fathers and mothers."

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

Last night was a thumping from coast to coast. Across the country, voters rejected chaos and cynicism – and chose leaders who are focused on the cost of everyday life.

Seems like a good time for the Speaker of the House to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

Mamdani: My message to I.C.E. Agents and to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate the law, you must be held accountable.

Raskin: "South Korea gave him some kind of golden crown or something, and then he lowered their tariffs. That is a monarchist mercantilism, that is not the American system."

Anyone who said they would move out of NYC if Mamdani won should be forcibly removed if they don’t do so.

Good morning to these future governors!

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

I hope someone is writing "12 Hangry Men" about the sandwich guy jury

New Jersey and Virginia have chosen well by electing @mikiesherrill.bsky.social and @spanbergerforva.bsky.social as their next governors! They are proven leaders who won by focusing on what matters most - how politics and policy can make everyday life better and more affordable.

And no one has killed more Christians in Africa than Elon Musk, Marco Rubio and Trump by killing USAID, as Marcy has noted.

"The Republican Party has created an entirely avoidable mess for itself. By taking a resolute stand in favor of making healthcare unobtainable for many Americans, and now threatening to starve children to achieve that perverse goal, they have made performative cruelty their political calling card."

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

New York City Mayor-elect Mamdani is kicking off with a big move: bringing former Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan to co-chair his transition team. It's a strong suggestion that he’s willing to take on powerful corporate interests as mayor. trib.al/99csETK

Here’s a fun fact: More than 1000 people have signed up at runforwhat.net to run for office since last night. 😈😈😈

Thanks to Donald Trump, giant tax prep companies are popping champagne, while Americans are forced to spend more time and more money to file their taxes. Filing your taxes should be free and easy. This fight isn’t over.
