NEW FOIA Files newsletter is out! ‘This is Not a Drill.’ How the Peace Corps Prepared for a DOGE Visit The agency spent two months running through training exercises leading up to DOGE’s arrival in April, according to emails I obtained via #FOIA www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

“With so many marginalized communities, we’re basically the oracles…we’re the ones who see shit before it happens.” In June 2020, I interviewed Alice Wong for TVU before she lost her ability to speak. I asked her how she’d first learned of SARS-CoV-2. She began with the 2016 election of Trump:

The current Occupant of the White House is a sewer dwelling scum of the earth scared loser who is lashing out. @RepThomasMassie wife died last year. Congratulations to him on his new marriage. It is clear President Dump is afraid of what is coming.

For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

Congress just killed the 28 billion dollar THC and hemp market. Alcohol lobbyists getting their money’s worth.

NEW this morning, from @premthakker.bsky.social and me for @zeteo.com zeteo.com/p/trump-epst...

@muellershewrote.com as a reminder to your readers, his comment is about Massie’s wife who died in June.

He’s gone after Massie and MTG tonight. Are Mace and Boebert next?

Too few people are talking about the fact that for eight years (2011-2019), while Jeffrey Epstein was raping young girls and trafficking them to hundreds of other rapists from his home base in Palm Beach, Florida, the Florida district attorney was Pam Bondi. Connect the dots.

When we talk about Jeffrey Epstein, we must keep Ghislaine Maxwell’s name in the discourse because she's just as culpable as Epstein. My latest on Maxwell’s attempt to commute her sentence, the VIP treatment she's getting in prison, & why Todd Blanche is the worst lawyer. youtu.be/66hLS4DU9bw?...

1993 - President Bill Clinton traveled to Memphis to address 5,000 Black ministers at the national headquarters of the Church of God in Christ.

1985 – New York Mets pitcher, Dwight Gooden, 20, won the Cy Young Award making him the youngest pitcher ever to win the prestigous award.

Nov. 13: So sorry this is a day late. Working overtime is killing me and I fell aleep before putting this out.

Capitol rioter/Proud Boy/all around weird guy Terry Newsome and some other known right-wing agitators have been spotted. This is another regular occurrence—as the crowd thins, they screw up the courage to enter.

This is how to do faith. Kudos.

As Trump shows off his golden Oval Office and gilded ballroom, his Administration is planning to force 170,000 Americans, including 3,800 people in Massachusetts, out of their homes — many of them elderly and disabled. The cruelty is the point.

A US citizen was assaulted and kidnapped by ICE in Webster, Texas on November 12, 2025, after filming an goon with their mask down.

Anyhoo, here's a paper about "the centrality of housing concerns in facilitating the Holocaust and the complicity of individuals in the exclusion of Jews for economic, ideological, and geographic reasons." journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

More and more Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Do not forget that instead of working with Democrats to address affordability, Republicans spent 54 days on vacation.

My daughter is 15, a child with a baby face whom I won’t even put in an Uber by herself. Just utterly disgusting from the same people who have spent years demonizing trans people as predators for daring even to exist. What are we even doing right now?

Deeply unsettling read!

An ICE agent carrying an AR-15 stole a U.S. citizen’s car keys and wallet, then abandoned her vehicle in the middle of Portland Road NE and Ward Drive NE in Salem, Oregon.

"U.S. Navy Veteran Rep. @ElaineLuriaVA Hauls in $500,000 in 24 Hours Since Launching Campaign" (Also, the campaign announces that VA Senate President Pro Tem Louise Lucas, as well as former candidate Mike Williamson, have endorsed Luria) bluevirginia.us/2025/11/u-s-...

A fed directly aimed his gun at an unarmed woman in Santa Ana on Sunday, continuing ICE's violent tirade against L.A. residents. The full story: lataco.com/ice-gun-aime... By Izzy Ramirez

There are four leaks to plug for Trump: the survivors, Ghislaine Maxwell, the Epstein Estate, and the 1000+ FBI and DoJ employees he locked in a building and forced to remove his name from the files. Good luck, asshole.

The situation in the Situation Room being the presidential pedophilia coverup. And let’s not be silly — the Situation Room is not some kind of inviolable holy space.

There is a very good reason why the thing I say most consistently about situations like this is "the violent rhetoric policy is my least favorite policy to write and enforce, and the policy that creates the most upheaval among the userbase when it is applied"!

This article is utterly damning for the New York Times and also for Vanity Fair and ABC, whose editorial teams were apparently intimidated into silence by a mix of legal and violent threats. Virginia Giuffre did not stand a chance against all this.

This is why I’m a Steph head

Go, Mama!!!

No surprise here: Conservative Problem Solvers Caucus Democrats exist to undermine the Dem Party in the name of “bipartisanship,” to advance a GOP agenda. Notice how they never get Republican Problem Solvers to cross the aisle for Democratic priorities.

If you're watching people dig into the newly-released Jeffrey Epstein documents, but you are sure where they are coming from? They're from here: oversight.house.gov/release/over...

After FIFTY days, @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social has finally been sworn in as a Member of Congress. I had the honor of serving as Vice Ranking Member to her father, Raúl. It will be an honor to serve alongside her too. We’re now at 218 signatures. Release the damn files!

- illegal killings of dudes in boats on the high seas - he is in profound physical and cognitive decline, often appears confused and frequently confabulates - high likelihood he is compromised by a hostile foreign power, or hostile foreign powers

- abandonment of Ukraine and our European allies, appeasement of Putin - starving Americans to gain leverage in Hill negotiations - killing of 15 million of poorest people in the world thru vaporizing of USAID - weaponozing DOJ to pursue his political opponents - use of Marines against Americans

Growing list of reasons Trump should step down: - Cover up of his involvement in notorious sex trafficking ring - Unprecedented corruption, self enrichment - Tariffs are historic, unprecedented abuse of power - Illegal desecration of most important global symbol of American democracy

DOJ drafts legal opinion backing immunity for US troops involved in boat strikes, sources say reut.rs/47ElDz8

This headline is journalistic malpractice. This isn't Epstein "alleging" that Trump knew. This is Epstein and Maxwell discussing - in 2011, long before Trump had political salience - how the FACT that Trump knew might play out Both of them took as a given that this was a fact in a private email

Epstein: “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump..[VICITM] spent hours at my house with him, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75 % there.” Maxwell: “I’ve been thinking about that.” 💥 www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

NEW: 2020 footage said to be in 2025. A neighbor who keeps reappearing in the same clip, said to be on different days & months. A broadcast from elsewhere suggested as Portland. How Fox News misled its viewership -- which may have included the president. www.propublica.org/article/port...

It’s happening!!!

“Are you still talking about Epstein?” Trump keeps asking. Epstein is a “dead issue”, he says. The man stays dead but his issue is very much alive. That is because the system that protected Epstein has still not been held to account." My column. on.ft.com/43p8IhQ

Excellent by @jamellebouie.net. "There are still too many Democrats whose instinct is to retreat to normalcy rather than face the conflict at hand." (Which also describes The Times; Bouie is the welcome exception.) Gift. Democrats Are Teaching Trump the Wrong Lesson www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/o...
