From elsewhere — Sat, 07 Nov 2026 01:21:34 +0000

Mother Jones reports: President Donald Trump is ending a bruising week of electoral humiliation with a clear message: He has no intention of changing tack. In fact, the president appears ready to double down on his worst instincts. “I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, and one of my most trusted advisors, will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026,” Trump wrote on Truth Social....

Before today’s announcement that Stephen Miller is Trump’s new chief of staff, The New Republic reported: After Republicans were soundly defeated in Tuesday’s midterm elections, the GOP’s knives are coming out for Stephen Miller.

Democrats must grasp their chance to launch a foreign policy revolution

From elsewhere — Sat, 07 Nov 2026 01:20:56 +0000

Matthew Duss writes: Tuesday’s election made clear that endless wars, political corruption, and the high cost of living are three of the American public’s top concerns. They are deeply interrelated—and the new Congress must address all three. That will require a true foreign policy revolution that grapples not just with the outrages and failures of the Trump administration’s foreign policy but also with the ways in which past Democratic or Democrat-supported foreign policies have contributed to today’s crisis. There will...

Young voters rose up demanding generational change

From elsewhere — Sat, 07 Nov 2026 01:20:39 +0000

The New York Times reports: Alienated by an older generation of politicians who felt out of touch and irrelevant to their lives, young voters revolted on Tuesday, powering the rout of President Trump’s Republican Party. In swings of monumental proportion, young men aged 18 to 29 veered toward Democratic candidates by nearly 40 percentage points since 2024, according to preliminary results from Times Voter Trends. Young women, who were already inclined to support Democrats, swung by 27 points. In the...

Trump official who wants data centers on public lands has tens of millions invested in AI industry

From elsewhere — Sat, 07 Nov 2026 01:20:23 +0000

By Mark Olalde This story was originally published by ProPublica The Trump administration has likened the need to build out the nation’s artificial intelligence infrastructure to the Manhattan Project, the World War II effort that produced the world’s first atomic bomb. The White House’s point person on the effort, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, has spoken of the “AI arms race” with China as an existential issue for the nation. “AI is manufacturing intelligence, and, if we don’t manufacture more intelligence...

Top RFK Jr. ally strongly criticizes Susie Wiles during Joe Rogan interview

From elsewhere — Sat, 07 Nov 2026 01:20:05 +0000

The New York Times reports: Calley Means, who resigned as a top federal health official two weeks ago after clashing with the White House, on Friday accused President Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, of bowing to “unrelenting” pressure from industry lobbyists while prioritizing political fund-raising over Americans’ health. In a two-hour interview with the podcaster Joe Rogan, Mr. Means said that Ms. Wiles withheld support from his efforts to make children’s diets healthier, citing the need for sugar industry...

You can’t make America healthy by letting polluters off the hook

From elsewhere — Sat, 07 Nov 2026 01:19:47 +0000

Elizabeth Bechard and Celerah Hewes write: One might think, from President Donald Trump’s recent announcement of his administration’s plan to gut federal methane protections, that he was doing everyday Americans a huge favor. He claimed that this action was a win for consumers, but the real winners are polluters. They’ve been handed yet another free pass to keep emitting harmful air pollution without the protections that safeguard our health. The gutting of oil and gas protections should be shocking, but...

The midterms were a thumping rebuke of the U.S.-Israel relationship

From elsewhere — Fri, 06 Nov 2026 01:21:09 +0000

Alice Speri writes: On the eve of a midterm election that ended in an unequivocal rejection of his brand of politics, even Donald Trump seemed to recognize that the US-Israel relationship had become a political liability. Trump’s 11th-hour suggestion, on election morning, that he would cut military aid to Israel at the end of the year because, as he put it, “they don’t need it”, was condemned across the board – with pro-Palestinian advocates dismissing it as “desperate” and pro-Israel...

Large majority of Jewish Americans think Israel and AIPAC drive antisemitism, poll finds

From elsewhere — Fri, 06 Nov 2026 01:20:55 +0000

Middle East Eye reports: A supermajority of Jewish Americans think Israel and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s (Aipac) actions are increasing antisemitism in the US, according to a new poll. The poll commissioned by J Street, a US-based pro-Israel think tank, shows a deep gap between how Jewish American voters view organisations like Aipac and Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, compared to how the state of Israel and its allies in the US portray antisemitism....

Talarico urges Democrats to compete in Texas in 2028

From elsewhere — Fri, 06 Nov 2026 01:20:35 +0000

Politico reports: James Talarico launched his Senate campaign in September 2025 just one day before the killing of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk — a coincidence that he now believes set the tone for his whole campaign. Talarico weighed cancelling the campaign event he had scheduled for that evening; local officials suggested that holding it could pose a security risk. But Talarico went ahead, speaking for just five minutes and using that time not to promote his own candidacy...
