Marco Rubio oversaw the “deals” and payoffs and pressure to get tens of thousands of people expelled to countries they’ve never been to, including thousands of Cubans living in Miami. He is at least as responsible as Stephen Miller — maybe moreso — for the ongoing third-country removal disaster.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is reportedly preparing to resign from Donald Trump’s cabinet to launch a bid for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination. www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

Sorry but Jeffries and Schumer are not the people to lead! Jeffries reminds me of Fetterman & Schumer is too old and they were both paid off! If you can’t vote for Medicare for all and disbanding ICE, why are you here?

They could also join the ICC And start signing extradition agreements

It seems Donald Trump was right, the Iran war did achieve regime change. Emilio Bedin, Narre Warren @theageaustralia.bsky.social letters

Abolishing ICE is the floor, the bare fucking minimum. If Jeffries and other "centrist" Dems can't meet this moment, they need to be gone. ICE is a syndicate for institutional hate crimes, and everyone involved must face a punishment so severe that future Nazis won't dare try this shit again.

This is important. Chuck Schumer cannot be the leader of the Senate.  All of the hard work people standing in line cannot be disregarded and sabotage he knows he his ass that’s why he’s been laying low, but he wants to work with Trump  

Defense contractor PACs also backed Jeffries: -Lockheed Martin: $10,000 -Northrop Grumman: $10,000 -Raytheon: $10,000 -Boeing: $10,000 -General Dynamics: $10,000 -L3Harris: $10,000 -BAE Systems: $7,500 -Huntington Ingalls: $6,000 -Leidos and Textron: $5,000 each

These are all 2025–26 contributions to his campaign and joint fundraising committees. We followed the money behind the incoming speaker: readsludge.com/2026/11/04/t...

The Money Behind Hakeem Jeffries

Executives at Anduril and Palantir, crypto industry advocates, and investors giving through AIPAC helped fund the Democratic leader preparing to become speaker.

Newsweek: Cleveland Grover Meredith Jr., a man pardoned by Trump after being charged following the J6 Capitol insurrection has now been charged with making threats to execute federal judges. This comes as a surprise to no one. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

PRECISELY. OR LENIENCE FOR CONFEDERATES

How'd Ford pardoning Nixon work out for you?

This makes me smile, thinking about white supremacist Elon Musk making a big stink about moving to Texas because California is “too blue.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats take control of Texas state House after historic wins for governor, U.S. Senate.

EX-FUCKING-ACTLY

Joy today. Work tomorrow.

To be very clear: NONE of this means we’ve “saved democracy”. It means we have a chance to begin repairing an enormous amount of harm that didn’t begin and will not end with Trump.

"They have gotten me wrong for 12 years, but I don’t care. It doesn’t matter.” It kinda seems like it DOES

Fox hosts squirm as Trump calls in to slam election coverage on live TV Fox News hosts squirmed and struggled to defend the network on Election Night, as President Donald Trump called in and lashed out at their midterm coverage to their faces as he grappled with seismic losses.

Ellison: "Trump demanded we turn on our Somali neighbors, and we said 'no way, never!' He demanded that we turn on our immigrant & refugee neighbors, and we said, 'never!' He demanded that we turn on our trans neighbors, and we said 'absolutely not' ... tonight, we showed up for each other again."

We went from one Black governor to FIVE overnight.

"AI is being shoved down our throats" can mean any of several things. It can mean that our bosses are demanding that we use AI in reckless or nonsensical ways on the job: www.404media.co/manifestos-f...

BREAKING: Mexico closes its border to massive caravans of MAGA Texans demanding asylum.

Now the media is trying to tie tomorrow's stock prices off Dems winning and, presumably, being bad for AI... as if AI's own financial numbers aren't the reason to run away from AI stocks.

The most dangerous time for abuse victims is when they leave. Gonna be a long 2 years if he lives

Democrats in Congress, we have handed you enormous power. We want you to use it—wisely, creatively, decisively, and courageously. Stop Chuck Schumering and go after the bad guys before the damage they do to the country & the world becomes fatal. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

HOLY SHIT!!!

Well done #Iowa We rousted most of our incumbents. Bird, Pate and Naig remain but IT IS A START

Affordability was on the ballot. Corruption was on the ballot. Accountability was on the ballot. Human decency was on the ballot. The fight against a rigged system was on the ballot. Voters responded with a resounding repudiation of the chaos and cruelty this regime has inflicted on our nation.
