ICE’s Detention Center outside Chicago was sued on October 30 for allegedly abusing detainees. One day later, a "system crash" lost all video footage that could have shown how detainees were being treated. trib.al/SQ0LTb0

“Trump’s family has deals to build luxury resorts and hotels in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. And their crypto firm will be used by the UAE to make a $2B deal— netting the Trumps hundreds of millions of dollars. His ‘diplomatic trips’ are blatant self-enrichment opportunities.” @rbreich.bsky.social

He is a deeply sick man, and has always been. But he is sicker than ever.

Trump feuding with Marjorie Taylor Greene but being in love with Zohran Mamdani was not on my November 2025 bingo card

Senators Launch Inquiry After a White House Official Intervened on Behalf of Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation In letters to the White House and DHS, Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Gary Peters called the intervention a “brazen interference with a federal investigation.”

Of course the Whitehouse would step in to protect these misogynistic rapists and sex traffickers. Makes total sense.

A tweet from “Adam Mockler @adammockler” reads: “Stephen Miller just went on Fox News and said telling troops to refuse illegal orders is an ‘open act of insurrection.’ He is telling on himself. They are planning to give illegal orders, and they want a military that will follow them blindly.”

This young man has it exactly right.

Sean Duffy’s Airplane ‘Dress Up’ Advice Gets A Brutal Dressing Down Critics pointed out a major flaw with the Trump transportation secretary’s “out of touch” remark.

We don't need advice on "civil" attire from an administration that thrives on incivility. Civil behavior is important, not how you dress. The behavior of Trump and his enablers is anything but civil. Try setting a good example on appropriate behavior!

We have the bill AND the bipartisan support to restore union rights for 1 million federal workers!

It’s time to get it done.

Trump praising Mamdani and Marjorie Taylor Greene announcing that she will resign on the same day?!

Has Hell frozen over?

Have I entered the Twilight Zone?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Crow: "It just tells us everything that we need to know that reminding people to obey the law, reminding people to obey the Constitution, is somehow criminal in Trumpworld and should be responded to with death threats. It's very, very telling."

Republicans finally want to talk about health care. That’s good — but their ideas are absurd. - The Boston Globe Their proposals would take our already broken health care system and make it even worse. Here’s what we should do instead.

Republicans admit their plan to double ACA premiums & throw 15M off health care is a disaster.

Trump’s “big idea” — a one-time check of AT MOST $6,500 — won't even cover cancer treatment or childbirth.

Health care is a human right. It's time to expand Medicare & cut drug prices.

Jon Stewart and I agree:

AI must work for everybody, not just a handful of billionaires.

New U.S. Coast Guard policy OK with some swastikas & nooses, but not transgender service members Hate symbols will now be recategorized as "potentially divisive.”

Kristi Noem's U.S. Coast Guard is okay with some displays of swastikas and nooses.

But if you're trans, you're out.

Well, CNN is probably going to turn into something like Faux News. It's already been leaning further right. I'm about done with it. If they fire these women, I won't be tuning in at all.

Who knows what unhinged shit he might do? He's losing it. He has the nuclear codes, and he's evil and crazy enough to take the whole world with him.

Unbelievable. He's losing it. Who knows what unhinged shit he might do? He has the nuclear codes, and he's evil and crazy enough to take the whole planet with him.

So he wants the military to break laws and the constitution. If you are in the military please remember you have a right to not follow unlawful orders.
