just a reminder this guy slashed the tires on his much younger female coworkers tires to trick her into getting in his car he was married at the time

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

1. BREAKING The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a statement admonishing the Trump administration’s immigration actions. The last time they issued such a statement was in 2013 in response to contraception mandates.

Ken Starr signed an email to Jeffery Epstein with "hugs"

My god (sorry I’m late on a bunch of this stuff. But wow!) According to this NYT report, the head of the FBI and the Attorney General are holding meetings *in the Situation Room* with GOP lawmakers they are trying to pressure to rescind their votes to release the Epstein info. This is madness.

uh, holy shit? apnews.com/article/trum...

What do you mean "with Trump around"

Recent history has shown that attorneys and jurists can play a big role in bringing their nations back from the brink of autocracy. That day is coming for us as well. The Lawyers March for Democracy kicks off on Nov 15 @1pm: @skennedy2504.myatproto.social in @newrepublic.com

🧵On our revelations today about the BBC Coup and the Prescott Dossier. The leaked ‘BBC Bias’ memo Trump used to attack the BBC was authored by Michael Prescott — a Hanover lobbyist paid by US tech/media giants tied to Trump. Full story: bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/b... 1/12

Brave students, researchers and faculty speaking. No senior leadership to be found. youtu.be/kX7ha1i5cGI?...

🚨Be prepared for ICE to pull out a loaded firearm and point it at you for any given reason at any given time. The government of the USA in 2025 has declared war on citizens. Grateful the police sent ICE away - for now. 1/2

UPDATE — Here are the at least 11 congressional Democrats, 11 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 6 Democratic Senate candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

The fix is in. Ghislaine Maxwell, transferred to a club med prison after Trump's lawyer met with her (and she likely spilled what she knows about Trump), is now being waited on "hand and foot" by guards and is getting her commutation application ready with help from the warden.

From the outside it might look like ICE officers wear masks to avoid accountability, but in reality they are a way to avoid accountability. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

No one will ever sum up Bari Weiss's career more succinctly than "what's the point of standards"

Can everyone stop pretending that the new CBS is in the news business, and admit that it’s a post-truth propagandistic organization, now that they openly admit it?

Joyce Carol Oates is an American hero

"truly it was out of curiosity"

I've said it before, and I will say it again. We need courageous leaders that put working families at the center of all they do. 8 democrats caving to empty promises is an indefensible leadership failure For the sake of our country, Schumer needs to resign.

Happy to report that the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign academic senate overwhelmingly passed a resolution against the federal “compact” all of us in higher ed have been offered, encouraging our administrators to keep opposing it. #MADC www.senate.illinois.edu/2025-2026/20...

Greg Bovino, everybody.

The only play the Heat had with 0.4 seconds left was a lob and the Cavs just let them take it. 😒

Yup, and the damage isn’t so much in the story as in the proof of weakness. Trump now knows he has new torture tools to make Dems do what he wants. It’s why at least one of the 7 capitulators oughta be run out of office now, mid session. Get that number down to 6. www.offmessage.net/p/16-thought...

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...

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

This allows Trump (via DOJ) to use taxpayer money to bribe eight GOP Senators. It's that simple, there's no other way to describe it. And where's the compensation for people injured by the Trump admin's unlawful conduct through DHS & DOGE? Take a bow, @schumer.senate.gov, you did this.

"Democratic capitulators whose seats would be filled by Democratic governors in the event of vacancy (Durbin, Fetterman, Kaine, King) should be under immense pressure to resign mid-session. Now, even. Or in Kaine’s case, after Abigail Spanberger is sworn in. If your senator fits that bill, get loud"

This isn’t about left vs. right. This is about fighting back vs. losing. The regime’s threats are too real and the stakes are too high to settle for the feckless, loser version of the Democratic Party we saw this week. In this moment when fascists are on the march, we need leadership with a spine.

Update: In 3 recent editorials, WaPo failed to disclose owner Jeff Bezos's interest in the matter under discussion. WaPo added one disclosure after @bgrueskin.bsky.social called it out. Two weeks after my story, the other two editorials still have none. And the paper still won't say why

lol

Still true

Shaheen is retiring; Virginia is solid enough Blue territory that Kaine shld be replaced by a Democrat who is serious about preserving American democracy.

Oh @durbin.senate.gov is out on this surrender publicly and he is openly being contemptuous of the base - sounding like the coward he has always been. Via @notus.com

cool to mention SNAP, which was unpaid because the admin chose to affirmatively suspend it, and not due to the shutdown, and ICE being paid "due to a special law" when they were being illegally paid despite the shutdown. So in both cases not tied to the shutdown, but the admin's general lawlessness

Still true

The 2026 primaries could be the bloodbath Dem incumbents largely avoided in 2018
