House Democrats press DOJ for details on Epstein co-conspirators probe that was "inexplicably killed" Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein provided the Justice Department with "precise and detailed" information about 20 alleged co-conspirators, House Democrats say.

Biden didn’t release the Epstein files because Merrick Garland was actively investigating Epstein/Maxwell co-conspirators all the way up until January 2025. Then Trump shuttered the probe. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

If my 7-year-old engaged in this sort of bigotry and name calling I would expect to find myself in a parent-teacher conference by tomorrow afternoon. Meanwhile, the White House Press Secretary is out here on national television, living her best life

"Also amazing are pancakes, folks. A new word nobody has ever heard. I came up with it. They're like cakes but from a pan. I call them pancakes. Christians too. Adopting to pancakes. Very big stuff. Ballroom. Huge. And some say flarpnozzle bing. Bingidy bangidy. So sad. Flurp."

"don't worry, he's just into 15-year-olds" perhaps not as exculpatory as you think
Also 15-year-olds are not "barely legal." They are minors.

This is a core element of conservative philosophy: If a single "undeserving" person is getting a government benefit, the answer is to take it away from millions.*

Hi. Hello.

Founder and CEO of @standupforscience.bsky.social

I can confirm, that is not “science in its best form”…because that’s politics. Not science.

McGovern: He would rather appeal to the highest court in the land to starve people than simply provide them with the food assistance that he is legally obligated to do. That is the Republican policy position. We will give you your food if you let us take away your health care.

McGovern: He says food prices are way down. That's coming from a guy dines on caviar at mar-a-lago. He's never shopped for groceries a day in his life. He doesn't have to pick between plastic or paper.

Clark: So what are we doing here today? You have already voted to dismantle medicaid, the largest health care program in America. A program that covers 40% of all births in this country. 40% of children in this country. 40% of disabled people in this country.

Wow. This analogy for how no one ever seems to hold Trump accountable for his constant lying. Perfectly stated.

Italian Pasta Is Poised to Disappear From American Grocery Shelves The Trump administration is set to impose duties of 107% on Italian pasta imports, among most punitive of the tariffs it has levied.

now they've done it www.wsj.com/world/europe...

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

KENTUCKY’S @govandybeshear.bsky.social : “Trump doesn’t help himself saying groceries are less expensive when consumers know they aren’t… @GovBillLee and other Republican governors are putting loyalty to Trump & party before their duty to their people.” 🎯

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Prices since Trump took office:

-Groceries: ⬆️ 2.7%
-Utilities: ⬆️ 11%
-ACA premiums: ⬆️ 26%
-Overall consumer prices: ⬆️ 3%

Trump: “I don't want to hear about the affordability.”

Bessent shamelessly lies: "Inflation came down in April for the first time in four years under President Trump...Walmart came out yesterday and said the Thanksgiving meal is 25% less." (Inflation fell steadily in the last two years of the Biden administration and Walmart is making the meals smaller)

New York Times headline from December 13,2000: "Bush Prevails: By Single Vote, Justices End Recount, Blocking Gore After 5-Week Struggle"

25 years ago today: the most consequential presidential election of my lifetime. 36 days later, it was effectively decided by the Supreme Court. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who voted with the majority, would later she regretted that the court accepted the case.

And he just stands there...

Foreign Food Safety Inspections Hit Historic Low After Trump Cuts The dramatic shift in oversight comes at a time when the U.S. has never been more reliant on foreign food, which accounts for the vast majority of the nation’s seafood and more than half its fresh fruit.

NEW: Foreign food safety inspections have hit a historic low after Trump staffing cuts. The dramatic shift in oversight comes as the U.S. has never been more reliant on foreign food.

“It’s only a matter of time before people die,” one expert said.

This should get a Pulitzer. It's going to be an all-time classic.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC

I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

BREAKING:

A federal judge finds the Trump admin "did not comply" with his order to fund SNAP benefits.

Judge John McConnell has verbally ordered the admin to *fully fund* SNAP benefits for the month of November — by tomorrow.
