PHILADELPHIA (AP) - US appeals court rules former Trump lawyer Alina Habba disqualified as New Jersey prosecutor. @apnews.com

A classic. @apnews.com apnews.com/article/dona...

Alina Habba’s parents emigrated to the US from Iraq citing persecution.

Well, well, well.

Thankfully @inaeoh.bsky.social read Cheryl Hines' new memoir (so you don't have to) and this exploration of RFK Jr's supposed sex appeal is worth your time: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The good news: the president has pardoned the turkey. The bad news: two hours later the turkey was arrested for running a ponzi scheme and committing acts of gross sexual imposition.

Is Kash Patel actually more nuts than most of the other people connected to Donald Trump?

Russian asset Ron Johnson says there’s no money to give Americans $2K inflation checks. But there is money for a despot’s $250M ballroom and enough to give $40B to Argentina’s dictator. I’ll always remember Ron paying Putin a visit in Moscow on July 4th weekend in 2018.

Another day, another TEN missed opportunities for the DNC to speak on behalf of Dems about the abomination of the day. Mark Kelly shouldn’t have to defend himself alone. The DNC, the national Dem PARTY should be speaking up for him and the other members of Congress all over the place. WHYYYYY

I will say it again: 👇 People who travel to a MAGA red state for vacation or a professional conference are directly supporting fascism with their tax dollars.

Why do people still travel to these MAGA red states and continue to give them 💰💰💰?

“.. In late June, .. the website removed any mention of ‘Made in the USA,’ as was originally promised. “.. Instead, the website now says the phone is ‘brought to life right here in the USA’ ..” 🤡 @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

So ten years after first promising a health plan, Trump’s current progress: *”Obamacare sucks” *”I’m totally going to announce Monday” *Apparent plan: Obamacare but covering fewer people *GOP: “Not harsh enough, sir” *Trump plan disappears… again www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/11/beyo...

You went into a coma in 2017. You just woke up today. You saw this headline. You say, “That was a good night’s sleep.”

The America First people in charge of the US government don’t seem very America First to me.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Reuters has confirmed that President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and his special envoy Steve Witkoff held a private meeting in Miami with a sanctioned Kremlin proxy to help shape the new "peace plan" for Ukraine. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

This is such bad messaging, holy crap they’re in a bad spot. Oh well

It’s for your own good! 🤡

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

The Fed is gutting its ability to monitor warning signs of bank failures and slashing rules put in place after 2008 to prevent another financial crisis. Now, big banks are ramping up the same risky behaviors that led to the last economic crash–setting the stage for another one.

BREAKING: Prosecutors in the Comey case just told the judge that they’re under orders from the Deputy Attorney Generals’s office not to disclose whether career prosecutors wrote a memo recommending *against* indicting Comey prior to Halligan going to the grand jury.

"As he addressed Halligan, the judge declared he 'just wanted to make sure' that indictment had never been seen by the full grand jury. "Halligan confirmed that it had not. She then sat down after speaking for less than a minute."

It was over before it began.

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.

2/ The Dutch newspaper reports that two memorial panels installed at the NAC were removed some time earlier this year. They commemorated African-American soldiers who helped liberate Europe from German occupation during World War II.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Opening the government with no concessions from GOP merely to alleviate airline cancellations - when Congress has been dragging its feet for years on chronic FAA staffing issues - is a lame ass choice. Also, doing it while the House refuses to work is appalling.

A remarkably candid and accurate summary of the last three years of MAGA land.

Did the New York Times ruin journalism?

BREAKING: An appeals court refused to block a Florida law that bans many immigrants from China and six other countries from buying homes in the state. We'll keep fighting laws that blatantly target people based on their national origin. All of us should be free to build lives where we choose.

They’re not redistricting — they’re preparing the battlefield. If Trump gets 5 extra seats in Congress, he’ll have the votes to declare emergency rule in any city that dares to dissent. #CAVoteYesProp50 #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao? TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him. TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Bad news for billionaires. Great news for the rest of is. @jeisinger.bsky.social is going to be envisioning and executing far more journalism. Including into the super-sized businesses that have wormed their way into our lives. www.propublica.org/atpropublica...

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system. Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

Bloomberg: Duffy said he is prepared to close US airspace if the budget crisis makes flying unsafe. FAA is already short on air traffic controllers, and many of them are working without pay. More than 6,200 flights were delayed on Friday and nearly 500 were canceled.

Newsom: They did not expect California. They did not expect all of you. They thought we were going to write an op-ed, have a candlelight vigil, maybe do a rally. They poked the bear and the bear is poking back

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand. There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise. Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.
