An anti-abortion protester has shot someone outside of a South Carolina Planned Parenthood.
My source says one person was injured and taken to the hospital—and that the protester was arrested.
More soon.

We sent hundreds of people to be tortured in a foreign prison, for misdemeanors at most, and we just kind of stopped talking about it
NYT - Dozens of Venezuelans sent by the US to a maximum security prison in El Salvador describe being beaten, sexually assaulted by guards and driven to the brink of suicide. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/wo...
Inside Trump’s Deportation of Venezuelans: Four Months in a Salvadoran Prison
The Times interviewed dozens of migrant men sent to a prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration. Independent forensic analysts called the testimony credible and consistent and said the treatment met the U.N.’s definition of torture.

Here's your chance to do something about the people being starved and beaten in Broadview ICE custody.

And if you make a donation to them, let me know how much and I'll match it 1:1.

I can’t remember who said that this administration is all stick and no carrot. There’s no comfort too small that they will just let you have.
JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

i really truly wish any of the epstein furore was caused by a genuine concern for cruelty for teenage girls, for exploited kids. it would be a different country if it was, of course, but the discourse is sometimes jarring

Embarrassing music confession: I’ve always confused Lana del Rey and Florence + the Machine. And Lana del Rey is fine? I don’t hate her, but don’t bother to seek her out.

Perfume people: do samples smell different than full bottles? I feel like any time I get a small sample and like it enough to splurge on a whole bottle, it smells totally different. How the hell do you pick an actual scent you love?

This evil Elon anecdote just makes me think of Pushing Daisies, where the dandelion car guy kills the researcher and buries the test dummies because of the safety flaw that blows up the car if it hits a certain speed with the seat warmers on

Durbin’s numbers aren’t taking voicemails, and I can’t even get the message system on his website to work.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
