Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

DEMS WIN BIG IN IOWA: Democrat Renee Hardman wins IA State Senate SD-16 with 71.5%, a 27-point Dem overperformance from 2024. Harris won the district by 16. Hardman's victory blocks a GOP supermajority and makes history as the first Black woman elected to the Iowa Senate.

NEW: A judge in the Kilmar Abrego case just UNSEALED a Dec 3rd order showing DOJ lied to the court when it said that Blanche's office didn't have anything to do with the decision to prosecute Mr. Abrego. 1/

They really cut $1 Trillion from Medicaid then put $50 billion back and think we’re all too dumb to notice

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: We have the text of the note referenced by Rolling Stone, and in it Epstein makes among the last words he committed to paper the revelation that Trump was obsessed with "young, nubile girls" and regularly sexually assaulted them.

For years we've all called them "the January 6th pipe bomber," but if the information in DOJ's complaint is accurate and he is the guilty party, Cole apparently started making bombs long before the 2020 election and may have made other bombs before and/or after January 6, 2021

NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking. "It's bad," Smith says. Read here: newrepublic.com/article/2039...

Some on the right seemed eager to suggest yesterday that the suspected pipe bomber was somehow aligned with the left. That was before Brian Cole Jr. told the FBI he backed Trump and believed 2020 election conspiracy theories. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

(🚨) PROOF EXCLUSIVE: The Timeline of Pro-Trump January 6 Pipe Bomber’s 21 Bomb-Component Purchases Reveals An Unmistakable Pattern You are going to need a drink for this. Trust me.

UPDATE: Prosecutors helped ID Brian Cole Jr. as the suspected pipe bomber by tracing purchases he made in 2019 and 2020 that include all the components of the pipe bombs discovered outside the RNC and DNC. See the full complaint: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Brian Cole Jr Family says he’s autistic and hes not the pipebomber‼️https://www.mensjournal.com/news/brian-coles-family-makes-brief-1st-statement-after-pipe-bomb-arrest

BREAKING on MS NOW:   Brian Cole Jr., the suspect accused of being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber, confessed to agents that he planted the bombs and has indicated he supported President Trump, according to two people familiar with his interview.

This young man has it exactly right.

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

The 8 Dems who surrendered: @SenAngusKing @timkaine @SenCortezMasto @JohnFetterman @SenatorDurbin @SenatorHassan @SenatorShaheen @SenJackyRosen

The corruption never ends

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

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

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

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

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

They are so good at this.

‼️‼️

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.

The majority of Americans are good. We have heart. We have compassion. When we see others struggle, we want to lend a hand. For too long, we’ve been divided and pitted against each other by those who crave obscene wealth and power. Let’s change that. One election at a time.

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

This is the kind of investigation James Comer was made for…

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @deadder.bsky.social )

👇👇

From Lawrence O'Donnell: The Convicted FElon's approval numbers are as low as they were after the J6 insurrection, only 37% approval. The Majority of Americans disapprove of everything that he is doing. The economy, immigration, tariffs, use of ICE & national guard, healthcare & so on.

There is a distinct possibility that some people are too stupid to participate in a democracy

This is an excellent idea!!!

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28. If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.

Breathe easier, true believers. Jon Stewart will remain as the Monday night host and executive producer of The Daily Show through at least December 2026. Details: theplaylist.net/jon-stewart-...

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

Kristi Noem claims that ICE has not detained or arrested any US citizens. We're calling BS.

This guy is not playing with a full deck. Anyone who thinks otherwise, needs a padded room of their own.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

As the government shutdown drags on, the human cost of the GOP's unwillingness to negotiate with Democrats is tragically on display, with hundreds of federal workers in Maryland forced to stand in a line for free food from a local pantry, many facing the shock of their first missed paycheck.
