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…

Creating a federal film tax incentive won't just boost local economies across the country, but it will also save the movie magic that America is known for.
Republicans, Democrats, film and labor leaders, and workers agree: it's time for Congress to pass a federal film tax credit.

I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

What do some of Tuesday night’s biggest stars – like El-Sayed, Talarico, Jackson, Poindexter, and Forstag – all have in common?
They’re all union members.
This wave was brought to you by union organizing, union voters, and union candidates. huffpost.com/entry/blue-wave…

Atlanta friends dressed as Waymo self-driving cars for Halloween, and even the cops stopped to watch. One of them got stuck in a hedge. Obviously.

This is a despicable betrayal from Rep. Stevens.
Senate Democrats are united in our support for Abdul El-Sayed, because we know he will fight for the economic interests of working families in Michigan, unlike Mike Rogers, who is a tool of Donald Trump and billionaire donors.

DNC Black Caucus chair: “We are dismayed that Congresswoman Haley Stevens has revealed herself to be a sellout who used Black Michiganders for a political stunt. Congresswoman Stevens has lost her way, and Michiganders know that Mike Rogers is a shill for Trump”
