The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.
Every single time.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?

President Donald Trump threatened to withhold critical food aid until the government shutdown is over, despite his administration’s assertion to a court earlier this week that it would continue funding partial benefits. https://cnn.it/4oQz7gP

Breaking tradition, judges are now speaking to the public through their rulings to warn of democratic backsliding. As Trump bulldozes history in real time, judges across America are putting the facts into the permanent record– where he can’t touch them. #Velshi
America’s judges are creating a record Trump can’t erase
Federal judges across the country are issuing extraordinary warnings as Donald Trump tests the limits of presidential power and pushes the nation toward authoritarianism. In a rare move, Judge Susan Graber urged Americans to “retain faith in our judicial system for just a little longer,” as lower courts work to restrain Trump’s overreach. These judges aren’t just issuing rulings— they’re preserving the factual record at the very moment Trump is trying to erase history, collective memory, and truth itself.

The federal shutdown — one month long and counting — has an obvious economic impact for government workers who aren’t receiving paychecks and food aid recipients who didn’t get their benefits Nov. 1. But what about the broader economy? (via @politifact.bsky.social) https://to.pbs.org/4qTLURA
Analysis: How much could the federal government shutdown cost the economy?
In past shutdowns, estimates of lost economic activity have reached into the billions of dollars. In the context of a $30 trillion economy, that's not a lot. But on the margins, economists say it can have an effect.

NEW: How ICE mistakenly deported Alejandro Juarez to Mexico.

Alejandro was detained in NYC, put on the wrong ICE plane and sent to Mexico.

He never saw a judge, no deportation order - a likely violation of law.
