Meanwhile the President just yesterday said an assassinated journalist deserved it and celebrated his killer

Republican leaders don’t care if Americans go hungry w/o SNAP, if citizens are detained by ICE, if migrants are killed in illegal strikes on “drug boats”, or if millions die from USAID cuts. But when it comes to their rich friends in the Epstein files, they suddenly must protect the “innocent.”

Medicaid cuts are being blamed for the closure of a community health center in New Hampshire's White Mountains.

"Trying to extract and analyze a concrete, coherent policy proposal out of these statements is pretty much impossible—or, as Harvard health policy professor Adrianna McIntyre put it to me, like 'trying to read tea leaves, only the cup is full of mud.'" www.thebulwark.com/p/not-so-imp...

It’s not often that a press conference moves Senators and Congresspeople to tears. Today was different. Between their $186 billion in SNAP cuts and the rising costs of groceries, Republican policies are creating a food insecurity crisis in this country. We must do everything we can to address it.

This is a key question because Mills has appealed to the former quite well in previous elections and Platner is banking on the latter group. #mepolitics

This Thanksgiving please remember to give thanks to the Lord that Trump and his people are so unbelievably incompetent 🙏🏼🦃

Attendees at last night’s White House dinner honoring MBS were all doing business with him and Saudi Arabia. Under Trump, the only normative rule is to gain as much power and money as possible. Power and wealth are honored, even if the honoree has greenlit a brutal murder.

Calling all middle TN (including Vanderbilt Univ) folks! Time to get you and all your friends and neighbors to help flip this seat for a candidate that will #standupforscience

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court. Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

Trump’s authoritarian dreams rely on the complicity (or complacency) of other powerful people and systems. That’s why we’re organizing to transform the societal pillars upholding Trump’s power into unyielding opponents of his regime: indivisible.org/campaign/cou...

Far from any border, Charlotte, North Carolina, has emerged as an unexpected target in the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, shaking a region that has quietly become one of the largest hubs in the country for international migration.

Since helping Trump return to power, the Supreme Court’s GOP majority has permitted a long list of his lawless actions, using its shadow docket to back him roughly 90 percent of the time.

It is quite possible that Ukraine will have to give up some territory in a peace agreement. That’s just a reality, even if I find it offensive and awful. But giving up land *and* de facto disarming? Why on earth would they agree to that? They were invaded in an act of imperial conquest!

A must read investigation from my colleagues Kavitha Surana and Lizzie Presser. Tierra’s medical care received under Texas’ abortion ban shows how dangerous pregnancy can be. Complications from the pregnancy resulted in her tragic death and no doctor offered termination

The Cook Political Report first listed the 7th congressional district as “solidly Republican,” but has now shifted that rating to “leans Republican.” (via @wpln.bsky.social)

Donald Trump Jr., Elon Musk and dozens of prominent tech, media and sports figures gathered in honor of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who previously had been labeled a “pariah” over his role in the killing of a Washington Post columnist.

Unsatisfied with norm-busting mid-decade partisan gerrymanders, House Republicans are now laying down the intellectual groundwork for an unlawful mid-decade census. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Meiselas this past Monday: Halligan says the grand jury rejected the 3-count indictment, so she brought back a 2-count version they supposedly approved, but that part is missing from the transcript. Judge Currie warned the grand jury may never have seen it. If true, that’s criminal.

one thing i think is true is that republicans assumed that democrats would not respond in kind and that the forceful pushback spooked them (a lesson to learn here, perhaps)

A quick update on the big coverup in the Letitia James case: In a new filing Monday, James lawyers asked the judge in the case to order the gov't to produce the documents reportedly turned over to prosecutors by former FHFA acting Inspector General Joe Allen. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

BARTIROMO: How do illegals get a mortgage? SCOTT TURNER: Well, Maria, you know, during the Biden administration, there were over 12m illegal aliens that came over the border, straining our housing supply (That's not an answer)

Good morning everyone! Democracy Docket v. Washington Post.

🚨Using any kind of chemical weapons at this range is aggravated assault against peaceful protesters. They have no weapons, they pose no threat. ICE is the enemy. 1/2

Anytime you’re feeling embarrassed, remember that Clay Higgins woke up this morning to the realization he was the only one in the whole ass Congress who voted to defend pedophiles. He gets to carry that vote with him like a scarlet letter for the rest of his unremarkable existence.

Khanna: "The speaker looked frazzled last night. I think he's totally lost it. He's attacking the bill and he's not showing up to hear the survivors. The survivors wanted this bill. Then he's voting for a bill he criticized. And he's lost the confidence of half the people in his own caucus."

NEW: How will Trump's climate rollbacks play out in the future? Our analysis using modeled emissions and a peer reviewed metric shows the people most likely to die from the resulting additional GHGs will be in poor countries least prepared to cope with the heat www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Trump picks new CFPB director amid efforts to close agency

In a year in which the VP argued that "America is not just an idea," it's worth returning to the Gettysburg Address, delivered on this day 162 years ago. "We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom."

Texas' abortion ban has killed another woman. Let's be very clear: Republicans are killing women. Democrats need to start calling them murderers loudly and often. www.propublica.org/article/texa...
