This is odd, it looks like the DOJ skipped suing Texas entirely. The Justice Department is now suing California over the new congressional district boundaries that voters approved just last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday in a post on X. Who are they going to sue, the voters?

We inherited” is the new “but her emails.” They take responsibility for nothing. Who deported workers in the food production industry? Who imposed massive tariffs on finished goods, agricultural products. and raw materials? Who promised to lower prices “on day one”?

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

If this number were true, it would amount to about ~0.4% of 42 million recipients.

I’ve never flipped out over kids missing a few days, especially if you get advance warning and a request for work that comes back completed. Learning is never uniform and predictable, and learning (not filling boxes in gradebooks) is ultimate goal. Right? teacherinastrangeland.blog/2025/11/13/a...

There are four leaks to plug for Trump: the survivors, Ghislaine Maxwell, the Epstein Estate, and the 1000+ FBI and DoJ employees he locked in a building and forced to remove his name from the files. Good luck, asshole.

At any other point in American history, he would be pulled from office and brought up on criminal charges.

McGovern: Buried in this bill is a corrupt kickback for eight Republican senators, a million dollar payday funded by taxpayers, taken from the treasury and deposited directly into their pockets. What the hell is wrong with this place?

This is America today. It doesn’t have to be this way.

What fascist dictators do when in power: Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini built monuments to glorify themselves so they’d be exalted in history. Democracies don’t do this.

Ordinarily, person who responds to serious accusations by telling colossal, ridiculous lies, changing the subject, demanding end to inquiries, trying to obstruct investigation is telling you those accusations are true. But Trump does that sort of thing all the time www.thebulwark.com/p/hes-acting...

"There is a lot more." Rep. Garcia shares the DOJ is hoarding files from federal Epstein investigations. "Photographs, possibly videos, they have information we need to actually bring justice to the survivors and to implicate the wealthy and powerful men that abused and raped children and women."

There is nothing “clean” about the Continuing Resolution that was passed tonight. 
Sure, it reopens the government—but it does nothing to address the healthcare crisis that Republicans created. (1/2)

'By turns gossipy, scathing & scheming, messages show influential people pressing Mr. Epstein for insight into Mr. Trump, and Mr. Epstein casting himself as the ultimate Trump translator, someone who knew him intimately and was “the one able to take him down.”' www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

Blanche didn’t ask Maxwell a single question about any of these emails. Then he moved her to Club Fed where she is served individual meals and has a puppy and numerous other special privileges while she prepares her clemency petition. WHY?

Acting just like a corrupt king, Trump is transforming the American system of justice into his personal plaything. Friends of the crown break the law with impunity. Enemies of the crown experience the sharp end of the law, whether they deserve it or not. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/o...

As Karoline Leavitt concludes her press briefing and walks off, @andrewfeinberg.com asks: "What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?" She did not respond.

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.

Majority whip ⬇️

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?" Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

Raskin: If this were to pass, this astounding provision would give eight Republican senators a personal payday of at least a million dollars each, paid for by the U.S. Taxpayers at a time when we are throwing millions of people off of their health care…

"Look, every word the president just said is a lie." -- Me, telling the truth.

"Donald Trump owes his entire political career to defamation. Nevertheless, he routinely demands 10-figure settlements from media outlets who criticize him. And now his shakedown tour has gone international."

The Trump admin has unveiled plans to open California’s coastline to offshore oil drilling for the first time in decades, a move that has sparked swift and fierce backlash from state leaders. The proposal, which outlines up to six federal lease sales between 2027 and 2030, would mark the first

So many things get me about the roll over, show belly capitulation from the Senate. And one of them is that the promise of a future vote in the Senate isn't even the promise (ha!) of future *passage* of an ACA bill because House would have to deliver same promise.

The same crowd yelling “lock her up” spent decades shielding predators and playing dumb. 🚨 NEW: House Democrats just released emails where Epstein wrote Trump “spent hours at my house” with one of his victims—plus messages showing Trump knew a lot more than he’s ever admitted.

Jeffries: We are not going to be lectured by anyone on the other side of the aisle about fiscal responsibility when the bill that you just passed is the most fiscally irresponsible piece of legislation ever…

Clark: So what are we doing here today? You have already voted to dismantle medicaid, the largest health care program in America. A program that covers 40% of all births in this country. 40% of children in this country. 40% of disabled people in this country.

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

McGovern: He says food prices are way down. That's coming from a guy dines on caviar at mar-a-lago. He's never shopped for groceries a day in his life. He doesn't have to pick between plastic or paper.

Gagworthy, the whole clip.
