The Trump administration has renamed the U.S. Institute of Peace after President Donald Trump, despite an ongoing fight over the institute's control. n.pr/48Oegp8

⚡️Pope Francis left funds in his will to buy ambulances for Ukraine, nun says. "He did tell me, in our meetings, that he would help me in some way, but I didn't imagine he would do it like this," Dominican nun Lucia Caram said.

You can’t tell if someone is disabled just by looking at them. There’s no such thing as the “genuinely disabled”. You are not entitled to a person’s entire medical history just so you can decide whether to believe them or not. People are not faking disability, most are trying to fake being well.

Over in the 10th Cir., three drug dealers were already having a stressful day after they escaped from a police chase, but then they ran out of gas and the random person they then carjacked happened to be—yes, you guessed it because we always say it—the FBI. ecf.ca8.uscourts.gov/opndir/25/12...

Would MAGAs stop hoovering Elon Musk's sharts if they knew how to read charts? (By the way, in the last chart here, the cash held by the richest Americans is so vast it's 10 times the height of the chart and can't be shown. Never forget, it's not democratic socialists who hate us but billionaires.)

Breaking on MS NOW: The Signalgate report contradicts Pete Hegseth's claims he did nothing wrong. It shows he "violated policy by using a non-approved device," a source who read the report says. Hegseth failed to preserve records. The report says he put the operations and service people at risk.

Nature is crazy.

Every Democrat should be an ICE abolitionist. None of this “we all agree you need to come here legally” or “we all agree the immigration system needs reform.” Fuck focus groups and polls. Inform the public of these atrocities and shift the Overton window to a presumption of equality for everyone.

It's wild but not surprising that last week the White House was leaning into "these seditious Democrats dared suggest that troops were receiving illegal orders!!!" and this week they are scrambling to figure out who to blame for issuing illegal orders.

Republicans stole their whole health care plan from Spongebob

Why didn't anyone tell me White Lotus was funny? All this time I thought it was a crime drama. Not the second coming of Arrested Development lol

Welcome to all my new followers and Happy Holidays! If you are looking for much other than snark and cat videos, you may be entitled to compensation.

It's not really the big holidays until you've mandolined yourself. #achieved

Flying domestic no longer safe in the USA. “The day after Lopez Belloza was arrested, a federal judge issued an emergency order prohibiting the government from moving her out of Massachusetts or the United States for at least 72 hours.” apnews.com/article/babs...

So let me see if I've got this logic right: Biden is too senile to use auto pen. Therefore, Biden orders are illegal. But Biden IS cognizant enough to be tried for perjury. How does that work??

Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

Because it's not Thanksgiving until someone's shared this... Wkrp Turkey drop...

Tried watching the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade. Everything seems so sickly sweet and false after what we've collectively been going through since January.

Happy thanksgiving to all that observe!

I feel you, ancient Mongolian ceramic hedgehog. I feel you.

Trying to achieve your holiday look on a budget sucks especially hard this year...

GOP methods of custody dispute problem solving: 1. Pay for abortion, then deny deny deny 2. Call ICE, then deny deny deny 3. Beat and threaten, then deny deny deny

"A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts." www.wcvb.com/article/karo...

Mental healthcare in this country is a friggin joke. Someone reaching out for help gets a stack of paperwork and 8 different people who are more interested in making a file on you than being there for you.

We should replace “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” with “give yourself uppies”

With Halligan's cases falling apart in disaster, do you think Trump's insurance will cover it? (Hold for applause)

And now, the case against Letitia James is dismissed too, same rationale but minus the statute of limitations complication.

Thanks for playing.

And every veteran just turned around and said... Hold my beer

I saw a headline about @fetterman.senate.gov getting primaried, and I couldn't be more sad for him.

I ran across this 1896 editorial in a medical journal. The author is discussing a smallpox outbreak in Gloucester, England (pop 42,000). The town was a hotbed of anti-vaxxers until there was a massive outbreak. At that point, 25,000 people lined up for smallpox vaccines.

As your President, I'll make this day a federal holiday & give Joel Hodgeson the Presidental Medal of Freedom.

I went to see if the "Quiet Piggy" url had been snapped up and was not disappointed. #trump #drumpf #quietPiggy

I dunno if this is real but I'm d34d...

A very easy solution is to make a lovely punch. Put a bottle of rum on the side for people who want it alcoholic. Same with eggnog. I mean have other stuff too but a lot of classic holiday beverages are really easy to just do non-alcoholic as the default.

This is a really nice idea

“Wow so you just block anyone who disagrees with you?”

For everyone hitting the road in the next few days for Thanksgiving, please travel safely and plan ahead. @TheMDTA has suggested drive times and tips to help make travel easier for you, your family, and all the turkey you’ve got in tow 🦃 go.md.gov/ThanksgivingTravel

The US government under Trump is an epic money laundering scheme. They’re robbing the taxpayers blind for crap nobody asked for!

$98 for 2 bottle of hand soap?? Are you friggin kidding me?? And that's ON SALE supposedly. I thought I was getting a deal when my have soap went on sale for 88 cents. Good Lord. #economy #craziness

Who pays $150 for a Dutch oven?? F$ck who pays full price at $370?? OMG how out of touch are these people?? #christmadgifts #economy

Annual reminder about turkey frying safety:

Ahem

@scottsigler.bsky.social so uuuh how's the Lions fandom going this weekend?
