Details of Trump's campaign operation leak before his 2024 announcement
Off the heels of leading his fascist Republican Party to a third straight shellacking, Donald Trump plans to announce his third run at the presidency tonight — but the details of his campaign structure have already leaked. Spoiler: expect more of the virulent bigotry, ignorance, violence, and outrageous grifting the nation has proven it is beyond sick and tired of.

"We have the votes": Senate tees up vote on marriage equality bill
Fresh off surprise midterm election results that ensured Democrats will retain control the Senate for the next two years, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced the upper chamber will vote today on codifying same-sex and interracial marriage rights. Democrats believe they have the 60 votes needed to overcome filibuster attempts from Republicans stuck in the Stone Age.
Take Action: Reject and disqualify Trump from running for President!
Lauren Boebert’s opponent issues major news on the race
No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen: Big news.
Supreme Court allows House 1/6 committee to subpoena Arizona Republican Party Chair Kelli Ward’s phone records
The decision comes as a major defeat for the MAGA movement since Ward was one of the fake electors who tried to help Trump steal the 2020 election. Her private communications could provide a treasure trove of insight into the disgraced ex-president's attempted coup.

Trump DC hotel receipts expose $10,500-a-night rooms for foreign officials seeking to influence US policy
A shocking (okay, not really all that shocking) new investigation revealed that Trump International Hotel raked in hundreds of thousands of dollars from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, China, and Malaysia, whose governments were lobbying then-President Trump in a blatant bribery scheme to line Donald's pockets in exchange for favorable US policy.
Take Action: Keep Trump off Facebook!
Arizona Democrat Katie Hobbs elected governor over Trump-backed Republican Kari Lake
Kari Lake was one of the most dangerous — and polished — election-deniers running this cycle, and her defeat is a massive win for democracy. While Lake surely won't stop the conspiracy-laden rabble-rousing, her defeat ensures she can't throw the weight of Arizona's executive branch behind any further attempts to overturn future elections.
Take Action: Demand Congress lower drug prices now!
Amazon reportedly plans to lay off about 10,000 employees starting this week
Coincidentally, Jeff Bezos also just announced that he intends to give away most of his money, a blatant attempt to whitewash the fact that he criminally underpays the workers whose labor his entire fortune is built upon. In a just world, he wouldn't have billions to even consider giving away — he would be fairly taxed and would not have the power to suddenly make thousands of people unemployed.
Trump's 'Red Wave' Failed... Why? Americans Hate Fascism
OD Action Partner: Despite humiliating losses; Donald Trump is still poised for a 2024 run. But we could deliver the knockout blow that ends MAGA forever...
Federal appeals court blocks Biden student debt relief program nationwide
The ludicrous decision underlines what a sinister stranglehold right-wing judges have over our government. The injunction will put Biden's transformational program on hold pending an appeal of a lower court ruling that had allowed the debt relief program to go forward. The Biden administration will now likely ask the Supreme Court, where conservatives hold a 6-3 majority, to intervene.
Biden sees no need for a "new Cold War" with China after three-hour meeting with Xi Jinping
Compared to Donald Trump's bellicose rhetoric the change of tone is welcome. The risk of a cold war evolving into a hot war is too great to ignore — a military conflict between China and the US could quite literally end the world.
Officer fatally shoots man who was stabbing himself in Arizona
Once again, poorly trained police responded to an individual suffering in the throes of a serious mental health episode not with help — but with extrajudicial execution.
Trump filing in suit against Twitter compares former president to Galileo
The serial grifter's attorneys want us to believe that Trump's claims of a "rigged election" were as prescient as Galileo arguing that the Earth revolves around the Sun. Delusions of grandeur much? Also, 96% chance that Donald Trump has no idea who Galileo was.

Today’s Action: Text bank for progressive values in Georgia!
As midterm election results continue to trickle in, it’s clear that voters simply were not buying the toxic sludge Republicans were selling. While control of the House still remains too close to call, the disgraced ex-president’s predicted “red wave” was clearly nowhere to be found last week. While Democrats will in fact retain control of the US Senate, one crucial race there remains. Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock’s contest against the observably awful Herschel Walker in Georgia is headed to a runoff in December after neither candidate reached the 50% threshold required to win outright last week.
We’re in the (slightly elongated) home stretch, folks. It’s absolutely critical to stay engaged and involved and keep Georgia blue. We need as many progressives in office as possible to preserve the rights we’ve been fighting so hard for — reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, gun-safety initiatives, justice reform, etc. One more seat in the Senate could mean the difference between advancing our progressive agenda or watching Mitch McConnell obstruct and disrupt any further progress over the next two years. You don’t have to be a seasoned professional or a registered voter in Georgia to join this fight, just be ready to channel the late, great John Lewis and stir up some “good trouble.”
The Georgia Working Families Party is hosting runoff text-banking parties EVERY TUESDAY, 6PM - 8PM EST, until December 6th. You’ll help identify supporters of Warnock as well as talk to on-the-fence voters. People all across the country are able to join in from the comfort of their own home, and there’s more than enough work to go around. Commit to a text-banking shift today!
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition to impeach the judge who interfered in the stolen doc probe to help Trump, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
