Judge Ellis is on the bench this morning about to rule in the case about DHS's use of force in Chicago. Things are not going well for DHS — she just accused Gregory Bovino of lying under oath about his use of force.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 5h

Ellis turns to the testimony of U.S. Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino. How he denied using force against a man he tackled and said he didn't see the Rev. David Black hit by pepperballs.

"More telling," she says, "defendant Bovino admitted that he lied."

By this time next week, the estimated deaths due to the illegal destruction of USAID and the shuttering of its aid efforts will breach 400,000.

More than 260,000 will be children.

Sickening. All the people dying over the USAID abrupt and unprecedented cuts and this man is despicably rewarded. There are no adequate words.

Every month for the last 77 years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has estimated Americans' unemployment rate

This streak dies tomorrow

Govt staff could not survey Americans about whether they're working or looking for work in Oct, the 1st time in 934 months

This blind spot will remain forever

I decided to attend Speaker Johnson’s press conference today to speak to him.

No fewer than 28 billionaires donated at least 100k to beat Zohran Mamdani. Their overt attempt to buy the election provided Mamdani with perfect talking points. From @ryanlcooper.com: trib.al/LEnjMCa

America’s Dumbest Billionaires Fail to Stop Zohran Mamdani - The American Prospect

It’s encouraging on many levels: New York City didn’t submit to a campaign of flagrant bigotry from disgraced two-time loser Andrew Cuomo, and Americans, particularly young ones, can still be politically inspired by a good candidate with a good message.

Yesterday's election allowed me to feel real hope for the first time since last November. To see the response across the country has caused elation.

Yes, it's going to be a painful lesson about unfettered capitalism and privatization becoming a nation (or world) strangling monopoly.

NEW: Mississippi Democrats broke the Republican Party's supermajority in the state Senate tonight for the first time since 2011.

It came as Democrats flipped 2 Senate seats and 1 House seat.

“Mississippi just broke the supermajority—and the people have taken back their power,” the party says.

WOAH. Texas GOP Executive Director Jen Hall and another top party official just resigned. In her letter to party Chair Abraham George, Hall said she "cannot in good conscience continue to work this way" but doesn't elaborate. Hall and George are both longtime Tim Dunn allies. This is...interesting.
