You always hear the rationale that if a reporter stood up to Trump, they'd be kicked off the plane/out of the briefing, etc. Which means what? That they'd no longer be present for something that's already widely disseminated without their help? They trade dignity and integrity for access to nothing.

From our educators: “Urgent: Email City Council Members and County Commissioners by tomorrow, 11.18, to urge them to pass a resolution to protect our schools and communities from ICE activity on school, city, or county property. We need policy to protect our communities!” - ACAE & BCAE

Khanna: "There should be no buildings named after people in this Epstein class. There should be no scholarships named after them. They shouldn't be enjoying perks of being affiliated w/ corporations or universities. Many of the survivors will tell you some of these people still are celebrated"

If CBP, Customs and Border Protection, is only supposed to operate within 100 miles of the U.S. border, what are they doing leading operations in Charlotte, North Carolina?

Or is it loser focused 🤔

So the occupant of our White House is cool with pedophilia and we’re just going to carry on like everything is normal?

What a photograph.

“Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…”

Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

FLASHBACK 👇🏽— Rep. @aftynbehn.bsky.social getting dragged out for protesting then-Speaker Casada’s support for Rep. Byrd, who apologized ON TAPE to 1 of 3 girls who say he sexually abused them as their 🏀 coach. (Casada was just pardoned by Trump for corruption)

a very grumpy little brussels griffon with black and tan fur and big ears is laying in a fluffy dog bed and absolutely scowling at you. his mouth is a downturned arch that would be classified as a rainbow shape in any more positive context, and he’s squinting directly at you, challenging this unnecessary disruption. the green dog bed he’s laying on looks (probably coincidentally?) exactly like the fur of oscar the grouch.

This is Carl. He was just woken up from a nap. Hopes for your sake the house is on fire. 12/10 (IG: grumpus.steve.carl)

The Christians Who Defend Predators Surveying my social media feed this week, the questions swirl like a storm inside my head as a former pastor:

How do millions of professed followers of Jesus reach a point where they harbor predators, willfully abandon survivors, and redact the truth in order to shield the monsters from the raking light of accountability?

How do Christians align with r*pists?

For Donald Trump, starving 42 million Americans of food is not a tragedy but a strategy.

The refusal to fully fund SNAP makes a mockery of the very Christian values that Trump pretends to espouse.

WATCH: @raskin.house.gov explains the deal that would allow eight GOP senators lucrative lawsuits over phone record subpoenas:

"It's certainly the most corrupt provision authorizing financial self-dealing and plunder of the public passed by Congress in this century."

GOP Rep. John Rose on GOP senators' taxpayer-funded payouts: "I'm calling on senators to disavow this, including Marsha Blackburn, who unfortunately apparently telegraphed she's planning to take advantage of this opportunity to put millions of dollars in her pocket at the expense of the taxpayer"

Standing at Delta counter fifteen minutes .. line continues to form … no agents in site …. #Asheville #delta

Jeffries: "It's unbelievable that for 7 plus weeks Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has been denied the ability to serve more than 800,000 people in Arizona because Republicans are running a pedophile protection program."

Foxx shouldn't have gone back in on this one.

🔥 @RepJoeNeguse: “Most of 🇺🇸 will find this REPUGNANT. These senators are guaranteeing themselves million-dollar paydays.”

Bipartisan horror at @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn’s greedy money grab snuck inside the funding bill— rewarding themselves for getting investigated.

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.

McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation

Last night … This morning … Asheville

Put a woman in charge …
