When the president says there's virtually no inflation and grocery prices are going down, do you agree with him on that? MTG: “No. I go to the grocery store myself. Grocery prices remain high. Energy prices are high. My electricity bills are higher here in Washington, D.C. at my apartment and they’re also higher at my house in Rome, Georgia, higher than they were a year ago.”
What I find interesting about people being upset over Mamdani's position over Israel is that it's a pretty strongly fundamental Constitutional principle--the separation of church and state. He doesn't think that Israel shouldn't exist. He just thinks that Jewish people shouldn't have more rights than other people in it due to their religion and/or ethnicity. That seems like a pretty American value to me.

SNAP cuts are hurting more than 3.5 million Texans. So Team Talarico volunteers in San Antonio just packed over 16,800 lbs of food at the local food bank — equivalent to 13,480 meals! We will always show up for our neighbors.

A Border Patrol agent appeared to brag about his accuracy after shooting a Chicago woman five times, these messages revealed in court show.

After reviewing extensive testimony and video evidence, Judge Ellis says the use of force during Operation Midway Blitz by DHS officers "shocks the conscience."
Replying to @SeidelContent

Small business owner: After years of growth, my business has ground to a halt because tariffs are driving up my costs. My expenses are 33% higher than last year, squeezing my margins dramatically. The government shutdown is making everything harder. Many of my customers are federal employees who do not know when they might be paid. Between the shutdown and tariffs, my daily sales are down 40%.

The fearmongering we have seen from some Jewish institutions and leaders surrounding Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is harmful, overblown, and risks needlessly deepening divisions in the city and in our community. 🧵

So here’s a weird one. JD Vance and Peter Thiel have been running their own little GOP think tank out of a small Ohio town since 2019. The Washington Post says the group, called the Rockbridge Network, is made up of conservative billionaires, media figures, and donors trying to build a MAGA movement that keeps going long after Trump’s gone. Their plan is to win every election with 55% of the vote, build their own media empire, and use “strategic litigation” to tilt the laws in their favor. The group’s led by venture capitalist Chris Buskirk — who’s teamed up with Trump Jr. and calls his plan “aristopopulism,” which sounds like an SAT word for “rich populism.” They’ve already got their eye on Vance as Trump’s heir apparent for 2028, but it’s not hard to see how this setup could get messy fast.

GOP Rep. Bacon: What should alarm Republicans is the margins of victory in New Jersey and Virginia. They weren't even close. The Democrats are galvanized. They're angry at the cuts and the chaos. They're angry at the National Guard being sent to our cities. What's concerning is a lot of our swing voters also went back towards Democrats, mainly because they don't see an improvement in the economy. And I think tariffs are part of that problem.

Is Mamdani hostile to some Jewish interests? Yes. But the VP pals around with antisemites, staffers at the WH and Pentagon peddle actual Nazi tropes, the FBI chief called the ADL “terrorist”, DHS ended far right extremist monitoring. The call comes from inside the building, bro.

I’m deeply concerned about a data center built by tech billionaires who are openly cozying up to Trump and attacking our democracy. We should be fighting to lower our energy bills and protect our Great Lakes, not announcing projects that will raise rates & drain water resources.
Inbox: Gov. Whitmer says Michigan has been selected for a multibillion-dollar OpenAI Stargate project, to be built by Oracle and Related Digital. 'Today, we won the largest economic project in Michigan history.'
🚨 @SenatorSlotkin talks NSPM-7 with @jaketapper, saying Trump has "tasked the Department of Justice to come up with a list of domestic terrorists." "If you start putting the full weight of the intelligence community against these domestic terrorists, suddenly you have CIA officers, NSA officers looking at American citizens, which is a big no no, a big illegal act after Watergate."

Small business owner: Since Trump announced his so-called Liberation Day, we've received thousands of price increases from our suppliers. Price changes have cost my business and my customers thousands of dollars. The imprudent, reckless, and constant yanking of the tariff leash is hurting small business and it's killing consumer confidence.

So @MeghanMcCain wants to know how she’s supposed to raise her children in a state with an attorney general who said horrible things? Gosh Meghan, I don’t know. Maybe the same way you raise your children in a country with a president who says horrible things every day.👇

From the final report of the Jan 6 commission: "That evidence has led to an overriding and straightforward conclusion: the central cause of January 6th was one man, former President Donald Trump, whom many others followed. None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him." govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GPO-… Dismaying but not very surprising that we now have two UK former PMs who have decided to rewrite history on Trump's role in fomenting an insurrection in 2020.
This is a total disgrace. The BBC has doctored footage of Trump to make it look as though he incited a riot - when he in fact said no such thing. We have Britain’s national broadcaster using a flagship programme to tell palpable untruths about Britain’s closest ally. Is anyone at the BBC going to take responsibility - and resign? telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/11…

Really great work here from Bari Weiss. Seems totally on top of it
An exchange from Trump's "60 Minutes" interview about his family's crypto empire was not included in the extended version shared online. Trump sued and settled with the network over the program's editing of a 2024 Kamala Harris interview. axios.com/2025/11/03/trump-6…

"The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York was running an active investigation into Epstein and Maxwell's co-conspirators until January 2025, when prosecutors were directed to transfer the Epstein case files to the Justice Department's headquarters, in what Raskin said was 'a sudden and dramatic shift in the posture of the investigation.' Since then, 'the investigation into co-conspirators has inexplicably ceased,' he said, citing information provided to the Judiciary Committee by attorneys who represent Epstein survivors."

ICE quietly deports man in vegetative state—he died despite being perfectly healthy when arrested. Family was unable to find him for weeks—agent where detained finally admit he had "health issue." He was bedridden, unable to speak, move, or eat—could only blink to communicate. After ICE deported him by air ambulance to a hospital in Costa Rica—doctors described him as "filthy, with open wounds, dried blood in his mouth, and unable to speak or move." Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel died in the hospital on October 26, 2025—still in a vegetative state. His family is preparing to file a lawsuit for neglect—including a complaint to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. #DemsUnited
Interesting comment “ if the govt has to subsidize, it’s not working”. So do farm & oil subsidies fit in with that?

🚨I posted this video weeks ago (video in comments)… and now we know the truth. She wasn’t undocumented. She wasn’t even involved. She was a U.S. citizen… just driving down the street when ICE agents rammed into HER car while THEY were trying to flee. Then, they dragged her out of her car, and threw her in the back of their van… All because THEY caused the accident. That’s assault under color of law, false imprisonment, and deprivation of rights under 18 U.S.C. § 242… not to mention a blatant violation of her Fourth Amendment rights. Pair that with reckless driving… and this isn’t just misconduct, it’s criminal. ICE and Border Patrol agents are endangering our communities, and our roads.
