Brother Warnock lays it plain.

I’ve been in a lot of rooms with people having a medical emergency; it’s a rare “skill” to be this utterly disinterested in the person’s welfare 😳

I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*. on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

"What the Court’s conservatives have shown since Trump took office is that they have no problem letting the administration run roughshod over laws, just as long as that lawbreaking comes at the expense of people of color, not the stock market." Balls & strikes - in favor of Big Business.

witness the meteoric rise of a pop music superstar! please don’t ask about any other parts of his life

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.

Not all women

Saint Paul election was an own goal. I still don’t understand how this happened.

If you don't ask people for their vote you can't expect them to give it to you. Organizing wins.

Some Wolves vs Knicks numbers • Knicks held a 48.9% OREB% per Cleaning the Glass. • 9 OREB for the Wolves’ roster. 9 OREB for Mitchell Robinson in 16 minutes. • 151.2 DRTG with Rudy Gobert off the court per PivotFade. • Knicks shoot 30/38 at the rim.

lol

Wow, huge credit to Katie and the rest of the nutrition team at @centeronbudget.bsky.social. USDA has now issued revised numbers because CBPP caught them either accidentally or intentionally making huge errors that would severely underfund SNAP, in direct violation of court orders.

Karl-Anthony Towns:

When I started this campaign, I made a commitment to myself and to the people of this city that I would run with the values we share: honesty, integrity, transparency and care. I’m proud of the campaign that we’ve run, and I’m so thankful everyone who has held me to those values.

With 2 min left in the game, the Knicks have out rebounded the Wolves by 15 and have 20 offensive rebounds. They have also taken 16 more shots than the Wolves. The Wolves 16 turnovers are also killing them.

Get a rebound challenge.

From the top rope

What the hell are we doing lmao.

LMAO. What a loser.

The interior defense without Rudy is bad.

I am of the persuasion that government shutdowns should be so extraordinarily painful that you don’t want go near them ever again. Otherwise we are reinforcing the false belief that government doesn’t do anything. Previous efforts to lessen their pain created a moral hazard.

I hope through my husband's campaign for Mayor, our city got to see the sides of him that inspire me. I wanted you to be inspired to become the City our residents so desperately need. I hope that in response to his vision for #Minneapolis, you step up in serve one another in a new way.

The CVS on Snelling and University hired a lawyer who used to work for the city council on the DAY of their hearing.

Rudy Gobert gets beat for put-backs twice in the final 1:22 to allow the Knicks to take a 28-26 lead after the 1Q. He's down to a career-low 22.7% DREB%, grabbing less than a quarter of the Wolves' defensive boards while he's on the floor. Has to be more impactful there.

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Locked in for @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social draft!

of what

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

I don't understand what this means to win the AI race.

Somebody call Bill McGuire and get this done.

now political pundits have to tell conservatives to go to pilates classes and wnba games to talk to real americans

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

I have my doubts about a barn storming women's league, touring around Europe and Asia, backed by oil money from Saudi Arabia catching on. www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/202...

New theme for @normcharlatan.bsky.social sandwich party.

here's the same numbers as four-year rolling averages, to show more trends and less noise. very similar trajectories until the last couple years.

*whispers* you can continue to read me, the pundit who insisted the other pundits were wrong about these conclusions

The Democrats won several VA House seats where winning looked like a pipe dream going into the election. The Dems won these seats because they recruited candidates and actually campaigned. Important lesson for 26--the electorate is pissed--but you can only win when you run. Run everywhere!

30 Rock is still a great show, so is Parks and Rec and so is the Office.

To me, it is bad and not good for the leader of the WNBA player's association to join a league as a part owner that is backed by Saudi Arabia.

Sports in 2025 in a nutshell: the President of the WNBA Players Association has chosen to align herself with perhaps the world’s foremost purveyor of human rights abuses against women while being the public face of a fight over the exploitation of WNBA players

A majority of Supreme Court justices ask skeptical questions about Trump’s use of emergency powers to impose tariffs on imports from nearly every US trading partner, casting doubt on a centerpiece of the administration’s second-term agenda. @amarimow.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

Trump's approval rating has fallen the most among the voters who are newest to his coalition: people of color and young people. Good article from Mary Radcliffe (who is a must-read): marywitha4.substack.com/p/trumps-app...

Mamdani's model only works in a few places now, the most effective way for him to spread his ideas is to be a good mayor.

If I had to guess right now (and it is premature!) I'd say the Supreme Court is going to strike down Trump's tariffs. All three liberals are clearly against the government. Barrett too. Roberts leaning that way. And we haven't even gotten to tax-hater Gorsuch yet.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.
