Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

Donald Trump’s baiting and deflecting over the Epstein files has left him insisting that the investigation is both “too tedious to merit discussion” and also the “nuclear bomb that will destroy the entire Democratic Party,” @jonathanbchait.bsky.social argues:

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. He backtracked on the Epstein files and lost control of the GOP. His plot to steal the 2026 midterms is faltering. Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful.

The beauty of diversity. Breaking the record felt significant for Ms. Martinez, who works at a criminal justice nonprofit organization in New York. “It’s not every day that an Afro is celebrated,” she said. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/s...

“The JAG at Southern Command specifically expressed concern that strikes against people on boats in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean…could amount to extrajudicial killings, the six sources said, and therefore legally expose service members involved in the operations.”

AI data centers are sucking up communities’ power & water. AI is being used by corporations to shaft consumers and is threatening young workers’ job prospects. So Trump wants to ram through a ban on state AI regulation — all to help out his Big Tech billionaire friends. Priorities.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Solidarity with the thousands of unionized Starbucks workers who are on strike. Keep up the fight. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/20/s...

The Fed is gutting its ability to monitor warning signs of bank failures and slashing rules put in place after 2008 to prevent another financial crisis. Now, big banks are ramping up the same risky behaviors that led to the last economic crash–setting the stage for another one.

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

Drug companies have hired over 500 lobbyists this year to gut the Inflation Reduction Act's drug price negotiation provisions. They outnumber public interest advocates more than 20 to 1. We must get money out of politics and end Big Pharma's deadly greed once and for all.

Corruption at every level of government. Inconvenient truths are eradicated.

Is Piggy referring to his attempted coup on January 6th?

The Trump administration is waging an illegal assault on public school kids. Instead of working to lower costs, they're punishing students. Linda McMahon knows she doesn’t have the power to dismantle the Department. Only Congress can, and I will not let that happen.

AOC: Trump has been saying the economy is booming, but it’s really only seven tech companies. They’re driving this growth in just one sector: AI. So the entire economic growth can be tracked down to seven companies and their AI expansion…

The Trump administration used the federal government to help Andrew Tate—an accused sex trafficker who brags about abusing women—get his devices back and ease travel restrictions. Tell us again how “law and order” works?

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

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for 6 years for. I gave him my loyalty for free. I've never owed him anything. Let me tell you what a traitor is -- a traitor is an American that serves foreign countries."

Justice department will release Epstein files within 30 days, says US attorney general – US politics live

Russ Vought is openly admitting this nomination is a front so he can stay on at the CFPB while he tries to shut it down. Instead of lowering costs for Americans, Trump and Vought want to make it easier for giant corporations to scam families out of their money.

Donald Trump is already laying the groundwork to throw the 2026 midterms into chaos. His success could have dire consequences for American democracy, @dgraham.bsky.social argues.

Thank you to the more than 700 students who joined me and the “Godfather of AI,” Nobel Prize winner Dr. Geoffrey Hinton, at the Georgetown Institute of Politics and Public Service. We must ask ourselves: Will AI benefit all of us? Or just the billionaires?

Listen…If y’all want to talk honesty, then let’s be honest about all of it. The promises, the hypocrisy, the receipts. Because what you campaigned on and what you’re doing? Two very different things.

Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not just the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

Mob boss attacks female reporter again for her “attitude” and says he will ask his FCC commissioner to look into revoking her company’s broadcast license.

Alex Padilla lays it plain.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

After the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, Mohammed bin Salman became a pariah. He’s been slowly rehabilitated, and is now being celebrated in the Oval Office. @ichotiner.bsky.social talks to an expert on the Middle East about how the Saudi leader won back Washington.

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

Thank you to leaders across major California health systems and health plans for inviting me to your annual conference in Anaheim this evening. The focus was squarely on equitable access to healthcare across the state. Despite obvious challenges right now, I am hopeful for our future.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

Today, the House finally passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Survivors have waited years for answers, and the American people have been kept in the dark for far too long. Every name, every meeting, and every document must be released—no excuses, no delays. (1/2)

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.

Onboard the world’s largest sailing cargo ship: is this the future of travel and transport?

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social hired former FTC Chair Lina Khan to run his transition team. She's an excellent pick with an eye for rooting out how big corporations are making your life unaffordable. One way they're doing that? Surveillance pricing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cbtUYshYM8

"People familiar with FBI security protocols said they were unaware of any other instance in which the girlfriends of top FBI officials received government-staffed security details..." www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions. Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.

FBI assets currently exist primarily to serve Kash’s social life and calendar. www.ms.now/msnbc/news/k...

Bingo. Corporate welfare is the real welfare you should be talking about.

I knew they blamed immigrants for everything, but I didn’t think they would blame immigrant cows for hamburger prices.

While Trump is calling the affordability crisis a "con-job," new data shows that utility costs are soaring and families can't keep up.

We are not backing down. We will not move on. We are here to seek truth and justice for the survivors and for the American people. So, Mr. President. Release the files. We’ve already subpoenaed them. The truth will come out.

The fallout for Trump over Epstein continues; DOJ in major trouble as a judge calls outs Halligan and Bondi's troubling grand jury activity in the Comey case; Trump's corrupt deals with the Saudis; and more. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast at 8p ET/5p PT.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.
