First, Donald Trump sided with his billionaire Big Tech buddies and endorsed the AI regulation moratorium. Now, MAGA Republicans are trying to sneak it into the defense bill. Democrats must stand up to this all-out attack on AI regulation.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

i will kind of accept this from some random person who barely pays attention. ben shapiro though? he's just lying

“Our National Guard troops did not sign up to police their own neighbors.”

I feel like Trump has pioneered a new form of spoils, where criminal allies of the President can expect to be compensated for their crimes.

QAnon influencers have baselessly suggested that newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails show Trump was an “informant” against Epstein. It comes as the QAnon community has for months tried to rationalize Trump opposing the Epstein files’ release. My latest:

Big news: Indiana Republicans signal they still do not have the votes to re-gerrymander the state, and that the Senate won't convene the Senate after all in December. Getting 1-2 seats out of Indiana was central to the GOP's redistricting-war math. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Man, look: The regularity with which Trump defends his relationship with Epstein by noting that he never went to Epstein's island makes me think 1) that the island is where the really heinous shit went down and 2) that Trump knows that very, very well.

these are not even the files lol

It can be hard to do math in your head, while standing up, on national television. Nerve-wracking, too. But even so, in twenty seconds on the air, I did a better job than the President in costing his latest idea and figuring out whether his new idea of a $2,000 rebate check will work. (It won't.)

Perfect live shot of the 8 Senate Democrats tonight.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
