Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Epstein’s journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

“…two showboats trying to out-detail each other, with maudlin prose dissecting a relationship that’s portrayed as tortured, but was really just between two careless narcissists.” Marisa with (let it be) the last word:

Wow: Per Hamdi's legal team, his only charge was a visa overstay — after Trump revoked his visa.

Despite DHS tweeting that Hamdi supported terrorism, they never charged him with any criminality.

In other words: Trump revoked a journalist's visa, so agents could arrest him for overstaying his visa.

They all deserve scorn. But given the hell the administration has been putting Chicago through, Durbin's capitulation is especially enraging and unforgivable.

Define "working," Senator. In this context, I think we have a different understanding of what that word means. And yours is wrong.

So, Senate Dems are basically telling people they sacrificed and suffered without paychecks or food security for *checks notes* absolutely NOTHING. And as a bonus, their healthcare premiums will be astronomical next year. Got it. Great job everyone.

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.

Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

I will not only blame the Senate Democrats who are caving. I will blame them all. They needed to keep their ranks in order. If this happens, it's the most spineless political retreat imaginable and it will harm millions upon millions of Americans. Chickenshit, self-neutering nonsense. Cowards.

Your right to vote free of intimidation by federal, state or local officials

Ways to report voter intimidation to Election Protection Hotline

You may have heard that the Trump Administration is sending federal agents to a few California counties to monitor the Prop 50 election.

Let us be clear. It is illegal for anyone to attempt to stop you from exercising your constitutional right to vote if you are a U.S. citizen.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

“there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.”

On November 1, the Department of Agriculture stopped administering SNAP to states. Alameda County has stepped up to fund food assistance programs while courts rule on the issue. (1/3)

On Teen Vogue: It's an amazing publication full of talented journalists. It offers so much value. It's clear the monied interests in media aren't interested in preserving that value, especially if it threatens the status quo that undergirds their wealth. Capitalism and journalism are enemies.

"It's a rich man's game, no matter what they call it."

Some things haven't changed in 45 years. 😒

By “you” I mean most MSM outlets, business leaders, voters who couldn’t be bothered to figure out the actual two sides, those looking for an excuse to vote against Harris, those performing principle by not voting, and everyone who voted for someone they know is vile and racist.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

NEW: The full Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has agreed to rehear arguments on whether to block President Trump from taking control of 200 Oregon National Guard troops.

This is good news. Military troops have no place on our streets.

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

Trump plans to install Border Patrol officials to lead a more aggressive migrant crackdown The White House has approved a list of ICE leaders to be replaced by Border Patrol officials in coming days amid disappointment with arrest numbers.

NBC has a story on this as well already, and they've got an indicative quote as to how things will go:

"'The mentality is CBP does what they’re told, and the administration thinks ICE isn’t getting the job done,;' one of the DHS officials said. 'So CBP will do it." www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Bay Area Advocates Head to Court to Halt Trump Administration’s Immigration Policies | KQED Recent lawsuits blast the Trump administration for its aggressive enforcement, arguing that asylum seekers and crime victims are among those targeted.

If DHS concludes immigrants aren’t dangerous or a flight risk, they can remain free while their immigration case proceeds if they comply with their conditions of release.
For decades, this was how the system worked.
In May, ICE abruptly began arresting people without legal justification. We sued.

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.”

The surge of federal immigration agents to the Bay Area and threats to send the National Guard to SF are flagrant abuses of power intended to instill fear, target political opponents, and chill dissent.

We all have constitutional rights when interacting with federal agents. Know your rights:👇🏾
