El-Sayed is the former Director of Wayne County’s Health Department, doesn’t take AIPAC money or any corporate PAC money. He’s also been the most outspoken of the three Democrats running for Senate about the Gaza genocide and is a strong supporter of Medicare for All. @rashidatlaib : “I’m proud to endorse Abdul El-Sayed to be our next senator. As a health equity champion and Medicare for All advocate, Abdul leads with a grassroots vision for change centered on inclusion and dignity for Michigan families.” #rashida #elsayed #michigan

Senator John Fetterman from Pennsylvania is in the hospital after he fell during an early-morning walk near his home. His office says he became light-headed because of a “ventricular fibrillation flare-up,” which caused him to lose his balance and fall. Fetterman hit his face but only has minor injuries. Doctors are keeping him in the hospital for observation and to adjust his medications. His team says he is awake, talking, and expected to recover.

A new Drop Site News report says Yoni Koren, a former Israeli intelligence officer and top aide to ex–Prime Minister Ehud Barak, stayed at Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse for weeks at a time in 2014 and 2015. Leaked emails cited in the article show Epstein working on a wire transfer connected to Barak’s circle, and include strange back and forths about money, travel, and timing. The report also says Epstein helped arrange international security deals that tied him to Israeli intelligence networks. Major news outlets haven’t confirmed the claims, but the documents add to long running questions about Epstein’s Israeli intelligence connections. #epstein #israel #ehudbarak #trump

The U.S. Mint made the final penny on November 12, 2025. No new pennies will be made for everyday use anymore. Older pennies will still count as real money, so people can keep using them. The U.S. government decided to stop making pennies because they cost more to make than they are worth. It became too expensive to keep producing them. The Mint might still make special pennies for collectors, but not for regular spending. This last penny marks the end of more than 100 years of penny production. #penny

The House voted 222 to 209 to approve a funding package and reopen the federal government, ending the longest shutdown in U.S. history. The vote fell largely along party lines, but six Democrats broke with their party and joined Republicans to pass the bill. Those Democrats were: •Henry Cuellar @repcuellar (TX) •Don Davis @repdondavis (NC) •Jared Golden @repgolden (ME) •Adam Gray @repadamgrayca (CA) •Marie Gluesenkamp Perez repmgp (WA) •Tom Suozzi @reptomsuozzi (NY) The legislation funds most federal agencies through January 30 and includes three full-year funding bills for other departments. It now heads to President Trump’s desk for his signature. Most House Democrats opposed the bill because it does not address the expiring Affordable Care Act health care tax credits, which were central to the party’s shutdown demands. #dems #gop #politics #shutdown

Katie Wilson, a longtime progressive organizer and founder of Seattle’s Transit Riders Union, has been elected as Seattle’s next mayor. She defeated incumbent Bruce Harrell by nearly 2,000 votes after a week of ballot counting. Wilson campaigned on expanding affordable housing, improving public transit, and enacting fairer taxation policies. Her victory gives her independence from major political groups, as she did not rely heavily on endorsements from business or labor organizations. She is now assembling her transition team and is expected to take office in January. #seattle

Adelita Grijalva was finally sworn into Congress today, nearly seven weeks after winning her special election in Arizona. Republicans delayed seating her, but now that she’s officially a Member of the House, she becomes the decisive vote on whether Congress releases the Epstein files. Her arrival gives Democrats the extra vote they need to move forward with demanding full disclosure from the Epstein estate and related agencies. #grijalva #epstein #dems #democrats #gop #politics

Donald Trump went on Truth Social this afternoon and claimed Democrats are bringing up Epstein to distract from the shutdown. “The Democrats are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax again because they’ll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they’ve done on the Shutdown, and so many other subjects,” he wrote. “Only a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap,” Trump continued, accusing Democrats of costing the U.S. “$1.5 trillion” during the shutdown. Donald Trump said in June 2024 that he would release the Epstein files, but by July 7, 2025, his Justice Department announced it would not release any further records. #politics #usa #democrats #trump

Fetterman is more interested in being a Senator for Israel than Pennsylvania. His time is up.

House Democrats on the Oversight Committee have released new emails showing that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein once described Donald Trump as “the dog that hasn’t barked.” In a 2011 exchange with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein wrote that one of his alleged victims had “spent hours at my house with him,” referring to Trump, adding that “he has never once been mentioned.” Maxwell replied, “I have been thinking about that.” The names of alleged victims and other identifying details were redacted from the released messages. These are only three of the 23,000 documents Democrats have received from the Epstein estate, raising questions about what else could be revealed as more files come out. Are these the fabled family values we hear about? Is this why the DOJ said there was no “Epstein List”? Who edited the missing minute from Epstein’s jail cell? #trump #epstein

Donald Trump wrote a letter to Israeli President Isaac Herzog urging him to pardon war criminals and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In the letter, Trump calls Netanyahu a strong “war-time leader” who helped secure peace deals in the Middle East, and claims the corruption charges against him are “political and unjustified,” but they’re not. Trump says Netanyahu’s focus should stay on defending Israel and managing peace efforts, not legal battles. He also says the U.S. and Israel have achieved “unprecedented successes” under his leadership and calls the prosecution against Netanyahu “lawfare” that should be ended. Should Trump STFU?

A New York judge found that Donald Trump illegally used money raised from a 2016 veterans’ charity event to promote his presidential campaign. The fundraiser, billed as a benefit for veterans, was organized and directed by Trump’s campaign team to boost his image ahead of the Iowa caucuses. While the funds were eventually distributed to veterans’ organizations after legal pressure, the court determined that Trump and the Donald J. Trump Foundation had violated state charity laws by using the event for political purposes. In December 2018, the Trump Foundation agreed to shut down under court supervision as part of a settlement with the New York Attorney General’s Office, which found a “pattern of illegality,” including self dealing and using charity money for political and business benefit. In 2019, a New York judge finalized the dissolution of the Trump Foundation and ordered Trump to pay $2 million in damages, which was distributed to eight legitimate charities. Shameful.

A Utah judge has rejected a map drawn by the state legislature and instead approved one proposed by voting-rights groups. Judge Gibson said the legislature’s map was an “extreme partisan outlier” designed to favor Republicans. “Map C fails in many ways to comply with Proposition 4,” she wrote. “First, Map C was drawn with partisan political data on display. It does not abide by Proposition 4’s traditional redistricting criteria ‘to the greatest extent practicable.’ Based on the evidence presented, the Court finds that Map C was drawn with the purpose of favoring Republicans—a conclusion that follows even from S.B. 1011’s metric for partisan intent—and it unduly favors Republicans and disfavors Democrats,” she wrote. Judge Gibson defended her decision, stating, “Plaintiffs’ Map 1 has neither the purpose nor effect of unduly favoring or disfavoring a political party. It was configured by a reliable computer algorithm programmed to closely adhere to Proposition 4’s neutral redistricting criteria.” The new map puts all of Utah’s congressional districts up for grabs. #utah #gop #democrats #dems #politics

The U.S. Supreme Court has officially denied Kim Davis’s appeal, ending her years-long fight against same-sex marriage rights. Davis, a former Kentucky county clerk, became known in 2015 when she refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples after the Supreme Court legalized same sex marriage in Obergefell v. Hodges. By refusing, she violated the couples’ constitutional rights and was later ordered by a jury to pay damages. Davis asked the Supreme Court to not only overturn that ruling (pay your own damn bills lady) but also reconsider the national legalization of same-sex marriage reaching unprecedented Karen levels. Girl go get a real job. Bye! #gaymarriage #lgbt #sotu #kimdavis #loser

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has named veteran budget official Dean Fuleihan as New York City’s First Deputy Mayor. The announcement took place at Roosevelt House on the Upper East Side, the same historic site where Franklin D. Roosevelt conducted his own transition to the presidency in 1932. Fuleihan served as the city’s Budget Director from 2014 to 2017 and First Deputy Mayor from 2018 to 2021. Under his leadership at the Office of Management and Budget, New York City’s budget grew from about $72 billion to $85 billion. #mamdani #nyc #newyork

Trump issued more than 70 pardons late last night, including to Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, John Eastman, and other allies accused of trying to overturn the 2020 election results. The move wipes away federal charges and investigations for many of his closest supporters who were facing accusations of conspiracy, obstruction, and filing false elector documents. These pardons only apply to federal cases, meaning some could still face prosecution at the state level in places like Georgia and Michigan. #trump #lawandorder #coservatives #crime

After more than a month of a government shutdown, the Senate voted 60–40 to move forward with a bill to reopen the government. The deal passed with help from eight Democrats who joined Republicans, while Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer voted against it. Schumer had pushed for the deal to include an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies, but that was dropped from the final version. He said he couldn’t support reopening the government without protecting health care benefits for millions of Americans and voted “no” as if he wasn’t the one making the deal. 😑😑 #dems #democrats #schumer #senatedems
