This is incredible

This story is nuts. "ICE agents then surrounded the judge’s car and demanded everyone to exit the vehicle, threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply."

Remember a few weeks ago when Trump brought in a couple bulldozers and demolished about a third of the White House? That was weird.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

This is an amazing fact

The guy in the green sweater is hanging on for dear life.

Happy Friday, here’s a little excerpt from this week’s Fix The News for you ♥️

Dang - how bad was the Border Patrol invasion in North Carolina? None other than Thom Tillis himself is blasting DHS for gross overreach, and demanding lists of those detained, property damage caused by CBP agents, and their plan for restitution. www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

a year ago the idea of an artificial intelligence chatbot designed to make the richest man in the world sound like a renaissance man no matter what question it was asked would sound like the setup for a black mirror episode. now its reality.

Braver than like 90% of reporters for no reason at all.

Incredible headline.

Google [pointing a gun at your gmail account]: now listen to me very carefully, if you want to keep using this you’re going to keep Gemini on. You love Gemini, everyone loves it, everyone needs it.

Gotta lean heavily into this, which i think they will. Trumps weak and getting weaker. He’s supporting criminal conduct. Time is against him. rollcall.com/2025/11/20/d...

The GOP is stuck with a lame duck dictator. Republicans didn't just lose the shutdown, they are losing the American people, who are increasingly repulsed by Trump's War Within America, and by Trump himself, as I discuss in PN.

hell of a correction, also proof that trump is kinda like a black bear where people think he's fierce (and he can hurt you) but he actually scares off pretty easily

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

"Fear is contagious, but so is courage." Good statement. Trump and Republicans are clearly on the defensive at this point and Trump is acting in desperation literally throwing stuff on his social media platform. Dems shouldn't be giving an inch rhetorically - but also legislatively on the Hill.

The debate over whether he means things like this literally is tangential to the reality that this guy has spent over a decade wondering aloud into the world’s largest megaphone whether anyone among his violent, unstable followers will rid him of these turbulent priests.

with alt text, because everyone deserves a good cry. come over.

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.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

remember this "case" began with DHS press person claiming that multiple vehicles had ambushed and cornered CBP agents in a scene reminiscent of Baghdad 2007

everything that is wrong with Elon Musk can be summed up in the fact that there’s nobody in his life who can sit him down and tell him how embarrassing this is

This remains the most revealing “gotcha” point. Anyone sincerely attempting it is showing off a rather amoral worldview.

CNN: What if there are more names connected to the Democratic Party that come out in the files? CHRIS MURPHY: So what?

If TX is ruled illegal and CA is okay, I will absolutely LOSE IT. Would be one of the funniest things to happen in a while. In soccer, this would be an own goal. Even funnier: if the gerrymander goes through and the Democrats win most of the new districts anyway b/c ICE lost the hispanic vote.

we are returning to the state in which the framers intended for the legislature, in which the lower chamber and the upper chamber absolutely despise one another

So much of this is a catastrophic that he is rapidly approaching Hoover type numbers and there is so far 0 indication they know what to do after him

Both caucuses are fucking furious with the senate this is incredible.

Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

oh my god i take it back, grok is amazing

we're coming up on peak charitable giving season and I cannot make a better argument for giving to Wikipedia than this

It is falling apart before our eyes and a news media that was obsessed with Bidens health and mental acuity is still content to largely just look the other way on the obvious

you can judge the extent of a legal fuckup by the volume of audible laughter coming from the lawyers of bluesky and in this case I think we're at jet engine levels

+14 is completely and utterly breathtaking maristpoll.marist.edu/polls/a-look...

"The media outlets and tech platforms that settled with Trump chose to give him money because they *wanted* to. They could have fought and won, since Trump’s lawsuits (and his lawyering) are universally terrible."

Yeah sure this looks bad for Republicans right now but there’s also a whole extra year for it to get worse

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management. remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say. "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Eleventh Circuit throws out Trump's suit against CNN in a per curiam unpublished ruling. Meaning Trump's arguments were totally meritless, not even worthy of a published opinion. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

some type of shit you’d make 2 years ago making fun of rightwingers

Your regular reminder that eternal one-party domination by Republicans is not inevitable, Trump is not invincible, and when the far right receives even moderate pushback against their terrible ideas, they usually collapse.

Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, heir to the throne of Saudi Arabia and current de-facto ruler of that kingdom, whose word is law and power is unquestioned, is visibly like “whoah dude, dial down the authoritarian thing a bit”

What's amazing here is that MBS looks more uncomfortable about the direction the conversation took than Trump does.

can we appreciate just how badly Johnson and Trump played this Epstein vote? total failure of a pressure campaign, delayed for months to ensure it stays in the news and immediately swamps "the Dems caved" as soon as the shutdown ends, and now it passes 427-1 couldn't have gone worse if they tried

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

Greg Bovino is leading a rebel cavalry terrorizing America—and it's important to recognize that it's in retreat. While the trauma and terror Bovino’s raiders instill is real and damaging, it’s remarkable to note how ineffective the force has turned out to be. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-bord...

It’s difficult to tell whether it’s dementia-based loss of inhibitions when the person was already awful. 🤔

Hello Keith this is your lawyer speaking. I am advising you today to please keep posting this shit
