MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Everyday Trump makes it clear that his priority is one person: himself. www.santafenewmexican.com/news/nationa...

That is patently false: not only do immigrants score better than native-born Americans in tests, the mere presence of immigrants improve test scores for all students, when factoring in white flight sesp.northwestern.edu/news-events/...

NEW: Chemical industry lobbyists have long pushed the government to adopt a less stringent approach to gauging the cancer risk from chemicals, one that would help ease regulations on companies that make or use them. They finally got their wish.

I asked ESPN Research and they asked Elias Sports Bureau and they looked back as far as they could (to 1978) and it would appear Jalen Hurts is the first player to ever commit two turnovers in one play. Isn't history beautiful?

"As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free," goes harder than any Civil War song has any right to go.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

These are the kind of “I can’t believe he did/said that” moments that normal people form their political views around (like Bush and the pretzel), and a competent opposition party would hammer it to death on every Sunday morning show from now through February

Personalist propaganda, xenophobia, climate denial - the new National Security Strategy has it all www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Holy shit. Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

"I think this president thinks we have the world's largest economy ever because of real estate investors. It's not—it's because of science." Sen. Mark Kelly criticizes Trump's cuts to critical scientific research.

Donald Trump wants to be recognized as a peacemaker. His deputies obliged today by putting his name on the headquarters of the U.S. Institute of Peace, an agency that DOGE tried to kill. The new name — the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace — "adds insult to injury," said a lawyer for USIP staff.

Trump pardoned Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas (an repeated progressive target in Dem primaries, he narrowly survived multiple times) from bribery and conspiracy charges. Cuellar just thanked him profusely on social; obvious questions as to whether Cuellar switches parties.

Trump is pretty transparently running the Eric Adams playbook here. We don’t need to act shocked that Trump did this for a (nominal) Democrat. The point is that he is a crook who depends on Trump for his freedom, and will now do his bidding. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Musk's nonprofit grows to $14bn. But, for the 4th year in a row, it gave away less than the legal minimum required for the year. 85% of its giving went to other Musk nonprofits—including a private school next to his business compound in Bastrop. The principal beneficiary of Musk's charity is Musk.

Today, DOE renamed the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), one of the crown jewels of U.S. science and engineering for renewable energy, the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR). We should be reinvesting in our world-leading national labs not renaming them. www.nrel.gov/news/detail/...

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.

6/ 🚨 Per CURRENT and former US officials, there are strong reasons to believe some people on board the Sept 2 boat were people being trafficked. (That is consistent with prior NYT reporting)

This is murder. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Awful. Trump admin is deporting a 23-year-old NC woman who came here at the age of 14 as an unaccompanied minor. Her father was murdered and mother died of cancer. All she has are two traffic citations, per this report from Charlotte Observer's Dan Kane: www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

We came to LA as refugees from the USSR in 1991. Life wasn’t easy, but we persevered and, I dare say, came to contribute something of worth to this nation. Had I experienced the following when I was a boy, I don’t know what would have become of me. www.latimes.com/california/s...

“I want their morale as low as possible because a team with low morale is ineffective.” Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter

Basically saying "if you do crime for me, I won't only pardon you--I'll give you millions of dollars of public money." Truly unprecedented level of corruption www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

NYT - Dozens of Venezuelans sent by the US to a maximum security prison in El Salvador describe being beaten, sexually assaulted by guards and driven to the brink of suicide. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/wo...

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

[talking to the aid workers I fired from their jobs providing food and medical assistance to those in need in the U.S. and around the world] You fools, you absolute simpletons There’s “actually only one way” to widely address poverty or give people healthcare: a robot I haven’t made yet

This is mass murder on a scale we haven't seen in generations. Trump did this. Musk did this. The SCOTUS that allowed these cuts to congressionally mandated programs and an acquiescent GOP did this. It's sickening. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Prediction: The Senate is now in play.

What we know, 10:20pm —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, *and* AG —BIG Dem gains in VA House —Dems win NJ-Gov —Mamdani wins —Dems keep PA supreme court —Larry Krasner & Bragg win — GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices —JD Vance’s half-brother loses Cincy —Dems sweep Orlando council —ME anti-mail vote measure loses

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

worth noting that Mamdani did *not* take the bait

When they say they’d never support Fuentes, ask them about what they used to say about Trump. This is from a now deleted piece on The Blaze from Matt Walsh

This is quite a story: the US employed every strongarm tactic available, including personal threats against delegates and their families, to derail an agreement on reducing shipping emissions that was almost finalized. on.ft.com/47lq3dZ

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

Speaker Johnson has decided to keep the House in recess all through next week. This will be the seventh consecutive week of recess for the chamber. It has not been in session since Sept. 19.

Toumani Camara is unbelievable

I think the administration might be overreaching a bit on the “teachers bad” front

Coal companies will use these grants to squeeze a couple more years of profit out of their facilities, no permanent jobs will be created, and local families will pay more for their electricity bills. They deserve better.

If you truly care about coal communities & workers, you don’t lie to them. This money should be used to invest in new economic opportunities, like advanced manufacturing… oh, wait, they cancelled the “Green Scam” projects that were *checks notes* bringing factories to coal towns.

A scoop that I’m not happy to report: CBS News has gutted its climate change reporting team, one of the best in the business, and one of the only ones on cable news that consistently called out fossil fuels as the main source of climate pollution. heated.world/p/cbs-news-k...

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

In the first half of this year, the income of President Trump's family business soared 17-fold to $864 million, based almost entirely on new crypto ventures that have been a magnet for overseas cash, a Reuters investigation found. www.reuters.com/investigatio...
