What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

How bad could it be that Ghislaine Maxwell lied so blatantly so recently? #TrumpEpstein

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

This is alarming. And def not how I was taught to read. "A shocking number of kids in the United States can't read very well. A third of all fourth-graders can't read at a basic level, and most students are still not proficient readers by the time they finish high school."

“Active and retired warfighters”??!!! That’s what Jonathan Lemire just said on @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social. Using Hegseth vocabulary now?!

A folk hero who is inspired to go on a spree of violence against Republican legislators after they cut food aid to families with children: John WIC.

“With its various tax relief provisions, the administration is now effectively adding hundreds of billions of dollars in new breaks for big businesses and investors.”

Seems like there should be a petition to write this into the plot of a future season of Slow Horses.

Trump trade war costs US Italian pasta: “Exporters say import and antidumping duties totaling 107% on their pasta brands will make doing business in America too costly and are preparing to pull out of U.S. stores as soon as January.” Via WSJ

I understand why everyone here is angry at the Dems. But 42% blame Dems already.

It seems to me a one-year extension of ACA support allows Dems to run on it next year. Seems smart. People know what the alternative would be with the GOP now.

With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

Crazy lines at Newark

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings." This is the stupidest & most dangerous administration in history. - Gaetano Does “gut feelings”, pay billions of dollars in lawsuits #FoxNews

Season 2 of Nobody Wants This: NYC.

This is what happens when Republicans are given the task of governing. Chaos, economic collapse, and suffering.

NYT: The tax cuts come amid “steep cuts to health care for the elderly and food stamps for the poorest Americans.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/b...

Three masked agents questioned an Illinois Department of Transportation employee about his immigration status — and if he had traveled to New York and was “aware” of the mayor-elect in New York City, the governor’s office said.

Now we know why he’s going to their game tomorrow.

do you remember the post a while back where someone suggested a sitcom where Cuomo and Dershowitz are roommates in new york city and every episode Cuomo loses an election and Dershowitz is refused a pierogi?

So, as I posted earlier with the lady who was calling churches to see if they would help and give her formula for her child, 3 out of 22 churches said that they would help. And just to see what would happen, she called a mosque and they asked her two questions: 1. Where are you? #USDemocracy

This is the true definition of depravity. He cancels this survey just before cutting Snap benefits for 42 million people #USDemocracy

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

How can anyone look at Musk and read his posts and think he should be leading anything?

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Trump sleeping in the middle of a meeting reminds me of how my late husband would suddenly fall asleep in his last year with Alzheimer’s. Never knew whether it was the disease or the drugs for it. We’ll never know with Trump.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This is everything wrong with our media.

🤷‍♂️

democrats, if bill kristol is to your left, you’re doing it wrong, and you will be primaried

This thread is horrifying, and is only happening with the complicity of Congress and the Supreme Court

@msnbc.com rebranding?

America's withdrawal from the World Health Organization is affecting the ability of U.S. scientists to track flu and other pathogens. That could be a blow to the development of the 2025 flu vaccine. n.pr/4onXnXP

Jeffries is not the messenger for us. He says the words but they sound like a script.

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.

Trump loves rich Muslims.

Text from a friend:

CNN: "A brand new report is out showing layoff announcements hit their highest level for October in over 20 years. It's painting a picture of a job market that is really hurting. US-based employers announced 150,074 job cuts in October, more than any October since 2003."

(Reuters) - Meta internally projected late last year that it would earn about 10% of its overall annual revenue – or $16 billion – from running advertising for scams and banned goods, internal company documents show. $META @reuters.com www.reuters.com/investigatio...

The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.

“Mamdani’s transition will be led by women leaders who’ve worked in the administrations of Bill de Blasio, Eric Adams and Michael Bloomberg.”

THE CITY spends 15 minutes with mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani: www.thecity.nyc/2025/11/05/m...

Love that Mamdani is calling out Cuomo on his racism and bigotry and a big “no thanks”.

City to Cuomo - Drop Dead.

Ramy Youssef is going to have a good gig on SNL this season. #MayorMamdani
