Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

The aim was to feed names of noncitizens into an FBI watchlist. Memos show the project unraveled after a chain of mismanagement and oversight failures. Nearly 800 files broke rules meant to stop US intelligence agencies from surveilling Americans. Free to read: www.wired.com/story/dhs-ke...

NEW: DHS secretly obtained Chicago police data on 900 residents accused of gang ties. It was quietly deleted after intelligence officers violated rules against domestic spying. The handoff came well after city inspectors formally announced CPD's gang data was deeply flawed and infected w/ bias.

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

In 1999 Tucker Carlson called out Pat Buchanan’s conspiratorial antisemitism for the toxic threat it posed to American politics. Today he’s giving softball interviews to straight up neo-Nazis like Nick Fuentes who make Pat seem quite tame in comparison. youtu.be/AC9QBYdInJk?...

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

Here's a massive scoop from Ed showing OpenAI has been lying about their revenue for years

Bluesky says it suspended author Sarah Kendzior because she was "expressing a desire to shoot the author of an article." But there's more to the story:

What a thrill to be part of @talkingpointsmemo.com's series about the past 25 years of digital media! I wrote about why private equity goons destroyed Deadspin and why it matters.

We went a couple of weeks where the government was de facto, but totally unconstitutionally, run by a triumvirate of the VP, speaker of the House, and chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and we all just shrugged and muddled through and then pretended it hadn't happened.

I swear to god, if I have to carry one more thing “across many verticals…”

My dad was a con artist, and I am kind of sad that he didn’t get to live in what would have been his golden age.

Where does a Larry Summers go? Like, what is the career purgatory for a Larry Summers? Is there a Newsmax for whatever Larry does?

The Trump regime is declaring that funding for the CFPB is illegal. Remember: This is the agency that protects Americans from financial predators. Anti-CFPB oligarchs, who spent millions to re-elect Trump, will now have an easier time padding their pockets by ripping you off.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

obviously if you know anything significant about the NYT handling of that reporter’s relationship with Epstein, i’d be down to hear all about it. signal in bio. anonymity offered.

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 www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

They're calling it "the most Sent from my iPad email of all time"

Steve Bannon? The podcaster?

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

Oh no. Not the pristine reputation of Michael Wolff.

President Donald Trump has 38 months left in office and — as his occasional pining about an unconstitutional third term attests — is loath to be a lame duck anytime soon. But the quacking from others has begun. w/ @allansmith.bsky.social www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Y'all, my plan to be useful in the economic apocalypse are coming into focus. I will teach people how to make fresh pasta for 100,000 of whatever we're using as wasteland currency.

Our foreign policy, if that is still the right concept, has three pillars: alienate allies, encourage enemies, and take bribes.

You do a job that was once three jobs and are being told by the people who created that problem that AI will alleviate the problem they created.

All wrong, all wrong, all wrong.

A book that sort of helped me organize the present by explaining the past is Kurt Andersen's "Fantasyland." It's an entertaining look at the huckster/snake oil thread that run through this nation from its founding to the present.

This is really good TV reporting.
