U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up. But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

"The work that we do; protecting children online, looking at the spread of eating disorder and self-harm content, is, first of all, important work that needs to be done to protect the public." Our CEO @imranahmed.bsky.social in @pbsnews.org on the U.S. State Department's deportation threats ⤵️

Interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers says she will plead the fifth if forced to testify to Congress. But she willingly sat down with Todd Blanche? What a load of horseshit. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Says the man who never had menstrual cramps.

Did he go to medical school?

Hey US Dept. Attorney General Todd Blanche, it's time to take her puppy away and throw her back into a real prison!

Todd Blanche wasn't engaging in a fact-finding mission; he was engaging in a cover-up.

Todd Blanche is complicit!

@repdangoldman.bsky.social is the best. We need more members of Congress like him. 👏👏👏

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

I am disgusted by Schumer’s bull shit.

Breaking: A Utah judge just tossed out Republicans’ gerrymandered map and ordered a new map that will include a new safe Democratic seat. Utah now joins California in helping to cancel out Trump’s gerrymandering.

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

There were a couple of different edits of Trump at the Commanders vs Lions game today. I chose this one because it shows the crowd reaction and doesn't just show him talking like some of the other one's did.

Democrats considering voting yes should take their cues from the crowd at the Commanders game who gave Trump what he deserved:

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

This is the kind of investigation James Comer was made for…

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.

“Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up,” NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani said, before declaring, “If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him.” https://to.pbs.org/4nJrpUS

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

THE “GOOD” AND BAD NEWS: AFTER MAMDANI WINS TONIGHT NEW YORK WILL BE THE ONLY CITY THAT WILL HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ENCOUNTERS WITH ICE FOR THE NEXT YEAR. STAY STRONG AND STAY SAFE NEW YORK! AND

Bwahahaha!!

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC. It didn't matter. Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter. He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Miss you soooooo much!!!

If MAGA can’t win, they’ll try to cheat. In New Jersey, Democratic strongholds are being targeted with bomb threats at polling places across Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Passaic counties, forcing brief closures. Do not let this stop you from voting.

Brutal 🔥🔥🔥 #southpark

The federal government won’t deliver affordable health care, so California stepped up to make life-saving insulin $11. @vinguptamd.bsky.social with more on @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom’s effort to make health care more affordable.

This land return and tule elk reintroduction is a significant milestone in California's relationship with the Tule River Indian Tribe. We're taking critical steps to confront the historical wrongs committed by the state against the Native people of this land.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50. California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections. Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

I should’ve learned this by now but DO NOT use FedEx. The diseased monkeys I ordered haven’t arrived and I can’t get a straight answer on what happened to them

Just to be clear who’s to blame for SNAP cutoff: 1. Trump admin claims that a $5B emergency fund can’t be used for it. 2. Thune said Trump wants to use SNAP cutoff as leverage. 3. 22 Dem states filed a lawsuit about it. 4. Dems willing to join many Rs for SNAP bill but Thune is blocking vote.

Republicans have no money for SNAP to feed Americans, but when this guy needs $40 billion to bail him out before his election, that becomes Trump’s #2 priority after his ballroom.

Let me get this right. There is money in the Government to send out SNAP, but Trump won't do it. Families with Children, Everly and Veterans will most likely go hungry. VOTE ACCORDINGLY!

The president had a MRI but won't say why. He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why. He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical. He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it. How is any of this ok?

To everyone claiming there were no arrests at the "No Kings" rallies yesterday, this is simply not true. No, a Trump supporter was arrested for trying to use a gun against people exercising their First Amendment rights. He was arrested and his tacky Jeep with Trump flags was towed.

The San Diego Police Department is reporting no arrests related to the No Kings protests! Amazing work, everyone. It’s great to see police departments across the country sharing similar updates, peaceful protests everywhere.

NYPD announces that zero arrests were made at the massive No Kings protests today after Republicans spent days claiming the protestors are violent terrorists.
