Some incredible details in this piece *one DOGE faction was planning the future of the US government at a venture capital firm *illegally communicating on Signal to avoid transparency laws was deeply embedded into organizational culture to be taken for granted

Shaheen: I have made it clear that I believe this is a Russian proposal. I hope that tomorrow’s negotiations in Geneva focus on a real framework that guarantees an outcome benefiting Ukraine rather than Russia.

Rounds: Senator Shaheen mentioned that Secretary Rubio did make a phone call to us this afternoon. I think he made it very clear that we are the recipients of a proposal that was delivered to one of our representatives. It is not our recommendation. It is not our peace plan.

Stunning development: Senators now confirm the Trump admin’s 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine wasn’t a U.S. plan at all. It was a Russian wish list. Follow along. This is crazy. 1/

State Dept. Spokesperson now refuting GOP and Dem senators’ account of their joint briefing from Rubio - and claiming the 28 point plan IS authored by the US. Hard to believe several senators would have fundamentally misunderstood what Rubio told them. Breathtakingly dysfunctional government.

🤬🤬🤬

Warning for North Carolina: Scams are increasing, and the confusion is being made worse by ICE agents failing to properly identify themselves and wearing masks. As a result, residents are becoming targets of immigration fraud.

Kremlin produced and Axios got played. Disastrous But, huge question, why did Trump decide to endorse it And ofc now the pro rule of law, anti invasion administration members like Rubio are fighting with the pro dictator, pro Putin camp of the White House bsky.app/profile/dark...

Do I understand correctly that there is now a dispute within the administration about whether this "peace plan" was written by Russians or Americans?

King: According to Secretary Rubio, this plan is not the administration’s position — it is essentially the Russians’ wish list that is now being presented to the Europeans and to the Ukrainians.

DOJ is now recruiting for immigration judges by calling them “deportation judges.” That’s seems really bad.

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court is set to discuss how it will handle a North Dakota case and a Mississippi case on whether private individuals and groups — whose lawsuits have been the main way of enforcing the Voting Rights Act’s Section 2 — can keep suing. ICYMI:

Yesterday Robert Kennedy would have been 100. What he stood for remains consequential- now more than ever

Trump Guns are now running commercials on Fox News

A Venezuela invasion won’t affect fentanyl or cocaine because the country isn’t a producer. An invasion is to open their oil market to American oil billionaires

The Trump administration had begun to make progress on Ukraine—but the peace plan that just leaked throws it all into doubt, Thomas Wright argues.

Remember when Trump said during the pandemic, "If we stopped testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any"? He's expanded that approach to the economy. The latest edition of Receipts from @crampell.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-one...

What the fuck

www.greenmatters.com/health-and-w... A man in #Washington State is hospitalized with #H5N5 #bird-flu. As the American fed gov is doing everything in its power to ensure this becomes a widespread human illness, here’s info on the disease.

Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

Terroristic threatening by the president.

America 2025.

ICE agents in Queens, New York break down a bedroom door and point guns at a mother & her four US citizen children They dragged the mother out by her hair while yelling at the kids to “put your hands up, stupid!” This is tyranny These kids are traumatized It was warrantless and no ID was shown.

🔥 @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social : "That's a ridiculous assertion. Shame on you for saying that.” CNBC host Becky Quick accuses him of wanting healthcare costs ⬆️ to score political points, because Dems want a multi-year ACA costs fix. (Was a Republican ever treated on there like this?)

This is a fabulous read: "Bovino’s Border Patrol raiders have one playbook — terror — and it’s less effective each time they deploy it. So far, it’s aging in nuclear half-lives. The shock value is wearing off..."

Miss Piggy responds

What is this interview style? Could she be more disrespectful?

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos. I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

NEW: A class action filed in Massachusetts aims to block Homeland Security’s use of civil penalties to ramp up financial pressure on people seeking a path to legal status. In more than 20,000 instances, the Department has sent fines as high as $1.8 million.

a lot of u owe the president an apology

ICE’s Detention Center outside Chicago was sued on October 30 for allegedly abusing detainees. One day later, a "system crash" lost all video footage that could have shown how detainees were being treated. trib.al/QwT3aqI

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.

Hours after Border Patrol swept through Charlotte, protesters filled uptown with courage, not fear. They marched peacefully, stood united, and refused to be intimidated. Charlotte showed up. And it showed strength.💪

America is not your sugar daddy, Lindsey.

It occurs to me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, that what is happening with the ultra rich oppressing and exploiting everyone else is a mirror of what humans have done to the earth.

Morning.

Is anyone surprised that Lindsey Halligan is the same woman incharge of the James Comey debacle? She sounds wildly unqualified every time she speaks.

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

Literally just lectured about this! In the late 1960s, air quality was so bad in several cities they had to turn on the street lights during the day so drivers could see. And yeah, the Cuyahoga River was so polluted it literally caught on fire.

My legal team will be in federal court in North Carolina today fighting against the state's unconstitutional redrawn congressional map. Before you listen to those in the GOP who say we can't win, ask Texas how that worked out for them.
