Jared Kushner is set to go to Abu Dhabi next week to negotiate for the Trump administration.
Unless and until he gets confirmed by the Senate, that's illegal under the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. We sued to enforce the law. axios.com/2026/11/03/us-russ…

Your regular reminder that neither @LaurenKBis or anyone at @DHSgov has ever provided this supposed list of 10 safest cities, nor said which 7 apparently cooperate with ICE.

Lorenzo Salgado was murdered by ICE 4 months ago today.
Texans have been adding their “I voted” stickers to his memorial in Houston.
I just added mine.

Judge Chutkan blocked work on Trump’s stupid arch for two weeks while the court considers challenges to its legality.

A thread 🧵If you wanted to watch seven hours of Fox News personalities losing their ever-loving minds on election night but don't want to waste seven hours of your life I've condensed it for you. Hour 1 - DENIAL - They had no idea what was coming 1/7

The thing about executive orders? The next president can undo them with the stroke of a pen.
The Oval Office belongs to the American people. Not Trump. Not now. Not ever.
Trump signs order preventing future presidents from changing Oval Office bbc.in/4iBDz1j
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The proclamation Trump signed does not prevent future presidents from restyling the Oval Office, and a successor can roll back the proclamation itself, AP reports. pbs.org/newshour/polit…

CNN was scheduled to be today’s TV pool. But the White House blocked us from being allowed in for the president’s event in the Oval Office that’s now underway. That means none of the five networks will have audio or video of his remarks.

Hell of a thing to demand states hand over voters’ personal information and require proof of citizenship, then refuse to vote yourself because you don’t want your address on the very voter rolls you think the federal government should have access to.

Spineless Republicans in Congress refused to ever say no to Trump, so voters said no to them.

this is why I love working at @VanityFair
yesterday, I saw half our staff clustered around our fashion correspondent's desk poring over this photo. As José puts it, "The image has several discrepancies. The style and make of the Chanel Flap bag is inconsistent with others the brand has sold, and the Valentino shoes in question appear askew in proportion; their straps have several punched holes that the authentic Valentino style does not."
AI image detectors confirmed that yes, Olivia Reingold used an AI-generated image to make her point, without a drop of disclosure. Wild!!!!

The Senate wins are just the high-profile prizes. The real opportunities to expand the map are at the state level, where Democrats also made remarkable gains. Hello bigger map.

The knives are out for Vice President JD Vance, and Newt Gingrich just drew his.
ALT Screenshot of an X post by Newt Gingrich (@newtgingrich), verified, posted 15h ago: 'The scale of the Republican defeat is so great that it makes the race for the GOP presidential nomination wide open. If the administration had won a big victory, Vice President J D Vance would have had an enormous argument to be the inevitable nominee. Now, with this go-slow strategy blowing up in Iran and his defense of Vivek Ramaswamy's horrible, inhumane ad featuring his opponent's mother attacking her own daughter, a good bit of the luster has come off the bloom. The number of people who want to draft Secretary of State Marco Rubio is staggering. In addition, Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, Ron DeSantis, Pete Hegseth, Glenn Youngkin, and a surprising number of people may decide this is their chance to take advantage of the chaos of the shocking defeat and seek to be the champion who can rescue the party and the country.'

Zelensky says 43 bodies have been recovered from the rubble of a school struck by Russia in Komyshuvakha, with another 53 people listed as missing. Speaking at the 30th Ibero-American Summit, he said the victims had gathered inside to receive humanitarian aid. Zelensky accused Russian forces of knowing what they were targeting and urged the international community not to remain silent about the attack. #Ukraine

When a congresswoman signaled that Greg Bovino could soon face a congressional oversight hearing, the former Border Patrol commander seized the opportunity to hawk his bourbon brand. The $99 whiskey bottles feature “Chief Bovino” in his government uniform.
Honey, slow your totalitarian roll. Citizens don’t answer to communists in this country as much as you seem to believe that. A bit high and mighty are we; a swan-like song of a bonafide elitist. Tell you what, sugar, uncork a bottle of Commanders Choice ( Commanders-choice.com), take a sip of Americana and check yourself. Don’t worry, it’s keto friendly, except you’ll need to clear your schedule for some gym time for that to work”. @OldPatrolHQ @LaurenWitzkeDE @Highway_30
