  2. New Deal Emerges to End the Schumer Shutdown, White House Signals Support By Joe Cunningham The Senate is moving toward a potential breakthrough to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, with at least 10 Democratic senators indicating they’ll support advancing a spending package during a rare Sunday session. According to Axios, multiple sources from both parties confirmed that enough Democrats are prepared to advance the legislation, marking the most significant movement toward ending the shutdown since it began Oct. 1. And according to CBS News, the Senate convened at 1:30 p.m. Sunday for the rare weekend session, though no votes were scheduled as of Sunday morning. The emerging deal would include full-year funding bills for three major areas: Veterans Affairs and military construction, Agriculture programs including food assistance, and legislative branch operations. All other government functions would receive funding through Jan. 30. {snip} What Could Still Go Wrong Even with enough Democratic votes to pass, the deal faces pushback. Some progressive Democrats don’t want to vote for any package without guaranteed health care subsidy extensions. They say a promise of a future vote means nothing if President Trump opposes the extension. However, a senior official with the White House has signaled that the president is on board with the current plan. For Democrats, however, there is still hesitation due largely to politics. “I think voters would rightly see it as a surrender,” Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal said before his party’s lunch meeting Thursday https://redstate.com/joesquire/2025/11/09/new-deal-emerges-to-end-the-schumer-shutdown-white-house-signals-support-n2196022
  3. HOW ABOUT THAT: Court Voids Memphis Gun Control Measures, Rules Tennessee’s Preemption Law Actually Means What It Says. In its ruling, the Court made clear that Memphis’ sweeping local gun restrictions were not just unlawful—but entirely void. The following are two major points outlined in the order: The City CONCEDED its ordinance violates state law. Memphis admitted that every line of its handgun-carry ban, vehicle-storage rule, so-called “assault rifle” ban, and red-flag scheme is 100% illegal under Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-17-1314. (Order pp. 3, 9–11) The Judge called the ordinance “DEAD AS A DOORNAIL.” The Chancellor wrote that “The Ordinance and those who proposed it engaged in ‘virtue signaling,’” but “the Ordinance is as dead as a proverbial doornail as a matter of Tennessee law.” (Order p. 6) Simply put, the Memphis ordinance is entirely unenforceable. https://www.shootingnewsweekly.com/gun-control/court-voids-memphis-gun-control-measures-rules-tennessees-preemption-law-actually-means-what-it-says/

  5. "Senate Democrats are about to cave and reopen the government without having gotten anything of substance," tweets Erick Erickson. "They could have done that 35 days ago." Perhaps Democrats have been attempting to stall in hopes that it would enable a Republican-only power move. By not playing ball with Republicans, Democrats have left the other side with the options of allowing the gridlock to continue or attempting a majority-only solution to solve the gridlock. Whether or not that is possible aside, the attempt itself of a Republican majority to move forward without opposition party support may be the outcome toward which Democrats have been funneling their political capital. Minority powers should not be abused. They are there to protect the legislative branch of the government and thereby the people from one-party rule, not for one party to use them to rule. https://twitchy.com/jacobb/2025/11/09/erick-erickson-on-senate-dems-they-could-have-done-that-35-days-ago-n2421457
  6. First Elected Trans Lawmaker Pleads Guilty to Child Abuse Crimes: From Historic Milestone to Prison The first openly trans lawmaker in America from New Hampshire has admitted to horrible abuse crimes against children. Laughton pled guilty to charges in Boston last week. He will now spend decades in prison. That was too kind. https://twitchy.com/justmindy/2025/11/09/first-openly-trans-lawmaker-admits-to-sick-child-abuse-charges-n2421452 It's always the ones you least expect.
  7. . FROM WALL STREET TO Y’ALL STREET: Escape from New York: Bankers flee Mamdani for Texas. “Suddenly you’ll have an exodus of folks who are generating quite a bit of profit,” says investment banker Philip Blancato, chief executive of Wall Street firm Ladenburg Thalmann. “It’s already happening, this is just going to accelerate it.” In response, Wall Street’s top earners are turning to an unlikely corner of the country to shelter from Mamdani’s tax raid: Texas. https://archive.is/wwiUJ

  11. NOW IT CAN BE TOLD: Washington Post editorial says Mamdani ‘drops the mask’ after election win, offers ‘seething’ victory speech. The Washington Post editorial board asserted that a “new era of class warfare has begun” in New York City after Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani won last week’s election — criticizing what it described as his “change in character” since the campaign. In a Saturday editorial titled “Zohran Mamdani drops the mask,” the Post slammed the mayor-elect for his “seething” victory speech, arguing that Mamdani “abandoned his cool disposition” and showed the world what he really stands for. The sub-headline warned, “The mayor-elect divides New Yorkers into two groups: the oppressed and their oppressors.” “Across 23 angry minutes laced with identity politics and seething with resentment, Mamdani abandoned his cool disposition and made clear that his view of politics isn’t about unity. It isn’t about letting people build better lives for themselves. It is about identifying class enemies — from landlords who take advantage of tenants to ‘the bosses’ who exploit workers — and then crushing them,” the editorial board wrote. “His goal is not to increase wealth but to dole it out to favored groups. The word ‘growth’ didn’t appear in the speech, but President Donald Trump garnered eight mentions.” * * * * * * * * In conclusion, the Post argued that you don’t need a college degree to understand the impact that Mamdani will have on New York City — only a familiarity with the city’s history. https://www.foxnews.com/media/washington-post-editorial-says-mamdani-drops-mask-after-election-win-offers-seething-victory-speech If only the Post had aggressive young reporters who could get ahead of a hot story like this!
  12. Scott Bessent Flips Shutdown On Former Clinton Adviser George Stephanopoulos. “The president continues to post about ending the filibuster,” Stephanopoulos began. “Is that the best way to end this shutdown right now? Is that what the administration position is?” “No, George, the best way to do it — and look, you were involved in a lot of these in the ’90s. And you basically called the Republicans terrorists and, you know, you said that it is not the responsible party that keeps the government closed,” Bessent replied. “And so what we need is five brave moderate Democratic Senators to cross the aisle, because right now it is 52 to three — 52 to three — five Democrats can cross the aisle and reopen the government. That’s the best way to do it, George.” “I can disagree with you about the history there,” Stephanopoulos said with a half smile. “We don’t have to get into a history lesson right now —” “George —” Bessent tried to push back. “Let’s talk about —” Stephanopoulos interrupted. “Let’s talk about what’s happening right now.” “If you want, I’ve got all your quotes here,” Bessent offered. “I’m sure you do, but let’s talk about the situation —” Stephanopoulos tried again. “I read your book, so you got one purchase on Amazon this week,” Bessent quipped. “And that’s very much what you said.” https://www.dailywire.com/news/scott-bessent-flips-shutdown-on-former-clinton-adviser-george-stephanopoulos?
