63% of Harvard undergraduate respondents say Harvard should divest from companies and institutions operating in Israel.
23% said No.

70% say Harvard should disclose such investments.
19% said No.

Huh — Marjorie Taylor Greene says she doesn't want "to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms. And in turn, be expected to defend the President against impeachment after he…tried to destroy me."

…Any reason she assumes Trump will soon be impeached?

Trump smiled at Mamdani in a way he never has with JD, meanwhile he's outside the room grasping for any possible way to still glaze him looooool

So how'd that go

"The better he does, the happier I am," Donald Trump says about Zohran Mamdani as he congratulates him.

Trump speaking with a warm tone towards the new mayor of New York City.

Days after Donald Trump hosts MBS, he says Democratic veterans in Congress urging US service members to not obey illegal orders are engaging in seditious behavior "punishable by DEATH!"

Happening in minutes: We are speaking to Sami Hamdi — the UK journalist targeted by Trump's ICE agents *hours* after he addressed a crowd and urged the US to be "America First" and not "Israel First."

Join us in our town hall, where you can ask him questions too:

Question: You wanted to vote "No" on the "Epstein hoax" & then you flipped—

Republican Troy Nehls: We all did…

Q: Thoughts on Trump's birthday note to Epstein?

Nehls: He's the greatest thing since sliced bread…you're going to tell lies

Q: Was the note a lie?

Nehls: You need therapy

As Cory Booker visits New Hampshire, this @imeupolicy.bsky.social ad is airing:

"When a majority of Senate Democrats voted to block Trump’s weapons giveaways to Israel, Senator Booker voted with Republicans to keep the weapons flowing…Booker isn’t fit to be the Democratic nominee for president."

NEW — Rashida Tlaib and 20 other members of Congress have introduced a resolution to officially recognize Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people.

It notes that between 10/23 and 11/25, the US sent $21,700,000,000 in military aid to Israel and authorized $30,000,000,000+ in new weapons deals.

🚨 An example from newly-released files showing how consultants sought to influence Google search results — burying articles about Jeffrey Epstein being a "billionaire pedophile" or having a "diary of his under-aged victims" & then boosting articles about his philanthropy
November 12, 2025 at 10:25 PM
🚨 Files show consultants influencing Google results to minimize negative coverage on Jeffrey Epstein, per reporter Dan Boguslaw.

"We will see our properties shoot up due to the…reinforcement we can provide from sites like Harvard, Nat Geo, and any other publications we have influence over."

27 years old. Is this thing on
November 12, 2025 at 2:50 AM
Huh — Twitter is putting this post about a child who was killed by Israeli forces behind a content warning, limiting access to it.

…And then when you try to appeal it, it just takes you to a broken link.

Val Hoyle:
"As a proud 3rd generation union member, I’ve walked a lot of picket lines and been part of supporting my union leadership in negotiations.
If my leadership caved after a 40 day strike & got nothing in return, they would be voted out immediately.

Pelosi never would have let this happen."

New — Israeli forces just killed this Palestinian boy.

Last month, he and his family were harvesting olives. Soldiers bombarded them with tear gas, making him collapse.

He was in critical condition until today.

He is the 47th kid killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers in the West Bank this year.
