We have sworn declarations from USIP's president, security chief, chief of staff, director of comms and two members of outside counsel who were all present the day of the raid and support our bid for MPD to release the body cam footage. They agree Americans deserve to know what happened that day.
Former USIP security chief says MPD gave 'high-fives and fist bumps' after raid
The latest on the lawsuit to get MPD's body cam footage released.

so, today I got the surgery center where I got my deviated septum fixed to send me an itemized bill so I could submit to my FSA for reimbursement
my out of pocket cost: $473
what my insurance paid: $4258
what they tried to charge my insurance (not a misprint): $173692

I was at an event yesterday where Rand Paul spoke via video and talked about how great it was to send ACA money "directly to the people" so that they could work collectively to get better deals on health care.

This is what a bunch of Democrats in the Senate just voted for:
"The provision, tucked into a measure to fund the legislative branch, appears to immediately allow for eight GOP senators to sue over their phone records being seized in the course of the investigation by Jack Smith ... into the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...
Spending Bill Would Pave Way for Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches
Republicans have voiced outrage that Jack Smith looked at G.O.P. lawmakers’ phone records surrounding the Jan. 6 attack. Legislation to reopen the government would allow them to sue for $500,000 each.

In my old town the GOP had run basically without serious challenge for decades. A bunch of us "millennials" joined the local Dem party and basically asked to help.
We were running it in a year. Within 4 years we had a majority of town seats flipped Dem. A FAR more progressive Dem than old party

“Rather than taking over the Democratic Party the same way the right took over the Republican Party, we should take the easier route and just start up a new party ourselves!”

This. There’s a reason why the Tea Party wasn’t a new party. It’s much cheaper to take over an existing party. Mamdani doesn’t have to be an outlier, we can find more candidates capable of meeting the moment and free ourselves from these centrists and their enablers.

If you're wondering why a group of Senate Democrats caved, it's because Democrats were too close to winning this fight.

okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway:
1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

Unless Democratic Senators who voted no on the #Schumersurrender today explicitly call for Schumer to resign or step aside - they all own this cave. Just pushing out performative posts and press releases don’t count for much anymore. Enough.
Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week
Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

A deal blocking Trump from doing an already illegal thing is not a 'deal' b/c (1) it was already illegal, (2) the admin does not give a shit if you make it double illegal, and (3) the ppl you're making the 'deal' with claim they have no power to force the admin to obey laws to begin with.

As I keep saying, don't discount the possibility that, if their caucus starts crumbling in the face of worse and worse Trump criminality, Republican leaders just never gavel this Congress back in again.
GOP SEN. JOHN KENNEDY: It may be 2026 when we'll come out of the shutdown.
REPORTERS: 😳
KENNEDY: I'm not kidding, you guys. I mean, you see what I see. Okay? This shutdown is going to last a long time. What's going to get us out of it?

One key finding: while considering several petitions from oil companies in these climate cases over the past few years, Gorsuch bought and sold shares in energy sector funds that were largely or solely fossil fuel companies like Exxon, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips. He sold them off by end of 2024.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
