Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it. Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

"ICE is arresting the worst of the worst." Everything this administration tells us is a lie.

I mean, this is an execution

Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, prolific actor known for his roles in “Mortal Kombat,” “Last Emperor” and “Man In The High Castle,” has died at 75

ABC News and MS NOW reports that a Virginia grand jury has refused to re-indict Letitia James on mortgage fraud charges

He commits crimes against humanity to stop “drug traffickers” while pardoning a notorious drug trafficker. He attacks veterans while committing treason. Make it stop.

The entire U.S. population is in the low hundreds of millions (340m), meaning that according to NoemMath, nearly all of us were on track for a cocaine-related death. I am so grateful to have been saved.

MORE Breaking on MS NOW: Pete Hegseth refused an interview request for the Pentagon Inspector General's investigation into Signalgate, according to two sources who read and were briefed on report. Hegseth would not turn over his phone, a source who read the report told MS NOW.

Trump says he wants to get drugs off the streets. Then he pardons a convicted cocaine trafficker. The American people aren’t stupid. They can see right through the President’s hypocrisy.

Here's Pete Hegseth in 2016 saying the U.S. military “won’t follow unlawful orders" from a President. What changed, Pete? Our Secretary of Defense is an unqualified and unserious person.

Pete Hegseth risked our servicemembers’ lives by sharing classified information on unsecured systems. He needs to resign or be fired.

Um...what? www.ft.com/content/952f...

Breaking: The US lost 32,000 jobs in November, far worse than expected. Small businesses were the hardest hit.

if i worked in a White House with an elderly and ailing president who had a hard time staying awake, i would simply recommend against having 3 hour cabinet meetings that are boring af and pointless and best remembered for the fact said president is sleeping on camera

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military. They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

The U.S. has conducted 19 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing at least 76 people. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.

Facts

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels. Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on. And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking. Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy. It's a power grab.

O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

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

As a veteran who served in intelligence, I want to introduce you to EXORDS: the execute order from the President to SecDef. This allows 60 days operations under the War Powers Act. The President must advise Congress and gain approval to continue. No EXORD was sent to Congress. This is illegal

🔥 AL GORE: “We already have way too many subservient cowards in Congress, the last thing we need is to send another one (Van Epps 🤖) — you can make tomorrow the turning point for our country by getting out and voting for Rep. @aftynbehn.bsky.social .” #TN7 Full: www.threads.com/@thetnholler...

@markhertling.bsky.social warns the gravest threat to the U.S. military is the erosion of the values that keep our forces lawful and legitimate. He implores Congress to investigate whether unlawful orders were issued in the Caribbean, and hold every official to account.

Sorry to be a broken record but it's nuts to me that the New York Times would write an entire article summarizing a court ruling and refuse to provide a link to said ruling. This is a disservice to readers. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/n... Here's the ruling: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Thou shalt not pretend that you're at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

Alina Habba’s parents emigrated to the US from Iraq citing persecution.

"No one's going to build a factory based on a tariff that's on on Monday, off on... Tuesday, the president's changed his mind by Wednesday, he gets hormonal by Thursday and someone says something nasty in the middle school cafeteria on Friday and they're back on again."

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

The Citizens United decision has corrupted our government and is destroying our democracy. Here's a way to get rid of it. robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get...

David Lobell, the professor of Earth system science at SU. The results show clearly that adaptation efforts must look at the whole supply chain, including labor and livestock. That even as agriculture becomes more mechanized and sophisticated the sensitivity to weather doesn’t go away. 7 yrs gone

The House and Senate are both investigating Pete’s war crimes

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire? Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated. I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

Time to ask: In whose interests is American foreign policy being conducted?

Trump says Venezuela airspace should be considered “closed in its entirety” - AFP News 1) isn’t this the President who said “No, new wars”? 2) It’s up to Congress to declare war.

This came from the 2021 infrastructure bill signed by Biden. Mace voted against it.

Something to cheer about today: Trump’s job approval rating has fallen five percentage points to 36%, the lowest of his second term, while disapproval has risen to 60%. news.gallup.com/poll/699221/...

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Bitcoin has become a Trump trade, and Bitcoin’s declining price is an indicator of Trump’s declining dominance over the G.O.P..

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

As Trump announces the closure of Venezuelan airspace in anticipation of a war, there is literally nothing about it on the CNN or New York Times homepages as of 11:50 AM ET
