George Santos says he’s leaving New York City after last night’s election. Zohran Mamdani is already making the city a better place.

Thanks to RFK each of us will lose … <subtract 3, carry the 1> … One third of one pound over the next year. Twelve pack abs, here we come.

Superb bookends to this hearing: Start with Carl Sandberg, end with John Adams.

It's not a good sign for Trump, Noem or Bovino when a judge does this. ⤵️

Judge Ellis, throughout this hearing, has repeatedly said that the version of the facts provided by DHS officers is not credible. She has cited video evidence and testimony in court that undermines what government officials have said publicly.

Bad AI supplanting human expertise is an issue that transcends any one field, but man—not many people on earth whose knowledge and dedication deserves respect like LIBRARIANS.

Oh no there’s gonna be a mistrial

Praising a medical breakthrough originally funded by (now-gutted) NIH funding. 🤡 $LLY $NVO

Obviously prejudicial to the outcome

This kinda shit is how you get hung juries

Ellis: The use of force during the Trump administration's Operation Midway Blitz "shocks the conscience."

I will never stop being mad that the NYTimes continues to handsomely pay someone to write about American conservatism who was capable of being so obviously and egregiously wrong about it.

Hey y’all I would be remiss if I didn’t mention I’ll be doing my first signing at a Con ever(!) tomorrow at Rhode Island Comic Con!!! and all my proceeds will be going to @trevorproject.bsky.social for LGBTQ+ youth Love to see you there!

Am I in the twilight zone.

Donald Trump has literally been permanently shutting down parts of the government ALL YEAR and as I said in spring this was a slow government shutdown and that should be directly connected to the way he is now shutting down SNAP and flights and is literally about to ruin Christmas

I'm a little bit confused (rhetorical, I'm not) about why we're not hearing more from the Democrats that Donald Trump fired a bunch of federal employees and a government shutdown where only ICE and the military get paid is completely in line with his plans and funding goals

Judge Ellis becomes yet another judge to note that the Trump admin's claims about what is happening in response to immigration enforcement simply do not hold up when caught on tape.

Judge Ellis is on the bench this morning about to rule in the case about DHS's use of force in Chicago. Things are not going well for DHS — she just accused Gregory Bovino of lying under oath about his use of force.

Trump's allies in Germany betraying the country and helping Putin. Sound familiar?

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.” A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

I replaced a man in my workplace so the thousands of criminals, scam artists and sex abusers I reported on in 750 investigations over 18 years sure think so.

More good news! People really hate these assholes.

Morning. ☕ ICYMI: Don't sleep on all the down-ballot victories that Democrats just pulled off. They're not as sexy as governor's races or the NYC mayor's race, but they matter -- and they were some of the most astounding wins of Tuesday night. www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

All an effort to rewrite Trump’s shameful history. He’s flailing to discredit anyone who revealed his crimes and betrayal.

Last night’s election results, in a nutshell. (watching this legitimately made me laugh out loud)

NEW on CNN: Inside the “absolute shitshow” at the Heritage Foundation. Where staff are in open revolt, a major donor bailing, and resurfaced deleted tweets from Kevin Roberts show him praising Pence and seemingly bashing Trump on Jan. 6th. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/p...

Newsrooms often hear more from those who doubt the science, leading many to believe that climate contrarianism is more prevalent than it is. @amywestervelt.bsky.social @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/envi...

A Florida man was arrested in connection with a series of online threats against several of President Trump’s political adversaries, according to a criminal complaint, which said that his targets included James Comey, Letitia James and Hunter Biden.

Democratic Rep. Jared Golden of Maine announced Wednesday that he would not seek reelection in 2026, putting pressure on his party to hold one of the toughest seats in the country for them next year.

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

Denial is the first stage of grief. The second stage is more grief when you get your ass handed to you in the midterms. 😃

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

A federal judge slammed the Trump administration's immigration enforcement officials for allowing detainees in Illinois to live in "disgusting" and "obviously unconstitutional" conditions, according to a new report.

They need to steal all the world's IP, and get all the world's money for free, to be successful at their business. They are geniuses.

i know he’s fun to laugh at but we really need to start enforcing corruption laws again, and the statute of limitations has absolutely not run out

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

They’ll insist this is a one-off victory — something that can only happen in New York & nowhere else. They’re wrong. New York is the world financial capital — home of Wall Street & billionaires from across the globe. If everyday people can defeat oligarchs here, we can defeat oligarchy anywhere.

Gregory Bovino: “If you need (to) deploy gas, you deploy fucking gas!”

My latest cartoon for @airmail.news about one of our time’s greatest scourges: #privateequity

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Nigeria has more than 230 million residents, so this should be a piece of cake. Maybe we'll be greeted as liberators.

New York City Mayor-elect Mamdani is kicking off with a big move: bringing former Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan to co-chair his transition team. It's a strong suggestion that he’s willing to take on powerful corporate interests as mayor. trib.al/99csETK

It is horrific that they would do this (at all, but also) in front of children, and by the way, if she is an employee, this probably leaves the children below the required adult-to-child ratio at a day care. Spectacular failure of both critical thinking and human decency in immigration enforcement.

DUDE

Partial list of local-county govs Dems flipped: —NY: Dutchess County legislature —NY: Onondaga County leg —PA: Erie County executive —PA: Luzerne County board —PA: Bucks County DA, sheriff —CT: mayors of Bristol, Milford, New Britain, Stratford (Maybe: Aurora CO, council) Surely missing a lot!

January: Who's... Mamdani? March: Mamdani can't win. Cuomo's got it locked up. June: Okay, he won the primary, but he can't win the general. Oct: If he wins, NYC will be DESTROYED!!! Nov: Look, sure, Mamdani won, but it's not that big a deal. It's insignificant. He'll be a lackluster mayor.
