I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here.

And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

IDs are mismatched, illegible or still missing 3 weeks after judge’s order to immigration officers In dozens of photographs at four locations, Chicago Sun-Times photojournalists documented federal officers failing to wear the “visible identification” needed to hold individuals accountable during the ongoing immigration “blitz.”

Dozens of photos of uniformed agents shot by Sun-Times photojournalists in four separate locations since the court order show how the feds have fallen short. Judge Ellis on Oct. 9 ordered “visible identification” that is “prominently displayed.” trib.al/U4qJYam

Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

Trump denies grocery prices are up and then says people will be fine because "their 401ks are up." (Nearly half of Americans have no retirement savings)

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People “What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?

great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

Half of Americans say Trump admin is not committed to protecting Americans’ rights and freedoms: Poll Most say Trump isn't committed to protecting freedom of the press, other rights.

People know that Dump is not committed to protecting freedom of the press (61%) or speech (57%), a fair justice system (56%) or free and fair elections (56%). But 73% say he is committed to protecting freedom to own firearms. 🤦‍♀️

RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

Grammarly drove me nuts. It wanted me to correct stuff that didn’t need it and missed stuff that did. Stopped using it and relied on my proofreading skills instead.

AI is creating a bigger need for skilled proofreaders and editors.

2/ This is especially odd given how obsessed both Trump & new CBS news boss Bari Weiss are with transcripts & interview editing... So why don't we see the transcript (& the video) of how the interview began? Hmmm

Editor's note: On October 31, 2025, correspondent Norah O'Donnell spoke with President Donald J. Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, FL, and this is a transcript of that conversation. They started by discussing the president's recent meeting with China's President Xi Jinping.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, first of all, we get along great, and we always really have. We had the COVID moment, which was not-- attractive as far as I was concerned. I wasn't so happy. But outside of that, we have always had a great relationship. He's a powerful man. He's a strong man, a very powerful leader.

HOLD UP. This is not actually a full transcript of the Trump interview on @60minutes.bsky.social. Note how this starts with a description of the question but not the actual question & what about the initial greetings between Norah and Trump, etc? This is not a complete transcript. 1/

I’m lady amazed that the election of 1876 doesn’t get more media attention , new or entertainment. Wild times resulted in Federal troops being withdrawn from the South, smothering Reconstruction and solidifying Jim Crow.

If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.
