⚡️Ukraine reportedly strikes thermal power plant in occupied Donetsk Oblast.

Ukraine's military reportedly struck a Russian-controlled thermal power plant in occupied Donetsk Oblast late on Nov. 11, Russian Telegram media channels reported.

The harmful economic policies of Trump and Republicans are crushing the American people.

The U.S. lost an average of 11,000 jobs per week last month.

Also, release the Epstein Files.

It’s wildly disingenuous for @aaron.bsky.team to reply to queries about Sarah Kendzior’s suspension about how they don’t comment publicly on individual users when he knows that we all know that they haven’t even told her privately what the basis for the suspension is

'A Slap in the Face': Federal Employees Feel Betrayed by Democrats' Shutdown Cave "I would rather be an actual pawn. At least pawn sacrifices are calculated and achieve something."

Why this isn’t a happy Veterans Day OPINION: With the military being used to occupy American cities, honoring veterans without acknowledging unlawful deployment stateside is a disservice to the nation, Joseph Holsworth writes.

🧵A veteran speaks out on Trump this Veteran's Day.

"There is not a single man or woman in uniform who signed up to deploy to American cities for this mission. There is no honor in this service. "

Funeral of Irish man killed in Ukraine tomorrow The funeral of Irish man Alex Ryzhuk, who was killed in Ukraine last year, will take place tomorrow in the Western Ukrainian village of Kryliv.

So looking at the actual SF chronicle article, the only place this song is accruing notice is on Spotify, which is easily gamed by bots. If I were an AI proponent who desperately needed to boost the validity of my investment, this is exactly what I’d do.

A veteran's powerful truth: "Donald Trump is the biggest threat to veterans alive today." We fully agree. He's betrayed their service, slashing earned benefits & dignity. Unacceptable! #VeteransDay

In actual, functioning democracies, this doesn't take 7 weeks & depend on the politically-motivated whims of the parliamentary chairman.

I'm concerned about Duffy's competence.

Time to get back to what really matters:

To fully understand what happened -- in this case, people were arrested, paid their bail or had their case resolved, and then were detained because of a purported ICE detainer (the class members didn't get copies of the detainer). This violates due process bc they were otherwise "free". 1/2

16 Mr. Pulte’s conduct demonstrates how far allies of the President would go to carry out his “get James” orders. Public reports indicate that Mr. Pulte “skipped over his agency’s inspector general when making criminal referrals” against President Trump’s political enemies. Reports also indicate he may have bypassed ethics rules in doing so. Marisa Taylor & Chris Prentice, Exclusive: Trump official bypassed ethics rules in criminal referrals of Fed governor and other foes, sources say, Reuters (Oct. 6, 2025), https://perma.cc/HK6Y-LJVR. The FHFA has no generalized crimefighting or anti-fraud authority. It does not even have an express authority to make criminal referrals besides those granted to the FHFA’s Inspector General under the Inspector General Act of 1978. In addition to violations of the act itself, Mr. Pulte may have failed to comply with the FHFA’s own Privacy Act regulations, which require FHFA to “ensure” that records containing personally identifiable information are “protected from public view.” Domenic Powell, Are Pulte’s “Mortgage Fraud” Investigations Legal?, Yale J.

Here's how the prior report on this made it into James' Vindictive Prosecution claim.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 16 does not require the Government to produce vindictive/selective prosecution-related evidence before a defendant files such a motion. The Rule permits a defendant to discover evidence material to her defense, FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(a)(1)(C), but “defense” means the “defense against the Government’s case in chief, . . . not to the preparation of selective prosecution claims.” Armstrong, 517 U.S. at 462 (citing FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(a)(1)(C))(emphasis added). FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(a)(2) underscores the limitation to “defense” as it “exempts from defense inspection ‘reports, memoranda, or other internal government documents made by the attorney for the government or other government agents in connection with the investigation or prosecution of the case.’” Id. (quoting FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(a)(2)). “If a selective-prosecution claim is a ‘defense,’ Rule 16(a)(1)(C) gives the defendant the right to examine Government work product in every prosecution except his own.” Id.

Reminder that ABOUT when this report that Bill Pulte was sniffing in Letitia James' private records, Lindsey the Insurance Lawyer filed motion saying they weren't going to provide reports just like the one that said Bill Pulte was sniffing in her business.

Fannie Mae watchdogs who were removed from their jobs had been probing if Trump appointee Bill Pulte had improperly obtained mortgage records of key Democratic officials, including New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to people familiar with the matter. Fannie’s ethics and investigations group had received internal complaints alleging senior officials had improperly directed staff to access the mortgage documents of James and others, according to the people. The Fannie investigators were probing to find out who had made the orders, whether Pulte had the authority to seek the documents and whether or not they had followed proper procedure, the people said. That group elevated the probe about the James documents to the more senior Office of Inspector General for the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the agency that oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and that Pulte heads, the people said. The acting inspector general then passed the report to the U.S. attorney’s office in eastern Virginia, some of the people said.

Israeli Spy Stayed for Weeks at a Time at Jeffrey Epstein's Mansion Leaked emails show Epstein working on a wire transfer to Ehud Barak's top aide, Yoni Koren, who regularly stayed at his apartment.

It's been known for a while but demands more coverage.

Ehud Barak is friendly with the media. He should answer questions about his involvement with Epstein.
