“60 Minutes paid me a lot of money”

In an edited-out part of the Trump interview Trump brags about extorting CBS for millions for… editing out a part of Kamala’s interview.

(He also makes it clear new CBS chief Bari Weiss is in his pocket) #RIPCBS

Mike Johnson has done many shameful things

•Cutting Medicaid by $1 trillion

•Endorsing Trump’s election lies

•Letting health insurance costs skyrocket

But his refusal to swear in Adelita Grijalva so he can protect Trump from being embarrassed by the release of the Epstein files is right up there

He didn’t!

Trump played far more often in his first term (260+ in four years versus Obama’s 330+ over eight years) — and is playing *more often* this time around.

Refusing to follow the Constitution is only “politics” to people who never had any intention to abide by the Constitution in the first place

The people on the right getting mad at Tucker Carlson for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on his podcast don’t seem to have gotten mad at all at Donald Trump for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at his home for dinner. Funny that.

Hey, remind me what happened after the Roaring 20s?

The Trump Administration is basically claiming the right to kill anyone anywhere for any reason or for no reason, with no evidence provided or accountability to Congress or the American people.

Obama: The weird videos of a U.S. President with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet and dumping poop on protesting citizens… All of that is designed to distract you from the fact that your situation has not gotten better.

Dems need to prepare that between Trump's likely blanket pardons and claims of immunity the only way to get justice for all these murders will be to send Trump officials to Colombia to stand trial.
We saw how well "ignore Trump criminality and it will go away" worked last time.

Outside Chicago—

State police and sheriff's officers at Broadview detention center are out in riot gear.

A large Halloween demo is being prevented from doing a Jericho walk through the intersection.

Arrests of protesters ongoing. Troopers have also assaulted multiple reporters already.

Republican failures in voting rights cases continues to be a dominant theme of election law in 2025, just as it has been for the last five years. Perhaps more in the legacy media could cover this important trend.

Even MTG Wants to Know Truth About Trump Goons’ Free Houses Top Trump officials like Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio have all moved into taxpayer-subsidized military homes over the past couple of months.

"But Her Emails" he cried softly

More Insta snaps from the let them eat cake ball at Mar a Lago

Here’s #FoxNews, admitting that Friday’s outrage story about the alleged SNAP recipient demanding that the taxpayers feed her children was, erm, fabricated.

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.

If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.

So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”

Because that IS what they are going to say.

Wonderful doggos!

I want to live in an America where nobody does public displays of their Nazism because it will ruin their whole goddamn life, as it should.

This is flat out false. SNAP cannot be used for that. It’s not permitted under federal law and no states have an exemption for it.

Can I also just say, again, that the Biden admin under no circumstances committed to “left-wing” migration policy, in any way, shape, or form. I want Douthat to articulate what specific policies he thinks are included in that, because I think he seriously misunderstands the policies at issue.

Nancy Mace is one of those people who is deeply miserable yet not as miserable as she deserves.

It's a long shot and it'd take a while, but we have to try to to hold accountable anyone who participated in extrajudicial murders. That's not okay.

If that happened, then they could do that to anyone. Even you or me. It's worth voting straight #Democratic just to try to force an investigation.

Folks, please note this. The top military official overseeing Trump's boat bombings recently resigned with no explanation, and now Republicans in Congress are refusing to press for his testimony even in a classified setting.

Lots of new behind-the-scenes reporting in this piece:

Several have survived bombings and have been repatriated, rather than held as enemy combatants. Does this mean the admin lacks sufficient evidence to hold the people it is summarily executing?

This also came up in private briefing. The unnerving details are here:

Here’s what they actually thought: they’ll just go after the left wing Bad Jews (who aren’t really Jews so it’s ok) but we’re the Good Jews so it will be fine. joelhs.bsky.social/post/3m4gzansohs2a

"There's not a single thing that you care about that the Supreme Court can't touch. And these people are unelected"

@elienyc.bsky.social tells @deanobeidallah.bsky.social that we need to reform the Supreme Court to hold them accountable.

He’ll have to spend some time thinking about it on the couch

Welcome to Your Reckoning Republicans discover—with shock!—that white supremacists were the call coming from inside the house

The right spent years panicking about pronouns while ignoring Nazis in their own ranks. Now they’re shocked to discover the call was coming from inside the house.
