Local activists expected a big crowd but turnout was sparse. My @AJC colleague Fletcher Page snapped this photo from his perch across the arena shortly after the event started.

Cat version of Trump and Pope. 🤭

TRUMP’S WAR WASN’T ON THE BALLOT Even JD Vance on Tim Dillon’s show (10/31/24) opposing war with Iran: “Our interest… is in not going to war with Iran.” And yet… here we are. FUND: #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar

70% of U.S. farmers are currently unable to afford all the fertilizer they need, per a new American Farm Bureau report. This comes as Trump's Iran war has skyrocketed fertilizer prices.

Farmers voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump. The Farm Bureau reports today that farmers can't afford to buy the fertilizer needed for this year's crops.

New footage shows Arkansas principal Kirk Moore lunging at a school shooter, helping save students’ lives. A real hero

"The broad erosion in support is now threatening MAGA's foundation. "A new CBS News/YouGov poll found Trump's approval among white voters without college degrees—the backbone of his movement—has swung from +36 early in his term to underwater at -4, a 40-point collapse."

NEW: Prosecutors from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office showed up unannounced Tuesday at the construction site for the Federal Reserve’s headquarters renovation, a new provocation in their investigation of the central bank. They were turned away. wsj.com/us-news/law/je…

“Take the country back” from who?

JD Vance: Stopping funding for Ukraine is one of the things I’m proudest we’ve done in this administration.

100% of the U.S. Senators who committed a multi-billion dollar Medicare fraud are named Rick Scott.

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration has fired 113 immigration judges since last January… without due process, explanation, or stated cause. And this isn’t just unusual… it’s almost unheard of. Immigration judges are typically protected by strict hiring and removal standards, meant to preserve independence in the system. So, seeing this many removed, in such a short time, is raising serious alarms. Jeremiah Johnson, a former immigration judge in San Francisco, told the New York Times: “On Nov. 21, I heard my afternoon case. It was a family of four Indigenous Guatemalans, a mother and father and two children. They were refugees who had suffered physical abuse. The father’s leg had been broken, and his brother had been killed. They were targeted for their race and ethnicity. They had a fear of persecution, based on past persecution, which the government didn’t rebut. I granted them asylum. DHS waived the appeal. My last words on the bench to that family were: You’ve been granted asylum in the United States. That decision is final. Welcome to the United States. One of the kids — I think he was in fifth grade — jumped up and clapped his hands together. Later, I went to my office and signed onto my computer and found out I’d been fired. I was escorted out without time to print the letter they sent.” This is why what the Trump administration is doing has never been about “the worst of the worst” or “doing it the right way.” It’s about who the government believes deserves to be here… and who it decides doesn’t. And when you follow that pattern long enough, it stops looking like isolated decisions, and starts looking like a system built around white supremacy.

Lawrence O’Donnell: “Where was Donald Trump during this weekend’s negotiations with Iran? In another sign that Donald Trump is mentally ill, he was at a UFC festival in Miami because Donald Trump doesn’t even know how to fake being presidential in a time of war or ever. And Donald Trump doesn’t know how to fake at least appearing to be sane”

ICE pepper sprayed and body-slammed 80-year-old Santa Barbara attorney Doug Hayes for confronting masked federal thugs in public. An old man spoke up. They answered with chemical spray and brute force. We asked PAXIS.app for its thoughts: Strip away the badge and acronym and what’s left is simple: cowards hurting an elderly man because they could. That is not law enforcement. That is state-sponsored bullying by armed men too weak to show their faces. FIGHT TRUMP, FIGHT ICE, FIGHT FASCISM: gofundme.com/f/PAXIS

"It's her who's unacceptable" -- Trump in a new interview today attacked Italian Prime Minster Giorgia Meloni for criticizing his attacks on the Pope

The CBO confirms we will have 10 million MORE uninsured by 2034 because Republicans are funding the Iran war instead of healthcare. This is deliberate policy cruelty. American lives matter more than military aggression. America deserve better. #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar
