Let me guess: They then asked him if they were related

This seems like a pot-kettle situation

get in bitch we're destroying the west

BREAKING: Following trial, Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, finds that Trump did not properly invoke federal law to call up the National Guard and "permanently enjoins Defendants’ orders to deploy federalized members of the National Guard to Oregon."

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.

At some point, as trump keeps opening specious investigations into people who are upholding the rule of law, the question of impeachment has to come up. I get that we’ve been there/done that, but let’s not give congressional Repubs a pass for their complicity.

This thread is horrifying, and is only happening with the complicity of Congress and the Supreme Court

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command. If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics. It’s trials w real punishments.

Republican legislators continue to surrender power and authority. Weak and useless. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

While US venture capitalists were buying monkey jpegs, and DOGE coins, and figuring out how to get Black women fired, and tweeting about white birthrates, and trying to mandate which bathroom trans kids should use, China was making progress on climate change and taking the lead in a real industry.

Jeanine Pirro bragging in August that she just arrested Sandwich Guy and was going to teach him a lesson in court.

Guys…I appreciate your letting me know that the title is a Great Gatsby reference (thank you, I have read that too!) I was just driving home the point that they are in fact awful.

There is such a thing as a free lunch at the "sandwich guy" trial: www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis said Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino admitted to lying about whether a rock hit him before he used tear gas on Chicagoans in Little Village last month. https://to.wttw.com/4nJOtmp

I finished Sarah Wynne-Williams' Careless People (a MUST-read) about Facebook -- which could have and should have been entitled, Awful People. Here is exhibit #542538, about the Zuckerbergs operating an illegal school (daycare?) on their "compound" www.wired.com/story/mark-z...

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

It really is pretty shocking that Mamdani won even after referring to his dad’s cousin as his aunt when she was really his first cousin once removed

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

the scotus tariff case is going to be interesting because we'll finally learn if the supreme court is more beholden to its authoritarian backers or its corporate benefactors

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Pete Hegseth is now requiring all tactical vests be BDS (ballistic Deli Sandwich) resistant.

If the mustard didn't splat, what harm was that?

My local library is running a free pantry -- what are the best non-perishables to donate

National Guard troops patrolling DC made themselves useful this morning: Pushed a dead BMW out of traffic on Pennsylvania Avenue. Not obvious to me however that this needed to be a military function.

The Illinois legislature had passed the “Illinois Bivens Act,” allowing people to sue ICE agents in state court. Just waiting for Pritzker’s signature. dailynorthwestern.com/2025/11/03/c...

A coalition that ranges from democratic socialists to neoconservatives, including a lot of energized liberals in between, is large and formidable. A big pro-democracy tent. A united front. Any internal disagreements can be hashed out once the authoritarian emergency is over. This really can work.

🧵 The 3 biggest takeaways from Democrats' big wins last night Democratic candidates swept the board on Tuesday, winning every major race across the country. They did so for 3 reasons: 1) They campaigned without apology and without ceasing. Continue here or click through below:

Gosh, I hope Andrew Cuomo, George Santos, and Bill Ackman don’t follow through on their threats to leave New York forever and move to Florida. What ever would NYC do!?!

What I learned tonight is the future of the Democratic Party is a trans Muslim CIA agent wine mom who wants to eliminate capitalism and barter with people on the free bus.

First Asian American mayor of Cincinnati! Lots of firsts tonight. First Muslim woman as Lt. Gov. of VA First woman Governor of VA People are voting for the America they want. Powerfully. And it MEANS something. They’re voting against what they DON’T want. Take heart!

I’m glad the defense is challenging this important point. That damn sandwich did NOT “explode”! (I am imagining the cross being conducted in Pesci’s voice a la My Cousin Vinny 😂)

I hope someone is writing "12 Hangry Men" about the sandwich guy jury

Donald Trump is the most powerful person in the world. Only a monster would use that power to force 42 million Americans to go hungry.

From Bovino's deposition: (1) he calls protestors "violent" if they articulate views hostile to ICE, even if no violence is manifested; (2) he instructs his forces to attack and arrest protestors who express "hyperbolic comments," which is to say, criticism of ICE and Bovino.

Raises the question: Were the grand jurors informed of the date when Richman resigned from the FBI?

Bomb threats disrupting voting in New Jersey today, which has a competitive governor election. As with LibsofTikTok and bomb threats to hospitals, the Online Right has seen they can do this to force closures. Preview of 2026 midterms? Either way, states should be working on plans to deal with it.

True, that’s why I wrote in Nick Fuentes

Good night

CNN Speaker Johnson I don’t know montage

None of them know anything about the pardon for the guy who made Trump a fortune in crypto. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Laura Loomer, a far-right conspiracist, is now credentialed to cover the Pentagon. Legitimate news organizations out. Crazy social media conspiracy theorists in. That’s the result of Trump’s decades-long attack on “fake news” - now it really is fake. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I thought that was the essence of the “autopen scandal”?

@asharangappa.bsky.social I remember when you were the first to realize this and point it out.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Can we all agree that when a president pardons a guy who was convicted for financing terrorists, and then says he didn't know the guy but "I was told" to pardon him, the follow question MUST be "Who told you to pardon him?" But CBS never asked: who is making decisions in the White House? 1/
