It's the first Friday of the month, which means we've gone 2 months now without a jobs report. For Trump, this is a feature of the shutdown, not a bug, since private surveys show the job market slowing dramatically. But without official data he's able to keep lying about it.

The loud part out loud

Keep this in mind when your MAGA politicians want your vote.

Let the prosecutions begin . . .

The Dems tried to bargain today. Republicans said no. apnews.com/article/flig...

My sympathies to everyone who was champing at the bit to yell at Democrats, better luck next time

SCOOP: Alexander Smirnov, the FBI informant convicted of lying about a fake bribery scheme involving the Bidens has been quietly released from prison just months into a six-year sentence—raising concern he could be pardoned by Trump any moment. jacquelinesweet.substack.com/p/fbi-inform...

Hegseth: "We are not building for peacetime. We are pivoting the Pentagon and our industrial base to a wartime footing. Building for victory should our adversaries FAFO."

Whoever made this, you nailed it.

NEWS — The Oregon Department of Human Services has issued 100% of November SNAP benefits, per an alert on their website. I've received reports that the funds have already hit recipients' EBT accounts. www.oregon.gov/odhs/news/Pa...

As news was breaking of that three more people were murdered in a Caribbean boat strike… Hegseth was on stage at the Fox Patriot Awards cracking jokes about how Trump announces bombings on Truth Social. They’re murdering people on a regular basis and joking about it 77 people dead & counting

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

What a queen

Richest nation in human history

The most corrupt administration in American history.

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel. Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire. Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year. Glad everything worked out for them. How about you?

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

A distraught man came to Broadview searching for his wife of five years after she was taken by ICE at her court hearing. He wasn’t told anything, tracked her by her phone, and was left weeping in the parking lot.

"They want everyone to know these thugs they’ve deployed to terrorize cities are battle-hardened and impervious to pain. But in court, they're such delicate flowers that if they are, say, lightly grazed by a sandwich, they are entitled to justice because of the horrific assault they have suffered."

Meet Greg Bovino, Trump's "commander at large" for ICE You need to know about the man leading Trump's secret police

Makes more sense now

OBAMA: “We had a good night on Tuesday… the American people are paying attention — when young people are engaged and involved, we win.” @barackobama.bsky.social was a surprise drop-in at the @podsaveamerica.crooked.com live taping to open #CrookedCon in D.C.

Mike Johnson is obstructing the US Constitution. President Lyndon Johnson was sworn in by Sarah Hughes, a US District Court Judge for Northern District of Texas. President Calvin Coolidge was sworn in by his own father – a notary public and justice of the peace. Swear in Adelita Grijalva. Now.

Crockett: Marjorie Taylor Greene voted for this point blank period. Her constituents were the ones that were on the receiving end of this.

Um, do federal prosecutors *really* want to take the position that it's not okay to receive something of value from … Qatar? I can think of 747 reasons why they shouldn't. 🤔

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

While our airports are in chaos, the Transportation Secretary is flying to a campaign fundraiser for his son-in-law.

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

Several states (including California, Michigan, Oregon, and Wisconsin) have announced that they’ve begun processing full food stamp payments. Thank you to those states for stepping up to support families in need!

The Constitution protects the right to free speech and the right to peacefully assemble. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/06/o...

Good grief. This administration is so soft on crime.

He spent Biden’s entire presidency calling him ‘Sleepy Joe’. Still does. But this guy nods off in the middle of the day in meetings almost every day. Fell asleep in court all the time too.

Are they finally catching on to his eternal grifting and gaslighting?

If you just cancel flights, then they're actually not late! Brilliant stuff from Sean Duffy here

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

My weekly email to my congressman…

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 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.

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states. Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

Brand new data: Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!). These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates. Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

Good morning. Last night was a referendum on Trump's corruption, cruelty, and chaos. But it's also not a coincidence these big wins came at the exact moment when Democrats are using our power to stand for something and be strong. A huge risk to not learn that lesson.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

This is the hype video the White House posted when they arrested Sandwich Guy, who was found not guilty today.

There’s not enough attention being paid to the fact that ICE deported a man in a persistent vegetative state Or the fact that he was perfectly healthy when he was detained, and his family have no idea what was done to him to cause such a severe decline He died shortly after being deported to Cuba

A plane full of Russian spies and collaborators is heading to DC to meet with the Trump regime.

We're at the "Papers, please" stage. This in Chicago with a US citizen. Remember, U.S. citizens are not required to carry or present proof of citizenship or identity to immigration agents when they are within the US. You have the right to remain silent.

Incredible

Trump threatens war after getting shellacked in elections; layoffs spike; sandwich guy is acquitted; SCOTUS pushes back on Trump's tariffs; Mike Johnson doubles down on his disastrous messaging; and more. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast at 8p ET/5p PT!
