So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

The corporate propaganda machine colluding with the Trump propaganda machine to lie to the American people about Thanksgiving.

I'm old. When in 1st grade, I often didn't have the 3 cents for a Salerno butter cookie & small bottle of milk. Hungry, embarrassed, I never forgot the feeling. We feed prisoners; we can feed school kids.

Good boy!

Landslide. Clean sweep. Whatever you want to call it, all TEN of our endorsed women in Virginia flipped seats tonight. Women are at the center of the fight to take back power.

I am not inspired by people who want to compromise on what is morally right and wrong. I hope she reads the room and decides to fight fascism, rather than to make friends with it. Learn from Biden’s mistakes.

The Illinois legislature had passed the “Illinois Bivens Act,” allowing people to sue ICE agents in state court. Just waiting for Pritzker’s signature. dailynorthwestern.com/2025/11/03/c...

Gaza death toll rises - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/gaza-death-toll-rises-37

This NYT story about how Mamdani dealt with the opposition by the city's elites fails to mention one particular elite institution: The NYT editorial page, which last June railed against him as "uniquely unsuited to the city’s challenges... lacks political savvy" www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/n... 1/

It would also be amazing if political reporters got off X for their reporting and view of the world and took a look at what happens on the ground

Can someone ask Mike Johnson how he can justify being Speaker of the House when he can’t answer a single question about what’s going on in this country?

New, from me: DHS says immigration enforcement employees like ICE are facing unprecedented threats and 1000% increase in assaults. But the data does not add up. Look at the details, and we see state agents using excessive force, and then lying about it. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa...

Donald Trump said ICE raids haven't gone far enough. Kristi Noem said no citizens have been detained in these raids. But we know the truth. Because we have story after heartbreaking story that proves otherwise. Listen to these brave Americans in their own words.

Trump can throw a temper tantrum to get ads like these pulled off of TV all he wants, but the words of Ronald Reagan cannot be silenced - and it's clear as day that even Reagan would think what Trump was doing right now on trade was completely asinine. #ResistTrump

An annual summit, organized by the nonprofit group After the Fire, brings together survivors, emergency responders and other disaster experts to trade ideas about recovery and to symbolically swear-in the latest class of devastated communities.

The 60 Minutes interview, in which Nora O’Donnell let Trump blather on with lie after lie without fact-checking him or pushing back, is a reminder of why we need journalists who will hold him accountable rather than just giving him a platform to spread lies.

From MFSO: You know who relies on foodstamps? 1.2 Million US Veterans.

Sometimes it’s best not to respond and just leave things alone.

OBAMA: “Is the economy working better for you? Because it sure has gotten better for Trump & his family… his billionaire friends, finance bros, well-connected corporations have seen their tax bill go down… But for ordinary families, costs have gone UP."

Why do people buy pizza with EBT? Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money. It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

Some good news joycevance.substack.com/p/good-news-...

(NYT: Free) The Rhode Island judge issued his WRITTEN order yesterday to follow up his verbal order, and ordered Trump to make payments for SNAP recipients by the first three days of this coming week, using one or two sources of funds. Will Trump remain an idiot? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/u...

Mornin' ☕

The sunrise here is spectacular

And yet they bang on about their "online safety bill" to "protect kids". Wheres the "protect kids" when it comes to kids seeking asylum?! Where is it when it comes to families with more than 2 kids?! The cuts in education support for disabled kids?!

Unaccompanied children are more likely to be mis-aged as adults than properly protected it seems. No child should be put in a position where they are at risk of being trafficked, or re-trafficked, yet that is exactly what the system does, a system which was meant to have been changed years back. 2/

"He deserves to be removed from office for the drug-war killings that he has orchestrated and carried out in the Caribbean. If such extrajudicial killings do not constitute “high crimes and misdemeanors,” then that term in the Constitution has been rendered meaningless." www.fff.org/2025/10/30/i...

A fantastic spooky season surprise! Instead of joining the extinct species list, the wolf spider has crept back onto the Isle of Wight after 40 years of ghosting. 🕷️🕸️ www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

They are happy to starve our children. Time that ALL Americans acknowledge that the GOP has zero interest in the welfare of the general population and cares only about the welfare of the billionaires and CEOs. apnews.com/article/snap...

November 20 is the Covenant House Sleep Out in EP. My company provides 2 paid Days of Service we can use to volunteer. I’ll be using one to sleep outside in solidarity with unhoused youth. If you can participate, please consider it. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 www.covenanthouse.org/get-involved...

FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

South Carolina schools recently sent home unvaccinated kids to stem a growing measles outbreak. It turned out 5 of them were infected and, if they'd been at school, could've unwittingly spread it to their classmates for days. That kind of precaution is now illegal in Idaho.

JUST THE FACTS…👇 Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) declaring he won't call the House of Representatives into session until JANUARY at the earliest, means this isn't a shut-down. This is a COUP. Fuck. Mike. Johnson. 😎✨

Ms. Collins: it is time for YOU to do something. Stop complaining and either ACT, DECIDE, and create MOTIONS for the Senate to consider, or RESIGN. VERY SIMPLE. Do ONE or the other.

Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives. All on the taxpayer’s dime. trib.al/TBvPo7A
