Please note that Mr. Welles got traction ENTIRELY from making social media videos of him singing out in nature. I saw him many times on Tik Tok and thought his stuff was actually really good. Glad to see he is getting recognition for his talent. No label would have touched him without that

SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s federal police arrested former President Jair Bolsonaro preemptively on Saturday, days before he was set to begin his 27-year prison sentence for leading a coup attempt, officials said.

In the richest city on Earth, 40% of NYC families can’t afford weekly food costs, and food prices are up 33% over the past decade. It’s time for a city government that puts affordability at the top of the agenda.

TEN MONTHS IN: The national debt is higher. The trade deficit is wider. The inflation rate has worsened. The unemployment rate is up.

Trump’s History With Jeffrey Epstein: Here’s The Full Timeline

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy

Mark Epstein: "You know, they used to fly in each other's planes. ... They say Donald was on Jeff's plane like seven times, but... have they checked Donald's flight logs from those days to see how many times Jeffrey was on [Donald Trump's] plane? ...

New in PN: CNN shows that when media orgs fight Trump, they win "Paying the blackmailer makes you look like a cowardly mark — both to your audience and to the guy grabbing you by the wallet. And with courts announcing they won’t be part of Trump's extortion racket, media outlets need to toughen up"

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say. "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

This is the hardest I have seen any member of Congress work to try and address transphobia in Congress, and her ability to get nearly all Democratic lawmakers to sign onto this letter is something any first would applaud

Trump at the dinner: Gaza looks a bit messy, it has for many decades, but it is getting very close to being perfected.

A promised TikTok acquisition by US investors, brokered through Trump, has been stalled for months. And the lawmakers who passed the ban are largely staying quiet. Read more from @laurenfeiner.bsky.social:

Trump's promised $2,000 tariff checks would probably cost $450 billion, per a new analysis. At that price, the dividend would leave nothing for the president's promised uses of the money, like paying down debt and bailing out farmers.

What your president and his team are prioritizing.

‘Fear really drives him’: is Alex Karp of Palantir the world’s scariest CEO?

I will not be buying any World Cup tickets or merchandise due to FIFA’s collaboration with the Trump regime. Gianni Infantino has a dictator fetish. It’s grotesque.

Also a key question for those of us on the Trump beat!

A serious question, for anyone who wants to engage in our economic debate: How should we talk about nonsense?

Epstein survivor Annie Farmer: "It was very unlikely that we would get the signatures we needed for this discharge petition. And here we are. ... For years people said it was unlikely that anyone would care or know about the crimes of Epstein and his co-conspirators." @kaitlancollins.bsky.social

Exactly. He should resign.

“I think it’s a terrible mistake,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren says of the deal. “People want us to stand and fight for health care, and that's what I believe.” (via Igor Bobic, HuffPo) x.com/igorbobic/st...

I refuse to support a funding bill that fails to address the Republican health care crisis. And make health insurance affordable. The American people clearly understand the stakes and the urgency. We must too. I'm voting no.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

If you need confirmation Senate Democrats are fucking this whole thing up here you go. Excellent way to destroy the enthusiasm with huge Dem wins throughout the country up and down the ballot that were not even one week ago.

It’s good Dems are speaking up against this real but remember the first cave earlier in the year: Schumer’s tactic is to recruit ten fall guys and then let the rest of the party be mad about it (or frequently, pretend to be mad)

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Alex Karp and Peter Thiel are two of the worst people on this planet running one of the most evil companies to ever exist—we should do whatever we can to make Palantir go bankrupt.

The best way to be filthy rich and guarantee people won’t come for you is to be charitable with money you won’t even notice is missing The Prebys and Jacobs families, for example, aren’t getting pitchforked in San Diego anytime soon

President Donald Trump keeps touting the fact that Walmart’s promotional Thanksgiving meal basket is cheaper this year than it was last year. But Trump hasn’t mentioned that this year’s basket is different than last year’s – in particular, that it contains significantly fewer items. | Fact check
