WATCH: Barack Obama just surprised an entire aircraft full of veterans on Veterans Day.

These South Korean workers came to the US to build an EV battery plant. They left in shackles. They still want to know why ICE agents raided, arrested workers at a Georgia battery factory in September.

In September, federal agents swarmed a Hyundai manufacturing site, detaining more than 500 workers, including more than 300 from South Korea.

Now, nearly 200 detainees are preparing to sue ICE, alleging human rights violations and unlawful arrest.

NBC News headline: Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds.

And just like that, a newly emboldened GOP adds a poison pill to likely tank ACA subsidies. I feel like we’re living through the national equivalent of a home invasion, only rather than defending ourselves, we unlock the door because we worry the invaders might hurt themselves trying to kick it in…

On Veterans Day, as we honor Americans who served, two FACTS about all of our Commanders in Chief:

📌 14 presidents did not serve in our military.

📌 ONLY one president, according to four-star Gen. John Kelly, Trump's former chief of staff, called those who did "losers" and "suckers".

Raw Story: Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes announced he was relaunching the right-wing militia group in hopes that Trump would press them into duty.

This should be fine.

A tweet from J.J. Abbott (@jjabbott) says: “Narrator: He did not fight.” It quotes a 2022 tweet from John Fetterman (@JohnFetterman) that reads: “Health care is a basic, fundamental human right. I will fight for health care like the health care that saved my life. #PASenateDebate.”

In terms of big disappointments, he gets honorable Manchin.

Trump’s America.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

This week, our friends at @revealnews.org sit down with the reporters from @mississippitoday.org and @nytimes.com, who revealed their reign of terror.

Today I wrote about the Trump’s latest effort to pardon his election denier henchmen. While we may be focused on the shutdown, Trump continues to subvert democracy and target free and fair elections. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to expose just this. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

All the U.S. military strikes against alleged drug boats The U.S. military has killed dozens of people in targeted strikes on small vessels in waters off South America since early September.

To date, the Trump administration has acknowledged at least 19 strikes against boats suspected of transporting narcotics, killing more than 75 people.

The language of this pardon is extremely broad.

It includes “all United States citizens for conduct relating to the advice, creation, organization, execution, submission, support, voting, activities, participation in, or advocacy for or of any slate or proposed slate of Presidential
electors…”

YouTube video by Lawyer Oyer Trump’s mass pardon of election deniers

Trump’s sham Pardon Attorney, Ed Martin, announced a mass pardon of at least 77 people involved in efforts to overthrow the 2020 election results. This is another unprecedented and extremely dangerous use of the pardon power. Please watch and share. youtube.com/shorts/cHkqw...

So Mike Johnson won't commit on bringing up the healthcare subsidies if they're brought up.

Got it. Do you hear it now? All this for nothing!

A TERRIFIC READ!

Orbán counts on Trump going full Argentina to save him from election doom The specter of Washington throwing a financial lifeline to save its ally in Budapest echoes another controversial White House gambit.

Trump helping Orbán makes perfect sense if his goal is to turn the US into Hungary 2.0. Orbán's government gutted the courts, muzzled the press, took over universities, and crushed civil society.

Trump is not confused here. He is admiring the blueprint.

The 8 Senate Dems that caved. None are up for re-election in 2026, two are retiring and the rest are betting that we Dems forget their capitulation. IMO, these 8 were hand picked by Dem Senate leadership. Either Shumer can't control his caucus or he hand picked them. Either way, Shumer has to GO!!

This was too stupid of a “deal” to have been real. Since when does the party of starvation, disappearing humans, and imploding the national healthcare system keep “deals?”

Never. This IS the art of their dealings.

Complicit or idiocy - they really screwed the whole country.

Prominent Afrikaners refuse to be 'pawns,' and hit back at Trump's claims about South Africa Prominent Afrikaners are pushing back after President Trump announced no U.S. officials will attend the G20 in Johannesburg, rejecting his claims of "white persecution" in South Africa as false and politically driven.

Trump threatens to 'pay back' $2 trillion if Supreme Court rules against tariffs President Donald Trump warned that there would be a $2 trillion "catastrophe" if the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against his ability to impose emergency tariffs, despite having collected only around $100...

Well this is rich. So far we've collected about $100 billion in tariff revenue from US businesses, but Trump is claiming if SCOTUS doesn't side with him we'll go bankrupt from having to pay back $2 trillion to the other countries that supposedly paid these tariffs.

The US Supreme Court has acted like it's one of Kim Davis's many husbands and kicked the "Marriage is Sacred, Y'all!!!" hypocrite to the curb. Glory!

Medicare 4 all.

Why should we pay all that money to insurance companies who deny us coverage and make medical decisions based on company profits? We pay more for less.
