Basically a softball for Dems, easy for them to yell about and stay on message. Which reminds me: Dems should pass a million Congressional Review Act resolutions on Trump's numerous terrible regulatory actions. Can't even be filibustered. Make Republicans vote against them. Make Trump veto them.

The SEC is proposing to eliminate a rule that restricts investment advisers from using political contributions to influence who wins contracts to manage public retirement funds. bit.ly/3WoZAZW

"The same principles apply in Jaffa as in Louisiana or Vermont, New York, Chicago, or San Francisco: no one should be detained for journalism, or held on evidence they cannot see."

Representatives-Elect Brad Lander, Daniel Biss and Scott Weiner have sent a letter to the Israeli ambassador demanding the "immediate release" of 48-Palestinian journalist Abed Abu Shehadeh. 48-Palestinians are second-class citizens of Israel who are subject to systematic discrimination.

November 6, 2026 His Excellency Yechiel Leiter Ambassador of the State of Israel to the United States Embassy of Israel 3514 International Drive NW Washington, DC 20008 Dear Ambassador Leiter, We write as incoming Jewish Members of the United States Congress, who care deeply for Israel and its democracy, elected by our constituents on Tuesday, November 3, to call for the immediate release of Abed Abu Shehadeh, a Palestinian joumalist, political analyst, and citizen of Israel who was detained at his home in Jaffa that very same night. According to press reports, some fifteen masked Israel Police and Shin Bet officers entered Mr. Abu Shehadeh's home late Tuesday, searched it, and took him into custody. On Wednesday, a court extended his detention through Sunday on suspicion of contact with a foreign agent, after reviewing secret evidence that has not been shared with his attorneys. The allegations against him remain sealed. Lawyers from Adalah who represented him in court this week report that interrogators questioned him about a single subject: a podcast interview he recently conducted with Azmi Bishara, a public figure whom Mr. Abu Shehadeh had interviewed before, without any warning from the authorities. Mr. Abu Shehadeh is a journalist. He serves on the editorial board of Arab48, hosts the Arabic-language news podcast Al-Midan, and has written in English for Al Jazeera, +972 Magazine, and other outlets. He is also the elected chair of the Islamic Council in Jaffa Interviewing political figures - including controversial ones - is the core work of journalism in a free society. Detaining a reporter for conducting an interview is the kind of act that representatives in democracies rightly condemn when governments commit it. These protections are not only a matter of shared values among allies; they are obligations Israel has accepted under international law, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which Israel ratified in 1991. These obliga…

Americans moved to Mexico en masse, seceded from Mexico, joined the US, and a century and a half later Republicans are like "what are all these Hispanic people doing here, it must be The Great Replacement."

Six immigrants inside the Tacoma, Wa. GEO Group detention camp have started the 22nd hunger strike of the year to call out the repeated abuse and inhuman conditions they're facing every day. Their demands: respect due process, end abuses, shut down all detention camps, abolish ICE.

This is not about party politics. This is about a trillionaire who made it his life's mission to kill poor and brown people by taking away lifesaving aid, to make the world unsafe for trans folks, and to install fascist governments. Olive branch my ass. Fuck him and his enablers. Now and forever.

has the New York Times announced the roster of new progressive columnists they're bringing on board, the restructuring and creation of new verticals, and other dramatic steps they're taking to reflect the Real America they didn't properly understand or nah?

Once they get the gavels, Democrats need to investigate the alleged criminal conduct of Judge Emil Bove shortly before his lifetime appointment to the 3rd Circuit. These are highly credible charges of egregious corruption and law-breaking. Bove’s robes shouldn’t shield him from legal consequences.
