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.

When the FBI Goes to Preschool: Because Nothing Says “Law and Order” Like Handcuffing Miss Brittany in Front of the Snack Table Somewhere between “protect and serve” and “traumatize and terrify,” America seems to have lost the plot.

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 guy who has refused to help war-torn Ukraine now wants to “protect Christians” in Nigeria, says he is “rescuing” Argentina on behalf of the West, and is “combating drug trafficking” in Venezuela. What do all three countries have in common? They all have abundant oil. What a coincidence.

ICYMI: “.. at least two companies with projects in development had decided against investing in the U.S. and at least four companies have extended pauses on projects put in place after the Hyundai raid ..” @washingtonpost.com @crampell.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

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

The voters of NYC have spoken. Congratulations to mayor-elect Mamdani on his victory. Always remember: The People outnumber oligarchs.

Michelle Wu is one of the best public officials and political leaders in America.

For the record: I'm not tired of winning.

This is done with our tax dollars and in “our” name. We may not be guilty, but we are responsible.

How is the president threatening a US city if a candidate of an opposition party wins an election not considered election interference?

Your reminder that 77 Million didn’t think J6 was the final straw.

Some time to act like maybe-maybe-not drug boats in the Caribbean are the big national security issue for America www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-nati...

In another country he’d be in prison already.

“National socialism is not compatible with democracy. Because the national socialist views businesses as allies or opponents of the regime, it cannot countenance the opposition taking power. National socialism is incompatible with political pluralism.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Whoops.

Republicans don’t need to know how to govern for the same reason the 9/11 hijackers didn’t need to know how to land.

Profoundly stupid.

What he said Part 2: 💯 🎯

Newsom: "He is not screwing around. He's changing the rules. He's rigging the game because he knows he'll lose if all things are equal. He did not expect California to fight fire with fire."

The crowd tonight in Norfolk, Virginia for Abigail Spanberger and Barack Obama. LET’S GO!!!

FBI Director Kash Patel has asked to halt public tracking of government-owned jet after reportedly using it last week to fly out and watch his girlfriend perform at a wrestling event. In normal times the FBI would investigate its own Director but we live in Trump’s world now….

It really is amazing that when a popular young Democratic politician who wants to solve real problems for people beats an old-guard institutionalist Democrat in a primary, the institutionalist Democrat just stays in the race and basically runs as a Republican.

Cool optics bro

Two unfortunate observations about a lot of US political media: 1) They don't value truth, and distort info in favor of politicians who call them biased, even when the charge is false. 2) They won't stop inviting people who denounce them, even lie to them. If anything, they'll have you on more.

If we had an actual media, they would be leading coverage with this every damn day.

A message to all government civil servants and DoD now…

A summary of the BS happening in the senate ⤵️

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

“Mom, what’s for Thanksgiving?” “We’ll find out when we get to the soup kitchen. Jeffrey Epstein’s ballroom isn’t going to pay for itself.”

"By flexing China’s near monopoly on rare earths and its purchasing power over U.S. soybeans, Mr. Xi won key concessions from Washington" Trump is a terrible businessman and terrible negotiator. More people need to know this! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/w...

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

One of few news sources of information that can be trusted. Investigative journalist still be allowed to do their fricking job. For now. This article exposes the evil regime we are living under. Dirty, filthy, obscene. #pinks #stopfascistregimes #humanrightsviolations

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

POTUS making on his own (like a dictator) with a rubber stamp House of Representatives.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

A president who routinely gives orders attempting to rewrite history, is a president who's planning to commit atrocities.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

From an International Studies Association email about whether it’s safe to travel in the United States. I don’t disagree with the legal assessment but It’s sentences like this one that make me — an institutionalist to the core — want to burn this entire motherfucker down.
