Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

“We are targeting Venezuela because of DRUGS, not OIL, which is why we are blowing up boats without any drugs and stealing a tanker full of oil.”

Please, let’s make this happen! The Center for Biological Diversity is pushing to have Trump’s image taken off the 2026 national park passes and they’ve filed a lawsuit to do it. Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, which requires the

TW ⚠️— WISCONSIN: “I am racist.” Cinnabon has fired this racist worker who hurled the N word at a Hijab-wearing Somali woman and her husband. This is what Trump has emboldened. Our kids are watching. More: www.ibtimes.co.uk/cinnabon-fir...

The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) announced that it will no longer publish content on Elon Musk’s platform, X. The organization said it can “no longer ethically participate in a social network that its owner has transformed into a machine of disinformation and propaganda.”

Ilhan Omar: "When I think about Stephen Miller & his white supremacist rhetoric — it reminds me of the way the Nazis described Jewish people in Germany—"

This is one of those why!? moments. The Trump administration abruptly halted an FDA effort that was designed to keep asbestos out of talc-based cosmetics.

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

Sigh Listen. Vote for democrats.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Sure looks like Karoline Leavitt had her nephew's mother deported right before Thanksgiving as a favor to her brother.

The reason people freak out and run from Trump’s racist goon squad is they are literally disappearing people. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

Who remembers those early Palantir trades

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

CNN: What if there are more names connected to the Democratic Party that come out in the files? CHRIS MURPHY: So what?

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

NEW via CNN: “The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal”

The Trump admin has unveiled plans to open California’s coastline to offshore oil drilling for the first time in decades, a move that has sparked swift and fierce backlash from state leaders. The proposal, which outlines up to six federal lease sales between 2027 and 2030, would mark the first

I’m over John Fetterman. A lot of us were caught up with his trolling of Dr. Oz, myself included. I don’t think it was his stroke that caused the pivot, but who he always who he’s been deep down. I don’t know what his end game is, Keep an eye on this dude. Watch his moves, and listen to his words.

Whoaaaaa

“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One"

Trump is claiming credit for ending the government shutdown, boasting that he “broke the Democrats.”

Supreme Court rejects call to overturn its decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide www.wistv.com/2025/11/10/s...

None of the Dem Senators (or Democratic-caucusing) who voted yes on the CR are worried about reelection: • Dick Durbin – IL – Retiring 2026 • Catherine Cortez Masto – NV – Up 2028 • Jacky Rosen – NV – Up 2030 • John Fetterman – PA – Up 2028 • Maggie Hassan – NH – Up 2028 1/2

Time to swear in Adelita Grijalva, let her cast the final vote to release the Epstein files!

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

Please stop falling for the MTG is a new person con. Please.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

If you’re wondering what the future of the Democratic Party looks like, watch the young, brown democratic socialist on the TV right now.

“Look at these scumbags — in the car with guns with a baby in the back.” What are we doing?

The federal government keeps labeling everyone they go after as cartel members — and it keeps being proven false. These are the same people we’re supposed to trust when they execute people at sea under that very justification?

BREAKING: Immigration officers in the Chicago area will be required to wear body cameras after the use of tear gas and other actions against protesters, a judge rules.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

This is what ice is doing

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

This is not a border crossing. There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior. This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Don’t worry ICE, Chicago may not want you but there’s plenty of space for you in hell.

You have got to be joking hahaha

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

BREAKING: Federal judge officially found ICE violated people’s rights during raids in Chicago, conducted unlawful arrests.

They’re really excelling at selecting woefully underqualified individuals. The Justice Department has appointed retired Marine Corps Colonel Daren K. Margolin as the new head of its immigration court system.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.
