Happy 45th Birthday Gyrate! Released on this day by DB Recs in the US and Armageddon in the UK. The release party was held on 11/18/1980 at The Channel Club in Boston, MA — where Pylon opened for Gang of Four along with Mission of Burma. 1/2 🧵

lordy.

Completely unacceptable, but completely on brand.

I'm not minimizing any of the countless other reasons he should be drafting his resignation. It's that he said this to a woman. In her workplace. In front of her colleagues. While she does her job. It's a disgrace. He owes her an apology, and so do all of his voters, frankly.

I don't understand why this isn't the only story and why he isn't giving his resignation. I mean, I do. But still. How can the president. THE PRESIDENT. Of the United States of America. The. President.

Today Donald Trump saved us from some of the tariffs he put in place, in order to bring down the price of groceries he said never went up.

No, Trump didn't share a post saying, "14 IS OLD ENOUGH TO MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS!!" ❌ Here's how we know it's fake: www.snopes.com/fact-check/t...

A blistering opinion from judge overseeing James Comey criminal case: "The record points to a disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps, missteps that led an FBI agent and a prosecutor to potentially undermine the integrity of the grand jury proceeding" www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-o...

This is terrifying

Trump seems to be claiming US is in an “armed conflict” with Venezuelan cartels to justify bombing boats. Congress needs to demand production of legal memo because this just doesn’t add up. “War on Drugs” was just a slogan, but Trump seems to be using it literally. newrepublic.com/article/2032...

✅Yes, the Senate cut food safety regulations in a funding bill to reopen the government. We broke down what's changed. 👇 www.snopes.com/fact-check/g...

Didn’t this f***** plead guilty?

Twice.

“FBI Director Kash Patel granted waivers to Deputy Director Dan Bongino and two other newly hired senior FBI staff members, exempting them from passing polygraph exams normally required to gain access to America’s most sensitive classified information…” www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...

On this day 30 years ago, the band performed at the Arena in Orlando, Florida, where they record ‘So Fast, So Numb’ during soundcheck for use on New Adventures in Hi-Fi. Also, ‘Find the River’ was performed live for the first time.

And while you're all avoiding the deGrayded Lady, check out two great Propublica stories on corruption. First, about Kristi Noem's propaganda slush fund. www.propublica.org/article/kris...

BREAKING: Pete Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, has appointed himself to prosecute the case against Trump and others in Fulton County. The move follows a court ruling that disqualified Fani Willis from pursuing the case.

NEW: The girl Matt Gaetz allegedly raped was an unhoused junior in high school, and was trying to save up money for braces. According to reports, he allegedly raped her twice - once on an air hockey table at republican Chris Dorwoth's party. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

❌ No, Sen. John Kennedy didn't 'execute' AOC, Schumer and other Democratic leaders on C-SPAN. We dug into the false rumor:

“I haven’t seen the emails. I haven’t read them. I don’t even know what emails are.” - Mike Johnson this morning, probably.

Epstein wrote in emails, at least one back in 2011 when there would have been little incentive to lie, that Trump knew about what he was doing with girls www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

✅ Yes, Trump said, “Nobody knows what a magnet is.” He made the comment while discussing how everyday products like vehicles and computers rely on magnets, and in support of his administration's threat of high tariffs on Chinese goods. www.snopes.com/fact-check/t...

NEWS: Senate Republicans are threatening to block the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies—unless Democrats agree to tougher abortion restrictions.

Analysis | Yes, Democrats won last Tuesday's elections by double digits. However, they did not win them by triple digits. The time had come to cave to Trump.

Donald Trump is working overtime and sparing no effort to make sure that Americans don’t receive food assistance. Where was this energy from Joe Biden? by Marc Thiessen

Trump’s pardon attorney Ed Martin claims Trump is pardoning his Georgia co-defendants and other “alternate electors.” Note: Trump’s Georgia co-defendants are charged under state law. The president can’t pardon people for state crimes.

Gift article from NY Times. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/u...

Pardons are now available for anyone who can pay for them. This is the most corrupt President in history.

Absolutely

It’s unfair that Trump gets to sleep through his presidency and the rest of us have to be awake for it

Upon reflection, electing a president who has nothing to lose because he’s been granted immunity and is at death’s door seems like not a great idea

Yes. This. Say it louder.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time. Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

Good grief. This administration is so soft on crime.

Apparently the Q-Anon loons are taking his use of the phrase "My fellow Americans" as a sign that "the storm" is upon us, and Trump is about to do whatever it is they've been waiting years for now. The anticipation and glee are palpable.

A video shared on social media claims to show surveillance footage of a small robot convincing 12 others to leave their charging stations and "go home." But did that really happen? Here's what we found: www.snopes.com/articles/471...

If courts won’t let Donald Trump force airlines to cut their flights starting Friday, I’m going to become an even bigger libertarian.

If the sub didn’t split, you must acquit!

Trump Denies Appearing on 60 Minutes

Way to go, California!

California voters just said F*CK NO to Trump’s authoritarian power grab! Prop 50 is more than a ballot measure, it’s a blueprint for how we defend democracy. It proves that when voters are given the chance to stand up and fight back, they do — by huge margins and despite relentless intimidation.

BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty. “They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”

Pope Leo is doing Catholicism the wrong way. by Ezra Klein

Turns out slashing SNAP benefits, slapping tariffs on countries indiscriminately, threatening to take away healthcare, & acting like a dictator does not bode well for Americans. Awful night for Trump & Republicans, but a great night for our democracy & the comeback of Democrats.

It’s early, but this might be my favorite tweet.
