CBS: here is what Johnson is lying about, and here is Jeffries response but instead of listening to his factual speech we are going to cut to something else 🙄

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us.

And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

I’m heartbroken to learn that two New Yorkers have drowned as a result of today’s torrential rain and flooding. Their families and loved ones are in my thoughts tonight.

This kind of sudden and intense rain has become the new normal—and our infrastructure isn’t prepared for it.

Two men, one in Central Brooklyn and another in Upper Manhattan, were found dead in flooded areas after intense rain arrived late on Thursday.

Every single atrocity that the current Administration inflicting on Venezuela is about:

>> OIL. <<

This is about the desired theft of the largest oil deposits on the face of the planet.

By combining 8 different nanobodies isolated from alpacas and llamas following immunization with snake venom - this research team has produced an antivenom that not only protects against 17 different snake venoms but also protects from tissue local damage, a major problem associated with bites.

Single antivenom protects against 17 different snakebites

Researchers immunized an alpaca and a llama with snake venoms, and combined some of the antibodies produced into a potent cocktail.

Day 24 of Emmanuel Garcia being in federal custody.

He’s a 15 year old autistic boy who went missing 4 weeks ago. Houston PD found him, contacted ICE & his Mom is fighting to get him back

She’s not allowed to visit him.

They’re keeping a disabled kid from his family & the media is largely silent

The group chat pings around school drop-off and dismissal time. “All quiet at [Elementary School X],” one message says, or “smooth sailing at [Middle School Y].” Neighbors are on heightened alert because a federal government helicopter has been doing laps over our communities…

On the occasion of Halloween, @newrepublic.com asked me to write about what’s going on in Chicago and I wanted you all to know what randomized terror feels like. And also that as the federal government fails our kids, everyday Chicagoans are showing the courage of trying to protect them.

ICE Is Terrorizing Chicago for Halloween—and Parents Are Fighting Back

Fear and a whiff of tear gas hang over festivities this year. In response, even people who aren’t usually politically engaged are mobilizing.

We're not seeing a single suggestion in all of this media coverage about putting this abuser and sex trafficker in jail, it's just the mainstream fighting to retain the monarchy. Again, victims and survivors disappear.

Can we focus more on how victims of sexual violence continue to be failed today and less on the drama of the Royal Family? Then perhaps some good might come from this?

In this framework, George's wife was the property holder and Washington was more like Eisenhower. Jefferson was Slick Willie Clinton for people, not corporations and . . .

Patrick Henry was Jeffery Epstein with a whip and slave patrols wearing "Carnival Barker" Mike Johnson's smarmy face.

Netanyahu broke the ceasefire & killed 104 Palestinians, including 46 children. Israeli soldiers executed a 9 year old boy in the West Bank as he watched a football game—he's the 1001st person they've killed since 10/7.

And corporate media has largely ignored it.

People fail to remember that the "liberty" that Patrick Henry of Virginia was demanding when he misquoted "Give me Liberty or Give me Death" was the privilege to own other people as chattel and forced labor.

That pious "God-fearing man" was the largest slave holder at that time.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

Survivors — and family of survivors — of Epstein and Maxwell's abuse are urging Mike Johnson to swear-in Adelita Grijalva:

"Every day you stall is another day survivors are denied justice, and the American people are denied the truth. Swear in Representative Grijalva and let democracy speak."

After 263 African elephants were moved from one national park to another, the animals began wandering out - destroying property and killing people. My latest for @biographic.bsky.social, on the complexities of conservation in an increasingly crowded continent.

Conservationists seeking to restore elephant populations in a Malawian national park inadvertently upended human lives, revealing the risks of large-mammal translocations.
