1-800-Come On Now The only actual confrontation Vova encounters are his chemical hallucinations about living to be 175, not actual citizens of the Russian federation.

A federal judge has ruled that the partisan language the Trump admin added to the out-of-office emails of furloughed Education Department employees violates their First Amendment rights.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Oregon just issued a permanent injunction barring the Trump admin from deploying the National Guard to the streets of Portland.

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.

Short-term legal win, long-term political loss.

An Illinois Department of Transportation employee was stopped by ICE agents while working on a Park Ridge construction project Friday morning — and questioned about incoming New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani before being released. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

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...

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.

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...

Oh

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!!!!!

"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.

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. 🧵/

This picture of my Congressperson, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, is on my office door. Making working women and their kids and grandkids visible is among her many legacies.

New Jersey voted on Tuesday for a candidate who aims to keep the state’s climate ambitions alive. The long-held vision of offshore wind turbines being central to these goals endures—for now.

This is a really hard day and I want to just add as WIRED's politics editor -- WIRED's politics reporting isn't going anywhere. We are very much here and won't stop. Please continue to read and support us - canceling your subscription to WIRED is not standing in solidarity with our journalists.

Optimus robots will just kinda follow criminals around and make sure they don't commit crimes again, so we can eliminate prisons. These are all things Elon Musk is literally saying.

Lettuce now praise famous men

Tesla's board just voted to give Musk a $878 Billion pay package...

if someone is willing to pay for the products, i'd be willing to purchase these items, deconstruct them, and give them to expert tailors, shoemakers, and craftspeople for review. i will also see if i can track down the factories. i would be interested to know if these items are made in the US

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

It’s pretty crazy that in 2025 the Republican Party is split on whether Jew hating is a good thing or a bad thing.

actual communism

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now. Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it. Don’t forget this.

Weird how this coincides with the seventh congressional district, the only remotely competitive district left in Tennessee

A Border Patrol agent bragged about shooting someone, texts show - @motherjones.com (He said, and I quote: "Sweet. My fifteen mins of fame. Lmao.”) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)

Trump just gave $40 billion in taxpayer dollars to Argentina to bail out its libertarian president.

Indeed, he was allowed to to kill all those children because he is so rich

These are crimes against humanity. None of us is capable of truly internalizing suffering at this scale. Elon Musk and many other members of the Trump Administration should be put on trial at The Hague.

Curtis Yarvin is planning flee the country. Steve Bannon is worried about returning to prison. Don't listen to anyone who says the fascists have already won. The future is not yet written.

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

Why are we treating a consumer product that can cause psychosis or even kill people as something like a microwave that needs a firmware update instead of being classified as the most dangerous hallucinogen on the planet?

A woman working as a cleaner was shot dead after she arrived at the wrong address for a cleaning job in Whitestown, Indiana. Police said they found the woman dead on the front porch, after responding to a call about a “possible home invasion.”

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

Proof (if we needed it) that algorithmic amplification is dramatically accelerating, and perhaps even driving, the unravelling of our democracies. Fixing the problem means tackling the algorithms themselves, not just trying - and failing - to address the harms they cause. on.ft.com/49LNvCy

Another day, another grossly corrupt act.

Immigration judges with prior immigrant defense work make up the largest share of those fired by the Trump admin. NPR identified 70 fired immigration judges. The changes have at least shifted perception of fairness in these courts My latest investigation: www.npr.org/2025/11/06/g...

Chris Rufo/Ron DeSantis overhauled New College and made it "the most financially inefficient school in the university system" Degree yield is 19%, 2nd-worst in Fla. Operating funds per student at New College: $83,207 Same category at Univ of Florida: $45,765 www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/e...

People should’ve pelted him with the food on their plates.

So enraging that the emails from the school district are "here's how you can get food" and "here's how we're protecting students from ICE." What barbarity, a breach into which underpaid teachers and administrators are stepping in as best they can.

NEW: SSA employees are getting extremely worried about how the agency will continue to provide benefits to some 70 million Americans, according to meeting minutes obtained by @wired.com. @zoeschiffer.bsky.social and @leahfeiger.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/social...

Broadview ICE this morning. A circle of women went into the middle of the street to exercise their free speech rights and were all arrested & zip tied by cops. @resist_and_repeat on instagram many folks here today.

UPDATE: SFO, which typically sees a little more than 1,000 flights in and out of the airport each day, already had 131 flight delays and 47 cancellations as of noon on Friday.
