"Shortly after midnight...300 agents...stormed the 130-unit apartment complex. SWAT teams rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades." Agents zip-tied and detained US citizens for hours. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

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.

So, does the Supreme Court’s blanket immunity they gave Trump save him from the Epstein scandal?

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

You might have heard about my opponent, Virginia Foxx, for the first time recently, but she's been terrible for her entire career. As a journalist, I covered her for decades — now, I'm running against her to be a strong voice against corruption and for NC-05. Will you stand with me?

🔥 “I’ve never seen this level of grift” @RepMcGovern on the @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty self-dealing money grab, giving themselves MILLIONS for being investigated in connection with Trump’s attempt to undo our democracy.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

When you think he can’t be even more disgusting and you hear more BS

Donald and Stefan Brodie built a resin manufacturing business, then sold it for billions, but are still dogged by a criminal conviction over two decades ago.

Thousands protest Jared Kushner-linked development on site of bombed-out Belgrade building

Smart move by the UK The UK, NZ, CN, AU should remove the US from the Five I’s, but unfortunately the US bankrolls most of the systems, & owns the majority of the satellites & ground stations

TELL IT!!

"COULD you die if you get on an airplane due to the horrifically negligent way that the current administration has run the government? Yes. WILL you die? Very likely. Can it be prevented? Unfortunately, no. Other than that, we urge people not to worry about air travel."

On Veterans Day, Barack Obama surprised an entire aircraft full of veterans.

Your daily reminder. You have a sexual predator in the WH. Swear in Adelita Grijalva. Maxwell is guilty. #TrumpEpsteinCoverup Thanks, @jesscraven101.bsky.social 💙

It's nice to see some people wake from their zombified state to realize the insurgency has taken over with their help. Derp.

Nice job #SelloutSenators

@glennkirschner.bsky.social @weissmann.substack.com @tribelaw.bsky.social This opens the door for Jack Smith to challenge Trump’s INVALID PARDON Present the case of Insurrection in the Supreme Court. He cannot pardon his co-conspirators or himself.

A federal judge is directing the #WhiteHouse to reinstate sign language interpreters at many press briefings months after they were abruptly removed. #disabilities #accessibility

Surprise, surprise,surprise 🤮

Shots fired at ICE GOONS in Chicago!

The restaurant where I order my poke bowl changed their ingredients and upped the price. So I get less fresh food, more ultra processed crap, AND I have to pay more for that 🙄 So fine, I bought everything I need to make them now because fuck that shit Like $25 for a rice bowl like come on

Look at what this garish, classless, tasteless fool has done to the People’s House.

They smell blood... even Russia is wading in. The BBC is not perfect, but globally it is the number one trusted broadcaster. Private individuals can be bought and manipulated— publicly owned, not so much. It's why they want to destroy it, and why we should protect it. Cartoon Ben Jennings

Went on LBC News earlier to discuss the BBC shambles. I said the BBC has kowtowed to Trump in the US and conservative outlets here - both of which want the Beeb dead. Two of the most senior people quit over a 10-second clip using Trump’s exact words, albeit put closer together than he’d like.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

NEW: James Comey files additional argument to get criminal case dismissed as "vindictive prosecution": "The indictment in this case is unique in American history: it is the product of a yearslong campaign by the President of the United States to punish a citizen for protected speech"

New York Attorney General Letitia James moved to dismiss the felony charges against her, calling the prosecution "flagrantly unconstitutional" and vindictive. The charges came after Trump ordered the DOJ to pursue James more aggressively earlier this year. https://bit.ly/487Ympi

When you can’t afford health insurance just remember that Sen. Kaine is sleeping well

This wasn’t the final vote Call your Senators 202-224-3121 Fight don’t fold!! To vote YEA Is to betray Please save ACA

I'll see if I can still get healthcare with promises of payment. But since providers aren't Senate Dems, I think it's unlikely they'll agree to give me something for nothing.

@kaine.senate.gov You've earned the name Kave-In-Kaine. What a betrayal to all who have willingly stood strong. You know the definition of STUPID.... Doing (in this case, believing) the same thing but expecting different results. You have now become the Democrat's Susan Collins.

This is a civil war. Lincoln had McClellan, Hooker and Pope. He junked them for Grant, Sherman and Sheridan We have Schumer, Durbin and Cortez Masto in our leadership. Act Blue, lose my fucking number until we're clean of generals who can't fight or discipline the troops. No cash for this shit.

Q: So Dr Oz said that-- JEFFRIES: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr Oz seriously.

TENNESSEE FARMERS: “The tariffs pass down to the consumer… had to take on 2nd & 3rd jobs… 4 blood pressure pills a day…” Why won’t Republicans fight for them and ask Trump to stop the pain instead of supporting this like @MattForTN Van Epps & @rustygrills & @MarshaBlackburn?

Italy’s biggest pasta exporters say import and antidumping duties totaling 107% on their pasta brands will make doing business in the U.S. too costly.

Timur Mindich, a businessman who is reportedly at the center of a major corruption probe, is a close associate of President Volodymyr Zelensky with interests in multiple industries.
