“This is not immigration enforcement. This is racial terror. This is state-sanctioned violence. This is the face of fascism. Not in some far off land but in our backyard.” www.oregonlive.com/washingtonco...

The most corrupt administration in American history.

Please tell me that they included mental health advice under the umbrella of “medical advice” 🙏 www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/art...

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world: 'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..." chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...

Trump fights to block food aid as layoffs surge, “Sandwich Guy” walks free, and GOP leaders scramble after election losses. From fake Walmart stats to courtroom defeats, the chaos keeps coming. Read our latest bulletin for all the news now:

UPDATE: U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis said she will issue a sweeping injunction limiting the use of force by federal immigration agents in the Chicago area after she found a litany of violations were committed in recent weeks.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath? Character isn't something you tell people about. It's something you live.

Let me just say. The fact that there was an engine missing and they kept the plane level till the end is a testament to their skill. They fought till the very end. Tragic

🚨BREAKING: More than 200,000 Missourians have signed a petition supporting a referendum to block Republicans’ new gerrymandered congressional map. But GOP officials are working to thwart them at every turn. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

🚨BREAKING: Arizona Court of Appeals AFFIRMS dismissal of a lawsuit by Mohave County Supervisor Ron Gould seeking to force full hand counts. Court holds that Gould lacked standing. Another big victory for my law firm, its clients and the voters of Arizona. www.democracydocket.com/cases/arizon...

When you desperately want to starve Americans:

A Republican Tale as Old as Time

Armed US immigration agents drive off with toddler after arrest of father www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Spotify’s Discovery Mode allows artists to flag songs to be boosted in Spotify’s algorithmic recommendations in exchange for a 30% royalty commission—but a lawsuit accuses the streaming company of boosting artists who pay them.

Politicians can get away with lying to people for quite a while about a lot of different subjects, but they have never been able to get away with lying to them about how much things cost.

🚨BREAKING: After my team defeated them in court on Monday, Republicans have filed a motion to drop their latest lawsuit to block Virginia redistricting. Overall, the GOP and their proxies are now 0-2 in Virginia and 0-5 in California. www.democracydocket.com/cases/virgin...

The sandwich guy has been acquitted. When the jury did not return a quick verdict, it looked like he might be toast. Turns out they needed to chew on it some more. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

This—agents driving around in circles and provoking the community—has gone on for hours at this point with no discernible goal other than to inflict terror. They also just fired pepper balls at someone.

Please stop falling for the MTG is a new person con. Please.

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...

From a friend & client who is the mayor of her upstate New York town. Over the past nine years, her team of community organizers flipped EVERY RED SEAT in the city and county to BLUE, culminating in last night's final tally. The good news just keeps on coming.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

Holy crap. MAGA diehard Danielle Jurinsky lost her city council seat in Aurora, Colorado. She more than anyone is responsible for ginning up the false claim that Tren de Aragua had "taken over" the city. She also repeatedly tried to dissolve the city's groundbreaking public defender office.

BREAKING: Men who can’t even keep the government open write letter to a third man, whose high court regularly publishes anonymous orders, to complain about anonymous criticism from lower court judges.

I love how they celebrated over lunch together today

👀 WOW — “Speaker Johnson is stalling Grijalva until Van Epps gets there to cancel out her vote?” TN-7 nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social tells us Johnson plans for Van Epps to help him cover up the Epstein files. (His weak answer to NC5 is another clue🕵️ )

Like you I am celebrating Tuesday's victories. However, my job is not to sugarcoat things and tell you it's all fixed. It is to warning about what to expect next and fight back. That is why I wrote this and why I hope you read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

news.sky.com/story/the-x-... This is how they manipulate the electorate.

It’s becoming a trend: states with restrictive anti-choice laws are losing OB-GYNS. States with full-on bans, like Texas, force doctors to make impossible decisions that could cost patients’ lives, and they want to be able to provide the right care. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

A damn daycare. This is sick. What are we doing?

who could have predicted www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

BIG NEWS buried amid the blue wave: @govwesmoore.bsky.social announces that Maryland is IN when it comes to redrawing maps for 2026. "Come next November in Maryland, we will have fair maps."

OpenAI is asking the U.S. government for loan guarantees to fund its staggering $1 .4 trillion+ AI infrastructure build-out. Basically if OpenAI can’t come up with the money after taking out loans then taxpayers will bail them out. They finally played the “Too Big To Fail” card.

CHICAGO (AP) - Judge orders improvements at Chicago-area immigration facilities after claims of inhumane conditions.

really inspiring victory speech by Zohran

"Witnesses and school employees said they thought the school was under attack and scrambled into rooms and vehicles outside in search of safety." One mother who walked in right after described "a room of crying kids, crying parents and crying teachers" www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC. Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA. Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ. Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

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

In 2023, I proposed the Illinois Grocery Initiative to lower food prices and provide options in food deserts across the state. www.ksdk.com/article/news...

So the DOJ decided to charge first, think later? 👀. A federal judge just ripped into prosecutors over their “indict first, investigate second” approach to the Comey case calling it “highly unusual.” That’s not justice, that’s politics. #Comey #DOJ #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/A6eFhnLwJRYe...

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.
