What an incredible night last night. To see the resistance against populism triumph in two such different countries, in two such different ways.

Obama, in Ohio, assails 'cruelty' and indecency from Trump and his allies in the midterm campaign

Former President Barack Obama blamed the Trump administration's "chaos and cruelty and corruption and incompetence" for voter frustrations as he spoke at a campaign rally in Cleveland. Democrats' "closer-in-chief" is set to rally in Detroit shortly. Follow live updates: https://cnn.it/4zP9EJY

What does Jared Kushner actually do with all that Saudi oil-dictator cash? After Trump hyped a massive gas plant and Amazon data center in tiny Homer City, Pa., Kushner and his Arab money bought into the project It's a climate disaster My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/hype...

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

In 2020, Jared Kushner was senior advisor to the president of the United States, a full-time employee of the United States government, and was subject to numerous disclosure requirements and ethical restrictions under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978.

Three-byline alert: 🚨 “.. Last week, Musk capped the speeds at which Ukrainian hardware could stay connected to the satellite-based network .. .. One of the people also claimed Musk and Trump discussed the matter prior to the decision ..” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

Some content back up BUT NO administrative access for No Kings organizers Does Meta not think we are paying attention? Pro-democracy state AG's, legislatures & regulators should be all over investigating this--& so should a new pro-democracy Congress THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

The first subpoena from the new Democratic Congress should be to Mark Zuckerberg, for taking down the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of one of the largest days of civic activism in American history. No Kings. No Courtiers.

(THR) - TikTok has banned the entire Musk film account, citing political content that violates its policies. .. raises concerns about Big Tech suppression that the very film seeks to expose.” @thr.com www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

They said I shouldn't bother going to the Upper Peninsula. That it's Trump country, can't be won. Well, Escanaba would like a word!

Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICE has illegally broken into homes w/ battering rams, pointed guns at children, & needlessly put lives in danger. These weren't accidents by poorly trained officers. A secret memo told ICE to search homes without a warrant. These are blatant Fourth Amendment violations. We're suing. ⬇️

Last month, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management announced its plans to quadruple the amount of logging that could happen in the forests it manages. Specifically, the agency aims to revise management plans for areas designated as O&C Lands.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

“.. It was the first time Evans could recall state investigators with jurisdiction over a crime scene being denied access by federal officers. ‘We’re in uncharted territory here,’ he said.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/us-news/poli...

I am overwhelmed & exhausted by the amount of press we've gotten over this but also determined to continue speaking loudly against Trump's reign of cruelty & retribution. #AbolishICE

McBride: Look, people are clutching their pearls at this guy yelling something at the president. They are more offended by a worker standing up to the president and calling him out for his hypocrisy than they are by the president trying to cover up for a human trafficking ring

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski: “After speaking with Chair Powell this morning, it’s clear the administration’s investigation is nothing more than an attempt at coercion.“

A YouGov poll taken on the same day as Renee Good’s killing in Minneapolis shows a majority of people do not approve of how ICE is handling its job.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

“Donald Trump is destroying America bit by bit with his staff of wannabes," the two-time Grammy winner wrote.

As it happens, pretty much all of them are on my House Dem fundraising page, FWIW... secure.actblue.com/donate/house...

Here's the 38 House Republicans who won by less than 15 points *and* whose districts Trump won by less than 15 points (or lost, in a few cases), via @the-downballot.com. Only 13 of them vote to extend the enhanced #ACA tax credits. The other 25 all voted NO.

Moskowitz on Noem: "Is she hiding her face like her ICE agents now? By the way - is this what the $800b went to? Every day we see her after some new tragedy, she's wearing a different outfit with a different hat. She looks ridiculous. She deserves to be removed from her job, & if not impeached."

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

After the killing of Ms Good, Greg Bovino of the CPB led a raid on a Minneapolis HS. An official there said: They don’t care. They’re just animals,” I’ve never seen people behave like this.” All MPLS schools now closed for the week. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.

The video shows that the driver of the vehicle turned her wheels to avoid the ICE agents who surrounded her, screamed profanity at her, and gave her conflicting orders. They escalated the situation, put the public in danger, killed her without justification, and kept firing at her.

OUT: Helping you pay for health care. IN: Helping oil companies pay for their infrastructure in a foreign country.

Republican math: Can afford: bombing and “running”Venezuela Can’t afford: universal healthcare, food stamps, and childcare.

"I'm not going to start a war, I'll stop wars." -- Donald J. Trump, lying on the campaign trail in 2024

L'Etat, c'est moi. That's where we are now. Trump acting like MBS, Putin, a monarch, where he and his family are enriching themselves by acquire/occupy/seize/rule/exploit Gaza, Venezuela, Greenland and what the f-ck Witkoff and Kushner are negotiating with Putin.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

Tulsi Gabbard in 2019: "The United States needs to keep our hands off Venezuela... end these destructive and wasteful regime change wars... proven to cause more problems, increase suffering, increase instability for the people in the countries where we wage these wars. In Latin America especially".

Here is the editor of Tablet agreeably reposting someone calling nonwhite NYC immigrants "worthless biotrash." It's astonishing how quickly this stuff has escaped containment

If you're in or around NYC, this beautiful dog desperately needs a home. I guarantee he will make your hard days bearable and your best days better. Please consider adopting, so he doesn't have to suffer in this kennel. This account also has some other great soon-to-be best friends in NYC
