Activists are lining the path to the negotiating rooms at #COP28 as talks stretch into the night.

The latest draft text is wholly unacceptable in failing to #EndFossilFuels.

We’re calling on our leaders to #HoldTheLine + push for the fossil fuel phaseout we deserve.

- didn't come across like a nursing home patient when he debated flavio twice
- had jair arrested and convicted to 27 years in prison for insurrection instead of dicking around with merrick garland
- called Israel's assault on gaza "genocide" instead of sending 14000 2k lbs bombs

Mike Rogers acknowledges that in 2012 he was indeed willing to work with the Muslim Brotherhood but says that he was doing it in defense of Israel and its relationship to Egypt.

Political power is meant to be used to fight for the people you serve, not to line your own pockets and sell out millions of our tax dollars for a quick check.

So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

If you're a cop in the USA, you can legit get away with killing a 1-year-old if you suspect his mom was trying to steal diapers & baby clothes from a store. But if you're a dad who, after watching cops kill his son on video, decides to get his lick back, this is what happens:

It all comes down to Maine. It comes down to us.

We know what’s at stake. We know that a vote for Susan Collins is a vote for Donald Trump.

Let’s win this thing and take back the Senate.

This is known as “chain refoulment” and it’s a violation of both U.S. and international law.

This Forbes investigation is a must-read.

Donald Trump pulled in roughly $1.4 billion from crypto in 2025, plus more than $200 million from real estate, and faced a projected tax bill north of $500 million. So his company donated the "development rights" to his Jupiter, Florida golf course to a land trust, argued the course was a natural habitat worth protecting, and kept right on running the club. Forbes estimates the write-off could land around $825 million.

He has done this at least five times since 2005. New York's attorney general alleged two of those appraisals were inflated. In Doral, he claimed a deduction of up to $323 million, more than double what he paid for the entire resort.

A month after the Jupiter deal, he sued the IRS. The settlement his own Justice Department signed bars claims against him over matters that "could be pending," language that appears broad enough to cover this year's taxes. A federal judge found the case was brought to manipulate the judicial process. And the man now running the IRS, who took the job as this deal was being assembled, has a home backing onto those same Jupiter fairways.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Nobody should be able to use the presidency to write his own tax bill.

Matthew Yglesias continues to say that talking about ICE and excessive force in immigration enforcement helps Republicans. He is obviously wrong about this and refuses to acknowledge the data. Way past time for everyone to update their priors on this.

[Leah Greenberg says NO KINGS ❌👑 @Leahgreenb]

I met with Finer, Sullivan, and a bunch of Biden's senior people several times throughout 2023-2024 and I cannot stress enough how maddening it is to watch them reposition now after spending the time they were actually in power gaslighting the shit out of everyone

Sludge's reporting is linked in this astounding article by Adam Bonica and Jake Grumbach:

“It was like this biblical battle where the Palestinian men … went in front of me to protect … me and my rescuers from being attacked again,” Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine told Jake Tapper.

Levine was kicked, beaten with clubs and robbed by Israeli settlers while covering Friday’s olive harvest in the occupied West Bank, leaving her with multiple broken bones. Speaking after leaving the hospital, she said Israeli soldiers charged Palestinian farmers as settlers advanced alongside them. She said that unlike her, Palestinian victims endure these attacks daily, with absolutely nowhere safe to go.

DSA’s Abolish ICE Grant Program has awarded $40,000 to 11 chapters nationwide, supporting ICE watch programs, Know Your Rights trainings, and food distribution for communities impacted by ICE surges. Solidarity means showing up where our communities need us.

[Astead @AsteadWH]

This week’s newsletter: I wrote about the GOPs strategy of Islamophobia has been aided by Democrats and the press. And I find the lack of pushback not only immoral but shortsighted.

We either all have a place in democracy or we don’t. And the forces seeking to marginalize their place in the American project will likely expand to others
