Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

Under the US Constitution, power to tariff & regulate are two separate powers of Congress. Congress has to specifically delegate to it or POTUS to wield tariffing power. IEEPA doesn’t delegate tariff power to POTUS. Therefore, Donald's tariffs are invalid. youtu.be/xgrJaX68xZY

Donald & MAGA would sooner starve million of Americans, let ACA subsidies expire & kill the filibuster than NEGOTIATE a way to open the government. That’s how badly MAGA forbids that ‘N word.’ youtu.be/-t0eiJN86Z4

Having power, being in power, is more than anything a responsibility. Now that Democrats have been elected to power, they must understand their responsibilities. They have to meet the moment & follow through on their promises. youtu.be/emAJnVZz8BU

New in PN: The softest Nazis you ever did see "Call it tough guy in the streets and widdle guy in the sheets (of paper for court filings). Truly, nothing revealed this better than the DC Sandwich Guy, Sean Dunn, who a jury found not guilty yesterday."

The Trump Shutdown is the longest in US history. House Republicans aren’t even in DC — they’re hiding out at home for the 5th week in a row. As the GOP does nothing, federal workers are missing paychecks, families are going hungry, air travel is becoming a nightmare, and our economy is sputtering.

Andrew Otazo has plucked, bagged, heaved and hauled more than 17 tons of trash from the mangroves in Florida. Every piece of garbage he removes reclaims space for what should be there: bird nesting grounds and fish nurseries. https://wapo.st/4oS36Vx

This is horrible. #Thugs

"To me, as an economist.. the much deeper, much harder question is, what is the national emergency? President Trump claims that it's bilateral trade deficits. If you talk to any economist with a pulse, they'll tell you that bilateral trade deficits are the most uninteresting thing in the world."

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Furloughed federal workers are taking on side hustles and doing everything from working retail, substitute teaching, notarizing and starting new businesses.

There's a judge who agrees about the conditions being unacceptable. The problem is enforcing his injunction. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/05/b...

It shouldn’t require a judge to step in for the president to honor his oath.

Mockler: Who started this new era of divisive politics? Was it Obama? Was it Biden? It was definitely trump. Trump's claim to fame in the political arena was saying that Obama's birth certificate was fake.

“He’s having a seizure and they’re trying to rip the baby out of her hands”

Mockler: But I do want to say it's not impressive that the stock market is at all time highs. It's more impressive that Donald Trump was able to tank the stock market multiple times via his tariffs. The growth over the past nine months is slower than Biden's last nine months in office.

Mockler: The fundamental fact is that things are getting worse for Americans. Over the past nine and a half months or so, Donald Trump has continually claimed that we are in a golden age of America, that we brought in $18 trillion via tariffs…

Mockler: Throughout my youth, I've watched Donald Trump normalize a type of extremist rhetoric that the U.S. has never seen before. Now, that is manifesting in the GOP…

Mockler: The way that Donald Trump speaks about the democratic party, the way that Donald Trump speaks about people who disagree with him, has normalized his extremist rhetoric. He said that we were gnats who need to be taken care of in front of the military.

OBAMA: “We had a good night on Tuesday… the American people are paying attention — when young people are engaged and involved, we win.” @barackobama.bsky.social was a surprise drop-in at the @podsaveamerica.crooked.com live taping to open #CrookedCon in D.C.

God always says exactly what I’m thinking. Does that at least make me an apprentice angel?

We're now living in a world where Marjorie Taylor Greene has become the voice of reason. Yeah. I know. Me too.

Republican senators sunk a war powers resolution that would have blocked President Trump’s administration from potentially conducting military strikes inside Venezuela without the authorization of Congress.

“There is a strong link that’s been found in political science research connecting peaceful protest to election outcomes.” @ezralevin.bsky.social and @chrislhayes.bsky.social discuss the connection between No Kings Day and the surging turnout on Tuesday.

Ridiculous. Cruel. Lawless.

Collins: When the president says there's virtually no inflation and that grocery prices are going down, do you agree with him on that? Greene: No. I go to the grocery store myself. Grocery prices remain high. Energy prices are high.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)

Today, I voted in support of a resolution that would force Trump to get congressional approval before using military force against Venezuela. Senate Republicans blocked it—ceding their constitutional authority to Trump. Once again, they bent the knee to a wanna-be king.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

BREAKING: A judge will order federal agents in Chicago to restrict using force against protesters and media.

🫣👀 🙏 for him!

“This is how you’re allowing them to treat the people taking care of our babies” We have heard privately from Republicans who are horrified by this one. She has papers. They went room to room in a daycare. This is both racial profiling, and terrorism.

CHICAGO — 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. @wttw.bsky.social #Chicago #ICE @brendannyhan.bsky.social news.wttw.com/2025/11/06/f...

It's so confusing ... ICE agents are acting like criminals, and criminals are posing as ICE agents.

Rep. Jason Crow: "Trump and Republicans were the ones that shut this government down because they froze us out of negotiations. They literally recessed the House of Representatives over a month ago and haven't even opened the doors, so we can't even debate, vote, or negotiate."

Trump taking a victory lap because Walmart made their Thanksgiving meal smaller and crappier (and hence cheaper) is such a perfect encapsulation of his hucksterism

Trump’s tariffs have been nothing short of a disaster for American families. Higher grocery, gas, rent, healthcare, and utility prices — the average household can’t afford this.   It’s time we put a stop to these tariffs and focus on lowering costs across the board.
