New: Women candidates, running on affordability, powered many of Dems’ big wins last night. Aside from the VA and NJ gov races, women made up a large % of those who flipped VA House seats + set a record for women’s representation in that chamber 19thnews.org/2025/11/demo...

NEW: Billions of pounds of food are imported to the U.S. each year. The FDA inspects foreign producers to ensure what we're eating is safe from pathogens and dangerous manufacturing practices. But now, after Trump's drastic staff cuts, these inspections have plummeted to a historic low. 🧵/

"Having somebody hungry and worried about feeding their own children is an enormous amount of stress." For domestic workers who count on SNAP, Trump's shutdown is hitting hard.

SCOOP (free, as it's FOIA-based!): I obtained 1,665 pgs of documents about "Bicken Ben," a growing private school the Zuckerbergs ran illegally out of their Palo Alto compound Neighbors complained the school for years. Then, in 2024, they reached their breaking point: www.wired.com/story/mark-z...

Maybe nobody in the great big world cares about this. But the public libraries in tiny Jefferson County in Northern Appalachia were in danger of losing their tax funding thanks to right-wing book banners. And we won. The library's funding is safe!!!!!

Don't fret about it. Once that big new ballroom gets finished, the American people are going to happy as hell.

Oh

A video went viral nationwide with claims that the state’s Democratic establishment tricked Chinese seniors into voting for Prop. 50. The monolingual seniors depicted in the video, however, tell Mission Local that it’s bogus. And they’re mad. missionlocal.org/2025/11/vira...

Ouch

NEW: Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky has conceded. A stunning defeat for a MAGA media fixture who built a national profile on claims of a "complete gang takeover" of Aurora that led President Trump to visit and falsely proclaim the city "conquered" by an immigrant gang

*cut to campaign logo* "I'm [insert name here], Democrat for Congress, and I approve this message."

As I was saying

WATCH body cam video of an ICE agent arrested for DUI after his shift at the Broadview facility. He crashed into some bushes after officers found him asleep at the wheel and knocked on the window. "Oh this is a fun one,” the officer tells his sergeant. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/05/i...

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.

At least 20 people have died in ICE custody in 2025, making this year the deadliest in decades. With increases to ICE’s funding, workforce, and detention space, the system riddled with abuse and neglect will undoubtedly be more life-threatening in 2026. www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

Loevy plays a video of a woman's arrest. Hewson says the woman was "assaultive" because she kicked a can of tear gas that had been deployed. Loevy: "When you tear gas somebody … and they try to kick the tear gas canister away from them, that's assaulting?" Hewson: "Yes."

Hewson also says tear gas "doesn't harm people." Loevy: "It really should be a last resort, would you agree?" Hewson: "No."

For the love of god can we build housing instead?

i know he’s fun to laugh at but we really need to start enforcing corruption laws again, and the statute of limitations has absolutely not run out

grok, do soldiers historically remain reliable if they go hungry?

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, fresh off a redistricting win, is planning to travel to COP30 in Brazil next week to showcase America’s resolve for addressing the climate crisis.

oh my god they actually did it lmao

i’m at damen/belle plaine in chicago’s north center neighborhood for an emergency anti-ice rally. around 7 a.m. this morning, masked federal agents chased a preschool teacher *into* nearby rayito del sol and abducted her—in front of traumatized children, parents, and coworkers.

"Trump canceled your flight" is about as easy as messaging gets.

Trump is utterly a creature of self preservation and if he continues to sink he’ll find people to blame. May I nominate Stephen Miller.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

There were 13 elections last night for a statewide office. Democrats swept all 13. That’s 1 in NJ. 3 in VA. 2 in GA. And 7 in PA (all judges, retention and regular). They won 12 of the 13 races by double-digits, with margins up to 24%. The only other race, the tightest, they won by 6%.

When I run errands these days, I make sure I have my keys, my phone and my whistle. I wear the whistle in case I spot Homeland Security thugs terrorizing people and need to alert my neighbors. Lots of people are wearing them. That’s how Trump has changed life in my hometown, Evanston, IL.

Not to replace substance with message but I genuinely do not think that the GOP establishment is prepared, nor capable, of regulating itself in a world where all high profile democrats are directly staring into a camera and telling Trump to go fuck himself.

it's down the list but FIFA needs to be dismantled too

I'm hard-pressed to think of a non-Jewish Democratic politician who has spoken to Jews with more respect and empathy than Mamdani. The fact that many Jewish establishment orgs are going after him while staying relatively mum on resurgent Nazism is a disaster, both for American Jews and in general.

Pelosi: "Trump is a vile creature. The worst thing on the face of the earth. Because he's the president of the United States and he doesn't honor the Constitution of the United States."

I think about Steve Bannon's acid jacuzzi all the time

The manosphere bros are freaking out.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Anyone know of a decent place to sublet or rent in Chicago? Looking to find something relatively soon

Heartbreaking: Under Trump's ICE terror, a 2-year-old Chicago girl was tear-gassed while walking with her mom-burning eyes, screams of 'Ouch! Mommy!' This isn't enforcement; it's state-sponsored child abuse.

WAR ON THANKSGIVING

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

"She enthusiastically complimented my bangs and I was later disturbed to discover that she’d been arrested in 2022 for breaking into the apartment building of a New York City councilmember and vandalizing his office building with homophobic messages." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"The number one thing everyone at the Curtis Sliwa election night watch party could agree on was loving Curtis Sliwa. The number two thing was hating Andrew Cuomo. Aside from that, it was kind of a mixed bag." Fun read from @schuylermitchell.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Sliwa would not say who offered the alleged 7 bribes, including one at $10 million, trying to get him to drop out. But this is what he did say, which includes an allegation that Cuomo was behind it. (The campaign denies this.)

I checked in with Curtis Sliwa. He still doesn't care what you think. "Everybody loves Curtis,” the failed Republican candidate told me a couple hours ago, despite mounting evidence to the contrary. New @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

As far as I can tell, this is attack is entirely rooted in Mamdani's criticism of the government of Israel, which the American electorate appears to be increasingly inclined to agree with.

Golden gives a lot of reasons. But the first one he lists is threats to his family and political violence in general. (despite the paywall, you can listen to it)
