Kash Patel made the FBI buy a custom fleet of armored BMW X5 for him to ride around in. trib.al/9pBbwTB Patel’s FBI spokesperson claimed—without evidence—that this is actually saving the American taxpayer money. The standard version of the X5 costs about $70,000.

So this week, while actual Christians celebrate the coming of a Savior, the “Christian nationalists” in the regime are bidding out concentration camps. Disgusting.

Five regulators and researchers who work to tackle disinformation and abuse on the internet were barred from entering the U.S. after Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeled them “radical activists” who undercut free speech.

Kash lied to congress.

The DOJ is not even trying to hide that it functions as Trump's personal law firm

Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

It’s become impossible to ignore that Trump is hiding evidence he committed crimes with Epstein. A journalist needs to ask Trump directly if he’s ever had sex with someone he met through Epstein, and if he’s ever slept with someone who might be under-age.

News stories about the concentration camps we run in foreign countries have to be smuggled to a third country in order to be seen.

One of the more important stock-taking moments to watch a bootlegged news program censored in your country.

I am still shocked by the degree that casual racism has been completely normalized in the US. I shouldn't be after the last 10 years, yet I am.

I bought a Tylenol and now the government owes me $14 million

What’s crazy is to become the head of CBS without enough experience to understand this super basic fact because your white grievance substack did unusually well with boomers

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

People are rightly disgusted by this speech, but it’s a measure of fascism’s normalization that many see this as more of the awful same rather than what I think most of us who’ve been reporting this beat hear it as: a significant calculated escalation. Full alert stuff.

Your favourite new TV hyperfixation did not magically make everything better - it went out of its way to not show the reality of how bad it really is, *because* that would be upsetting to you and not fit with the conventions of the genre.

TLDR romance is high fantasy. It suspends rules and norms as a means of escape from the disappointments of real life. It is, alas, not a roadmap to civil rights.

“Pregnant women with life-threatening anemia were so desperate for calories that they ate mud.” Marco Rubio, Elon Musk, Russell Vaught, and Donald Trump did this with glee.

We may uh want to have a conversation about the fact that the majority of popular gay male romance is written by and for women

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

these documents are more blacked out than Pete Hegseth on New Years Eve

If you introduce frankincense in the first act, it really needs to be detonated by the end.

This week, we learned 21 states are eager to dismantle your First Amendment Rights. It should be bigger news. Here's the story, and here's what you can be doing about it. These are YOUR RIGHTS that the states want to steal from you. buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

Semi-regular reminder to be kind to retail workers today & patient with the people shopping with you. This doesn't have to be a stressful weekend for anyone. Let's just enjoy how nice it is to celebrate the people we love with gifts. Thank you!

Don’t know why but my little self published reprint of Proxy, originally published in 2013 had its best month yet. Thanks for keepingthis book alive! www.amazon.com/Proxy-Alex-L...

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

bring back the lemonade and disconnect the robot that kills you

Trump has called for at least three of these senators to be thrown in prison. And they’re still voting for his agenda.

Our new golden age of free speech, where opposition to immigration enforcement can trigger a federal investigation

They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.

Feels to me like the last quote here is more devastating and incriminating than even the birthday book and the photos and the rest.

Ladies and gentleman: The President of the United States www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

It's a shell game. Trump is taking money from soldiers' housing subsidies to "give" them $1,776 "warrior dividend" checks.

These people These fucking people www.cnn.com/2025/12/17/p...

I know Kash wouldn’t be any help catching the shooter at Brown, but I still find doing a podcast about your love life during a manhunt shocking.

Susie Wiles told NYT she didn't call Elon Musk "an avowed ketamine" in one of her ELEVEN interviews with Vanity Fair. "That’s ridiculous. I wouldn’t have said it and I wouldn’t know." Vanity Fair: Cool here's a recording of you saying that. www.huffpost.com/entry/brown-...

Depravity.

So they reversed the reversal to downgrade the core symbol of literal Naziism and the most horrific symbol of white-supremacist racial violence and murder to "POTENTIALLY divisive." A future Dem POTUS needs to fire every person even in the same room as those making this choice. Beyond vile.

Reintroduction! I run The Author Village, a forward-thinking speakers’ bureau, a collective of award-winning book creators for young people, educators, and librarians available for school and library visits, conference appearances, and professional development experiences. www.TheAuthorVillage.com

It's impressive, in its way, to make cowardice not just part of your political identity, but ALL of it. When the book on Mike Johnson is written...it will molder in unopened cardboard boxes.

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray. The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter. These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby. We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Honestly, I think I’m too narcissistic to be a bigot. Couldn’t fathom spending so much time obsessing over other people.

Factory farming humans — one more reason there should be no billionaires “Videogame executive Xu Bo, said to have more than 100 children, and other elites build mega-families, testing citizenship laws and drawing on nannies, IVF and legal firms set up to help them” www.wsj.com/us-news/chin...

Supreme Court is currently weighing whether to hear a case that would bar states/localities from banning AR-15s and similar semiautomatic rifles that have frequently been used in mass shootings and a couple of cases challenging bans on large capacity magazines.

There's no rule of journalism that says you have to show a president telling lie after lie – uncorrected – many times a day. That's a decision that corporate media are making for purposes other than delivering the truth to the public.

It's because she doesn't know how to be the head of CBS News. Just no clue what a person in this role does. Similar to how Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy don't know how to be cabinet secretaries. A hallmark of this movement is people being out of their depth. It says, "expertise is unnecessary."

We live in a country where moments ago a national cable television news channel interviewed two survivors of tonight's mass shooting at Brown University who had both survived mass shooings at SEPARATE HIGH SCHOOLS before this experience.

💔This is Kostyantynivka. The city, where 78,179 people lived until 2022, but today the Russians are destroying every street 📷: Khyzhak Brigade

LOL... Pentagon released a new AI military chatbot and it immediately pointed out that Pete Hegseth is a war criminal. abovethelaw.com/2025/12/pent...

They’re going to lie about his health every day until he dies and probably another week or two after
