Now we know why Trump sent a desperate call last night for MAGA to vote early in Tennessee’s 7th district. A new poll shows Democrat Aftyn Behn is within striking distance of winning Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District and she is doing it without corporate PAC money or AIPAC money. The Emerson College and The Hill survey puts Republican Matt Van Epps at 48% and Behn at 46% which is well within the margin of error. When undecided voters are included the race remains just a 2 point difference making this a true toss up. Behn is running a fully grassroots campaign rejecting all corporate PAC donations and refusing AIPAC money. Because of that stance she has been endorsed by @trackaipac which supports candidates who do not take pro Israel lobby funding. The poll was conducted November 22 to November 24 2025 among 600 likely voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 points. Trump carried Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District by about 22 points in the 2024 general election.

U.S. immigration authorities have detained a woman who is the mother of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s nephew according to a source familiar with the arrest. The Department of Homeland Security identified the woman as Bruna Caroline Ferreira. Karoline Leavitt’s brother Michael Leavitt confirmed the arrest in an interview with ABC New Hampshire station WMUR saying she was detained a few weeks ago. Michael Leavitt told WMUR that his 11 year old son has lived with him since birth but said the child has continued to maintain a relationship with his mother. A DHS spokesperson said Ferreira is a Brazilian national describing her as a “criminal illegal alien” who previously had an arrest for battery and overstayed a visa that expired in 1999. Her lawyer says she entered the country legally and has no criminal record. Did they call ICE on her brother‘s ex? 😭😭

Dylan Blaha, a combat veteran and former cancer researcher who is a Democratic Socialist, is running in the Democratic primary for Illinois’s 13th Congressional District. He is challenging Rep. Nikki Budzinski, who has received $234,350 dollars in AIPAC aligned donations according to Track AIPAC . Blaha says he is running to protect workers, restore democracy, and reduce the influence of dark money in politics. Blaha is one of the only candidates with a plan for regulating artificial intelligence. He argues that artificial intelligence is powerful and transformative but warns it can harm workers and weaken basic rights if it is not properly controlled. His campaign has stated publicly that he is rejecting support from the Israel lobby and corporate super-PACs. His Primary is March 17, 2026. #illinois #illinois13

These are the voices that Bari Weiss, speaking at the Jewish Leadership Conference, described as the “centrist” figures America needs to elevate. Alan Dershowitz is an 87 year old attorney best known for his longstanding association with Jeffrey Epstein. Dana Loesch is a former NRA spokesperson known for some of NRATVs most inflammatory moments: putting KKK hoods on Thomas & Friends characters, threatening journalists and saying their “time is running out,” comparing gun-storage laws to “shaming a rape survivor,” and falsely claiming that Women’s March co-chair @lsarsour Linda Sarsour wanted to impose Sharia law in the U.S. Sitting beside Weiss onstage was Ben Shapiro, who is now trying to rebrand himself as a “centrist” despite a long career defined by fringe and Far Right Zionist positions including supporting the Iraq War, mocking poor Americans as “bad decision makers,” describing LGBTQ Americans as having a “mental disease,” making numerous anti-Arab remarks throughout his career and has referred to climate change as an “apocalyptic cult.” This is the new “center “ they want to normalize in America and your best bet is to turn the TV off. #CBS #BoycottCBS #politics

A group of Democratic Senators & Bernie Sanders, calling themselves the Fight Club, is pushing back against Senator Chuck Schumer over how he is handling the 2026 Senate elections and his approach to President Trump. The group includes Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, and Heinrich according to a New York Times article. They formed this team because they believe Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand are helping establishment aligned candidates in key primaries in Minnesota, Michigan, and Maine instead of letting voters choose freely. The senators say party leadership is stuck using an old strategy that drains energy from the Democratic base and ignores candidates who are willing to challenge corporate interests and confront Trump directly. Schumer and Gillibrand responded by saying they are focused on choosing candidates with the best chance to win tough races, even though some high profile Democrats such as Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton have also lost difficult contests. The Fight Club has already taken action with a joint endorsement of Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota and is preparing more coordinated moves to challenge Schumer’s failed leadership. #dems #democrats #primaries

Curtis Sliwa pushed back after disgraced Andrew Cuomo said he would have won the mayor’s race if Sliwa had dropped out. Sliwa said Cuomo simply cannot accept losing and is blaming others instead of taking responsibility. He also said alleged sexual harraser Cuomo’s math does not make sense. Mamdani beat Cuomo by about 9 points, and even if every single Sliwa voter switched to Cuomo, Cuomo still would not have won. Sliwa told Politico that Cuomo should take “remedial math courses,” saying the numbers clearly show Cuomo would have lost no matter what. Does he need help with addition? He added that not all his voters would have supported Cuomo anyway, and many of them would have stayed home instead. Should Cuomo move to Florida and leave us alone?? #cuomo #sliwa #nyc #newyork #nyc

A federal judge has thrown out all criminal charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James. On Monday, the judge ruled that the prosecutor who brought the case, Lindsey Halligan, was illegally appointed and therefore had no authority to pursue the indictments. The cases against both James and former FBI Director James Comey were dismissed without prejudice, meaning they could legally be refiled by a properly appointed prosecutor. #dems #democrats #politics

According to Newsweek, Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (known as DOGE) may have cost taxpayers more money than it saved. DOGE was sold as a massive anti-waste initiative, with Elon Musk promising up to Trillions in ✨savings. ✨ DOGE has now been dissolved and taxpayers may ultimately be left with a HUGE net loss. #gop #maga #doge #elonmusk #dumbass

According to Punchbowl News, several GOP lawmakers have privately said they are so frustrated with the chaos in Congress, the nonstop internal fighting, the low morale, and the feeling that the Trump White House and House leaders do not respect them that they are considering leaving before their terms end. Some members say they feel powerless, ignored, and fed up with a Congress that spends most of its time on symbolic votes instead of real lawmaking. Because Republicans only have a tiny majority, even one or two early retirements could cost them control of the House before the 2026 midterms. How will Democrats mess this up? #gop #republicans #politics

According to Axios, DNC chair Ken Martin and other top Democrats are quietly exploring ranked choice voting for the 2028 primaries the same system that helped elect Zohran Mamdani in NYC. Supporters say it would unite the party, cut down on “wasted” votes, and give grassroots candidates a fairer shot. Rep. Jamie Raskin told Axios the system “favors positive politics rather than negative politics,” helping avoid the bitterness of past primaries like in 2016. Some DNC members, however, warn it could complicate voting and drag out the process. The plan would still need major approval from national and state parties to move forward. Do you prefer ranked choice voting system or do you prefer a plurality voting system ?

New emails show that Jeffrey Epstein was secretly working with former Trump chief of staff Steve Bannon on a documentary to repair Epstein’s image, right up until the moment Epstein was arrested. Epstein planned the film to counter Netflix’s Filthy Rich. Bannon was not just advising him. He was arranging interviews, discussing strategy, and even planning to film on Epstein’s private island. Hours before the arrest, Bannon asked if they could shoot at eleven in the morning. Epstein suddenly texted “All canceled,” then went silent as he was taken into custody. The emails also show writer Michael Wolff coaching Epstein on how to handle Trump and giving him media advice. Publicist Peggy Siegal also checked with Epstein and Bannon after Netflix asked her to appear in the series. The emails reveal that Bannon had a much deeper relationship with Epstein than he has admitted and at the same time he has been one of the loudest voices demanding the release of the Epstein files, even as these messages show his own heavy involvement with Epstein behind the scenes. Do we need to check Bannon’s hard drives? #epstein #bannon

Sen. John Fetterman’s new memoir is debuting with very weak sales. Alex Shultz of Defector Media called bookstores across Pennsylvania and found almost no demand. A Barnes & Noble in York reported zero copies sold, while the Philadelphia location sold only two. Some independent bookstores refused to stock the book, and others said interest was only “lukewarm.” Online performance was also low, with the memoir ranking as far down as No. 82,145 on Amazon. The declining enthusiasm circles back to the Senators betrayal of the Progressive base that got him elected. He betrayed them and now they’re not showing up for him. Maybe stop the clown show and lose the hoodie. Nobody’s buying the act anymore. #fetterman #loser

Senator Ron Wyden released a report saying J. P. Morgan Chase failed to report more than $1 billion in suspicious transactions tied to Jeffrey Epstein. The bank only filed full reports after Epstein’s 2019 arrest, even though internal records showed years of warning signs. Emails suggest the bank delayed because it wanted to keep Epstein’s business referrals. Wyden says the findings warrant a criminal investigation, and Congress has already subpoenaed the bank for more records. #epstein #chase

Trump wrote on Truth Social that several Democratic lawmakers committed “seditious behavior” and that this crime is “punishable by death.” The lawmakers had simply reminded U S troops that they must refuse unlawful orders, which is standard military law. Trump also shared a post that said, “HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD!!” This comes weeks after Republicans mourned Charlie Kirk’s killing and demanded an end to political violence. Trump is now encouraging the same violent rhetoric his party pretended to condemn but they will never call him out because they’re cowards. #gop #trump #terrorist

Israeli strikes have killed at least 32 Palestinians across Gaza according to CNN. The Palestinian Ministry of Health said that 12 children and 8 children were amongst the dead. The strikes occurred from Wednesday into Thursday morning. The IDF claims that they carried out strikes on Hamas targets after “several terrorists” fired at IDF soldiers in Khan Younis. No IDF soldiers were injured according to the IDF. Hamas rejected the IDFs account and condemned the act as a “dangerous escalation.” The latest death toll figures now amount to 312 dead Palestinians since the ceasefire has been brokered.

Back in September, Rep. Sheila Cherfilus McCormick filed a lawsuit in Broward County accusing her primary opponent @realelijahmanley of defamation, libel and cyberstalking. In the complaint, she claimed Manley made false statements suggesting she was corrupt, under investigation and involved in serious ethical violations. According to the lawsuit, Manley posted an Instagram video saying “You cannot fight corruption with more corruption or with representatives who are themselves under investigation for serious ethical violations.” The lawsuit also cites Manley claiming she “took $5.7 million dollars from taxpayers,” “committed crimes,” and “took your money to chase power.” She further accused Manley of writing a letter to the Sun Sentinel saying she brought ethical and legal scandals to Congress and had steered taxpayer money to a company tied to her campaign, accusations she called completely false. Cherfilus sought more than $1 million dollars in damages, saying Manley’s statements exposed her to public hatred and ridicule, caused emotional distress and harmed her public and private reputation. But now, months later, the federal government has indicted her. Prosecutors say she misused millions in federal funds, allegations that closely resemble the claims she sued Manley for making. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #florida

On this day in 1945, the world began the Nuremberg Trials, one of the most important moments in modern justice. After World War II ended, the Allied powers created the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg, Germany, to hold Nazi leaders accountable for the crimes that killed millions. The court was made up of representatives from the United States, the Soviet Union, France and Great Britain. It was the first time major world powers came together to prosecute wartime atrocities. Top Nazi officials were charged with war crimes, crimes against humanity and crimes against peace. One key principle was that following orders is not a defense and leaders can be held personally responsible for their actions. By the end of the main tribunal, twenty two Nazi leaders were tried. Twelve were sentenced to death. On October 16, 1946, ten of the architects of Nazi policy were hanged. Hermann Goering, described at sentencing as the leading war aggressor and creator of the oppressive program against the Jews, committed suicide by poison the night before his execution. Thousands of lower level German and Axis personnel were then tried in additional courts throughout Germany into the 1950s. These later trials resulted in the convictions of 5,025 people and the execution of 806. #nuremberg #nazis

White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett says the October jobs report will be incomplete because the record 43-day government shutdown stopped officials from collecting key data. The report will show how many jobs were added, but it will not include the unemployment rate according to Reuters. Do you guys buy this or are they hiding a disaster?

The Senate has officially approved the House’s Epstein Transparency Act and sent it to President Trump. The bill forces the Justice Department to release all of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Once enacted, the Attorney General would be required to have the materials publicly available within 30 days. • The House voted 427–1 on this bill. • The legislation passed the Senate by unanimous consent and will be signed by the President. Now the question is whether Trump will veto the bill. #epstein

Hakeem Jeffries is responding after his name surfaced in a 2013 fundraising email that Jeffrey Epstein received from the political consulting firm Dynamic SRG. The email promoted Jeffries as a rising Democratic star, even calling him “Brooklyn’s Barack,” and invited recipients to contact the firm if they wanted to attend a Democratic fundraiser or “get to know Hakeem better.” The message was not written or sent by Jeffries, and there is no evidence he ever met Epstein, contacted him, or received donations from him. Jeffries told CNN he had “no recollection” of the email and stressed he has no relationship with Epstein. “I’ve never had a conversation with him, never met him, know nothing about him other than the extreme things he was convicted of,” he said. Jeffries also said he fully supports releasing all Epstein related files for the sake of the survivors. #epstein #jeffries

Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summers resigned from the OpenAI board on Wednesday, just days after Congress released thousands of documents showing he had a close and long running relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted sex offender. The released emails included hundreds of exchanges between the two men, revealing personal conversations and frequent contact over many years. Summers is a Democrat who served as Bill Clinton’s Treasury Secretary and Barack Obama’s National Economic Council director. He said on Monday that he is stepping back from all public commitments so he can “rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me.” Meanwhile, Harvard University has launched a formal investigation into Summers’ ties to Epstein. #epstein

On this day, November 19, 1863… President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address, one of the most important speeches in American history. In just a few lines, he honored the soldiers who died in the Battle of Gettysburg and explained why the fight had to continue, so the fallen would not die in vain, the nation could experience a “new birth of freedom,” and democracy would endure for future generations. The Battle of Gettysburg was the turning point of the Civil War. It stopped the Confederacy’s invasion of the North, inflicted losses the South could not replace, and gave the Union a much needed morale boost, shifting the momentum of the war in the Union’s favor. At the time, the speech was not widely recognized as significant. It was only years after Lincoln’s death that Americans came to understand its power, clarity, and lasting meaning. #lincoln #gettysburg #ushistory
