Lo que le dice la asociación de constructores de Texas a Stephen Miller: si quiere seguir abusando de nuestra comunidades, prepárese. Esas comunidad le harán perder la Casa Blanca.

Overreaching is a euphemism for torturing and killing innocent people, including Americans, and terrorizing black and Hispanic communities. #ICE is Trump’s Gestapo, KGB, Stasi, Seguridad del Estado.

[Ravi Mangla @ravi_mangla]

Fascinating exchange between Squawk Box host and Nikki Haley.

Host: "You just said that everyone knew that [ICE was] overreaching. And I did not hear Republicans for the past two years say publicly, out loud, that they believed that ICE was overreaching..."

With Colom’s win, Democrats will hold at least 55 seats in the Senate. https://t.co/6jfHfDCLiS

wow ... this was quite the moment and massive kudos to the Army Sentinel for maintaining decorum.

On Veterans Day (November 11, 2026), a U.S. Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery publicly reprimanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

Truly unbelievable. Many of my colleagues are torn between wishful thinking and fear of the wannabe tyrant. Sad. #JimJordan

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

None of the NYT, WaPo, or Politico mention Jim Jordan’s key role in trying to help Trump overturn 2020 in their stories today on Jordan becoming House GOP leader. NYT says the move “signaled a desire for fresh leadership.”

[Hey, Dave! @davegreenidge57]

The total cost to build and operate DeSantis’ alligator Alcatraz was $1.5 billion of Floridians’ tax dollars. Dollars he lied about Trump reimbursing the state for. He also misappropriated $10 million Medicaid dollars. He’s a poster child for what he’s protesting.

Spineless #MarcoRubio pretending he doesn’t know Trump’s
“Ambassadors” he rubber stamped are corrupt. Mr. Rubio has been an integral part of the unprecedented Trumpian swamp.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

REPORTER: There have been instances of credible allegations of corruption in US officials dealing overseas

RUBIO: Like which ones?

REPORTER: Ambassador Guilfoyle

RUBIO: Okay

[News to Remember @allchronology]

As Ron DeSantis runs around blaming MAGA for everything trying to rebrand himself, remember that he's original MAGA.

[Juan-Carlos “JC” Planas @jcp717]

When I ran for Supervisor two years ago, I predicted something like this would happen. I practice election law all over the state. No other Supervisor in the state acts in such a partisan manner. Miami-Dade deserves better than such an overt partisan.

BREAKING: Joe Biden is UNLOADING on Trump in an explosive excerpt from his new memoir published by The Atlantic.

And some of the revelations are extraordinary.

Here are the most shocking details:

• TRUMP PRIVATELY PRAISED BIDEN: Biden reveals that during their Oval Office meeting after the 2024 election, Trump suggested they could have been friends, talked about playing golf together, and praised Biden's job creation record as “extraordinary.”

• TRUMP TREATED NATIONAL SECURITY LIKE GOSSIP: Biden says that while briefing Trump about Ukraine, Russia, China, NATO, and the Middle East, Trump seemed more interested in the personalities of world leaders than the global crises themselves. Their scheduled 30-minute meeting lasted nearly TWO HOURS.

• JANUARY 6: Biden condemns Trump's pardons of Capitol rioters and writes that what Trump did on January 6 “should follow him to his grave.”

• THE SUPREME COURT: Biden sharply criticizes the Court's presidential-immunity ruling, arguing that it weakened accountability for Trump's conduct.

• ELON MUSK AND DOGE: Biden describes the administration as a “crueler government,” accusing Musk's DOGE initiative of gutting federal jobs and services for vulnerable Americans.

• BIG OIL: Biden describes oil and gas executives celebrating Trump's climate-policy reversals with champagne and Pop-Tarts bearing Trump's image at a luxury hotel near the White House.

• THE WHITE HOUSE: Biden accuses Trump of taking “a wrecking ball to our traditions and institutions,” pointing to the demolition of the White House's East Wing.

• CORRUPTION AND THE WEALTHY: Biden draws comparisons to the Gilded Age, warning about powerful interests writing rules for their own benefit and selling access to political power.

• FEAR AND INTIMIDATION: Biden warns that Americans are increasingly afraid of federal enforcement, threats to civil liberties, and government institutions being turned against them.
