RADIO HOST @oldmanebro27.bsky.social : “Your boy Trump was on 60 Minutes Cuomo saying you’re his guy!”

CUOMO: *HANGS UP*🤔

As Democrats have said for 3 weeks, despite the shutdown, Trump had the money for SNAP all along.

He chose not to feed the poor and used the shutdown as pretext. If he hadn't held SNAP hostage, there would not have been a funding delay, and 42M people would not be going hungry.

My premise, starting w Duffy being named to this job and confirmed by every utterance or action since then, is that he knows nothing about aviation.

Would be like appointing me to judge the world lumberjack championships. (At which Duffy was the speed-climbing winner, in 1994.)

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: Trump sending DOJ poll monitors "is a preview of 2026. But here's what we've done... We raised a little more money to make sure we have a legal defense team, a rapid response team, that we're monitoring the monitors."

Ouch! ... That's the way to bring it!👏🏼

On Friday night, Donald Trump held a Great Gatsby-inspired Halloween party themed "A little party never killed nobody.”

On Monday morning, the Trump administration told a judge it will only PARTIALLY fund SNAP and 40 million Americans should expect delays for food benefits.

Cameras out, America. Get it all on video.

Newsom: They did not expect California. They did not expect all of you. They thought we were going to write an op-ed, have a candlelight vigil, maybe do a rally. They poked the bear and the bear is poking back

Trump’s approval rating hit a new low—37%—while 63% now disapprove of his presidency.

A majority of Americans say he’s abusing power: 61% believe he’s overreached with executive authority, and 57% say his deportation campaign has gone too far.

The backlash is building 💪

Not true.

The last time the House voted was September 19th.

Republicans have been on vacation for 45 days.

Do your job, Mike—work with Democrats to re-open the government.

Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

Government shutdown threatens to delay home heating aid for millions of low-income families Millions of low-income families may face delays in receiving home heating aid due to the ongoing federal government shutdown

You will freeze, you will starve, and they will have lavish parties in Trump’s ballroom. Trump despises you. https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/government-shutdown-threatens-delay-home-heating-aid-millions-127104760

YouTube video by 60 Minutes President Donald Trump's extended 60 Minutes interview

Oh my dog, the UNedited version of His Magasty's interview is a horror show. He's a fucking moron. He's senile. He's a piss-frosted disaster. Shame on CBS for cleaning this up.

Trump energy secretary says no nuclear explosions for now After the president called for resuming nuclear testing “immediately,” the official said the administration is planning only system tests. Updated November 2, 2025 at 8:16 p.m. EST

Trump’s Energy Secretary confirms what we suspected: Trump had no idea what he was talking about when he called for nuclear tests. Is Trump the guy we want controlling the US nuclear arsenal?

When immigration agents hide, body camera footage is vital Plus: The case for making public records-based reporting free

A federal judge told the top Border Protection official to start wearing his body camera this week.

We should FOIA that footage now.

I’m in Florida this morning to take this health care fight directly to people most affected.

Nearly 1 in 3 Americans in Florida with ACA coverage could lose their health insurance because of Donald Trump and Republicans' cuts.

US accused of threatening EU diplomats during bid to kill green shipping rules Negotiators at shipping talks in London were told both they and their countries could be punished unless they voted with the U.S.

European negotiators were personally targeted by their American counterparts during a brutal negotiation over green shipping rules, European Commission officials told POLITICO. 

This highly unusual gambit left diplomats shaken after the meeting. 

“At least one other religious leader, Muslim hospital chaplain Ayman Soliman, had been detained earlier by ICE as part of President Donald Trump’s ongoing mass deportation effort. Soliman was detained in July and held for weeks before being released in September.”

There is American blood on battlefields to protect the right to a free and fair vote. Intimidation like this spits on their sacrifice. It's about as anti-American as you can get.

Justice Barrett’s Campaign Biography Amy Coney Barrett’s book, "Listening to the Law," claims the Supreme Court is above politics. Its very existence proves otherwise.

BREAKING NEWS: National Guard deployment remains paused until Friday; judge says deployment is likely unlawful.

A federal judge just issued a preliminary injunction until 5pm Friday 11/7, in order to take additional time to weigh the evidence presented at trial this week. The judge indicated in the order, based on her initial review of the evidence, that deployment of National Guard troops in Portland is likely unlawful. This means that the National Guard still cannot be deployed to Oregon.

“Today’s ruling is a step toward truth and accountability. From the beginning, this case has been about making sure the facts—not the President’s political whims—guide how the law is applied. We’re grateful the court is taking the time to get it right, and we’ll keep doing everything we can to protect Oregon’s ability to govern itself and keep our communities safe.”

For now, the National Guard still cannot be deployed to Oregon. We anticipate a final ruling from the judge by Friday. We’ll continue to share updates as we have them.

This is quite a story: the US employed every strongarm tactic available, including personal threats against delegates and their families, to derail an agreement on reducing shipping emissions that was almost finalized. on.ft.com/47lq3dZ

🚨BALLROOM CORRUPTION ALERT🚨

Palantir has received more than $800 million in government contracts in 2025, which is more than any previous year.

The company's donation to Trump's ballroom was a corrupt "thank you" to a corrupt Trump administration.

Everyone who follows the news already knows where this is headed.

Orwell. A police state. An authoritarian regime that disappears people—including citizens. Think Pinochet as a starting point.

The problem is that those who don't follow the news *don't* know where this is headed. We must tell them.
