Trump called for my arrest, prosecution, and execution. Almost immediately, the threats exploded—against me, my family, and my office. All Americans must condemn this political violence. Listen to some of the actual threats we’ve received:

"Attorneys have to parse the language" Cowardly and dishonest Mike Johnson practiced *constitutional law* before going into politics. He was also the dean of a law school. (In fairness, the school never opened because it was named after a pedophile.)

What Steve Wozniak gets at below is kind of what my book, "Jackpot," is about. So if you're looking for gifts for family /friends... It is said to be a good read. Here's a little taste: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

More and more de facto bribery, yes. But what has really changed is that these people used to give to both parties pretty equally—like, each side had its own billionaires. Now they're just straight up backing the oligarchy machine. No civic duty or social responsibility at all. Zero. Zilch.

Comments on the epidemic of settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank from a retired Israeli Army general as quoted in the Washington Post.

What's happened to X has been a disaster for public discourse in the United Kingdom BUT it is also just very funny to see just how much some people will not really *notice* how degraded their media environment has become.

What the hell: The US accidentally invaded Mexico on Monday, storming a beach and planting DoD “restricted area” signs claiming the land for “the commander,” and triggered a standoff with armed Mexican security forces, all because Trump’s government can’t even identify a border on a map. 🧵 1/

Kash Patel's personal firing of the Pride flag-displaying employee was always absurd and unconstitutional, so I'm glad David Maltinsky is suing, but, wait. It was a flag FLOWN BY THE FBI that was given to him BY THE FBI?! Come on. Complaint: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: This is one hell of an opening paragraph from Jim Comey's attorneys in his motion to get the grand jury materials in the case against him.

Another sign we’re in the second Muldoonist era. This is an engineering response to a policy failure on distributed micro-generation.

Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols. The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

also we now have a “whites only” refugee policy. they aren’t trying to hide the white supremacy anymore. it’s overt and mainstream.

The struggle is real!

This is actually pretty masterful by Elon, because this is the most tempted I've been to return to X (formally Twitter) — just to see how absurdly ridiculous I can goad Grok into being in its sycophancy toward him.

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

In other words, Judge Oldham has a sock puppet account on Bluesky, and Judge Oldham definitely searches for his name on Bluesky, which means that Judge Oldham will see your posts about him on Bluesky. So definitely don't call Judge Oldham a Trumpian hack judge on Bluesky.

Funny how everyone followed the correct procedure so nobody is at fault outside of the police but there's also no need to change the procedures #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Feds now claim a "system crash" that happened immediately after ICE was sued is the reason why 10 days of footage from inside the Broadview Detention Center has been lost. Unreal hearing on this earlier: www.404media.co/ice-says-cri...

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Oh. 👀 When the other group members saw Mills in the hallway with the sex workers, they were furious. Their mission was already sensitive, given the state of the country they were trying to enter. The group decided to part ways with Mills, and Mills appeared to go to Afghanistan separately.

This is legal jargon for "you and your lawyers are full of shit," which is really not something that should happen when the "you" is a federal government agent and the "your lawyers" are the federal government's lawyers.

"The revelations come as Mills finds himself increasingly isolated politically, with a battery of scandals—domestic assault allegations, his military record, and most recently a restraining order for cyberstalking and revenge porn—sparking public rebuke from MAGAfied Republican colleagues."

This is an accidentally honest answer. What she's saying in code is: "The President is a misogynist, petulant bully. You've all seen him be a misogynist, petulant bully. And lots of voters out there are also misogynist or petulant or bullies and that's why they like him."

A judge has ruled that the Pentagon “exceeded the bounds of their authority” by ordering troops into the nation’s capital for “non-military, crime-deterrence missions” without the express permission of the city’s leadership. trib.al/0D6e8P1

Waited all day to read this and it was even better than promised. And comments that anti-trans panics -- and moral panics in general -- are a way to avoid dealing with the far more endemic sexual abuse of girls and women are spot-on.

This opinion comes on the same day that the DOJ dropped ALL CHARGES against a woman shot by a Border Patrol agent 5 times, who DHS accused of ramming a car and pulling a gun on CBP agents. It strongly suggests they couldn't prove it in court and didn't want embarrassing evidence shown publicly.

For example, the incident on October 23 where DHS claimed that Bovino was hit in the head with a rock before he deployed tear gas at protestors? That didn't happen. He fired tear gas and then AFTERWARDS, someone threw a rock. He went back and forth on this under oath, repeatedly changing his story.

Judge Ellis also found that a top CBP leader's testimony was not credible, in part because he admitted that was relying on unreliable "use of force" reports generated by DHS officers — and in a footnote, says video showed an officer asking ChatGPT to help him fill out a use of force report!

In another example of testimony that wasn't backed up by evidence, the head of ICE ERO's Chicago Field Office testified that a protestor had "ripped a beard off an agent's face" and broken part of ICE's building. When questioned, he admitted he had no evidence of this at all.

Judge Ellis says all these errors, no matter how minor, add up. "[A]t some point, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to believe almost anything that [DHS] represent[s]." E.g., a top officer testified protestors had shields with nails in them; there were no nails and mostly it was carboard.

DHS claimed an incident on Oct. 3 showed agents were in danger of being "rammed." In fact, body cams "suggest[] that the agent drove erratically and brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

DHS claimed that on September 26, a DHS officer claimed that they were forced to deploy riot munitions because protestors were "becoming increasingly hostile." In fact, "the [Body Worn Camera] video shows that the protesters were simply standing there when agents first deployed any force."

DHS claimed that agents were forced to use riot munitions to disperse an "unruly mob" on September 19. In fact, "the scene [was] quiet," and then "almost immediately and without warning, agents lob flashbang grenades, tear gas, and pepper balls, stating 'fuck yea!' as they do so."

On October 28, DHS's social media account claimed that on October 23, "rioters" had "shot at agents with commercial artillery shell fireworks," thus forcing agents to deploy tear gas and riot munitions. Judge Ellis reviewed the video. This was completely false. The explosions were DHS's flashbangs!

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos. I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

This notice of "correction" is very lawyered. - No affidavit or declaration by counsel seeking to amend, clarify, or correct representations they made to the court during yesterday's hearing - No assertion that the full grand jury actually saw the 2-count charging document - Etc.

Nikki Haley’s son says naturalized citizens should not be able to hold public office and thinks dual citizenship should be outlawed. His grandparents are from India and his mother dropped her first name Nimarda.

Trump promised to “maybe get rid of FEMA,” but even his own FEMA Review Council said the agency should be stronger and elevated to Cabinet-level. Kristi Noem’s response? Slash their 160-page recommendation to 20 pages and gut FEMA into a grant-writing office.

Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging. Here’s my response:

Pro tip: With Chief Judge Boasberg moving full steam ahead on finding which US officials were responsible for ordering defiance of his order... And whistleblower most likely to testify... Here's where this is heading in significant part: www.justsecurity.org/116777/bove-...

I will confess, I have never seen a situation before where the grand jury never saw the indictment, so the remedy is unknown, but I can’t believe an unseen indictment could be valid. Times www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/u...

Trump filed lawsuits over jokes, tweets, and news articles, but not once over any of the countless allegations of child rape. I feel like more people should mention that.

“Trust us! Marginalising these communities more will absolutely bring down the cost of a KG of Mince and get your job back!”

How it How it’s started going #nzpol

President Donald Trump's Bureau of Labor Statistics has announced there will not be an October jobs report — the first time the monthly data has not been released in 12 years.

Trump has to release the entirety of the Epstein Files. Recall FBI agents were tasked to find and scrub his name. We also have the Epstein estate, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the survivors. He cant escape this.

EVERYBODY with a brain warned him the tariffs were a fucking STUPID idea. His band of ignorant trolls kept telling him what he wanted to hear, while he lit our economy on fire and burned it to the ground.

Also: I still don’t understand what’s going on here! Huh??? 🧐

WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “Reframing the Epstein files as a Democratic hoax is not gonna work… he has a -39 approval on handling the Epstein files… why did he want the files to not come out this badly? Why? Just tell me why?”
