NEW from me: I think this is the perfect time to use Rachel Maddow’s oft-repeated phrase - ‘watch what they do- not what they say.’ Ignore Ellison's PR pitch, but look at what's happening at CBS News including directing reporters to add “facts” that did not exist. open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

David Ellison can’t be trusted with CNN

We've already seen how Ellison has wrecked CBS. Don't fall for his PR push on CNN.

Folks from the Women's March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE.

The fact that the Democratic senators are agreeing to a continuing resolution until Dec 11th with NO compromises for them is absolute political malpractice and head scratching. Why not even try to ban like…. The arch? Anything!

A second man, Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, has died at Delaney Hall, the inhumane ICE detention center run by private prison contractor GEO Group. GEO Group’s profits have soared by over 700% since Trump has been back in office. Imagine profiting from death and suffering. Deplorable.

Bill Nye knew.

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

Jeezus f**king Christ... In essence that ruling says that any time your side doesn't win an election, just ransack the capitol, and everything will be okay...

SCIENCE MINUTE: Hard-boiled egg vacuum.  Science is powered by people. If we don't invest in research, we risk losing talented scientists to other countries. That sucks ... eggs.

Almost two dozen Democratic-led states asked the U.S. Supreme Court Monday to uphold a block on President Donald Trump’s sweeping attack on mail voting, saying it poses “extraordinary threats to our democracy.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Blue states urge Supreme Court to uphold block on Trump’s anti-mail voting order

Nature almost always has an Answer to a Problem….

Fossil fuel industries get an estimated 7 trillion in subsidies. We are paying for our own mass death and destruction.

I Remember, Hope you do….

We’ve been saying this for a while now many of the people being targeted are just fishermen. Evidence now supports that the United States has killed individuals who were not involved in drug trafficking during its “counternarcotics interdiction operations” in the Caribbean and Pacific.

NEW: Two government watchdog groups have demanded an investigation into whether FCC officials violated ethics requirements by accepting luxury gala tickets from Paramount as it sought federal approval for its $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros.

Todd Blanche’s nomination to formally lead the Department of Justice appears to be back on track after two Republican holdouts signed off on a deal giving President Donald Trump and his family immunity from Internal Revenue Service audits. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

We vote “by mail“ in every election. We get our ballots in the mail. We do our research. I take them to a secure drop box. Please. Verify that your registered address is correct/current and that you are active in the system. Fix anything before November. Love you all. Stay Blue. 🇺🇸💙

It's all about priorities. The tech bros gave politicians a lot of money.

The lazy sociopath who golfs instead of working (on, say, a plan to win a war with Iran) wants terminally ill patients to work for benefits they’re entitled to.

NAVALNY: “I am against this war in 🇺🇦 — I consider it immoral, fratricidal, criminal. It has been started by the Kremlin gang to make it easier for them to steal. They are killing so they can thieve.” Sound familiar, Americans?

So Tillis and Cornyn’s position is that the slush fund and IRS immunity is disgusting, illegal, immoral, and unethical but they are willing to confirm the man who agreed to it as Attorney General of the United States as long as he takes it back.

What kind of country does this to children?
