Black Friday and Cyber Monday make up 20% of corporate retailers' annual sales. What better way to send a message to companies like Amazon, Target, and Home Depot, who don’t care about the very people lining their pockets, than to say, We Ain’t Buying It!

Today we won a big victory in Texas but the fight for democracy is not over. We all need to steel ourselves for the battles ahead. We won't win them all, but we can never lose sight of what we need to do to prepare fee and fair elections.

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

! Chuck @schumer.senate.gov asks unanimous consent that the Senate immediately read and pass the bill to release the Epstein files, un-amended, "as soon as it comes over from the House." No objections. Motion succeeds. Bill is deemed to the Senate unanimously, will go to Trump to become law.

Trump's line about the murdered Jamal Khashoggi—"A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about....Things happen."—is truly heinous. It's evil.

The president of the United States said that. In the nauseatingly gilded Oval Office. Next to the dictator who ordered the killing.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

A federal court just curbed Texas Republicans and Trump's power grab.

Texas' congressional map was redrawn to secure more seats for Republicans by a means of disenfranchising millions of voters of color. This is a win for democracy.

The president is overturning the rule of law for dangerous criminals who are loyal to him.

We're beyond "What would you say if you saw it in another country?" now.
NEWS: President Trump has issued a *second* pardon for Jan. 6 defendant Dan Wilson.

Wilson, a militia member, remained in prison on a firearms conviction unrelated to the Capitol attack. But Trump's new pardon explicitly covers the gun charges. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

This is a very bad look for Shaheen. The “heckler” is Heath Howard, who happens to be running for the Dem nomination for NH-01, which is the same district her daughter Stefany is running in.

Heath also happens to be disabled so her vote may impact him personally.

Your electricity costs more, your commute costs more, your food costs more, all while they line their pockets with your tax dollars. It’s not great.
Trump admin Is attempting to massive cut federal transit funds, seeking to:
1–Eliminate transit account, which funds billions of $ in capital expenses for transit agencies
2–Prevent state DOTs from “flexing” funds for transit

These changes, if they occurred, would be devastating for US transit.

DOT recently sent two proposals to the White House budget office seeking to pare back transit money.

“Weaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an “ongoing investigation”

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

Well, FUCK. This is the play. If they start an investigation (which they can slow walk), then they don't have to release files in an active investigation.
This is the legal/injunction/court stuff I saw to keep the Epstein files from being released. Likely they’ll say because it’s an active investigation they can’t release the Epstein files.
