Federal prosecutors leaned on a one-time bodyguard of Omar's for information about her and when he didn't have what they wanted, they indicted him and then dropped charges after DHS began deportation. Now he's in Kenya, separated from his fiancé. nytimes.com/2026/11/11/us/il…

Asked whether he would back Schumer for Majority Leader, Colom replied: “It’s not a good thing that both leader Schumer and leader Jeffries both live in the same borough.”

"Based on AFRICOM’s official numbers, the November 5 strike marked the 91st US airstrike in Somalia this year, more than the US ever launched before 2025, when President Trump shattered the previous record for annual US strikes by launching 124. The previous record, which he set in 2019, was 63. Despite the massive escalation, the US air war receives virtually no media coverage in the US." - @DecampDave for antiwar.com news.antiwar.com/2026/11/10/…

Not long ago, we were told that New York was shifting right as part of a national MAGA realignment. Not long after, we were told that Zohran’s election would polarize the state against progressivism and Democrats.

Democratic candidates currently lead in 48 of 63 districts in the New York State Senate. This will be the largest Democratic majority since 1846, when Democrats held 25 of 32 seats, and the largest majority for any party since 1922, when Republicans held 39 of 51 seats.

Yep. Massive electoral overpeformers like James Talarico ran as far away from Bernie’s message as possible — lambasting a rigged economic system that makes it impossible for working people to get by, calling out the greed of billionaires and advocating raising their taxes, focusing on a top-versus-bottom vs. left-versus-right division, raising the minimum wage, getting big money out of politics… HEY WAIT A MINUTE

My data shows that 78.1% of Democratic Senate candidates in 2026 attacked billionaires, compared to 18.8% in 2024 — a major shift towards economic populism in just over two years @mattyglesias responds by trying to change the subject, instead of acknowledging these facts, which challenge his narrative about good "moderates" vs underperforming "progressives"

This is so asinine — of course moderate Democrats run on some progressive issue positions, that’s why they’re Democrats! The difference is that moderate Democrats have a mix of views rather than uniformly progressive ones. slowboring.com/p/bernie-sand…
