House Republicans take another day off today after briefly returning to work for a couple days after their two-month vacation, ready to enjoy another long weekend at taxpayer expense.

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

Maybe someone should tell Megyn R. Kelly 15 is not “barely legal”, it’s actually quite illegal?

Sad.

WOW, new signage!

NEW: DHS launched a $200mln+ ad campaign, featuring, Kristi Noem, aimed at stemming illegal immigration. We found the firm secretly hired for the work has ties to Noem. @justinelliott.bsky.social, @josh-kaplan.bsky.social & @amierjeski.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/kris...

WIRE TRANSFERS- #47 made over 4,725 wire transfers to Epstein totaling $1.1 billion using Russian banks!!!!!! #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DV1 #Pinks www.threads.com/@christopher...

NEW: The Nevada Supreme Court has revived the criminal case against the Trump 2020 fake electors, ruling that AG Ford was correct to bring the case in Clark County. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

The DOJ is suing to stop California’s redistricting map. Apparently vote approved maps are a problem, but partisan gerrymanders done without public input are just democracy working as intended?

Epstein survivor Annie Farmer: "It was very unlikely that we would get the signatures we needed for this discharge petition. And here we are. ... For years people said it was unlikely that anyone would care or know about the crimes of Epstein and his co-conspirators." @kaitlancollins.bsky.social

Great idea!!

Wag the dog

Oh hey — you know that big Chicago raid where Stephen Miller said the building was “FILLED” with gang members? @propublica found 0 evidence of Tren De Aragua, the men weren’t charged with any crimes. 🤔 (sound familiar Tennessee?) All for show. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “I think these emails demonstrate precisely why Republicans have been trying to block the release of the Epstein files… Trump had a very close personal relationship with Epstein and spent time with the victims… it’s horrifying.”

REPUBLICAN REP. MASSIE: “I vote with my party 91% of the time… But when they're protecting pedophiles, blowing our budget, starting wars overseas — I'm sorry, I can't go along with that.”

This is worth every second

The congressional funding bill included a THC cap that effectively bans most hemp products, a move industry leaders say threatens the $28 billion market. www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/11/...

Can you wrap your head around the fact that Epstein a guy convicted of procuring children for prostitution and accused of child sex trafficking thought Trump was indecent. Mind blowing.

“$170 BILLION for ICE. $40 BILLION for Argentina. $1 BILLION for Trump’s Qatari jet. $230 MILLION for Trump’s DOJ “compensation”. $200 MILLION for Noem’s jets… But nothing for health care? This isn’t a question about what 🇺🇸 can or can’t afford — it’s about priorities.”

NEW: Jenna Norton, an NIH employee who is openly critical of Trump & RFK Jr, has been put on "non-disciplinary" administrative leave. She says the administration is trying to "scare and silence me." An HHS official, asked to comment, called her a radical leftist. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

Looks like we’re going to war with Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.

This is odd, it looks like the DOJ skipped suing Texas entirely. The Justice Department is now suing California over the new congressional district boundaries that voters approved just last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday in a post on X. Who are they going to sue, the voters?

The Trump administration is preparing tariff exemptions to lower food prices, effectively killing his nonsense claim that we’re not paying for the tariffs. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

"Pete, you strike the second the Epstein Files are released and you keep killing and blowing things up until Americans stop talking about those files. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Have a hot teen bring me a Diet Coke."

“This should be a nuclear bomb, it shouldn’t be a Wednesday.” - @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social

The Trump administration is holding people in inhumane conditions in California's largest immigrant detention center. We sued this administration to challenge these abusive and harmful practices.

(🧵) This thread from a retired journalism professor who helped usher in the era of metajournalism in the 2010s—and has written a book on the relationship between Trump and Epstein as part of his NYT-bestselling Proof Series—explains how to report properly on the Trump-Epstein Scandal. Here we go.

The America First guy has brought in 566 foreign workers during his 5 years in office to work at his companies instead of hiring Americans. And counting.

Remember that Nimarata Nikki Randhawa ran as Nikki Haley Piyush Jindal ran as Bobby Jindal Raphael Cruz ran as Ted Cruz Meanwhile—Barack Obama ran as Barack Obama and Zohran Mamdani ran as Zohran Mamdani, and MAGAs accuse Dems of identity politics Every MAGA accusation is a confession

Jeff Bezos paid $50 million for a wedding. He just got a $16 billion tax break. He just laid off 60,000 people. And you're furious about a kid getting a free school lunch?

In this day and age, a little common decency goes a long way… Happy #WorldKindnessDay! #kindness #bekind #strongertogether

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

Megyn Kelly said she thinks “there’s a difference between a 5 year old and a 15 year old” when it comes to sexual abuse. Megyn Kelly has a 14 year old daughter. Megyn Kelly is going to Hell.

The only reason we know anything about the Epstein files is because the survivors refused to give up. This release is about the the bravery & tenacity of the survivors who continue to fight for justice in a system seeking to crush, silence, and erase them.

Priorities.

It is not normal to be best friends with a pedophile for decades unless you are getting something out of that relationship. And one thing everyone knows about Donald Trump is that he is transactional.

An ICE agent carrying an AR-15 stole a U.S. citizen’s car keys and wallet, then abandoned her vehicle in the middle of Portland Road NE and Ward Drive NE in Salem, Oregon.

I’d just like to reiterate that if you put on a mask, and go out without a warrant and kidnap people because they aren’t white enough, you’re a huge piece of shit…

216 Republicans voted to double (or even triple) Americans’ health care last night. They could have done something to stop it but they chose not to. Health care costs are going to go up and Republicans are for it.

More impunity for the elite, courtesy of the Trump regime.
