There is HEAVY pressure on Dems to get in line on this Iran war powers vote. 

Leadership is whipping a yes vote, progressive groups are threatening primary challenges, and I’m told Pelosi is currently giving Landsman a piece of her mind on the floor.

Good. Every Democrat who doesn't do the bare minimum should obviously be obliterated at the next opportunity in their primaries. Glad leadership is whipping yes.

Senate Republicans just voted to block our War Powers Resolution & allow Trump's regime-change war of choice in Iran. Once again, they're contracting out their constitutional duties to Donald Trump, despite the will of their constituents.

Shameful.

No Help and Few Options for Travelers Stranded by Mideast Conflict

One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.

Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.

The incompetence of the Iran War rollout is just stunning.

Rubio says "Israel dragged us into this war! We had no choice!"

Trump says "I dragged Israel into this war! Regime change! Iranian people, rise up!"

Just bonkers.

Four people, with their hands up, standing behind 2 people sitting. 

The four people standing are US citizens who were detained, the two people are families whose family members were killed by migrants.

Jayapal is now introducing 4 US citizens who were detained for at least 6 hours merely for observing ICE.

Kristi Noem sent a much-delayed list of USCit detained by ICE yesterday. None of these four were on the list.

How Kennedy Is Trying to Revamp Medical School

RFK Jr & McMahon wrote a vile letter to my medical school telling us we must stop generating a diverse medical workforce or they'd destroy us

🚨 He's also now forcing US medical schools to adopt HIS KOOKY CURRICULUM that "draws heavily on the work of Dr. Casey Means"

Actually it’s not that good in coding either apparently the amount of time checking it’s mistakes makes it pretty bad at coding. Only good for simple repetitive tasks! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/o...

Randall on Mississippi: "One of the perpetrators of that fraud? Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre, who received $1.1m from the govt for speeches he never made. Congressional Republicans' response was to invite Favre to testify about how we should strengthen oversight of federal welfare programs."

Yep. A lesson to PhD students and vivas. Admit when something is pointed out to you, and you hadn't thought about it or got it wrong. But if the examiners have some point you fundamentally disagree with, stand your ground. Offer to better clarify it, but don't concede when you're right.
