"If this is an honest reflection of how he thinks, he's a disturbed dude... If you're thirsting over the idea that you can cane somebody because they're here illegally, then you need to go get help." @samsteindc.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social on Phil Mickelson's rant against illegals.

“European officials may end up offering Ukraine a financial Band-Aid when they had hoped for a financial bazooka.” Tragic loss of nerve. The $244 billion must be used to help Ukraine survive Russia’s illegal onslaught. Belgium is being cowardly. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/w...

President Vladimir Putin of Russia “must have” authorized the nerve agent poisoning attack that accidentally killed a British woman in 2018, and he bears “moral responsibility” for her death, the chair of a British inquiry said on Thursday.

The data on how many of them are garbage. They’re really looking at it.

SCOOP: Former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale assisted the Honduran presidential campaign of Nasry Asfura, the right-wing candidate Trump endorsed. Parscale says he had nothing to do with Trump's endorsement or his pardon of ex-Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez.

Police state tactics.

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

I have rejected my own proposals for peace that I had Donald present to me.

This week Trump pardoned a private equity fraudster, the drug-trafficking ex-president of Honduras, and a Congressman who allegedly took bribes. Meanwhile, he's weaponizing government to go after his enemies. An utter mockery of the rule of law. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NflcWXdV-B0

This alone is impeachable behavior.

NYT: “.. Even for Mr. Trump — who has a long history of insulting Black people, particularly those from African countries — his outburst was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

NEW: In a letter to Trump, Juan Orlando Hernandez cast himself as the victim of “political persecution” by Biden's DOJ & compared his fate to Trump's. Trump announced a pardon of Hernandez hours after receiving the letter. Hernandez was freed from prison yesterday, per the Bureau of Prisons.

Homan threatens to arrest Mpls police chief O'Hara for expressing concern about ICE tactics: "Bottom line is when ICE or Border Patrol shows up, they'll have gear on, & they may be wearing a mask to protect from doxxing themselves and their children...he ought to put his badge in the dust drawer"

Trump pardoned former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez, who got 45 years in prison last year for conspiring to import cocaine to the US. Prosecutors said he ran Honduras like a "narco-state" and accepted millions of dollars in bribes from drug traffickers. He walked out of prison today.

Trump’s bizarre pardon of the former President of Honduras is looking worse and worse. @samsteindc.bsky.social and @saletan.bsky.social break it down.

President Trump has officially pardoned former Honduran President who US officials said was at the center of one of the largest and most violent drug-trafficking conspiracies in the world. n.pr/4rzhG6q

Q: You talk about affordability. Are the American people getting impatient with the reforms you're making? TRUMP: I think they're getting fake news from guys like you. Look, affordability is a hoax that was started by Democrats.

Elon Musk’s charitable foundation grew larger than ever in 2024. But, for the fourth year in a row, the huge charity failed to give away the minimum amount required by law — and the donations it did make went largely to charities closely tied to Musk himself, who is the world's richest man.

He’s been pretty busy, as you can imagine. 🤡

I'm not sure he's going to make it, folks. Eyes are closed

You don't get to play "Top Gun" for the cameras and then throw commanders under the bus. Scapegoating Admiral Bradley for your own failed orders isn't leadership. It is cowardice. You cannot sacrifice troops to save your own ass. We stand with @duckworth.senate.gov. Testify https://wapo.st/49Rpk5V

The secretary of defense throwing a top military official under the bus to protect himself. A beacon of integrity.

Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social. The fossil fuel industry is again urging the Supreme Court to help them escape accountability.

Bannon being chummy with Epstein behind the scenes and even helping him attempt a comeback is the kind of thing the writers would spike for being too perfect and unlikely lnk.thebulwark.com/48p9ywR

Pastor Jorge Bautista was telling a Border Patrol agent "we come in peace" when the agent fired toxic powder at him, leaving him struggling to breathe. “No one should be assaulted for being out there protesting,” he says. With @frontlinepbs.bsky.social

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.
