If youâre a journalist whoâs still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace âthe American people wantâ with âtroll bots in Eastern Europe demandâ Being there makes your judgment suspect. I donât care how savvy you think you are, youâre marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Reminder: SDNY "was running an active investigation into Jeffrey Epstein[âs] ... coconspirators. In January [2025], SDNY prosecutors were ordered to transfer the Epstein case files to DOJ headquarters in Washington, D.C. ... the investigation into co-conspirators has inexplicably ceased."

ICEâs Detention Center outside Chicago was sued on October 30 for allegedly abusing detainees. One day later, a "system crash" lost all video footage that could have shown how detainees were being treated.

This is far worse than anyone expected. Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the streetâredirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps. All as mass internment camps are being built.

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothingâto re-open the government without actually having protected peopleâs health insurance and economic well-beingâis unconscionable.

Honestly, primarying Schumer and applying EXTREME pressure for him to resign immediately is a bare necessity, whether he kills us with this vote or not. Even floating the idea reflects a total inability and unwillingness to lead, or represent Americans. Regardless of the outcome, he is a traitor.

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.

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:

This thread makes a point I find myself coming to often these days. It's hard to make this point in a way that doesn't sound like a threat, but it's just a fact that for centuries the wealthy in America worried that the mob would come get them and did all they could to avoid that fate.
