As I note in this vid and this post, Tom Massie still plans on impeaching Whiskey Pete next week. And because right wingers want to claim ONLY Iran is why they got ass-handed, they're sort of interested in scapegoating Whiskey Pete. emptywheel.net/2026/11/04/w...
Bennie Thompson didn't just order Markwayne to preserve docs, he demanded the backlog of requests by December 2. democrats-homeland.house.gov/imo/media/do...
Incidentally, among the people we're THRILLED were elected to the Senate yesterday, there's a 69-yo (Cooper) and a 73-yo (Brown).
Imagine how fun it'll be for @raskin.house.gov to subpoena everyone Trump has pardoned, from Roger Stone to that corrupt Venezuelan guy who paid Habba $50M to find out what the quid pro quo was.
Trump wants the GOP to use reconciliation to fund his ballroom and arch but it's not clear the sore losers want to come to work anymore. [The rest of the article provides important background on funding and NDAA.] www.politico.com/news/2026/11...

Don't forget that Thiel spoke against the war. Yeah, JD is trying to position for a POTUS run. But that run will be at the behest of Thiel.
Literally the first thing Jeffries said in his interview was Blitzer was they need to end the war. First thing.
Again, govt has to be funded in 36 days. This leverage is NOT just in January.
And now he and Talarico have blue slips to try to shift the judiciary back. [corrected]
Wrote this bc it's genuinely useful to remember that BEFORE DEMS TAKE THE MAJORITY they will 1) have an impeachment (of Hegseth, over Iran, by Massie) and 2) have budget discussions (with Susan Collins), which gives them leverage. emptywheel.net/2026/11/04/w...
Given report that DOJ sent out target letters, I want to again call out @patrickhealynyt.bsky.social for playing the role in Trump's criminal conspiracy to steal an election that Fox News did in 2020 -- Exacerbated by real problems with the way you referred to Elias. emptywheel.net/2026/11/01/n...
DOJ tried to submit its exhibits from the hearing in the Floris case (the two FBI people whose charge for false statements was dismissed). Even THAT was consistently beyond DOJ's ability. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Here's how John Bolton's assistant, Christine Samuelian, described the Iranian hack in her leniency letter. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Heidi Beirich submitted her own vindictive prosecution motion yesterday in SPLC case. She lays out compelling evidence they targeted her bc SPLC started focusing on Christian Nationalist hate under her. emptywheel.net/2026/11/03/d...
DOJ Prosecuted SPLC for Fraud to Exact Revenge for Charlie Kirk emptywheel.net/2026/11/03/d...
The other day I saw some asshole diminishing the burden of this prosecution for @katmabu.bsky.social (and, it should be said, Cat Sharp, who dropped her race for local office) on her run. There's abundant reason to believe that Mike Davis decided to target Kat, and DOJ made that happen.
And the Republican Delegate from Guam has already lost their seat.
Remember how DOJ superseded the SPLC to include Heidi Beirich (on the Unite the Right anniversary). Well, that gives defendants a second chance to argue vindictive prosecution. legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...
Speaking of Darcy, here's how he describes the dilemma the Murdochs face, as Trump becomes an anvil. Note that they think impeachment could revive the network. www.status.news/p/fox-news-m...
