JD Vance was raised on government assistance. Perfect snapshot of who he really is…

Trump's cruel crusade to shutdown SNAP continues. This man just refuses to do right thing. www.cnn.com/2025/11/07/p...

Trump is sending our economy into free fall and his solution is to throw millions of Americans off their health care this fall.

"Republicans are keeping the government closed, starving kids, and making you miss your Thanksgiving flights because they want your healthcare costs to go through the roof" is actually a pretty effective message for Democrats

And at a national level, we need to break the hold a few companies have on prices.

This is what oligarchy looks like: If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break. If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry. Obscene.

Be still, my heart.

BREAKING: A federal judge finds the Trump admin "did not comply" with his order to fund SNAP benefits. Judge John McConnell has verbally ordered the admin to *fully fund* SNAP benefits for the month of November — by tomorrow.

McConnell orders the government to fully fund SNAP benefits for November immediately via TRO—written order to come. Any motion for a stay is denied. The Court will stand adjourned. Wow.

FULL STORY: Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino, who led a series of increasingly aggressive raids across Chicago and its suburbs, lied about firing tear gas at protesters in Little Village and tackling a man outside the Broadview ICE facility, a federal judge said Thursday. @wttw.bsky.social

Ellis: "Requiring the government to comply with its obligations under the Constitution, in particular the Fourth Amendment, is simply not a harm."

A troubled nation breathes a sigh of relief as the Hoagie Hurler case is finally adjudicated. #NotAllHeroesWearCapes

Sandwich Guy thanks everyone for their support, “emotional, spiritual, artistic or financial.” Intones, “Let us not forget that the great seal of the United States says…‘ out of many, one.’…You all have a right to live a life that is free.”

📽️ WATCH: We reviewed 700+ videos, hours of footage from ICE protesters and counterprotesters in Portland. Trump justified the deployment of National Guard troops by calling the city "War ravaged," with an ICE office under siege. That's not what we found. 🔗 Full story: https://propub.li/43fRCmF

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week." This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

There will be 12 gazillion columns this week but the real takeaway is that the strategy of people with all the money + power telling everyone to shut up & wait in line isn’t delivering as it once did because they got so drunk on their own hype they starting using cruelty and violence for the lulz /1

nyc electing a muslim democratic socialist after nine months of trumpism makes me suspect trumpism is not the historical inevitability stephen miller desperately wants us to believe it is

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So many predicted close races, which is understandable. But turnout favored the anti-kings…. And blew the predictions up. 2026, and 2028….. stand back and stand by

we needed all of this. it’s why i rail on doomers and tell them doing that shit is literal voter suppression. defeatism begets defeatism. momentum fucking matters to keep people engaged.

My tent has a sign outside that says “consequences?”. Anyone who answers yes is in.

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

I sure am enjoying No Kings 3 tonight.

Scott Jennings just now: Virginia has never been a great bellwether and New Jersey is just New Jersey

Congratulations to Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on convincing millions to believe in politics and the future of the Democratic Party! His seemingly-longshot win represents a stunning rejection of the outdated, loser version of the Democratic Party that brought Trump to power twice.

There are more of us than there are of them.

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care. And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

Yawning at the limited government folks warning that a democratic socialist mayor of New York is an existential threat, but who remain guardedly optimistic about an authoritarian president.

”mumdumi” another great data-point in the whole “everyone is 12 years old” theory of politics now

lord help me, I have given final approval on the book files. whatever glaring errors I should have noticed but did not remain to be discovered in the finished books!

"The video cut O'Donnell's final question: "So not concerned about the appearance of corruption with this?" "Also omitted was Trump's stammering reply: "I can't say, because — I can't say — I'm not concerned. I don't — I'd rather not have you ask the question." #Pinks

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.) www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI! This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

You would be kicked out of any writer’s room in existence if you had the villains celebrating a Great Gatsby-themed party while taking away food benefits from millions of poor people.

In the eyes of the establishment, there’s literally nothing Mamdani can do to prove he’s not an antisemite, and literally nothing the openly fascist trump regime can do to prove they are, up to and including intentionally dressing like literal, historical Nazis

Timeline cleanse.

Hammer horror fans—here’s Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing in their last photo together.

Trump suing to starve 42 million people and doing everything he can to build a gold ballroom in honor of himself at the same time is kinda exactly what I expected, to be honest.

New from Bellingcat: “‘Pattern of Extreme Brutality’ — Tear gas, pepper balls among weapons used by federal agents at Illinois immigration protests.” Read the full investigation: www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/10...

Children tear-gassed. Teenagers tackled to the ground. Bellingcat analysed footage of clashes between federal officers and civilians after a judge issued a restraining order on crowd-control tactics in Illinois: www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/10...

What Stuart Stevens says is perfectly obvious, and something you will not see reflected in any of the major media coverage.
