NEW: The @nytimes confirms that ICE deliberately electronically "disappeared" tens of thousands of people in detention and ordered contractors to refuse to reveal where they're held to family or lawyers. 30% of all immigrants detained in ICE jails now have their location hidden.

BREAKING: The New York City Council just approved a ban on surveillance pricing. The measure passed 44-5, and Zohran Mamdani is expected to sign the bill. Companies will no longer be able to charge different prices based on algorithms or New Yorkers’ personal data.

"What do we want?" "Substantial steps toward bringing it about!" "When do we want it?" "In due course!"
BREAKING: Leader @HakeemJeffries announces bold new Democratic agenda: ā€œWe need to take substantial steps toward bringing about universal healthcare — so that every single American in this country can afford to go see a doctor when they need one. We’ve got to get big money out of politics and end Citizens United. We have to prohibit members of Congress from trading stock. We plan to deliver meaningful, bold, transformational change for the American people.ā€

This (not cures for cancer) is the real AI future.
Walmart and Kroger are quietly rolling out an internal store technology across America that could either modernize retail or bankrupt the middle-class family budget. Starting across thousands of locations heading into 2027, traditional paper price tags are being ripped off grocery shelves and replaced with cloud-connected digital screens. Raise the price of bottled water by 20 percent the second the afternoon temperature hits 90 degrees. Surge the cost of ground beef, milk, and sandwich bread between 5 PM and 6 PM when exhausted commuters are rushing home from work. Drop prices at 10 AM on a Tuesday, then hike them right back up the minute the after-school crowd walks through the sliding doors. Every price change happens wirelessly in seconds from a central corporate dashboard. No store employee has to touch a single shelf. Walmart has already signed a massive deployment deal with VusionGroup to wire 2,300 American supercenters with EdgeSense digital shelf rails by 2027. Kroger is expanding its own Microsoft-backed system called EDGE across hundreds of supermarkets. Over 60 million digital price tags are already blinking on US grocery aisles right now. This is not supply chain inflation. This is Uber-style surge pricing built directly into the shelves where Americans buy baby formula, eggs, and medicine. Last week I sat down for coffee with a former retail pricing director who spent 14 years building supermarket margin algorithms before leaving the industry. What he shared over the table completely changed how I look at a grocery aisle. "Retailers just turned static shelves into live stock tickers. The question is not whether grocery chains will use instant price changes, because they already spent billions installing the hardware. The question is how much extra money a family of four will lose every week simply because both parents work until 5 PM and cannot shop during off-peak hours." Here is how the digital grocery pricing system actually works, how it tracks you in the aisle, and the exact phone settings and checkout playbook you need to beat it.

SFPD lied about killing a guy
Video confirms Mission Local's initial reporting: A police officer lunged at a fleeing suspect with a "football tackle," seconds before that man crashed his scooter and died. The SFPD statement omitted any mention of officer contact with the suspect, merely stating he "collided with a street fixture." missionlocal.org/2026/11/vid…

Time and time again, Chuck Schumer has failed to deliver for the working class. There is a long list of reasons why working-people reject his leadership. Write your representative to tell them that working-class Americans reject Schumer for Senate Majority Leader: go.dsausa.org/no-schumer

New York City is on the verge of banning surveillance pricing. As a new Congress weighs how to tackle the affordability crisis, we’re showing what’s possible.

"Chuck and I grew up, literally, in the same [Brooklyn] neighborhood. I am older than Chuck, but we went to the same elementary school, the same high school. We were on the Banking Committee together when I was first elected to Congress. So I have known Chuck for a long time, and I like Chuck, personally. He’s a very nice guy. But, I think, in this moment in American history, Chuck’s views are way out of touch with where the American people are at—and especially with where [the base of] the Democratic Party is. On issue after issue, I think he is just not in tune with where his constituents are at." thenation.com/article/politi…

If anyone wonders why Palantir's CEO just did a softball interview with Politico's softest reporter to kickoff his leftward spin media cycle, keep in mind who he's doing it for. It all goes back to this party leadership fight
Politico: The Tech Right Pivots Left Nowhere is that hard pivot more on display than with Alex Karp, the CEO and co-founder of secretive tech giant Palantir, which bet massively on Trump 2.0 and became an administration darling in the process Inside Palantir’s Manhattan lair, in an exclusive sitdown with Playbook, Karp — who once criticized the Democratic Party as ā€œtotally irresponsibleā€ — deployed the word ā€˜progressive’ eight times to describe his philosophy while acknowledging Democrats ā€˜absolutely’ corrected in 2026 enough to win back his support in 2028. Karp: ā€œI’ve been a Democrat my whole life. I grew up in a far left environment. I know more about being a progressive than almost anybody on the planet, and I absolutely believe Palantir— all of our products are essentially progressive.ā€ Link to article: politico.com/newsletters/pla…

Alex Karp now says that Palantir is progressive, he’s always been a Democrat, Trump went too far on immigration and his primary commitment is to economic justice. LMAOOOOOO
