NEW: This is one hell of an opening paragraph from Jim Comey's attorneys in his motion to get the grand jury materials in the case against him.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

This is very interesting!

In the richest city on Earth, 40% of NYC families can’t afford weekly food costs, and food prices are up 33% over the past decade. It’s time for a city government that puts affordability at the top of the agenda.

Dear ICE: They don't let you wear a mask in your mug shot.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

About half of what it was going to cost to fully fund SNAP in November during the shutdown.

I worked with @aftynbehn.bsky.social at @indivisible.org and she was one of the best organizers around. Please do everything in your power to support her!

To repeat: I have studied a lot of cases of autocratization over the past 15 years. Wrote about them, taught about them, consulting about them. I do not recall an opposition so apathetic, ignorant, and inept as the @democrats.org. They cling to their power, rather than fight for democracy. Shame.

The verdict comes after the case came to represent broader resistance in the nation's capital to the Trump administration's law enforcement surge to the city. n.pr/47rmYsS

Gov. Josh Shapiro: "This is a president who doesn't respect the rule of law and doesn't respect the people of this country enough to let them go to the polls and make up their own minds without him trying to interfere in that process…We're going to continue to stand up to him."

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

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.

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.

¡Me complace anunciar mi Regalo de Pavos para el Día de Acción de Gracias! Este evento anual tendrá lugar el sábado 22 de noviembre a las 11:00 h en el Centro Recreativo Riggs LaSalle. 🦃

Way more.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

Today is only the beginning. Our time has come, New York. Our time is now.

Welp — @davidhogg.bsky.social to Scott Jennings: "People are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country. That’s why Zohran is resonating."

JUST IN: Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assemblymember, will make history as the first Muslim and South Asian person — as well as the youngest in over a century — to serve as New York City mayor.

Every person in science I talked to yesterday brought up the filibuster. (!!) So I recorded a video explainer on it. Should we be worried about getting rid of the filibuster? In short, no. Though there are a few wrinkles.

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity. And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

A former Ward 2 ANC just filed a complaint about CM Pinto's (mis)use of Office resources. She sent a citywide mailer days before she announced a run for districtwide office. drive.google.com/file/d/1qP9V...

We had an amazing time last night with @michaelemann.bsky.social and @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social as they discussed their new book #ScienceUnderSiege! One poignant quote: “Anti-science is a lethal force.” Standing up for science saves lives! ✊

Correction: We are 'intentionally behind' on privacy regulations. Congress does not WANT to regulate big tech, or it would have already. Lobbyists win over 'doing the right thing' every single time.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

I really like Van Hollen. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/u...

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's. If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too. It's just a question of political will.

Would you believe that Bill Gates himself is an investor in the airline that deports people? Yes, he is. The "Billionaire philanthropist' is enabling kidnapping and deporting people. He doesn't care. It makes him money. www.huffpost.com/entry/bill-g...

Thank you, Senator Warren.

We can set an example for the whole nation in this election.

Anyone know why a fighter jet just flew over between Union Station & the US Capitol? @nbcwashington.com @maustermuhle.bsky.social

Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
