Since "Operation Midway Blitz" began, an unassuming 2-story brick building in Broadview has been in the news. A cadre of attorneys and a judge today will be among the first outsiders to tour the building, as they litigate a class-action lawsuit about the facility’s allegedly inhumane conditions.

Even worse: charter schools and voucher schools (in Wisconsin, at least!) can pick and choose which students they accept, even expelling kids with special needs. That puts the cost back on public schools -- who are only reimbursed around 42.5% of the cost. It's a failed, unaccountable system.

can we not do “I’m in trouble domestically so let’s start a war” again

🚨CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU? CANCELLED The Trump administration just decided the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s funding is “illegal.” Great news if you love predatory lenders and hate guard rails. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently. This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

The median age of all U.S. homebuyers is now 59 years old. Just 15 years ago, it was 39 years old.

Why they were in the situation room yesterday...trying to figure out how to best divert attention away from the Epstein Files

I see this update every couple of days, but some days it just hurts harder. 1.15 million Russian lives ruined. All the lives lost or permanently changed in Ukraine. All because a rich asshole thought his greed for power was more important than anyone else. #FuckPutin #RussianWarshipGoFuckYourself

Here’s a gift link (no paywall) to the article, “Catholic bishops condemn ‘indiscriminate mass deportation’ in rare statement”: wapo.st/448fDw6

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

Every time I see a moderate arguing that some social change is coming too fast, I am reminded that a significant number of people in the antebellum South argued that they were fine with abolishing slavery, if only we could find a way to do it that didn't leave "good folks going hungry."

i feel like one thing that we should be making abundantly clear from now on is that the majority of anti-trans consent manufacturers are goddamn pedophiles. are you going to believe what a bunch of pedophiles say about us? what does that say about you?

Betcha didn't have money on the Catholic Church being the only institution with the spine to stand up to fascism this time round.

Wasn’t expecting the Epstein scandal to blow up the New York Times but sure, why not

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it. Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators. Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

Oh to be a cat in a Trader Joe’s bag who has no idea what a dissertation is

So, uh, the Jed Rubenfeld referenced here was disciplined by Yale Law for sexually harassing students. He's married to Amy Chua who among other things took to the pages of the NYT to defend Kavanaugh when he was under fire for sexually harassment. Ken Starr, well we know. This is just incredible.

a packed rec center where the testimonies are being live streamed. So far we have heard many testimonies from local residents including fishermen voicing their concerns about the possibility of an ICE detention center in town and concern about the removal of the coast guard helicopter

A young girl just spoke about how her father was kidnapped by ICE a few weeks ago and went on about how difficult it has been for her and her mother. Lots of tears in the room. Even as people continue speaking I can hear cars honking and people chanting “fuck ICE” outside

OH you mean the guy who refused to investigate sexual abuse among students when he was chancellor at Baylor was chummy with Epstein? NO I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT

The fact these emails are coming out because of a Lawrence O'Donnell interview and not bc of investigation by New York Times or Washington Post is not the strongest indictment of the media on tap tonight but it's up there.

Do people like Karoline Leavitt know they’re full of shit or do they still buy their own salad?

STARBUCKS WORKERS WILL BEGIN STRIKING ON 11/13 IF STARBUCKS DOESN’T COME THROUGH IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. Join them by not purchasing Starbucks products until the strike is over!!! Pass it on.

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

Stephanie MIller uses her appearance on Hannity to say Trump is all over the Epstein Files to the Fox audience..

I mean, I am somewhat glad the national conversation has shifted, but I am still worried about my ACA subsidies

Wait, what!? Ghislaine Maxwell is being waited on ‘hand and foot’ in a ‘luxury’ prison: a top official said he was ‘sick of having to be Maxwell’s bitch.’ Trump made sure the woman who helped traffic girls for billionaires gets spa treatment in exchange for her silence. #StopJohnsonsEpsteinCoveup

Not only was the Times obsessed with Hillary Clinton's emails while ignoring emails about Donald Trump sent to its own reporter, but since then it has constantly attacked anyone who dared look into questions of Trump's character. All with sanctimony. Now we know it was all a big lie.

The U.S. minted its final penny on Wednesday, ending a tradition that has lasted more than two centuries. TJ Dysart has more on 12 News at 10.

A thirteen point drop among Republicans you say?

MOULTON: If you're like Trump & took advantage of girls w/Epstein- SCARBOROUGH: We don't have evidence he took advantage of girls w/Epstein M: Common sense be damned S: Is he in the files? M: Obviously S: You have absolutely no evidence he took advantage of girls M: I think it's pretty obvious

So something this article mentions that I want to footstomp for folks that don’t work with the military: it’s an “up or out” institution where if you don’t get promoted, your career is over. To get promoted you need to have specific types of jobs on your record. This move effectively ends her career

🤢🤢🤢

me on 4th of December

🤢🤢🤢

Its here!!! And a first edition no less!

Isn’t this going to die in the senate?

But we can't have fucking health insurance or feed people 😡😡

For folks (and journalists) who want to search the Oversight Committee email texts, I made a database for searching the 20k text files: splendorous-chaja-f79791.netlify.app

Imagine trying to convince someone a decade ago that this sentence would be a 100% literally accurate description of the American political situation.

I've seriously been unplugged from Socials most of the day. So... it's a LOT to catch up on, gee wiz! Remember—it's okay to unplug if you need to. Information overload is a REAL thing. And you need to take care of you. The fight'll still be there tomorrow. Recharge and rest so you're ready.

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle. Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger. Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

I'm sure it wouldn't be surprising to find out this Godly man and his wife have been accused by all three of their children of abuse, with the middle child running away as a teenager to get away from them.

“We are disturbed when we see among our people a climate of fear and anxiety around questions of profiling and immigration enforcement. We are saddened by…the vilification of immigrants. We are concerned about the conditions in detention centers.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

You are infinitely closer to struggling than you ever will be to billionaires
