Never forget that just a week ago, Ross Douthat and the NYTimes were asking if women ruined the workplace.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Reupping. Lots of people laughing that Trump has confessed his tariffs drove up prices. Too many aren't mentioning that he'll have to pay the tariffs back, meaning there'll be no $$ for rebates. Trump has only bankrupted consumers and created a big hole in his budget. youtu.be/0zjd_SkvN9c?...

They're running from it now. But the fact that Senate Republicans tried to give 10 of their colleagues at least $1 million each for nothing but a bogus press op captures the corruption of Trump II. In no other environment wld this even occur to the most corrupt politicians.

This!

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Hi @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app, what is up with this👇 ? Either make your case openly or apologize. substack.com/@sarahkendzi...

The furor over the death of a Colombian fisherman has ignited a feud over the huge U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean and the legality of the deadly attacks on nearly 20 vessels since September.

After Ghislaine Maxwell lied to Todd Blanche, someone waived her sex offender status and moved her to Club Fed with "OUT" custody - allowing her to work outside the prison walls. 3 months ago, I got her Bureau of Prisons points screen as proof. We still don't know who approved all this.

(AP) — A confidant of Bill Pulte .. provided confidential mortgage pricing data from Fannie Mae to a principal competitor, alarming senior officials .. who warned it could expose the company to claims that it was colluding with a rival to fix mortgage rates. apnews.com/article/fann...

the thing that strikes me about this — again, besides it being false — is the venom and disrespect for the people who come here to work and build better lives. they aren’t “servants.”

Trump’s new “affordability” push is basically reversing the tariffs he said would never cause un-affordability. @nytimes.com 🤡 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

There sure is a lot of missing evidence when it comes to DHS.

A pro-voting group sued Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) Tuesday, accusing him of launching a retaliation campaign meant to intimidate and suppress Latino voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The America First guy has brought in 566 foreign workers during his 5 years in office to work at his companies instead of hiring Americans. And counting.

Priorities.

Hegseth has a memorial to Black Soldiers who fought in World War II removed from an American military cemetery in The Netherlands. Pure racism. www.cnn.com/2025/11/13/p...

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

This is a disaster. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

SNAP embarrassed him. So now he's against SNAP. SNAP is now the James Comey of government assistance programs.

"In losing, Dems have said: we will relinquish future opportunities to use deadlines to bend Trump to our will. That is a posture of weakness that voters will pick up on." On the pod, @brianbeutler.bsky.social has good ideas for Ds to salvage something from shutdown: newrepublic.com/article/2029...

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

Think about it…

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

One point worth emphasizing here: The punditry has been saying Sherrill (and Spanberger) represent the sane centrist wing of the party versus the left. Well, okay, but here Sherrill is urging more fight. Again, the results show that anti-Trump + affordability can *unite* the party. This shows how.

The only thing these caving Senators are closer to tonight is retiring.

Absolute blather, @hassan.senate.gov— you kept the government shut all this time for what?! To cave now for a guarantee of nothing. You think Trump cares about shame?

This is really telling! It doesn't work like that anymore, bud. None of it works like that — even if it did on Jan. 19.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but you do not keep the government shut for more than a month and then NOT get a deal on the main item you have been messaging on without completely shifting the blame dynamic.

This. @schumer.senate.gov, step down.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

Reporter: What do you say to your colleagues who say this isn't a fight, this is a capitulation? Shaheen: We have a guaranteed vote by a guaranteed date… Reporter: There is no guarantee that this will become law. Shaheen: There was never a guarantee that it would be become law.

Sen Gary Peters is in his own way the biggest embarrassment of the lot. He’s been a leader of Team Cave and he’s retiring. So there’s no politics or risk aversion. He wants to cave as a matter of genuine principle.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This right here.

After 40 days of the government shutdown, a small — but large enough — group of Democrats has caved.

The arrogance of a Senator who is not even running again to take the lead in undermining the Caucus and the voters.

@schumer.senate.gov You let this happen. You voted no, but we all know you let this happen.

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

@durbin.senate.gov @hassan.senate.gov Retiring doesn’t mean caving. 🤦🏻

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.

“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

If the terms of this “deal” are as reported, just while Trump is at his weakest in a year, than it’s hard to see how anyone pushing wouldn’t be primaried. But it could be that a bunch of retiring Senators who are taking point in negotiations want to pull a Sinema.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

@schumer.senate.gov Do not let this happen. Do not cave.
