Dem #110, overall #111 -->
The official announcement:
Rep. Serrano becomes Dem #111 to back an impeachment inquiry. He’s the third of the day.
Dem #112 backs an impeachment innquiry:
Eleanor Holmes Norton, D.C.'s delegate, backs an impeachment inquiry. Her support doesn't matter to the overall math because she doesn't get a floor vote -- but she does inside the Democratic caucus.

norton.house.gov/media-center/p…
Dem #113 and a big one: Rep. Jennifer Wexton, frmo a tough swing district.
Wexton is from the VA district previously held by Republican Rep. Barbara Comstock. She's one of a small group of other Dem freshmen who won GOP-held districts to call for an inquiry

The others: Porter, Mike Levin, Rouda, Casten, Malinowski, Pappas, Mucarsel-Powell, Schrier.
ANOTHER BIG ONE: Rep. Engel backs an impeachment inquiry. He’s one of the six chairmen Pelosi tasked with investigating Trump. Dem #114
That means two of the six — Engel and Waters — are publicly advocating for an impeachment inquiry. And Nadler has privately advocated. The others are Schiff, Neal and Cummings.
Engel is also an outsize voice in the NY delegation, which includes a few Dems who haven’t backed an inquiry yet — including Reps. Jeffries, Lowey and Meeks.
DEM #115 is another swing district freshman. Rep. Jason Crow: medium.com/@Rep.JasonCrow…
Judy CHU is the 116th House Democrat to back an impeachment inquiry.

NEW: A week before Donald Trump surged past Hillary Clinton to win the presidency, author Michael Wolff approached Jeffrey Epstein with a proposal to "finish" Trump's candidacy.

"Interested?" Wolff wrote.

Epstein, apparently, declined.

MORE: The emails released by Congress reveal Epstein's vast connections -- and how he used them to track and influence Trump's orbit during his first term.

Epstein's contacst included:
-Larry Summers
-Peter Thiel
-Ken Starr
-Tom Barrack
-Tom Pritzker

Epstein routinely opined to associates about Trump's policy moves , he advised foreign dignitaries and business leaders about Trump and he even tracked Trump's Air Force One travel (to avoid conflicts with his own frequent flights from S. Florida .politico.com/news/2025/11/1…

The emails released today shed new light on Epstein's vast influence network — foreign leaders, political bosses, billionaire executives, journalists, government officials — and how he used them to track and affect Trump's first term.

Some of the exchanges are extraordinary...
NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi

politico.com/news/2025/11/1…Image
@nahaltoosi In other emails, Epstein described his relationships with foreign leaders, advised Steve Bannon on how to increase his influence in Europe and offered his (mostly, but not entirely, dim) assesment of Trump to those who asked. politico.com/news/2025/11/1…

Judge Murphy cites to my Oct. 31 story about the extraordinary, one-sided rebuke judges have given to the Trump administration's policy of mass detention for immigrants facing deportation proceedings: more than 100 judges had ruled against the administration in around 200 cases.

The stats from two weeks ago included judicial rejections from :
-Biden appointees (50)
-Obama appointees (31)
-Trump appointees (12)
-George W. Bush appointees (12)
-Clinton appointees (6)
-Reagan appointees (2)

Compared to two judges who sided with the administration:

-Obama appointee (1)
-Trump appointee (1)

However...

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
In the last two weeks, the number has skyrocketed in similarly lopsided ways. The current count, as of yesterday:

140 judges have now rejected the administration's policy of mass detention without bond — in at least 335 cases. The updated states, by my count:

Biden appointees: 60
Obama appointees: 38
George W. Bush appointees: 14
Trump appointees: 14
Clinton appointees: 10
Reagan appointees: 2
George H.W. Bush appointees: 2

Five judges have now sided with the administration

Obama appointees: 1
Trump appointees 4
No appeals court has weighed in yet, which led one judge to plead that litigants seek a higher court's judgment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image

NEW: Two federal prosecutors who characterized the Jan. 6 attack as a "mob of rioters" were placed on leave this morning.

Confirming @kfaulders
@alex_mallin

politico.com/news/2025/10/2…Image
The sentencing memo by Carlos Valdivia and Samuel White noted that Taylor Taranto, pardoned by Trump but facing sentencing for other crimes, spread "conspiracy theories" about the attack. It also noted that Taranto stalked Barack Obama's neighborhood after Trump posted (and Taranto reposted) his address on Truth Social. politico.com/news/2025/10/2…Image
UPDATE: The original sentencing memo has been removed from the court docket, an unusual maneuver as new prosecutors take over the case.

BREAKING: Judge Immergut has called a 10PM (ET) hearing on Trump's effort to circumvent her National Guard order by calling up California troops.
NEW: Judge Immergut could quickly halt Trump's deployment of CA guard troops to Portland, a workaround that tested her warning that Trump's initial callup was illegal and based on false claims about the unrest facing ICE.

politico.com/news/2025/10/0…
@joshgerstein @jonesblakej UPDATE: Hegseth today called up 400 members of the Texas National Guard, with Gov. Abbott's apparent permission, to be deployed "where needed, including in the cities of Portland and Chicago." politico.com/news/2025/10/0…Image

BREAKING: A federal judge has granted a restraining order blocking President Trump's call-up of the National Guard in Portland.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
Judge IMMERGUT, a Trump appointee to the bench, ruled that Trump's call-up was based on false claims about unrest in Portland and that Trump's own statements were "simply untethered to the facts." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
MORE: Immergut issued a stark warning that the efforts by Trump to make a bad-faith justification to call up the guard risked plunging the country into a form of unconstitutional military rule.
