This is the fist bump everyone needs to be talking about.
Ted Cruz and fellow Republicans celebrating after blocking a bill to help toxin-exposed veterans survive.
An Alabama alumnus showed up for the game and sat in his assigned seat, only to be confronted by a woman and her friends who had been saving rows of seats. After she allegedly called him a racial slur and insulted him, he started recording the encounter 😳
A USF professor and nurse from Nigeria has been in ICE custody for 2 months. She no longer appears in the database but might be in Louisiana. She had a protection from removal order/no record. This is inhumane we must get these people out of detention.

Explain to every American why, on VETERANS DAY, Pete Hegseth, your DUI-history Secretary of Defense, and his entourage treated the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier like a goddamn photo opportunity.
Laughing. Chattering. Carrying on until an Army sentinel had to publicly remind these grown adults to show some fucking respect.
Imagine the breathtaking arrogance of being entrusted with America’s military yet needing a soldier to teach you basic decency at one of our nation’s most sacred memorials.
Those unknown soldiers gave their lives for this country. Hegseth and his entourage couldn’t even give them a moment of silence.
The soldier understood the assignment. The Secretary of Defense embarrassed himself AGAIN.
We may have had to count One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, but Blue Mississippi sure has a nice ring to it! Scott, you put your heart and soul into this race because you believe in the promise of your state’s people. And they believed in you right back. I’m honored to have stood alongside you. Congratulations!
Ex-Trump supporter: "I did believe that the election was stolen. I believed that the rioters were patriots until I switched off Fox News and started getting news and information from other places. That's when it finally hit."
🚨 WTF! Rubio racked up $1.2 MILLION in taxpayer-funded flights to attend University of Florida football games, including at least 10 games involving his son.https://t.co/i8Rijravsq
Pete Hegseth told America's generals that women might not measure up for some combat jobs. A Marine drill instructor, a Navy helicopter pilot and an Army officer with three Bronze Stars just gave him their answer.
All three of them: https://t.co/HmORNw1uTk
It’s Veterans Day. And House Republicans just passed a bill to cut Veterans benefits by $57 billion, according to the VA’s own estimates.
This is how they’re thanking our heroes for their service.
What a disgrace to have the Secretary of Defense reprimanded by a Sentinel at the tomb of the unknown soldier on Veterans Day. Pete Hegseth has no respect for the fallen and he can’t even remain reverent on this sacred day at one of our nation’s most sacred memorials. This makes our blood boil. Hegseth must be impeached and removed from office.
Maine’s new senator showed up to Washington in an $89.99 suit off the rack from Target — and it tells you everything about who just got elected, and the populist story behind this election.
Troy Jackson posted a selfie on the Capitol steps this week holding his U.S. Senate folder. People zoomed in on his sleeve, spotted the Haggar label, and tracked it down to Target.
It fits. Jackson is a fifth-generation logger from Allagash, Maine. His mom was 16 when he was born. He spent years working 80-hour weeks in the woods, and he got into politics fighting for loggers’ pay.
He wasn’t even supposed to be on the ballot. He stepped in with about 100 days to go and beat Susan Collins, who had held that seat since 1997.
The Senate is a millionaires’ club.
People whose last job before politics was blue-collar have never held more than about 2% of the seats in Congress. Most of the people writing laws about your wages have never had to live on one.
Jackson is a longtime Bernie Sanders ally. He ran Bernie’s Maine operation in 2016, and Bernie campaigned with him across the state this fall. He’s going to Washington to fight for Medicare for All, protect and expand Social Security, back unions, and make billionaires pay their fair share.
A senator who knows what a paycheck actually buys. In a $90 suit.
