A Vietnam veteran suing President Trump over his proposed arch tells his story: "I have a duty as a Vietnam vet, as a survivor, to my buddies buried there, to honor their sacrifice and protect their memory from this vainglorious monument."

So funny because I was told by the people the AI industry is paying that no one cared about AI teapaw.org/m_ccuri/status/2118344…
NEW: The AI industry is scrambling to repackage a $10 trillion infrastructure buildout to appease a hostile electorate, that includes: -No more non disclosure agreements -Money for schools and cities -Environmental concessions -Labor protections -Codified obligations over voluntary frameworks -Job training programs The bottom line: The race is on to see whether Democrats can translate election momentum into binding restrictions or the industry tries to head off tougher rules. axios.com/2026/11/05/ai-data…

A 124-year-old voting ban designed to silence Black Virginians is finally gone. While Democrats took control of both chambers of Congress, governors’ mansions, and state legislatures across the country, Virginia overturned its “Jim Crow-era lifetime ban” on voting for people with prior felony convictions. motherjones.com/politics/202…

Normally I’d say that Kobach could get a job in the Trump admin, but I can hear incoming Senate Judiciary chairman Sheldon Whitehouse laughing already.
Another one I missed last night: Kansas AG Kris Kobach down by 11,000 votes. In 2020, Rs prodded Marshall into the Senate race out of fear that Kobach would win the nomination and blow it. And now they're both #OpenToWork nytimes.com/interactive/2026…

That’s pretty funny. He is a genius financial engineer. The split is great for shareholders. Changes nothing for patients or anyone who pays for insurance or care. He is posturing to be able to say “See, we broke up our company. “. Don’t fall for it @HawleyMO @SenWarren We need to pass the bill now more than ever
CVS CEO David Joyner just said on CNBC that the Break Up Big Medicine legislation by @SenWarren and Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) is one reason he is breaking up his company.

President Trump tonight criticizes the Senate for not making daylight saving time permanent: "Sunset was 5:06 P.M., and it was dark by 5:31 P.M. — Isn’t that ridiculous?"

We're excited that two powerful voices of the type 1 diabetes community will be joining the next Congress. Texas Senator-elect @jamestalarico lives with T1D and New Hampshire Representative-elect @stefanyshaheen has a daughter who lives with T1D. We look forward to working with them and all members of Congress to accelerate cures and improve the lives of the T1D community. #SeeT1D #NDAM #BreakthroughT1D #T1D

Bad policy, bad character make bad politics: erratic tariffs, impulsive Iran war, blanket pardons, apparent corruption, weaponized justice, ICE brutality, mountainous deficits, hiding Epstein, abandoning allies and coddling enemies. Hoping for a course correction, for the country and for my party.
