In Minnesota

NEW: The US has deported a longtime Oregon firefighter who was arrested by Border Patrol while deployed at a major wildfire in Washington state. José Bertin Cruz-Estrada, separated from his family, is speaking out from Mexico for the first time: “I feel betrayed ... What am I going to do now?"

#BREAKING: Over a public dissent from Justice Jackson, #SCOTUS *extends* the temporary pause of the district court’s order that had mandated full SNAP payments for November—keeping that ruling (and those payments) on hold through the end of the day this Thursday:

Most days I worry about what he's doing to our democracy, but some days remind you what a real president is supposed to be...and it's just so beyond him. He has no honor or concept of service. Asking him to honor those who served is like asking a toddler to do a pole vault

Literally the dumbest conceivable person in power right now. Fucking embarrassing.

Everyone is dunking on Kim Kardashian. The truth is the California bar is notoriously hard, the pass rate was only 55%, the pass rate for people who didn‘t go to an accredited law school is way lower, and lots of very smart and dedicated people don’t pass the first time and become good lawyers.

Some welcome news this morning

Trump has treated the law as a weapon his entire career, but now he has apparatchiks at the Department of “Justice” to do it for him. The honorable ones are resigning. An update from Florida www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/u...

Senators look at Trump's shameless corruption and say "give us some of that"

There are *nowhere near* 100 million foreign-born people in the United States. If he knows this elementary fact, he wants to deport many tens of millions of U.S. citizens. If he doesn't know this elementary fact, his cruelty is equal to his ignorance

*tapping the sign* The correct term for them is the fraudulent electors

#BREAKING: Over no public dissents, #SCOTUS denies Kim Davis's petition asking the justices to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges (which recognized federal constitutional protections for same-sex marriage): www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

New: On The Gateway Pundit's podcast yesterday, Stewart Rhodes announced he's relaunching the Oath Keepers He also urged Trump to “call us up as a militia" & "order us all to come together in our counties under his command." www.mediamatters.org/oath-keepers...

A federal judge appointed by Reagan is resigning so he can speak out against Trump's assault on the rule of law. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Every time we visit grandma the 12-yr old brings a list of requests mom and dad said no to so she can overrule us

Thursday in Gettysburg, one of my favorite places, speaking about civil-military relations with @charliesykes.substack.com.web.brid.gy alongside @milestaylor.bsky.social @conorlambpa.bsky.social @walshfreedom.bsky.social then later leader a battlefield tour. Thanks to ⁦‪@Principles_1st

Trump absolutely failed to convince Judge Immergut there was reason to deploy the National Guard to Portland, just as Portland's Police had reason not to trust what ICE officials said was happening. A huge ruling

This is a big deal, although a lot will depend on what #SCOTUS does in the Illinois case (in which we don’t expect a ruling until the week of November 17 at the earliest).

Right-wing accounts on X have been spreading a baseless conspiracy theory accusing a former Capitol Police officer of planting the J6 pipe bombs. Amid all that, Ed Martin posted a thread that spelled out “P I P E ?” He later deleted some of the tweets and then posted this on his DOJ account:

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

A lot of MAGA are having difficulty with their mirror universe versions of Sandwich Guy, so I made this to help them

The thing about Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire is that he prevented, illegally, funds that our representatives appropriated from saving some of the world's most vulnerable people. Thanks to Musk, Trump, and Rubio, hundreds of thousands are now dying, most of them children.

Y'know, if they'd charged Sandwich Guy with a misdemeanor to start with, I could see the same jurors finding him guilty. But they didn't do that. They failed three times (three!) to charge him with felony assault, THEN they charged him with a misdemeanor. So I think the jury said ℑ#©k you

The verdict we've been waiting for: Sandwich Guy is not guilty!

A guy collapses down on the floor right next to him, the guy could be dying, and Trump doesn’t move a muscle, doesn’t give a damn, and looks super pissed off that his photo op this afternoon has been interrupted. Donald Trump, in a perfect nutshell.👇

A 45 year-old married couple with one child living in Helena Montana and earning $70,000 a year is about to see their ACA premium rise from $263 a month to $515 a month.

This is absolutely playing in my head in the voice of Orson Welles.

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...

I will not be surprised if Mike Johnson begins to get some more significant internal discontentment and perhaps rebellion from within his own caucus. His members now realize they’re collectively headed toward being in the minority. And that a number of them individually are facing unemployment.

On the swing in Virginia

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

The California Prop 50 yes vote was not close, either. With two-thirds of the votes in, it's 64-36

On the swing here in New Jersey:

For the record, the governor's race here in New Jersey was not close (56-43). My county went for Sherrill by +53 points

I know all politics is local, but Trump makes everything about him. So this was about him

There it is. In my view, this is the biggest result of the night. Texas wants to turn the House of Representatives into a Duma of toadies for Donald Trump. Today, California answered the call. Today, California voted to fight for the United States of America. Thank you, California

This seems big.

👀

looks like democrats are about to flip two statewide elections with >20-point margins... in georgia

Friends in Australia are watching the election results come in :)

Polls will begin to close very soon. And it'll feel like there are a million things to watch! One resource to bookmark: my cheat sheet to election night. We'll be updating with results as they're known: so once you know what happened in VA, NYC, NJ, you can check out the all the down-ballot stuff!

NEW: “To read it is to spend 48 pages understanding the depth of corruption in the Justice Department in the second Trump administration.” @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org and I break down DOJ’s response to James Comey’s vindictive prosecution motion. ⬇️ www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

My wife's coworker was watching a movie this weekend, and one scene featured people screaming. The coworker's phone *heard the screaming and dialed 911*. They explained it was the TV, but the cops had to come anyway, and did, and asked everyone questions until they were satisfied

Sandwich Guy is in the courthouse cafeteria eating a soup.

One thing we need to figure out in the AfterTimes is how to prevent industrial scale lying from people protected by CI or S&D.
