Trump is 100% "America first," except when it comes to Argentinian beef

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

1. In a major shadow docket ruling from the Supreme Court, the court has ruled against trans people's passports, giving a stay to the Trump administration. The admin has previously indicated it intend to revoke some passports if it got this ruling. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Billionaire Marc Rowan wrote Trump's "Academic Compact" loyalty oath in order to, in his words, destroy universities the way seen in Europe in the 30's and 40's. His private equity firm Apollo also owns the University of Phoenix, the country's biggest creator of student debt.

SANDWICH GUY NOT GUILTY.

RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible

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

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

If you do one thing today, read and share this link. It is the tech oligarchs’ plan to take over the government and build a post-democratic America, proven to be well underway. To understand the tech bros, we must think like them—they view our democracy as an outdated system that must be replaced:

Please take a minute to scroll through this—and share it. It's the story of our time. The Authoritarian Stack: How Tech Billionaires Are Building a Post-Democratic American—And Why Europe Is Next. www.authoritarian-stack.info

“With significant funding from tech leaders, Rockbridge aims to equip MAGA to outlive Trump... It is gearing up to deploy its arsenal in the [2026 and 2028 elections],” aiming for JD Vance to takeover. They believe a “select group of elites are exactly the right people to move the country forward.”

Gorsuch finally starting to understand what they have unleashed

Like you I am celebrating Tuesday's victories. However, my job is not to sugarcoat things and tell you it's all fixed. It is to warning about what to expect next and fight back. That is why I wrote this and why I hope you read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

There are more of us than there are of them.

Says assault requires a “reasonable fear of immediate bodily harm,” and none exists given agent’s long-sleeve shirt, long pants, boots, gloves and ballistic vest that is created to “keep you safe from military rifle fire” and so is “definitely going to keep you safe from a sandwich.”

Going thru the elements of the crime. Looking at the 6 magic verbs now, and the one even more magic adverb: forcibly. “Here we have the defendant throwing — it’s a sandwich, but throwing it hard.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene on what she'd say to Mike Johnson: "Where is our healthcare plan? It's nonexistent."

I’ve literally seen this movie before.

As air traffic controllers face a second missed paycheck next week, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sounds the alarm that the system is nearing its breaking point.

Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson: Zohran Mamdani in NYC! That man, that movement, gave us a glimmer of hope -- that we can be a part of something bigger than any one of us alone.

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

All these writers must be so excited to write @theonion.com headlines for mainstream media outlets.

House cancels votes next week, including vote on Epstein files.

Incredible

the cope on fox tonight has been good

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

What we saw last night sent a clear message to Trump, Republicans, oligarchs, and corporate Democrats - America is not for sale. We must continue to push and not forget what is at stake. This is a fight for the future of all Americans, democracy, and the workingclass.

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

This is big. The new anti-Trump coalition depends on the very working families that billionaire-ran monopolies exploit. Mamdani having antitrust enforcer Lina Khan on his team is going to keep monopolies and hedge fund managers like Bill Ackman (stay in your lane) in NYC up at night :)

The crashouts are already in progress and they are delicious.

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization.

“Detainees - arrested in recent weeks by immigration agents during Operation Midway Blitz - testified on Tuesday they’ve been kept in overcrowded holding cells, forced to stand or sleep on floors, with clogged or overflowing toilets and a lack of sufficient food.”

Robert Held Witnesses Chilling Testimony in Chicago Lawsuit Against ICE ICE is terrorizing and traumatizing Chicago

2026 starts now!! Join us tonight at 5pm PT / 8pm EST for a post election mass call with @workingfamilies.org 🤝 RSVP: wfpus.org/masscall #50501movement #WorkingFamiliesParty #PeoplesMovement #Midterms2026

If it goes up, don’t cross the picket line. Collective action is the only way we ever get things done.

Man @gavinnewsom’s team doesn’t mess around

Defense: “You are the ones impacted by the executive orders… there was and remains a huge law enforcement presence in the district…” 

 Prosecution objects. Sustained. Irrelevant, judge says. Some skillful nullification baiting there.

"The sandwich did not impede Officer Lairmore’s duties that night,” Sandwich Guy's lawyer argues. "A footlong from Subway could not and certainly did not inflict bodily harm.”

Defense says that the officer's testimony was "very questionable" because he said the sandwich both exploded in spray of mustard and onions and also landed in its wrapper on the ground.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

For those who don’t know, Lina Khan gave tech bros hell AND her ass to kiss when she was FTC chair. She was busting monopolies left and right. Gave Amazon and Meta the finger too. This is an EXCELLENT addition to his team.

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

The government reopening is the first domino to fall. The release of the Epstein files is the next. After that, one domino after another falls until the entire regime is no more. Republicans know this, and are lying and delaying to prevent it. They may slow it down, but they can’t stop it.

Big things are happening…
