Grijalva’s arrival does more than narrow the already razor-thin Republican majority. Liz Stein and Jessica Michaels, survivors of Epstein’s abuse, watched from the House gallery, along with Grijalva’s family.

With this dump of documents, can the GOP leadership say that the discharge petition is moot?

Does Johnson have a way to negate the vote even with the 218 signature?

The amount of documents released suggest that there is nothing that damaging to Trump or that they are hiding something like a needle in a haystack. What is the likely timeframe for a review of all the information provided today?

In the House GOP released documents, was anything redacted or highlighted?

Missing sequential pages or data?

Timing is suspicious given that Caroline Leavitt was prepared for questions on the release. Was this plan B after Grijalva won her seat?

And most recently Trump’s EO requiring federal agencies to eliminate at least one-third of their advisory committees.

Sagan viewed education as a crucial tool for fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and scientific literacy in a democracy.

That’s antithetical to republican religious politics

Carl Sagan predicted the future of America. The dumbing down of America has largely been part of a Republican agenda.

Nixon abolished the PSAC and the Office of Science and Technology.

The OTA, which provided science and technology analysis to Congress, was closed in 1995.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

UPDATE: A spokesman for Arizona AG Kris Mayes says Trump's pardons "will have no impact" on how she decides to pursue her ongoing criminal case against Trump's allies in the 2020 election effort. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

It gave us the great Disco Elysium Vance video:

I can’t help but feel that Miami has wasted their best talents from Marino forwards. Thee have been nothing more than a wild card contender for decades. Even draft season I have hope that slowly vanishes with each game.

Screen grab of 2024 US school shooting stats and map showing where the shootings happened. Marks on map correspond to the number of people killed or injured. Injuries & Deaths 38 School shootings with injuries or deaths. 69 People killed or injured in a school shooting 16 People killed

If there were 38 shootings that injure or kill a CEO in 2025 instead of school shootings we would have robust national gun reform before July 4.

You have no idea! Joe Robbie is rolling over in his grave.

All politics is local. A truism in spite of MAGA.

Are Federal Officials Immune From State Prosecution? Contrary to recent assertions, federal officers do not have blanket immunity from criminal prosecutions brought by states.

What state is going to be the first to start the process?

Can you confirm that Israel is filling Palestinians wells as part of their decision to annex the West Bank and essentially stop any 2 state solution?

On top of that it’s being reported that the administration is not complying with record retention laws too. It’s the same as the first time around.

Finally, Something Everyone Agrees On: Data Centers Should Cover Their Own Costs Data centers should pay the cost of their grid connections—but instead, they’re passing those expenses to you.

This should be getting much more MSM coverage than it is.

Layoffs are reaching their highest levels since the pandemic, but America's corporate elite have never been doing better.

Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

When ICE is raiding daycare centers and dragging out teachers in front of of crying, terrified children, it’s not to keep America safe, but an attempt to turn Americans to violence.

labeling laws, defeating an industry-backed influence campaign led by AFIT, a group critics say falsely presented itself as part of Robert F Kennedy’s Maha health movement while pushing policies that would weaken consumer protections and benefit major food companies.

@aaronparnas.bsky.social in his morning news substack noted something that actually surprised me from this administration:

Maha leaders and state legislators successfully pressured Senator Roger Marshall to remove language from a food-safety bill that would have wiped out state toxic-ingredient

This is yet another small sign of how grim things are rn, but I could be wrong but… I do not think the first trump admin at all abided by the back-up your texts including with reporters rule

What, if any, laws govern this and do they carry and jail/fines for violations?

If not, there’s no incentive to follow the law.

Conservative Warning To Judges: Get On Board With Trump's Agenda Or Get Impeached - Above the Law Bold plan for dealing with district court judges floated at the FedSoc Lawyers Convention.

“What’s going to force the Supreme Court to do something is fundamentally political pressure. It’s going to be when Congress starts impeaching judges and saying … ‘You are now encroaching into our territory,’” Mizelle said during at the Federalist Society’s annual...
