Thank you for your service in all its forms, Paul. And special thanks for tirelessly fighting on behalf of your fellow veterans.

Can Trump use emergency powers to impose tariffs? @preetbharara.bsky.social and I break down the oral arguments before SCOTUS on a new episode of @cafedotcom.bsky.social Insider: cafe.visitlink.me/c9VxPG

That’s a lot.

67% of Germans say that “When in doubt, we can and should no longer rely on military assistance from the US.”

@sanders.senate.gov: "Even if by some miracle you got 60 votes, where do you think that amendment would go? Speaker Johnson has made it very clear that he's not going to entertain it. Trump would never sign it. So it is an empty gesture. It bothers me that people want to raise false hopes."

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

DO NOT CAVE!

An end to the shutdown is in sight. A senior Dem Senator tells me there will be more than enough Democrats to vote in favor of re-opening the government tonight. They’ll get a promise of a vote on health care — but nothing more. Most of the Democratic leadership will likely vote against it.

“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing

More Trouble for the Comey Indictment? Public documents may undermine a core premise underlying the charges against James Comey.

ICYMI: I reviewed hundreds of internal FBI emails and documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.

The records appear to undermine a core premise underlying the charges against James Comey.

My latest for @lawfaremedia.org:

Caving on the shutdown won’t make you “moderate.” It makes you WEAK! Giving Republicans what they want for NOTHING more than a “promise” of a vote and risking millions of Americans’ healthcare isn’t compromise—it’s surrender and it’s the most RADICAL thing you could do in this moment. 1/

ICE Agents kidnap workers in Chicago in BROAD DAYLIGHT, leaving equipment running behind

Until the end of the government shutdown, our campaign will be donating $2,500 a month to a food pantry in the Ninth District.

And to my fellow candidates, I challenge you to do the same:

Also interesting how Sen candidates like McMorrow are reacting which is firmly against a deal

Or maybe Senate Democrats are aware of how pissed off voters will be?

This alleged deal guarantees a BILLION dollars in spending for security and police at the Capitol, and then a pinky promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies that will surely lose.

Not sure a billion will even be enough but OK.

In a chaotic kidnapping raid yesterday, ICE in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood shot a chemical munition into a family’s moving car. The shrapnel from the pepper ball/spray hit a baby. (11/8/2025)

Flying at 8000 feet today News Captain says flying at 8000 feet (!) Newark to Savannah today instead of 34000 because of air traffic control restrictions. Everyone has to say seated including flight attendants. Never in my 40 years in flying has this happened … wondering what the view will be 😀

Things are fine.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

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.

Other huge victories from last night's elections:

-PA Dems defended their 5-2 Supreme Court majority
-GA Dems flipped two GOP-held seats on the state utility commission
-CO approved a ballot measure to fund universal school meals

America's Sleeping Giant has awakened.

House cancels votes next week, including vote on Epstein files.

Word on the Hill: Gary Peters, Jeanne Shaheen, and other centrist Democrats want to end the shutdown. Every poll shows Republicans are losing this fight. Secure the ACA subsidies. We do not capitulate to a fascist tyrant and especially not when we’re winning you morons. Blow up their fucking phones.

Which is yet another reason why Senate Democrats cannot give up their fight to protect Americans’ health coverage by moving to end the shutdown now. The Democrats’ fight has super-charged the base, & its trust in the party will be irreparably damaged if Democrats give up now. Hold firm, Senators!

Can Stanley actually not see what a hypocrite he is for telling the rest of us we must do hard & dangerous things to save our country as he is running off to the safety of Canada? His fatuous excuse that he can fight a bully better at a distance is just an affront to our collective intelligence!

What happened to one of the most central tenets of his books — that when Americans are confronted with a grave threat to our democracy, we owe it to future generations to fight back against autocracy just as hard as our forefathers fought to save democracy for us?

Andrew Cuomo may have lost, but he can take consolation that he lost with class, his dignity intact *touches earpiece* I'm getting an update
