BREAKING: A federal jury in Brooklyn awarded our clients — 674 immigrants unlawfully jailed by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office — $112 million. Could not be more proud to work at @latinojustice.bsky.social and to partner with the talent of Winston & Strawn.

Now she is in a pickle.

Just heard Elise Stefanik is running for NY governor: Republicans have found a candidate even for charisma challenged than Kathy Hochul.

In the news summary, Neil Young and I talk about the passing of Vice President Dick Cheney, the shutdown, and Trump's tariff woes before turning to Tuesday's Democratic election tsunami. youtu.be/yoLcneDOhyQ

I'm glad that after getting creamed by the Democrats on Tuesday, Trump has decided that the route to popularity will be reducing flights as we enter the holiday season. Americans are going to love that!

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE MUST CREDIT: Lunch for jurors in the “sandwich guy” trial are a variety of sandwiches, according to a source familiar with lunch.

My history colleague, friend, and peace activist Jeremy Varon has a new book out about the coalition to end the "war on terror." Watch for a Political Junkie feature, and order it through your favorite independent bookstore or straight from the press! wagingnonviolence.org/2025/11/less...

Dying to know who the other four he had in mind were.

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

Hey Colorado!

Democrats, you understood the assignment. Rest tomorrow, then get up and get back to work.

Donald, you were on the ballot.

Cry harder, Donald. #ZohranMamdani #AbigailForGov #Sherrill #JayJones #Propostion50 #PASupremeCourt

Josh Shapiro is running an excellent organization in Pennsylvania

I bet it really helped Andrew Cuomo to be endorsed by Stephen Miller.

Tip O'Neill is dancing in heaven tonight.

ZOHRAN!!!!!!!!

Mikie Sherrill brings it the fuck home for the Democrats. Well done, girl.

Brooklyn is bringing it home for Zohran.

Every Virginia county--even the red ones--turned more blue tonight

JD Vance's half brother is crushed in his bid to become mayor of Cincinnati.

Watching Spanberger, I am reminded how recent it is for women to be elected governor: in 1975, Ella Grasso of Connecticut was the first woman elected governor in her own right. Two previous governors--Nellie Ross and "Ma" Ferguson completed their husbands' terms

Polls close in New York in 10 minutes.

With 6% of the New Jersey vote in, Ciattereli is underperforming Trump everywhere but Bergen County.

Only 29% of New Yorkers approve of Trump.

When was the last time you knew a politician, much less a president, use the words “Jew hater”? Every utterance a confession.

One of the things Dick Cheney’s death makes me think about is that men named Richard no longer call themselves Dick.

I cannot even begin to tell you how many astroturf anti-Mamdani influencers are on Threads tonight trying to suppress the Mamdani turnout.

Ah Bari, we thought we knew ye. pagesix.com/2025/11/03/e...

"The #Mamdani campaign’s strategy seems to combine vibrant personal appearances with a beautifully crafted social media campaign, one that meets young voters where they live but captures the hearts of their elders as well." #vote #Election2025 clairepotter.substack.com/p/a-democrat...

Groceries are just shockingly expensive. Even I—who studiously do not notice—have noticed.

You can't make this up.

Here's the whole podcast with Sam Tanenhaus, in which we dish everything Bill Buckley: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z-v...

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Watching a PBS story about how American researchers are being driven abroad by the Trump anti-science agenda

He purchased the whole MAGA playbook. Vile.

So nostalgic for that time in our national life when the worst we had to fear was Richard Nixon.

If right wing women really wanted to make public bathrooms safe for all they would stop trolling transwomen and retrain themselves to not piss on the seat.

Canceling newspaper subscriptions has become complete torture. I just had to do one through a chatbot that dropped twice, and a half hour later I may or may not have ended my fiscal relationship with them. towards the end I thought they were going to pay me for reading it.
