Every day, Trump's numbers tick down further.

I got to write about the Whale Thing, which is one of my favorite things

CA voters approve Prop 50. Track live results here California voters have approved a measure that would use Democratic-drawn congressional maps for the next three elections, The Associated Press reported.

California does the work and the cities want Dem Mayors.

In Cincinnati, JD Vance’s brother lost to a Dem.

Pittsburgh, Detroit, Minneapolis, Atlanta and Buffalo have all elected Dem mayors

Seattle’s mayoral race hasn’t been called but both contestants are blue so that’s a pretty solid sweep!

A tweet from Adam Carlson (@admcrlsn) says: “Andrew Cuomo has now been endorsed by: Donald Trump Elon Musk Eric Adams Bill Ackman Woody Allen Eric Trump George Santos Rep. Nick Langworthy (R) Rep. Mike Lawler (R) Fmr. Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R) Councilwoman Inna Vernikov (R) Steve Wynn Ronald Lauder Barry Diller Dan Loeb”

With friends like these, who needs enemas?

A post reads: “I will not raise my children to think Donald Trump is an acceptable American leader. He’s a con artist, a predator, a malignant narcissist. And the worst president in our nation’s history.” Below, a woman stands at a podium speaking, flanked by others, including a man and an older woman, in front of U.S. flags. The image is dated November 3, 2025.

California National Guard's Drug Interception Skyrockets After Resuming State Control; Governor Newsom Highlights $6.75 Million in Seized Fentanyl Fentanyl seizures in California rose by 240% after the return of the National Guard from an unrelated assignment.

This is the critical work that Donald Trump forced the Cal Guard to stop in order to militarize Los Angeles.

It's long past time for Trump to fully return every service member he wrongfully federalized back to state control.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Oregon sea stars bounce back from near extinction after years of decline A similar recovery has not been observed among sunflower sea stars which are linked to the vanishing of Oregon's underwater kelp forests.

This happened in a shopping center near the Hillsboro Airport TODAY.

Three fed agents confront two teenage girls and pepper spray them.

Good Morning...here's a Freudian slip we can all appreciate. 😇

Proud to support Senator Jeff Merkley on the floor today as he sounds the alarm on Trump's creeping authoritarianism. My family fled Nazi Germany. We know a thing or two about what happens next.

Thank you, Senator Jeff Merkley, for your incredible 22-hour and 37-minute marathon speech on the Senate floor!

This makes sense coming from the guy whose son monitors his porn consumption

A screenshot of an X.com post by @Acyn , Acyn, posted 3 hours ago, stating, "Question: Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th? Pelosi: Turns Around Shut up. I did not refuse the National Guard. The President didn’t send it! Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you are a serious journalist?" The post includes a video still from Lindell TV showing a confrontation: a woman in a green jacket (Pelosi) speaking into a microphone held by a man in a blue suit, with another man in a suit and a background of parked cars and a government building.

Nancy Pelosi is sick of their bullshit.

Given the Trumpist assault on the patriotism of all who plan to attend No Kings rallies, I urge every Democratic elected official to attend one. They shouldn’t speak—if there are speakers, better to br less partisan civic leaders and citizens—but they should stand in solidarity with the rest of us.

Hahaha!!!

A tweet by Aaron Blake says: “‘Insurrection.’ ‘Invasion.’ ‘Rebellion.’ ‘War ravaged Portland.’ Trump keeps painting a hellscape to justify expanding his power. Judges keep saying his picture isn’t close to accurate.” Below is a photo of Donald Trump walking past a wall where his shadow appears in profile.

That’s because his picture isn’t close to accurate.

A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.

You gotta give ‘em hop.

Tweet by Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: “Border Patrol reportedly shot a dog and then the agent fled rather than deal with any kind of accountability whatsoever.” Below is Keith Edwards’ tweet: “BREAKING: A family in El Paso says ICE shot and killed their dog, Chop. The agent who fired reportedly ran as the family screamed for help. No one came.”

Photo of a large black and brown Rottweiler sitting calmly on a tiled floor next to a white chair and a window with blinds.

A black-background screenshot of text describing an incident: the sender says no Border Patrol agents rendered aid after their dog was shot, and that the responsible agent fled the scene with help from others. They emphasize that the agent’s name was never released and that their family lost a member “for no lawful reason.”

Kristi Noem’s America, folks. That poor dog. That poor family.

Tweet from Meidas_Charise Lee: “THIS IS THE COOLEST WAR ZONE EVER! Portland’s strategy… maybe if we act weird enough they’ll leave!” Attached is a photo of people in colorful inflatable costumes dancing or moving playfully at night.

So “antifa” is really “inflata” and is a bunch of people protesting in blow up costumes.

Guy who is zip-tying American children and shooting pastors on the head with pepper balls wants Peace Prize.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Murmurs: U.S. Citizen Swept Up by ICE WW Staff

Agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement abducted a U.S. citizen before he started work on Northeast Airport Way last Thursday

Canada vs. America

So the American taxpayer eats it twice, once on tariffs and again on a second farm bailout. I’m glad farmers are getting help, no one should lose their farm, but it’s remarkable how fast “socialism” stops being a dirty word when the checks clear in red counties.

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter: A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them. Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us
