87% of Hispanics in this country are either citizens or here legally. That means using race as decision factor is inherently flawed, and violates the 4th Amendment prohibition against unreasonable search and seizure. It's time to impeach some SCOTUS justices for inability to read.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Nearly 50% of people in *swing districts* want impeachment. What other issues have that kind of agreement? freespeechforpeople.org/poll-a-plura...

freespeechforpeople.orgPOLL: A Plurality of Swing-District Voters Support Impeachment Amid President Trump’s Ongoing Crackdown on the Constitution - Free Speech For PeopleThese results expose Trump’s deep unpopularity in swing districts, delivering a significant blow to the administration’s spurious claims of a public mandate.

Everyone is correcting the substance here so I'll skip ahead to note that the last year has been a good test of the theory that most people just want bigotry rather than housing (& etc.) and that theory turns out to be totally wrong for a large majority, including virtually all the swing voters.

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

Thanks for calling out Trump’s corrupt, illegal, and immoral acts, @neguse.house.gov! It sounds like you might be interested in supporting impeachment. Unfortunately, our tracker shows us your last position was “against” ☹️ We’d love to help you change that!

Rep. Joe Neguse@neguse.house.gov

Over $5 billion in emergency funding is available TODAY to fund SNAP benefits for families and children across the country. The Trump administration’s refusal to release these funds is immoral — and unlawful.

Another pro tip for @cnn.com guests: Remember never to say on air that Scott Jennings is lying on air and that network management is paying him to lie on air when, in fact, he is lying on air as the network pays him to do 🤣

"I hope your beeper doesn't go off." A year ago today, a racist tried to make a 'joke' about me being killed by Israel. It was the 1st time I've ever walked off of live TV. That night CNN said they'd ban the racist from their air. But in the year since, I myself haven't been invited back on CNN.

Impeachment is necessary, and many, many people agree. Forty-nine percent of voters in *swing districts* support impeaching Trump. Impeachment is incredibly popular; it is a winning issue. It's not playing politics to impeach a president who is committing treason, and voters know this.

Keira Havens@highcountryrose.bsky.social

NC-01, Davis - This office told us that because a grassroots group had raised the concern, they would begin discussion of impeachment. We showed them polling demonstrating support for impeachment in swing districts (including their own NC-01) freespeechforpeople.org/wp-content/u...

We live in a country where the media is focused more on who a Democratic mayoral candidate defines as his ‘aunt’ than on the DHS Twitter account putting out white nationalist propaganda and replying to Nazis online.

"Pardon me do you have any Grey Poupon?"

jamelle@jamellebouie.net

i cannot believe that “mamdani calls a close adult relative an ‘aunt’ even if they are not literally their parent’s sister” is what counts as a “scandal” these days

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Under Mike Johnson, the House has conducted just 20 days of business in the last 16 weeks and refused to swear in Democrat Adelita Grijalva. Don't forget what this is really about: keeping the release of the Epstein Files at bay.

A "very dangerous" enough situation that you might vocally call for the impeachment of the chief executive, Rep. Raskin @raskin.house.gov and Rep. Jeffries @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ? 🤔

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Raskin with Jeffries: "It's an alarming situation where now we have many of these January 6 defendants who have been picked up on other defenses. The Department of Justice is not zealously prosecuting them for other crimes they have committed ... it's a very dangerous situation."

I mean, Jesus was *very clear* on this point: "I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me." Matthew 25:35

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Here's a key exchange. Rep Chip Roy smeared protesters for not believing we have "no king but Jesus," but @anamariecox.bsky.social reports seeing many protesters in his district on No Kings' side with signs bearing more pious religious messages than his. Transcript: newrepublic.com/article/2020...

Raskin details how he tried to get unanimous consent today to force Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the Acting Speaker Haridopolos "scurried out of the room"

Since 8 million people protested Tangerine Palpatine on Saturday, he’s doing everything he can to take back control of the narrative by getting you mad about bulldozing the White House and shitting on everyone.

When at least 7 million Americans come together to say, "We will not accept this yoke of fascism," it is up to our electeds to do more. #NoKings is great, but what we really need is for people we elected to be doing the jobs we hired them to do. Congress, do better. Honor your oaths. Impeach.

ANY ARRESTS? Among the millions upon millions of "violent leftist radicals" that took to the streets today I cannot find word of a single arrest. Even when everything is peaceful there is usually an overzealous cop or something. This is unheard of. We need to beat the media over the head with it.
