this is the craziest thing I've read in a long time???? Meta projected that 10% of its revenue last year, $16 billion, came from scams. Meta intentionally charges the scammers MORE and knows that people who click on scams are more likely to see more of them www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Choose your PhD dissertation from today’s news: -man collapses during White House press conference, Trump T-poses as RFK flees -Elon Musk’s USAID body count rises over 600k -lawsuit against OpenAI for multiple AI-assisted suicides -Mike Johnson’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Trump’s face just screams, “You had to go and ruin my moment with a medical emergency, didn’t you? Screw you.”

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.

RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible

SANDWICH TERRORISM IS NOW LEGAL?!?!

SANDWICH GUY WALKS FREE

At a Wednesday evening rally, 47th Ward Ald Matt Martin said parents from the school arranged legal rep for Ms. Diana, though they were unsure where she had been taken. “There cannot be a reformist mindset for this agency... We need to call for the abolition of ICE," said State Sen. Mike Simmons.

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."

A Border Patrol agent who shot a woman five times on Chicago’s Southwest Side later bragged about his shooting skills to friends: “I’m up for another round of ‘f--- around and find out.’” chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

BREAKING: Men who can’t even keep the government open write letter to a third man, whose high court regularly publishes anonymous orders, to complain about anonymous criticism from lower court judges.

I'm sorry, the United States senator is a "guardian" of what country? I feel like there's one correct answer here, and if that answer isn't "the United States," then we have an issue.

We all need a dream. Help Clare throw a heater right across the Blue Jays home plate! (chewing tobacco optional)

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Judge orders DoJ to text sorry to Anna Bower

“Aren’t dictators great folks? I’ve always said I wish I could be a dictator. And I’d be very great at dictating. Speaking of great, you know what isn’t great? JD. He knows what I’m talking about. Not great!”

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown. The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

MAMDANI: "We will leave mediocrity in our past. No longer will we have to open a history book for proof that Democrats can dare to be great."

"You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.” Fucking SAVAGE for him to invoke Mario Cuomo.

Mamdani: "We believe in standing up for those we love. Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job ... your struggle is ours too."

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger. Gen Z women aren't playing around.

this is an obvious overcorrection that misleads the polling data and will lead to disaster in the Heartland. the results of tonight show that the Democrats should moderate: adopting two or at most three of the five pillars of Islam

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

Gentlemen: thank you for your service.

"If there's one thing I know it is that power can always be made ridiculous. The bigger that fellow gets, the harder my laughter will hit him." - Charlie Chaplin, on laughing at fascists, as discussed in this great @ptklein.com piece: www.howtoreadmovies.com/how-to-laugh...

🧊✈️ ICE AIR CHARTER FLEET🧵 Most ICE flights are operated by Avelo Airlines, GlobalX, Eastern Air Express, Omni Air International, and Key Lime Air. Here's a list of planes flying for ICE ⤵️

It's not just here but in some charged threat cases where DOJ is treating, "you're a Nazi" or "you're a fascist" as a threat rather than a reasonable observation.

"Do you recognize that sandwich?" is an all-timer cross-examination question.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest. The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says. "I could smell the onions and mustard."

china’s space programme is literally cooking

The thing you have to ask yourself is, how would that possible affect benefits. Once you answer that question, THEN you can get mad.

Per NYPost's scoop, some of the ways Mamdani's wife has "quietly steered" his campaign are weighing in on his logo design, being "a major source of support for him in private" and once posting on Instagram, "Couldn't possibly be prouder."

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums. He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up. How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

New awareness campaign

This scammer (SouljaBoy) still owes me for his LAST console that was never shipped and/or probably never existed. I bought it because I thought it would be funny to review, and while I’ll grant that the novelty of saying, “SouljaBoy owes me $120,” has not been without value, I’d rather the money.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

He is beyond parody at this point. An actual Sgt. Schultz from Hogan's Heroes. #AlsoANazi

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.) www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...

WHO IS THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE PRESIDENCY??? #WITAOTP

ICE shooting a food bank worker in the back is a little on the nose for the current moment
