Also tonight: Judge Jia Cobb rules that ICE’s policy since June requiring Democratic lawmakers to give a week’s notice in order to enter and inspect ICE facilities likely violates a 5 year old provision in the annual DHS appropriation prohibiting that very thing. Blocks entry requirements.

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.” As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

Energy bills have increased 13% since Trump took office. Families have paid an extra $1,200 on goods this year because of his tariffs. Popular holiday gifts are 26% more expensive this year compared to 2024. Remember this as Trump calls affordability a "hoax" and a "con job."

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. Trump's economy.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends. It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Sipekne’katik First Nation has issued a press release saying Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston, Attorney and Justice Minister General Scott Armstrong, and L’nu Affairs Minister Leah Martin are “banned as undesirables” from Sipekne’katik lands. The fine for trespassing is $50,000.

BREAKING: Die Szenen vor dem Mahnmal für Walter Lübcke sind sehr berührend. Die Menschen kommen in Scharen und gedenken still: sie legen Blumen, Kerzen, Botschaften nieder. Die Erinnerung an Lübcke steht für die Erinnerung an ein besseres Ich: für Güte, Mitmenschlichkeit und gegen Rechtsextremismus.

The Defense Department will host right-wing media at the Pentagon next week for its first in-person press event since October, when the mainstream press corps walked out rather than sign the department’s new press policy.

Der Bundespräsident hat kürzlich die Zivilgesellschaft aufgerufen, sich den Rechtsextremen entgegenzustellen. Heute haben Tausende Menschen genau das gemacht, und diese Menschen sind nun also für den Bundeskanzler alle "ganz links". Puh.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Koko Kondo, one of the few surviving victims of the Hiroshima nuclear blast, has spent her life providing a firsthand account of the destruction that obliterated her community. Suddenly, in the era of Trump, those values and that peace are under threat.

Ahead of Thanksgiving and amid frustration among American consumers over affordability, President Trump has recently insisted, often wrongly, that prices and costs were coming down. Here is a fact-check of some of his recent claims.

We’ve endured 10 months of Trump’s mayhem so far. A question I’ve been asking various people is how long they believe it will take for America to recover from Trump — if the nation ever will recover? What do you think? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-how-long-will-it-take
