From Gavin Newsom:

tl;dr: The United States House of Representatives has unanimously passed a bipartisan resolution effectively declaring Senator Lindsey Graham to be a ridiculous twit

The White House dinner last night for MBS was a coterie of corruption & back channel access that has become synonymous with the #Trump regime— Notable Attendees: Elon Musk, Tim Cook, David Ellison, Marc Benioff, Michael Dell, David Sacks, Charles Schwab, Stephen Wynn and many more..

HAYES: “2 female reporters asking obviously totally newsworthy Q’s — one gets called ‘PIGGY’ the other gets called ‘INSUBORDINATE’ because she didn’t bow and scrape to the Saudi King.”

Oh my. James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists. Get this man in the Senate.

Jessica: This backfiring with the gerrymandering is a big deal. Trump asked Abbott to cheat for him. They try, they fail. And a Trump-appointed judge even helped with that. So now it looks like Republicans aren’t going to net any seats. It looks like Democrats could end up with an extra three seats.

“…the citizenry(of the United States)has never directly experienced any political system other than democracy, which makes us slow to recognize that ours, like any other democracy, will break if pushed too far.”

We’re seeing the folly in Trump’s prioritization of loyalty above competence. Sure, he got Lindsey Halligan to rush out that Comey indictment, but she predictably didn’t do it right. When you replace expertise with thoughtless sycophancy, you get failure. Congrats, Donald.

Don’t be mean & stupid! Vaccinate your kids! I had ALL of the “childhood diseases,” including polio, but we didn’t HAVE vaccines. I was lucky, only mild damage, but I knew others in leg braces, wheelchairs & even an iron lung. Horrifying. Measles is miserable.

Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge. The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

Seems like nosferatu wants the troops to follow unlawful orders.

Chris Hayes from MSNBC posted today asking followers about their favorite history books, and it warms my heart to see more than 2000 suggestions. Keep talking books! Books matter! Books rock! 📚💙

flip.it/fX-SIq. And the three factors are Republicans Republicans Republicans.

When you giddily go about firing all the experts, if you're lucky what you have left when you need that expertise is incompetence and embarrassment. If not lucky, then a Frankenstein's monster of disaster.

Writing an 80 zillion character post about the Epstein files definitely makes you seem extremely innocent and not literally shitting your pants.

This makes me so angry I can’t see 🤬🤬🤬

Kyle Rittenhouse got run out of PA last week, and I’m sad I missed it. 😂 atlantablackstar.com/2025/11/17/r...

Starbucks can end this today: bargain in good faith, resolve unfair labor practices, and stop the union-busting. Until then, workers are holding the line! #NoCoffeeNoContract

GOOD MORNING ! Feel totally FREE to criticize @realDonaldTrump.......daily !

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

Fox Business credulously reports that Saudi Arabia is pushing its investment into the US "to $1 trillion." The entire size of the Saudi economy is $1 trillion. How stupid are these people and/or how stupid do they think their viewers are?

Cancel your Spotify subscription until the ICE ads stop. There are other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

The House takes 2 months off & finally reports back to work & promptly spends the next week filing censure motions against each other & attending black tie dinners w/Saudis while the clock counts down for 24 million people to have their health insurance premiums spike in 42 days.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks: “Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Mob boss attacks female reporter again for her “attitude” and says he will ask his FCC commissioner to look into revoking her company’s broadcast license.

Every outlet worth a damn should be calling this out. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

DOJ will refuse to release the Epstein files based on their sham "ongoing investigation." Bookmark it.

Swalwell: Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, you should familiarize yourselves with this room. Get to know that witness chair — you’re going to be parked in it for a long time. Accountability is coming.

JUST IN: A federal judge has thrown out DOJ’s lawsuit to compel NY to aid in immigration arrests at state courthouses. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Many communities in Charlotte, North Carolina, were reeling after federal Customs and Border Protection teams descended on the city at the weekend and arrested at least 81 people.

Kristi Noem is mad that protesters are blowing whistles at ICE agents.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Trump: “Prices at McDonald’s are coming down.” Reality:

No-o-o-o-o! It's depressing having darkness arrive before you even get home from work.

LOL. Why does he need to sign a bill to release the files when he can just RELEASE THE FILES?

Admitting is the first step. Well done. #leopardsatemyface #Politics #News

Survivor condemns “insane levels of institutional betrayal” amid Epstein file delays Jess Michaels, a survivor of Epstein’s abuse, joins The Weeknight to explain how meeting with members of Congress over the scandal has led to what she calls “insane levels of institutional betrayal and cowardice.”

Cave-Man open.substack.com/pub/steady/p... Excellent read from Dan Rather. Trump is losing power among MAGA Congresspersons, and also some of his constituency is defecting. This makes for possible catastrophes as tRump is trying to deflect with a possible war in the Caribbean. #TrumpHasGotToGo

Policy merits or demerits aside, it is logistically impossible to set up a brand new HSA scheme in the next six weeks. I suspect it could prove logistically impossible to execute in the next six months. People are picking their plans for 2026 between now and January 15.

David Richardson, the acting administrator of FEMA, has resigned after six months, leading to more uncertainty at the already gutted agency.

They’re not going after criminals. “Criminals don’t get up and go to work and pay their bills.” These are not criminals; they’re hard-working people. EVERY LAST WORD OF THIS🔥

From Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, we’re saying “We Ain’t Buying It” and asking Americans to hit pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=ind_wabi
