Federal agents used chemical weapons on Chicagoans at least 49 times — even after a judge said to stop. Contrary to federal claims about attacks on agents, most of these incidents appear to involve nonviolent protesters or bystanders. blockclubchi.co/47PoaXb

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally. He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough. Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. He was revered.

😬

Massie: “[Speaker Johnson is] trying to say the rich, powerful men who flew to Epstein Island are the victims now. The only way a ‘Christian man’ can stand up there and sell a lie like that is if he’s already decided in his head that protecting them is somehow okay.”

"We should not need to be reminded of the value of human life." ~Jamal Khashoggi

Keeping Summers teaching forces his students to forgive him for being buds with a known sex trafficker or their grades will suffer. It's coercion. Harvard needs to get him the hell out of there.

So they’re accepting people who flunk an open-book take-home exam on the Fourth Amendment? Lovely. www.esquire.com/news-politic...

Billionaire companies are bankrolling Trump’s ballroom and it stinks of bribery. That’s why @robertgarcia.house.gov and I introduced a bill to crack down on this potential corruption.

Neighbor watched as two women were apprehended by Border Patrol in Charlotte, NC. The agents smashed their car window and zip tied them. Both are US citizens. Their crime was honking the horns of their vehicles to alert their community that ICE was in the area. How is that a crime? Crazy! 🤬

So you mistakenly dismembered a journalist?

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.

Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions? I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?

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

Where were the allies in the press corps when Trump pointed directly into a female reporter's face and called her "Piggy"?

"Agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including ICE, ERO, and CBP intend to implement a comprehensive plan to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season between Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, and Christmas, Dec. 25."

BLOOMBERG REPORTER: “If there’s nothing incriminating in the Epstein files why not…?” TRUMP: “Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.” 😕

Just imagine if Biden, Obama, ANY OTHER PRESIDENT had ever uttered such foul, reprehensible, sexist, derogatory language toward a female reporter on camera…

Happy #tongueoutTuesday ! One yawn is never enough. #catsofbluesky #gingercats #catoftheday #sleepykitten

NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House. By @robert-faturechi.bsky.social & Avi Asher-Schapiro

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5. He’s been taken by ICE in Florida. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/16/s...

This is so goddamned beautiful. Get ‘em, Charlotte.

New Hampshire moves one step closer to imposing stricter work reporting requirements for Medicaid expansion recipients than the fed govt is proposing. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

huge turnout in Charlotte tonight for @siembranc.bsky.social’s “Safe to Work, Safe to School” training for people who want to learn how to protect their neighbors from Trump’s mass deportation effort.

This is too precious not to share. You’re gonna need volume for this one, and very possibly a tissue.🥰❤️

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served. F that!

New from @francescadnunz.bsky.social: Texas Department of Public Safety and ICE signed a pair of agreements that will authorize state police within DPS’s Criminal Investigations and Highway Patrol divisions to effectively operate as ICE agents, on a statewide basis.

After fleeing war in Colombia, Manolo rebuilt his life in Charlotte, transforming the city’s first Latin bakery into a place of hope, opportunity, and community. We learn yesterday that Manolo, has to close the bakery to protect his Latino community from the new ICE raids. Sad story from Charlotte.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans: Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet. So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

CBS is the network that paid Trump $16m. CBS is the network owned by the Ellisons. CBS is the network that failed to push back in its 60 Minutes interview of Trump. Of course, CBS is asking questions like this to House Democrats.

Please can we bottle her…

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem failed to inspire the US Coast Guard Academy after reciting a poem before their clash against the US Merchant Marine Academy on Saturday. Then we paid for her to have dinner at Strega/North End with Sean Duffy. local.newsbreak.com/the-mirror-u...

In a move that is equal parts cruel and absurd,the head of the USDA has announced that “everyone” receiving SNAP benefits will now have to reapply yes,even those already struggling to put food on the table. Because nothing says “we care about feeding Americans” like bureaucratic chaos and red tape.

Need a little inspiration this morning? Had the privilege to hear Limmie Pulliam perform this the other night. He brought the house down. #letthemhearyou @phillipsexeter.bsky.social @limmiepulliam.bsky.social

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

A Charlotte pastor said Border Patrol came into his church and arrested a father in front of his wife and kid. The folks were outside on the property cleaning up the yard when ICE started chasing after them. Some ran in the church thinking it's off limits to ICE. Apparently not. This is wrong!

"'Right now, under federal statutes, President Trump can call us up as the militia,' he said Rhodes added that he’d like to see Trump 'order us all to come together in our counties under his command'...” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

“Following the arrival of the U.S. Border Patrol in Charlotte Saturday morning, hundreds of protesters gathered at First Ward Park in the afternoon and marched through uptown, delivering a clear message to federal agents: ‘Get out’...” www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

5 headlines tonight on Charlotte Observer’s homepage: “Manolo's Bakery closes to protect customers” “Church members flee as federal agents arrive” “Super G executive describes agents dragging out teen employee” “Border Patrol questions people at Walmart” “Border Patrol sweep sparks fear”

Hundreds of protesters have taken over downtown Charlotte tonight, marching against Trump’s ICE Gestapo tactics. The country is hitting a breaking point.
