Schumer is worthless

A reference old people would get:Chuck Schumer is so weak, a 98-pound weakling would kick sand in Schumer’s face.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisisFor the millions who will lose coverageFor people with cancer who won't get the care they needFor working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcareWe will keep fighting

Do you understand how angry Democratic voters are right now? We’re tired of seeing Democrats cave in to Trump.

— Harris Levy (@harrislevy.bsky.social) 2025-11-10T02:41:03.566Z

No, you’ll keep caving in to the Republicans. That’s what you do. Step down. We need a leader who can keep the caucus together. Democratic voters are furious tonight. Do you understand that?

Is there anything in the bill that would prevent Trump from using rescissions on the funding? There’s no reason to trust him.

One reason Democrats caved

I think this is a big part of it. Rich people were not affected by SNAP cuts or ACA subsidies but they were inconvenienced by flight delays.

Private donors couldn't fly. It was the airline lobby and the money 💰 handlers The hunger was not moving enough but not having private jets! Oh noWe need to see the Dem Senators public schedules and who they met since the shutdown, especially last week http://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/11/…

My low key conspiracy is that every billionaire democratic donor who saw a flight or a friend's flight out of Tetoboro cancelled on Friday forced this result on Schumer. This was not about helping people it was about helping the donor class not have any minor disruption of their life.

Derrick Henry’s amazing high school statistics

Ravens running back Derrick Henry is one of the best. Read about how great he was in high school. A current back in Indiana may break Henry’s record.

One of my favorite things to do anytime Derrick Henry does something is to go back and revisit his high school stats and laugh at how preposterous they are

Glad to see he didn’t have to split carries by the time he was a senior Good god, this game log could be season stats by a journeyman RB

Kyle Goon: Derrick Henry’s legend started with his high school rushing record. Now he’s cheering for someone to break it.

Right-wing racism against deceased Black veterans

A Dutch province has asked the US ambassador in the Netherlands to return two panels about African American soldiers to the visitors center of the Netherlands American Cemetery, located in Margraten (Limburg). The two panels were recently removed by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC).

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

50 years since the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Gordon Lightfoot wrote a song about it.

Fifty years ago today, Nov. 10, 1975, the freighter SS Edmund Fitzgerald, laden with 26,000 tons of iron ore, sank in an unseasonably early storm on Lake Superior (Gitche Gumee, in Chippewa). All 29 men on board were lost. Two weeks later, Gordon Lightfoot read a Newsweek article about the disaster

— M🍁tthew Hay Br🏈wn (@matthewhaybrown.bsky.social) 2025-11-10T14:46:27.984Z

Here is the Newsweek magazine article that led to the song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," marked up to show key passages that Lightfoot borrowed. Short thread at quoted post. Thanks to @bikeguy.bsky.social for reminding me about this. #EdmundFitzgerald50

Trump administration fake videos

More lies

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com….

Nice detective work by WaPo, finding that DHS viral videos are full of false imagery. http://www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio…

Fake video on Chicago

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”@theguardian.com http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025…

Good story – and as we reported, misleading videos about the Portland protests were also created and posted by the Trump administration itself http://www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio…
