I can see why the chapter about civics learning and fighting disinfo might scare a populist— populism in itself is wholly UnAmerican? Populism splits society into 2 factions, warring: “pure” people vs the “corrupt” It creates war. Hence Dictators. *Democracy teaches compromise.*

BREAKING: Trump just issued a blanket pardon for 79 individuals related to the 2020 fake electors scheme, to try and rig the election. This includes Rudy Guliani, Mark Meadows, Jeffrey Clark and Sidney Powell. NOTE: He can’t pardon State crimes even if he thinks he can. He’s clearly trying to normalize election rigging for 2026.

This moment demands fighters, not folders.

Tonight was a very bad night.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

We just learned the scam they are running with the tariffs and it’s our own commerce secretary at the head of it.

NEW: The Trump admin told states it must immediately "undo" the work to provide full food stamp benefits, or face penalties. The feds sent this in a late-night memo, only adding to the chaos and confusion around SNAP. nytimes.com/2025/11/09/busin…

Let's check in on the guy in Russian occupied Donetsk that uses Instagram to sell the apartments of murdered Ukrainians for local gangsters. This one even comes with all the personal belongings, such as cooking utensils and blankets.

Reporter: VP Vance called the court order absurd. Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own. And you’ll excuse me for getting emotional about it, but when I see people in my state who are hungry because of Vance’s bullshit politics, that makes me angry. That’s why I went to court, and that’s why we’re putting dollars on people’s SNAP cards—because that’s what the people of Pennsylvania deserve. And America deserves better than J.D. Vance.

Over the course of the night, Ukraine’s Defense Forces neutralized more than 400 drones, which is a significant result – achieved by our unmanned systems units, army aviation, and mobile fire groups. Electronic warfare did its job. Some of the missiles were also shot down – although, of course, it is extremely difficult to counter ballistic and aeroballistic missiles. Only a few systems in the world are capable of intercepting such missiles effectively – and to protect our entire territory, we need far more of these systems and the missiles for them. We are working with the United States to purchase additional Patriots, and we are very much counting on the support. I am grateful to every leader, to every one of our friends in Europe, in America, in Asia, who is trying to help.

Elections attorney Marc Elias knows his stuff.

The employee walk-offs are beginning to spread all over Russia, as another 300 construction workers building the "Institute 'Orgenergostroy'" in Ulyanovsk have gone on strike due to not having been paid in over 2 months. "Currently, the salary delay has reached 2 months. We ask you to look into this situation, help us, because people have nothing left to pay their loans, many debts have accumulated, and everything else. <…> Living conditions are also terrible. Toilets are overflowing, not being pumped out, water is not delivered, purchased at our own expense. Lunches have been canceled, there has been no food for a long time. Transport — we get there however we can," said the workers in an appeal dated November 5. The workers stated that they will not return to work until all wage arrears are paid. "Institute 'Orgenergostroy'" was supposed to be Putin's dream nuclear research center.
