President Trump just now:

“It was a Great Honor meeting Zohran Mamdani the new Mayor of New York City!”
A screenshot of Donald Trump’s social media posts showing photos of his meeting with Zohran Mamdani. Trump’s caption reads: “It was a Great Honor meeting Zohran Mamdani, the new Mayor of New York City!” Below the caption is a photo of Trump seated at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, smiling, with Mamdani standing behind him. The desk is covered with papers, phones, and decorative items; behind them are military flags and the Oval Office windows. To the right is a four-image collage: Trump and Mamdani standing together in front of a large historical portrait; the two posing in a formal room with gold-framed art and ornate wall sconces; Mamdani in a close-up portrait-style shot; and a rear-view photo of Trump and Mamdani speaking while looking out toward the White House grounds.

Real tweets from the White House are indistinguishable from anti-Trump AI slop.

Or, in this case, 1990s Adbusters parodies.
White House tweet showing the McDonalds arches behind the White House Quote-tweeting: White House * @WhiteHouse •4h TONIGHT: President Trump speaks at @McDonalds summit on the economy & more. "The Biden administration started the affordability crisis, but President Trump will end it so all Americans can achieve economic prosperity."

President Trump launches Operation SOUTHERN SPEAR, a new mission led by Joint Task Force Southern Spear and SOUTHCOM. The operation targets narco-terror groups in the Western Hemisphere and aims to stop drug flows threatening the U.S.

Unsure full details or what this means, just announced.

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

SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.

Most commentators, including me, concluded that the Tuesday election victory saved Democrats from capitulating to Republican demands to pass a simple continuing resolution to re-open the government, i...

BREAKING: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issues an administrative stay in the SNAP benefits case, for the First Circuit to issue its ruling on the stay request (“with dispatch”).

Her administrative stay ends 48 hours after that ruling is issued (or upon further order).
ORDER The applicants are seeking a stay of two orders of the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island, case No. 1:25-cv-569. See D. Ct. Minute Entry (Oct. 31, 2025) and Docket Number 34 (Nov. 6, 2025). These orders require the applicants to fully fund benefits for the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program ("SNAP") for the month of November, and to distribute that funding by the end of the day on November 7, 2025 (today). Earlier today, the applicants asked the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit to stay the District Court's orders pending appeal, and to issue an administrative stay to facilitate its consideration of that stay motion. At 6:08 p.m., the First Circuit denied the applicants' request for an administrative stay, but stated that it "intend[s] to issue a decision on [the stay pending appeal] motion as quickly as possible." Rhode Island State Council of Churches v. Rollins, No. 25-2089 (CA1 Nov. 7, 2025). The applicants filed an application in this Court this evening, requesting a stay of the two District Court orders "pending the disposition of the government's appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and, if the court of appeals affirms those orders, pending the timely filing and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari in this Court." Application at 1. The applicants assert that, without intervention from this Court, they will have to "transfer an estimated $4 billion by tonight" to fund SNAP benefits through November. Ibid. Given the First Circuit's representations, an administrative stay is required to facilitate the First Circuit's expeditious resolution of the pending stay motion. IT IS ORDERED that the District Court's orders are hereby administratively stayed pending disposition of the motion for a stay pending appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in case No. 25-2089 or further order of the undersigned or of the Court. This administrative stay will terminate forty-eight hours after the First Circuit's resolution of the pending motion, which the First Circuit is expected to issue with dispatch. Is/ Ketanji Brown Jackson Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States Dated this 7th day of November, 2025.
