Justice must catch up with these criminal ICE agents. They will eventually lose their cover.

Sooo interested what SCOTUS will do with redistricting “The court’s going to have to give some indication because of this unusual churn. They’re all coming, like an army of zombies.” -Rick Hasen, University of California at Los Angeles law professor (via Politico) www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Jeez. “In my practice, we’d have a frank discussion about whether this is a person we’d offer a termination to at the point of thrombectomy.” -Dr. Will Williams, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist in New Orleans (via ProPublica) www.propublica.org/article/texa...

It's not much, but it's a conversation. Not sure my flicker of hope will survive beyond my first cup of coffee. "Republicans are circulating legislation...that would fund low-income peoples’ health savings accounts." -Politico www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Such a mess will be left. "It’s still too soon to say, but...the best guess is that the coast-to-coast redistricting wars are probably worth just two or three seats for Republicans....probably not worth the cost and the inevitable unintended consequences." -The Hill thehill.com/homenews/cam...

Trump is only giving ground that he's already lost. He continues to position himself for whatever comes next. "The president could order the release of the entire Epstein document trove at any time, vote or no vote. So far, he’s declined to do so." -Politico www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

This sort of thing used to draw a lot of attention.

No evidence provided. "The US military has carried out at least 19 strikes so far against suspected drug vessels...killing at least 75 people. The Trump administration insists those targeted were transporting drugs, without providing evidence." -The Guardian www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Let's not do this. "The Department of Education...should not take...action that would enrich the wealthy and well-connected at the expense of working-class borrowers and taxpayers.” -Letter authored by lawmakers led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (via The Hill) thehill.com/homenews/edu...

Dude, just release the files.

He's ensuring this doesn't go away. "It is expected that dozens of Republicans will vote for (the full release of the files), with the knowledge that their constituents want greater transparency about the affair and want them to hold the line." -The Guardian www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Pretty sure she didn't deliver a similar message to Texas over redistricting. "Newsom should be concerned about keeping Californians safe and shutting down Antifa violence, not rigging his state for political gain." -Attorney General Pam Bondi (via BBC News) bbc.com/news/article...

People are starting to notice. "The provision in the funding bill related to Smith’s probe is...creating political liability for Senate Republicans." -Politico www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

I love discovering new books through recommendations. It's interesting that I only had one title from Time's list already on my radar ("Death of the Author" by Nnedi Okorafor). I'll definitely be exploring the other suggestions. time.com/collections/...

Can't wait to see those great ideas. "We have lots of great ideas, but I don't want to show our cards." -Dr. Mehmet Oz (via Politico) www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

He has no economic plan. "Trump’s policies, taken together, are more like 'an idiosyncratic hodgepodge.'" -Mariana Muzzacato (via Politico) www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Takes effect in one year. Now's the time to fight for a better plan. “The bill...overrides the regulatory frameworks of several states, cancels the collective decisions of hemp consumers and destroys the livelihoods of hemp farmers.” - Sen. Rand Paul (via The Hill) thehill.com/newsletters/...

Don't let up. "Some outside voices on the right would prefer to avoid the subsidy issue from being used as a 'nonstop political weapon with which to bludgeon Republicans,'" -Matt Boyle, Breitbart Washington Bureau Chief (via The Hill) thehill.com/newsletters/...

Yeah, this... "What Trump has been saying is basically the most catastrophic answer you can give — telling people that this is a con job and nobody is feeling the thing that people are overwhelmingly feeling.” - Jesse Lee, former Biden advisor (via Politico) www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

How can Trump's threats be seen as helpful by any constituency? "The reality is the mayor-elect will have to focus a lot of his attention on President Trump and the attacks on New York, as opposed to all the issues he wants to deal with." -Julian Zelizer (via BBC News) www.bbc.com/news/article...

A fanciful little preamble. "'This proclamation ends a grave national injustice perpetrated upon the American people following the 2020 presidential election and continues the process of national reconciliation,' reads the pardon signed by Trump on Nov. 7." -Time time.com/7332454/trum...

He's economically illiterate. “'A dividend of at $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone,' the president said on his Truth Social platform." -The Hill thehill.com/homenews/adm...

"You woke us up." – Gavin Newsom, praising Democratic Texas lawmakers for attempting to block redistricting efforts (via The Hill) thehill.com/homenews/sta...

“'Perhaps in no other time in history have leaders in Washington been more determined to pull the United States backwards in the fight against the climate crisis,' Manish Bapna, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council, said Friday in a statement." apnews.com/article/gree...

"Trump said the 2026 G20 will be held at his Doral resort near Miami. 'I think that everybody wants it here because it’s right next to the airport. It’s the best location. It’s beautiful everything,' Trump told reporters. 'We will not make any money on it.'" thehill.com/homenews/adm...

"Tonight was a great lesson for the Republican Party: running squishy Rs who are lukewarm on Trump and MAGA, even in ‘purple’ states, doesn’t work," Oh, yes. I'm sure that's the reason for your problems, Alex Bruesewitz. thehill.com/homenews/cam...
