This is one of the pictures the Justice Department removed from the Epstein files release: A picture of a table with framed photos of Epstein and famous people. There are two photos of Trump in the picture — including one of him surrounded by women in bathing suits.

The tragedy of Rob and Michelle’s deaths are incomprehensible. I’m hearing Rob’s voice telling us all to do more, to repair the human soul, to repair our hearts, to repair our country, to repair our world, to keep fighting, to keep living for every soul taken from this earth.

I wanted to keep up with my new neighbors by putting out a few nondenominational holiday lights this year. It took me a while to realize why I had sticker shock. Trump’s tariffs = bah humbug.

📌 NEXT WED. 12/10: How can we know if a particular #law or policy has chilled people’s free expression? Can we use social science approaches to study chilling effects? Join our WEBINAR with Sarah Brayne, Jonathon Penney, and @natematias.bsky.social. RSVP here: knightcolumbia.org/events/the-s...

Waj Ali has been persona non grata at CNN after moments like this repartee with Rick Wilson and Don Lemon from a few years ago. Meanwhile, they regularly platform MAGA extremists because it’s important to hear their perspectives.

A former UN genocide prosecutor, Dr. Charles A. Adeogun-Phillips now pushes for an International Anti-Corruption Court to hold kleptocrats accountable when domestic systems fail – and urged journalists to investigate the global mechanisms that enable corruption and impunity.

I think Eliot Higgins is saying here that Google’s latest AI image tool can invent images from varying angles, making it even harder for viewers to tell that they are unreal.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

I’ve seen this Cloudflare error on a used camera website just now, also. It’s apparently affecting a significant portion of the internet.

🚨🇺🇸🚨ELECTION ALERT🚨🇺🇸🚨 Democrat Danny Ceisler Unseats Republican Sheriff Fred Harran tinyurl.com/yc4kzm3b #BucksPol

Thank you, Pennsylvania voters!

Decision Desk HQ has called the election in favor of Prop 50-- the Congressional Redistricting Amendment that would net Democrats +5 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives election-night.decisiondeskhq.com/date/2025-11...

It’s Election Day today. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 VOTE YES TO RETAIN ALL OF PENNSYLVANIA’S SUPREME COURT JUSTICES! They help our state remain relatively independent of pressure from our three Republican-led branches of federal government!

It’s Election Day today. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Bucks County voters have several choices to make. Here’s a list of the Democrats. It’s especially urgent to elect Joe Ceisler for Sheriff, because the current sheriff has prominently volunteered his support for mass ICE roundups. bucksdemocrats.org/candidates/

Last night marked the beginning of Canal-O-Ween in Yardley, Pa. I overheard that 467 pumpkins were carved by community members Sunday afternoon. The stroll begins at sunset through Nov. 1. iPhone photo by me of a Labubu Jack-o-lantern.

This Bull in a China Shop is going to do whatever he wants to do.

I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.

So-called scary antifa at Morrisville, Pa. Rally

Very well attended No Kings rally, Morrisville, Pa. iPhone photos by Evelyn Tu.

Be sure to register by the end of today, NJ voters. The governor’s race is considered very close.

ICE claims assaults on its officers are up sharply since June. There's no public evidence that number is true.

“Ellison thinking that [Bari] Weiss can appease the Trump administration is like thinking you can fix a broken arm by breaking your neck.”

From Hopium: - Mikie Sherrill rocks her debate, Spanberger debates tonight - Schumer: "Every day gets better for us" - Dems flip Fairbanks, Alaska - Greg Sargent on need for Dems to fight Trump's rising authoritarianism more forcefully This, more 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/sherrill-r...

South Dakota Public Broadcasting says there's an ironic result to President Trump's successful attack on public media: It will have to rely more on NPR programs.

SO MUCH court news in the last few minutes.

Do you live in California or know someone who does? Trump rigged Texas & red states with corrupt gerrymanders to lock in MAGA rule. CA fights back with Prop 50. Get everyone you know to vote & volunteer (cadem.org/prop50 Early voting starts soon 11-4 is our chance to finish this fight. #YesOnProp50

Because Bucks County DELIVERS!! 🤜🤛

The social media uproar over Cracker Barrel’s logo changes was likely driven by bots. This is a cautionary tale showing that reporters should not depend on social media to take the public’s temperature about any topic.

One in every 7.5 jokes Jay Leno made — about 4,500 of them — was about Bill Clinton, almost double the amount he made about George W. Bush.

Free speech for them but not for us.

“We’re going to keep showing up until they stop abducting our neighbors.” Brad Lander sets the example for all of us.

Stephen Colbert, during last night’s show, invited The New Yorker’s editor to unveil the magazine’s next cover — a satirical illustration of Trump’s tiny hand hovering over the mute button of a remote control, a not-so-subtle jab at his obsession with silencing critics.

I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist. Clarifying the law is important because it reminds us not to comply in advance and to resist and take action

A pitch for those of you canceling Disney+/Hulu this week would be to use that cash and subscribe to PBS/PBS Passport. Public media is foundational to our democracy and supporting @pbs.org is just about the best value for your dollar. Plus, there are so many British mysteries!!!

This just in: Jon Stewart normally only hosts “The Daily Show” on Monday nights nowadays, but tonight he is returning to his longtime desk for one Thursday edition, Comedy Central says. His guest: Maria Ressa

Jimmy Kimmel’s show was just put on ice.

This is an amazing take-down of Debate Culture, which is the culture that leads pundits to say Kirk “did politics right.” This part here is … chef’s kiss. But the whole piece is fantastic.

As NYTimes columnist Jamelle Bouie says in this video, Kirk’s fate was horrific and undeserved. I sympathize with his young family. However, that doesn’t require us to make him a saint. Particularly, he was no exemplar of the right way to do politics and free speech. bsky.app/profile/jeff...

This is terrible. No one reasonable wants a political opponent killed.

Today’s act of political violence in Utah against Charlie Kirk is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. We don’t have to agree on everything, but we should all agree on this: political violence is wrong, and has no place in our democracy

The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 targeted immigrants and silenced dissent. Though repealed or expired, their spirit lived on in Chinese Exclusion, Red Scare deportations, Japanese internment, and post-9/11 bans. Each misuse shows why we must abolish such xenophobic laws once and for all. #Pinks

Confronted Rep. Randy Fine about why he doesn’t support fully releasing the Epstein files. Also spoke to several Epstein survivors and Rep. Thomas Massie — who said his Republican colleagues (like Fine) are trying to pull the wool over the public's eyes by passing a bill that actually does nothing:

If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you

See you at 9 am!!

Now with the link we forgot to include yesterday: We collaborate with @billy-penn.bsky.social to produce the Weekly Brief on gun violence prevention, delivered via their daily newsletter every Wednesday: mailchi.mp/billypenn/we...

The national guard is on garbage AND gardening detail because 1) there's no crime at DC's tourist spots 2) Trump/DOGE laid off the park service staff that is supposed to do this
