Wow, a Long Island jury awarded $112 Million to 674 immigrants who were unlawfully held by county police so they could be handed over to ICE

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

A Quick Take on Team Cave’s Big Win talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/a-qui...

NEW: House Dems — left and center — are furious about the Senate deal. "People are pissed," one told @axios.com Another said there is "near universal frustration." There's renewed chatter about backing Senate primary challengers — incl. against Schumer. www.axios.com/2025/11/10/d...

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

CALM IS MORE CONDUCTIVE TO CREATIVITY THAN IS ANXIETY

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Tonight was a very bad night.

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people. Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Why a bunch of Senators who are retiring are leading the negotiations is something to really think on

Trump promised lower prices and fascism and has delivered higher prices and fascism.

Enormously sad news

“We have rarely witnessed such brutality erupt into public view like it has in Chicago,” writes Michael Woolf, senior minister of Lake Street Church of Evanston. “For me, this is a spiritual emergency, and it means putting our bodies on the line in order to stop deportations.”

As Ta-Nehisi Coates said last month: “.. it’s either one of two things: either you’re cowards or you’re with him. And if you’re with him, you never believed in the things you were talking about to begin with.”

Absolute peak enshittification, here. Unbelievable. "We've decided to hide the standard functionality of our previous product – you know, the thing you depend on – and put it in a drop-down menu that you're unlikely to find"

Something deeply fucked up when you can blindly break basic state functions and condemn millions to death and then people make you the richest man in the world instead of a pariah

Chris Rufo/Ron DeSantis overhauled New College and made it "the most financially inefficient school in the university system" Degree yield is 19%, 2nd-worst in Fla. Operating funds per student at New College: $83,207 Same category at Univ of Florida: $45,765 www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/e...

It continues to be deeply bizarre that according to the rest of the GOP, blatant and brazen corruption of the sort that had remained essentially taboo in American politics more or less forever is completely legal for this one guy

Indeed, he was allowed to to kill all those children because he is so rich

This, in particular, is spectacularly hideous. It's like something you'd see on the wall of a car dealership where they put pictures of their top salespeople every month

BREAKING: A man who threw a sandwich at a federal agent during Trump’s law enforcement surge in Washington, D.C., is found not guilty of assault.

Conservatives have spent years weaponizing “protect and think of the children” to great effect. It is odd to me that there seems to be no plan of action from the regime for the consequences *actually violently threatening the safety of children in public view*.

This video is devastating. Imagine dropping your child off at daycare, only to learn that ICE took a beloved caregiver in front of the children minutes after. Imagine going to work to care for beloved children, only to be ripped away from them and your own family by ICE.

ICE is denying people their due process rights and endangering their lives in the process. “People were not supposed to spend more than 12 hours in there,” said a former ICE official who worked on oversight and detention issues. “I actually think it’s wildly, wildly fucked up.”

New data: CBPP analyzed USDA’s contingency fund spending plan & found it is only going to release 2/3 of the funding they committed to in court filings, cutting families’ SNAP benefits far more than necessary, violating USDA’s own regulations & shortchanging millions of families.

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

What we know so far, 9:30pm —Dems flip VA-Gov & VA-LG. —BIG Dem gains in VA House —Dems win NJ-Gov —Mamdani up —Dems seem to flip 2 statewide offices in GA —JD Vance's half-brother loses in Cincy. —Dems sweep Orlando council —PA: Dem justices up big —Maine anti-mail vote measure down —Krasner wins

To me, this is the big news out of Virginia: the higher ed institutions are about to find a spine.

NBC, The New York Times, and most importantly @hellgatenyc.com call the NYC mayoral race for Zohran Mamdani.

Not so shocking if you consider the hundreds of thousands of federal workers in Virginia who the president completely shat on.

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago
