All hail the Sandwich Guy! Justice has been served with a side of chips.

On a call with reporters, DNC chair Ken Martin responds to JD Vance claiming Dems only won big last night because races were in blue states. "Well that's bullshit. We won in red counties, blue counties, purple counties," Martin says. And it was all "a rejection of Trump."

On the video of the daycare center abduction, no agency ID is visible. A parent said, “They weren’t sure what was going on. ICE, an attack on the school — they didn’t know.” [Me: it sounds like the went into RUN HIDE FIGHT mode.]

No one has figured out the exact scale of the Hispanic vote collapse yet, but I tried to get my arms around it. Read the rest here: www.thebulwark.com/p/2025-elect...

This is delusional. Does any serious economist believe this? The president is off his rocker, and the GOP is too scared to acknowledge that.

Brava: “If I don’t file a complaint, then what message does that send to all Mexican women?” Ms. Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference, noting sexual harassment was a crime… “If this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

There were 13 elections last night for a statewide office. Democrats swept all 13. That’s 1 in NJ. 3 in VA. 2 in GA. And 7 in PA (all judges, retention and regular). They won 12 of the 13 races by double-digits, with margins up to 24%. The only other race, the tightest, they won by 6%.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

😆

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

The jury is entering deliberations now. If they come to a verdict today, cool! If not, they’ll be dismissed at 5 and we will return tomorrow for Day 4 of not the simplest case in the history of the world.

Omg

Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

Closing arguments are underway in the sandwich guy casez

sdklfj Gorsuch asked a question like, so if the pres unliterally declared a 50% tariff on all gas-powered vehicles to respond to the unusual & extraordinary threat of global warming? DOJ says well we'd say that's a hoax & not a threat Gorsuch dripping w condescension goes I'm sure you would lmao

Think back to how you felt a year ago when Trump was reelected. Now think about how you feel after last night's election. You volunteered. You went to protests. You didn't check out. You put in the work required for our democracy — and it's paying off. Remember this.

"Thank you for your attention to this matter" Democratic leaders ask Trump for meeting to end shutdown New letter ===>

“Justice Gorsuch warned of ‘a one-way ratchet toward the gradual but continual accretion of power in the executive branch and away from the people’s elected representatives’ in Congress.” www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Ooh, he's arguing that the tariffs are regulatory, not revenue-raising. And somehow that means that it's an Article II power. That seems really dumb to me.

Alito: What if the government reissued all of these tariffs tomorrow using [a different law] Neal Katyal: ...then we would have that case, but that's not what the government argued el oh el

They’ve got John Roberts defending congressional powers from the executive, folks.

Kagan: “ It has a lot of verbs, it has a lot of actions, it just doesn’t have the one you want.” #scotus

Roberts now going at the solicitor general like a cat with a wounded mouse. Keeps telling him that tariffs are taxes on the American people. "Who pays the tariffs??" Says Trump's argument would neutralize separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches. Incredible stuff.

Justice Jackson: Congress actually explained to us in its Senate report and House report in the Trading with the Enemy Act (IEEPA's predecessor) that the law allowed the President "to control or freeze property transactions when a foreign interest is involved." Not raise revenue.

It seems a contradiction worth exploring that Sauer says raising revenue is incidental to tariffs and yet the president repeatedly notes it as a principal objective and benefit of instituting the tariffs.

when you lose gorsuch . . .

this has now become the free range chicken Oxford Union debate between Katyal and Alito about all things ever

Katyal just bodied Alito’s “yeah but what if giving refunds of tariffs are hard” question.

💯

Kavanaugh says that IEEPA would allow Trump to shut down trade with other countries but not impose tariffs. He calls that the "donut hole" in their position. Oregon's SG Gutman replies tariffs are a tax, the other isn't. "It's not a donut hole: It's an entirely different pastry."

👀

God what a beating. Imagine being on the other side of this if you were a thin-skinned narcissist with your entire self-worth wrapped up in being a winner.

Lmaoooo how did I miss this post

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

Endorse

😂

Imagine having a kid in this daycare who watches as their teacher is bodily dragged away by masked goons.

TRANSITION CO-CHAIR LINA KHAN!?!?!??!

ah yes just the message Thune and Johnson want being spread

The Mississippi state legislature begs to differ. 😏

LMAO he's trying to be Mamdani!

dawg they’re live laugh loving the white house. president homegoods

Just left the latest hearing in Jim Comey's criminal case. It did not go well for DOJ The magistrate judge scolded them for an "indict first, investigate second" posture and ordered them to turn over reams of material — including all grand jury info — to Comey's team Details TK

Katyal is merciless. He is embarrassing Alito’s fanciful hypos and Alito is getting mad. But Katyal is unfazed and instead going in for the kill. Wow. Well done.

If I had to guess right now (and it is premature!) I'd say the Supreme Court is going to strike down Trump's tariffs. All three liberals are clearly against the government. Barrett too. Roberts leaning that way. And we haven't even gotten to tax-hater Gorsuch yet.

The ADL has made an alliance with MAGA. Once you understand that, it's otherwise inexplicable moves make sense.
