Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Trump fights to block food aid as layoffs surge, “Sandwich Guy” walks free, and GOP leaders scramble after election losses. From fake Walmart stats to courtroom defeats, the chaos keeps coming. Read our latest bulletin for all the news now:

Caught lying again.

In breaking news, a fed up Federal Judge Ellis issued from the bench a 90 minute preliminary injunction ruling against Trump’s shock forces being used in Chicago to menace and attack members of the press, clergy, veterans and first amendment protestors of Trump’s immigration policy, and found that

Democratic Rep. Yassamin Ansari was outside Mike Johnson's office today holding up a sign that read: "Mike Johnson is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein files. CHANGE MY MIND."

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

The long-buried second volume of Jack Smith's final report on Donald Trump's classified documents case may be one step closer to seeing the light of day. The 11th Circuit ordered Judge Aileen Cannon to rule on an application to release the report within 60 days. The Knight First Amendment Institute

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.

When you desperately want to starve Americans:

So... Trump was so upset about the #SNAP he's gonna take it out on our troops. @msnbc.com is gonna be all over this, right?

Yes! Let's dismantle the MAGA stronghold and show them that we won't stand for anti-vaccine rhetoric or their outdated policies! Time for change! #blueresistance

With the recent victories for Dems in the US, I'm urging my US friends that, now is not the time to take your foot of the gas. Celebrate the win, then push hard for change. Winning power is only the first step. Your guy now has to be held to account to fulfil promises and not capitulate an inch.

Wondering if Joe Flacco is doing OK after an AC joint sprain? Keep wondering. Bengals returning the KO for a TD.

Texans QB CJ Stroud, who took a hard hit while sliding, is headed to the locker room for further evaluation.

www.cnn.com/2025/11/01/b... Members of the White House press corps are now restricted from Press Secretary’s Office. New rule says journalists cannot access what’s known as the “Upper Press” office “without an appointment.” This area has been accessible to White House correspondents decades.

A deeply insecure unqualified child is in charge of our military because Trump thought he looked like “central casting” when he saw him on Fox, and he knew he is a weak minded fool who will eagerly cater to all Trump’s worst ideas and impulses.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

“If you can’t get a vote on your record, don’t play us against each other.” I’m grateful for the Rev. Sharpton’s powerful words of unity this morning and against the cynical politics of fear and division.

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026. If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it. So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.” Because that IS what they are going to say.

I’m just going to say it… It’s pretty damn validating to hear Barack Obama say the same things we’ve been shouting for months, and longer.

X should change its name again to maga.

Thank you Congressman Neguse for laying it plain.

Remember when Brett Farve stole SNAP money from MS???? Has he paid that back??

All this guy does is fly around with his girlfriend on private jets, cover up the Epstein files, and take credit for the investigative work of field agents. And he even regularly fucks that up.

I visited Grand Street Senior Housing on the Lower East Side today and tried a little Bomba y Plena…

More than a dozen Epstein survivors, along with the family of Virginia Guiffre, send a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson demanding he call the House back into session and swear in Adelita Grijalva. @jimacosta.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50. California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections. Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

A majority of Americans oppose President Trump’s demolition of the White House’s East Wing to make way for a 90,000-square-foot ballroom, a Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll found. Twenty-eight percent say they support the demolition project. https://wapo.st/47hh0Lc

A federal trial in Portland about the president’s authority to deploy the National Guard to the city got off with a stunning revelation: troops briefly deployed to a federal immigration building in South Portland this month, appearing to defy a court order. (via @opb.org)

When they can’t eat and can’t get medical care and can’t buy groceries. Maybe then the brain cells will kick in.

Jeffries: "Do what leaders do as opposed to being missing in actio for 28 days while finding $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina & destroying the historic parts of the WH so he can construct a ballroom where he'll be celebrated like a wannabe king. It's all outrageous stuff."

This is actually an urgent PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE

Hours before this he was bragging about how he supposedly aced a cognitive exam.

‼️ “This is a political decision — specifically, a Republican decision Despite the government shutdown, the SNAP program isn’t out of money. In fact, it has $5 billion in contingency funds, intended as a reserve to be tapped in emergencies. “ Paul Krugman open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

“Donald Trump demolishes White House without a permit, triggers a legal showdown he will not win Looks like he’s doing whatever he wants thinking no one can stop him.” Well, it seems he was right about no one being able to stop him from demolishing the East Wing. He did it openly and notoriously.

Americans-join an anti-Trump protest and vote blue.In November, because of Trump and the GOP, there won't be any money for food stamps. Thus, poor Americans, including grandmas, grandpas, and babies will go hungry.

(Negotiate today. End YOUR shutdown today. Be a real Leader... not just a trump toady who has the TITLE of 'leader!' The House is CO-EQUAL to the Executive branch. trump is crazy. Stand up to him. Stop being such a wimp!)

They broke 6 of his ribs! He’s 67 and kneeing him in the back so he can’t breathe. Sound familiar? These are racist, untrained, ignorant goons who are being paid to harm American citizens! Hold Noem accountable now! It has to stop now!
