NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.

West Point is committing "a crime of serious proportion" then.

Influencers made millions pushing ‘wild’ births – now the Free Birth Society is linked to baby deaths around the world

In March of 1945, the US Army issued this "fact sheet" to guide conversations with soldiers on the topic of fascism, paying particular attention to the ongoing threat that domestic fascist movements posed to the US. Their analysis of what a homegrown US fascism would look like is interesting.

The partisan divide has grown, too. The wealthiest 100 tended to give more to Republicans than to Democrats before last year. But giving to the GOP spiked in 2024, with *84%* of donations going to back Republicans or conservative PACs.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

TEN MONTHS IN: The national debt is higher. The trade deficit is wider. The inflation rate has worsened. The unemployment rate is up.

Since arriving in Congress in 2019 as the youngest Black woman ever elected, I’ve had 19 pieces of legislation signed into law — delivering real progress on health care, veterans’ services, homeland security, and more.

Before ACA, I regularly had patients who bought insurance they thought was "best for them". I've seen $50k annual max, $500k lifetime max, plans w/ no Rx coverage, plans *carving out* cancer treatment, plans that denied leukemia treatment because prior iron deficiency anemia was a pre-existing. /1

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Unprecedentedly corrupt.

A foreign country bribed the president with a bar of gold. Where are my Originalists at?

I know this is old man yells at cloud but there is something in the constitution about this

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Under the Big Ugly Bill, Alphabet gets $17.9B in tax breaks. That could pay for SNAP benefits for 7.5 million Americans. Amazon gets $15.7B. That could lower ACA premiums for 2.4 million people. Microsoft gets $12.5B. That could cover Medicaid for 3.8 million children.

“Rather than taking over the Democratic Party the same way the right took over the Republican Party, we should take the easier route and just start up a new party ourselves!” I’m about to fill my pockets with stones and walk into the sea.

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

These operations would be unlawful even if those murdered had all been criminals. But it's important to show just how much deception is involved from start to finish in this gruesome charade.

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?

Two of Trump’s core policies are about raising prices: high tariffs & deporting immigrants. Third policy is all about cutting subsidies to working families: ending SNAP & Medicaid, while destroying ObamaCare. And his last major policy is corruption/greed like his $350+ ballroom.

Once upon a time, American soldiers handed out food to Germans because *they* had followed a fascist madman into national ruin. How times change.

Any discussion of the filibuster has to be understood first in the fact that it exists inside a body - the Senate - which was designed by our founders NOT to represent the will of the American people. The filibuster makes the Senate even less representative. (1/x)

Live in a military town. Our local grocery store offers a 10% military discount on the 1st Saturday of every month when everyone gets paid. Usually it's a madhouse. Hubs is retired and we qualify for the discount but we're in pretty good shape so I only go if I was going to anyway.

Blackface that exists without any actual human behind the makeup is a special kind of dystopian phenomenon

if @neguse.house.gov has to *rewrite your dumb question* about Donny’s shutdown on the fly? you absolutely suck at journalism www.reddit.com/r/Destiny/s/...

This is flat out false. SNAP cannot be used for that. It’s not permitted under federal law and no states have an exemption for it.

NEW: The WH did not disclose several donors to the ballroom who have business before Trump: ▶️Jeff Yass, investor in TikTok parent company: $2.5m+ to ballroom ▶️BlackRock, trying to buy Panama Canal ports: $2.5m+ ▶️Extremity Care, Medicare reimbursement issues: $2.5m ▶️Vantive, Medicare reimbursement

🚨It’s completely insane that it takes a court order to prevent the Trump regime from starving people. Insanity is the “norm” in an administration full of psychotic idiots.

“Under the plan, bounty hunters may receive “monetary bonuses” depending on how successfully they track down their targets — and how many immigrants they then report to ICE.” Or ICE could just fund the Klan directly.

1. Congress has allocated money to do this work; if you fire the people doing the work it is a de facto impoundment. 2. Many people in govt do weird jobs that require specific expertise and are hard to understand. Trump admin just assumes they have no value. But closing wells in National Parks?

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

As Fiserv CEO, Frank Bisignano overinflated sales projections before quickly cashing out with a $500M stock sale. Now, Fiserv's market value has collapsed — and Trump has put Bisignano in charge of Social Security. Be warned. https://www.commondreams.org/news/fiserv-ceo-frank-bisignano

I went through all 1,700-plus pages of subpoenas released by Chuck Grassley this week and mapped out how the organizations and people in them connect. That and more in this week's newsletter! Click click click click. www.howtoreadthisch.art/the-web-that...

Trump has been president for just over 9 months. - massive layoffs in govt and private sector - national parks going unattended - people are going without food - people will soon have no health insurance - our workplaces, food, products less safe - gangs of thugs are abducting people on the streets

The Inflation Reduction Act, which funded focused on energy production, on-shored manufacturing and improved infrastructure, but republicans voted against, and then showed up for photo ops when a project broke ground, created jobs and improved the lives of constituents in their state/district.

Such a perfect example of what we all give up when we refuse to address basic inequalities. I don't want to live in a country where all the public space is militarized to keep hungry people from stealing food, just give them money to buy food!

It is time to admit that Republicans won the 2024 election by running to the center. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/o...

the one part of this awful video I found inspiring is the moment when the cam pans back and you see an array of upstanding Americans with their smartphones out filming these gutter thugs. that's really the symbol of the opposition. the smartphone and its embedded video cam.

"The people in those boats may or may not have been criminals. The people ordering the strikes are." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-targ...

These seem to be the three legs to the Trump regime's political stool, if you consider Trump, Vought, and Miller as the three centers of power: Corruption (Trump) Extreme conservative ideology (Vought) Fascism (Miller)

🚨 EXPLOSIVE NEW investigation: We uncovered previously undisclosed details about an 18-month money laundering investigation into Jeffrey Epstein that took place alongside the 2007 sex crimes probe, according to emails obtained from Epstein's personal Yahoo account 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net. In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:

note how the messaging has shifting from "we're targeting criminals" to "we're deporting everyone"

When it comes to murdering fishermen on the high seas, Donald is lawless and careless, but when it comes to finding excuses not to feed Americans, he's a precise bureaucrat, obsessed with following the law.

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI! This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

Art of the deal 🤷🏼
