The napping president can’t remember who he pardoned but he calls his predecessor sleepy and accuses him of not knowing who he pardoned.

Trump’s claim he can order strikes on foreign civilians is unconstitutional Nowhere in the Constitution is he given this power, it's a violation of multiple US laws, and there is no precedent in American history I laid it out on @newsnation.bsky.social w/ @chriscuomo.bsky.social👇

Matt Gaetz, James O’Keefe, and Laura Loomer have replaced the Pentagon press corps. I am not kidding. Look at the thread below. One of the military’s most critical lines of accountability is now a closed-circuit conspiracy carousel.

Fortunately, these numbers are small, as they always are with pediatric deaths. There were 109 deaths from infectious disease overall, and of those, 39 deaths were from vaccine-preventable diseases. These numbers will keep going up since we have a group of charlatans in charge of vaccines.

"No one's going to build a factory based on a tariff that's on on Monday, off on... Tuesday, the president's changed his mind by Wednesday, he gets hormonal by Thursday and someone says something nasty in the middle school cafeteria on Friday and they're back on again."

Utterly lawless

Racial profiling is all they do. Lawless.

Russia killed 33 people, including six children, by a missile strike on Ternopil on November 19. 94 more people were injured, 18 of them children. Six people remain missing. Ukrainian rescuers worked for four days at two locations, managing to save 46 people, including seven children.

Reminder: SDNY "was running an active investigation into Jeffrey Epstein[’s] ... coconspirators. In January [2025], SDNY prosecutors were ordered to transfer the Epstein case files to DOJ headquarters in Washington, D.C. ... the investigation into co-conspirators has inexplicably ceased."

The Trump administration has pardoned several criminals, many of whom who have broken the law again. This woman stole money from an employer as a college student. That was 24 years ago. Since then she started a business and a family. Now she is hauled back to country she left as a child in shackles.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

‼️ Friends, this is very important. Please share to whoever this may concern, especially if you are in the United States. Ukraine wants peace. Lasting, just, sustainable peace, and not a pause before the next bloodbath. I cannot stress this enough.

Insanity

this defies parody. also helps explain why Sec Bessent bizarrely blamed immigrants when confronted with a question about high beef prices

It's important to understand what this ad does and why it is so threatening to the Trump admin. It gets to social identity theory, which posits that we have many identities, and the one which is salient in a given context will dictate how we think/behave in a particular situation. 1/

"Paying the blackmailer makes you look like a cowardly mark—both to your audience & to the guy grabbing you by the wallet," writes @lizdye.bsky.social. "With courts announcing they won’t be part of the president's extortion racket, media outlets need to toughen up and quit paying the vig."

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy

There it is. And as expected, overruled by OLC’s “Murder Memo.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Texas' abortion ban has killed yet another woman. Here's exactly what the anti-abortion response will be: They’ll claim doctors were legally allowed to “intervene” or “treat” Tierra Walker with "care." They won't say she could have had an abortion because they don’t believe in life-saving abortions

NEW: Remember that story we broke a few months ago with @propublica.org @texastribune.org? We reported Texas Gov. Greg Abbott did not want to release his office's emails with #Elon #Musk. Well, we have an update. www.kut.org/politics/202... #txlege #FOIA #transparency #Texas

Read @lmcgaughy.bsky.social's thread 👇 And in case you missed the original investigation, start here:

via @kaitlancollins.bsky.social One of the Epstein survivors, Danielle Bensky, says he threatened to withhold care from her mother, who had a brain tumor, and leveraged her brain scans against her while he abused her.

NEW: In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant. She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency. Then she died. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

When you assemble a squad of thugs and tell them they're above the law, don't be shocked if they start behaving as if they're above the law.

NEWS! President Trump urges journalists not to embarrass his guests by mentioning the murders they have committed

“the Trump family’s real estate and other business interests in Saudi Arabia have flourished during his second term.” Nothing to see here www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/w...

He is the pig.

NEW: ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

Trump's corrupt scheme to rig 2026 is suddenly falling apart: *Court strikes down Texas GOP gerrymander *Indiana GOP lacks votes to redraw map *Big Dem win in Virginia could give Ds more seats On the pod, DLCC head Heather Williams is informative on what's next: newrepublic.com/article/2033...

Texas was ordered to revert back to previous congressional maps. See how your district compares to the one a court blocked.

Even the murderer, the guy who ordered the journalist to be executed and dismembered with a bone saw, looks a bit embarassed for our American president.

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

Donald Trump and Greg Abbott played with fire, got burned — and democracy won. This ruling is a win for Texas and for every American who fights for free and fair elections.

Reporter: Is it appropriate for your family to do business with Saudi Arabia while you’re president? The us intelligence concluded you orchestrated the murder of a journalist… Trump: Who are you with? Reporter: ABC News

Note: The court ruled that Texas violated the 14th and 15th Amendments by discriminating on the basis of race when drawing its new Republican gerrymander. So this opinion will not be fatally undermined by the Supreme Court's impending blow to the Voting Rights Act; it has an independent rationale.

Birds of a feather…
