Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing. Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war. They voted to confirm him anyway.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

Happy Thanksgiving!

WAPO SCOOP: U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols wapo.st/3Mbd9a6

It's being reported that New Zealand has banned puberty blockers for transgender youth. I removed New Zealand from my recommendations to families fleeing a while back after the far right saw a surge in power in the country. Sad day for NZ trans youth.

Alberta under Daniel Smith just used the notwithstanding clause (overriding the Constitution of the country) to deny trans children access to healthcare. Unreal levels of cruelty and a violation of human rights

It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop

GIMENEZ: If there was something in there that implicated President Trump, Biden would've shown it to us when he had control of the files C: Then why is this White House fighting to not release them? G: Uh, look, uh, like I said, I, I, you know, I don't know why there's, there's a fight but uhh uhh

I’m speechless

Since September, the Trump administration has carried out more than a dozen strikes on boats it claims are run by drug traffickers, killing more than 70 people. n.pr/4oUjxkV

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

NEW: The US has deported a longtime Oregon firefighter who was arrested by Border Patrol while deployed at a major wildfire in Washington state. José Bertin Cruz-Estrada, separated from his family, is speaking out from Mexico for the first time: “I feel betrayed ... What am I going to do now?"

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

Chuck reopened the government and Trump still said stop SNAP and the SCOTUS seems willing to hear him out! Who on earth could've predicted Trump would still stop SNAP even after the shutdown ended and SCOTUS would help him starve Americans?

“No Senate Democrats have joined their colleagues in seeking Schumer’s resignation and none responded to requests for comment” prospect.org/2025/11/11/o...

Today, we express our gratitude to all those who have defended our country and to the families of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Every veteran who defends this nation must get the quality health care and benefits they have earned and receive the respect they deserve.

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

We just launched the biggest primary program in Indivisible’s history. Help us (literally) send Schumer and the surrender caucus a message. open.substack.com/pub/ezralevi...

If you’ve got a Senate Democrat who is not calling for new leadership, they’re part of the problem. We should no longer trust Senate Dems who decline to come out against the leadership that led us here. Until proven otherwise, we should assume they were in on the game to fool their own supporters.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run. We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader. If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

Dems calling for Schumer to be replaced: - Ro Khanna - Mike Levin - Seth Moulton - Marc Pocan - Delia Ramirez - Rashida Tlaib

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

After his pathetic surrender to Republicans on the government shutdown, it's time for Chuck Schumer to go, writes @jeetheer.bsky.social.

NEWS: U.S. Senate advances bill to reopen the federal government in a 60-40 vote. Dems who votes yes: 🔵 Catherine Cortez Masto 🔵 Dick Durbin 🔵 John Fetterman 🔵 Maggie Hassan 🔵 Tim Kaine 🔵 Angus King 🔵 Jackie Rosen 🔵 Jeanne Shaheen Republicans who voted no: 🔴 Rand Paul

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

This is an absolutely insane administrative process. Within the space of a week, states were told by judges/White House *no SNAP benefits *half benefits *full benefits *pause provision of benefits. Result is chaos, uncertainty, and uneven access to benefits depending on where people live.

SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates. In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.

If you live in New Hampshire, read this piece and then call your senators.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “If Trump cares about Christians or anyone else in Nigeria, all he needs to do is restore aid and let babies live,” our columnist Nicholas Kristof writes.

CBP has been hitting Skokie, outside of Chicago, hard today. At 10:45 today, they jumped out of their vehicles and arrested a man on Lincoln Ave.

BREAKING: Justice Jackson puts order forcing Trump to fully fund SNAP benefits on hold to give the appeals court time to rule on the stay pending appeal @courthousenews.bsky.social

President Trump overstepped his authority when he sought to deploy National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, to protect the ICE office there, a federal judge ruled, issuing a permanent block on troop deployments to the city.

“I still cry sometimes,” Juan Ramón González said from Mexico after “self-deporting” in August, leaving the family he had raised over three decades in California.

BREAKING: DOJ goes to SCOTUS trying to stop a district court order that USDA pay out full SNAP benefits this month. The First Circuit denied an administrative stay, but has not yet ruled on the stay request. And, CNN reported that USDA is already processing payments. DOJ went to SCOTUS anyway.

HE'S APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STARVE AMERICANS

Eunisses Hernandez called homeless encampment sweeps “inhumane.” Then, she joined LA City Council and things changed. Since taking office, arrests of unhoused people have skyrocketed in Hernandez’s district. lapublicpress.org/2025/11/hern...

Just naked bigotry, they don't even bother trying to hide anymore

"The cruelty feels sudden, but it’s anything but accidental." Read: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Schumer sold out queer people to get a CR, then he sold out DC to get a CR, now he’s offering to sell out 24 million ACA recipients for a CR, and doing so to help shield Republicans from dealing with it over the midterms. He’s like an ant-Pelosi, his instincts go the wrong direction every time.

Throwing away all your political capital after a historic off year election for a 1 year continuation of ACA funding is absolutely pathetic.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
