a big runoff last night, in New Orleans: Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet. So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Do I trust this recent transformation? Not yet Will I offer grace to those who want to be done with toxic politics? Even those who once reveled in it? Yes The road to redemption, however, is long and it must be travelled. For MTG, the road requires her to be truthful about J6 and her role in it.

Chris Murphy on possible military strikes on Venezuela: "It's pretty clear it's just an effort to distract people from the rising prices and the Epstein scandal. No one wants a war with Venezuela ... and by the way, it's wildly illegal."

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true? HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart-- KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

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?

"He was asked about Jeffrey Epstein -- the end of questions, and the cameras were led out." @vaughn_hillyard joins @stephruhle on the #Nightcap to discuss Trump's reaction to the newly-released Epstein emails.

Legislation to reopen the government also includes a provision that would allow eight GOP senators to sue the FBI over phone searches. @pbump.com joins @stephruhle.bsky.social with an important reminder: "The FBI was investigating Donald Trump's effort to steal the 2020 election."

“The bullies tried to get us, and we fought back.” Marion County Record publisher and editor Eric Meyer joins @stephruhle.bsky.social to react to his paper being awarded over $3 million from the county after the 2023 raid.

@stephruhle.bsky.social points out Trump administration policies that are hurting Americans while Trump says he doesn't want to hear about affordability.

After 50 days of waiting, Rep. Adelita Grijalva was just sworn into Congress. #StopJohnsonsEpsteinCoverup

It took 50 days and a whole lot of nonsense, but Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is finally in her seat. Mike Johnson didn’t stall her swearing-in by accident—he did it on purpose. Because protecting predators was apparently more urgent than serving the people.

Boy do I wish I could have a chat with all the naysayers when I posited that Epstein was a dirt factory for Putin. How many times have we asked "what does Putin have on Trump?" www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

BREAKING: Rep. Adelita Grijalva has officially signed onto the Epstein discharge petition. That means there are now 218 votes — and a full vote must come to the floor.

"That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files" -- Rep. Grijalva

BREAKING: Rep. Adelita Grijalva signs the Epstein discharge petition, serving as the 218th vote to force the bill to the floor for a full vote of the House.

Grijalva: That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files. Justice cannot wait another day.

Shoutout to @oversightdemocrats.house.gov for posting both a main link and a backup link -***just in case***

Yes, but you can choose a 30 year, 20 year, or 15 year mortgage, no one is forcing it on anyone. This isn't the hill Democrats should die on. Healthcare for all or living wage more important.

Peter Thiele and his ilk are intent on creating an artistocracy in the US. A 50 yr mortgage is just one of the tools to accomplish that end. Pay forever and own nothing. Sounds like serfdom to me.

By sending us $2,000 to give to billionaire insurance CEOs, and by tripling the interest we pay to mortgage companies while he continues to limit what we can write off, he's effectively looting the treasury and using us a mules to launder the stolen money; funneling it to the wealthy.

A bunch of folks have asked me what this looks like in local currency terms. Here's the chart. It's a similar story: The performance of the U.S. stock market during the Trump presidency is... ~~meh~~

Average age of a first-time homebuyer is now 40! Young people should not be locked out of opportunities to build generational wealth. Phx's Missing Middle ordinance still requires compliance with Historic Design guidelines. It should be adopted to comply w/ state law. www.12news.com/article/news...

Sen. Analise Ortiz was named among the Top 25 Young New Democrats to Watch by New York Magazine. "They don’t like seeing powerful young brown leaders," said Ortiz of the Republican attempts to remove her from office and disenfranchise her Latino-majority district.

I voted no tonight. But the next phase of Democrats’ health care affordability fight is starting. While I personally don’t believe Republicans will keep their promise to work with us on lowering health care costs, I would be thrilled to be wrong.

On Veterans Day, we honor those who answered the call to serve our country and protect our freedoms. Thank a veteran today!

Or is it because Putin has something on him?

All of the Senate Democrats are 100% responsible for Schumer's prearranged capitulation. They allowed him to remain Senate Minority leader after he pulled this the last time, they are all corrupt!

A VICTORY LAP

Trump Will Always Ask the Supreme Court For More The conservative justices have repeatedly demonstrated their willingness to reshape executive power to fit their favorite president’s agenda. ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/tarif...

GREAT JOB CHUCKIE

He's cashing it. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I’m with you on Trump except for that last word. If Trump had more woman in him, odds are he’d have more sense.

My dad served in US Marines from 1969-1976. He used GI bill to get pharm degree, then served in US PHS until 2005, retiring with military benefits My dad’s military retirement pay stopped Nov 1. Trump has stopped pay to NOAA & PHS officers, vets, surviving spouses. Trump is a cunt.

Donald Trump said he'd make Americans healthier and wealthier. 10 months in, we're poorer and sicker.

 Climate risk is fundamentally financial risk. It’s rising insurance premiums. It’s housing instability. It’s global competition. @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom is bringing that fight to COP30 — for our kids, and our future.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy. For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy. The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

California’s leadership on clean air and climate began under Governor Ronald Reagan and was strengthened by President Richard Nixon — a bipartisan legacy more than half a century strong. While Trump attempts to put our progress in reverse, California will continue to lead.
