Keep in mind: Trump put tariffs on Ukraine and exempted Russia

When a travelling doctor questioned why a patient had been receiving dangerous cancer treatments for 11 years, he set off a chain of events that would divide a city and implicate a beloved oncologist in a string of suspicious deaths. (Published Dec. 2024)

Imagine being so far gone into Trumpism/Republicanism that you would say this to someone who was shot in the head in an act of political violence.

Both taken this weekend:

“One of those working most closely with Epstein, up to and including attempting to scrub his public image, was Bannon…Bannon, the man millions of MAGA fans trust to tell it like it is, stands revealed as one of the most cynical liars ever to mar this country.” www.thebulwark.com/p/steve-bann...

Chicago hospitals funnel patients into long-lasting guardianships. Patients pay price as “profit motive” often leaves them “out of money in no time.” Read part 2 of stellar @chicagotribune.com investigation by Emily Hoerner Christy Gutowski and Lisa Schencker www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/30/h...

Shocked not shocked that Trumpers are following his lead and gorging themselves on our government.

Get vaccines, y’all

I was forced to see this now you do too Don’t share

Former US military lawyers speak out: "The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both." Statement on Media Reports of Pentagon “No Quarter” Orders in Caribbean Boat Strikes 1/2

Let’s be clear: these are extrajudicial killings. “Kill them all” Hegseth needs to be held accountable. What’s more, Trump promised the American people no new wars but is now manufacturing this conflict & lying about his motives. This warmongering has got to stop.

ICE still FROZEN at Centre St & Howard in lower Manhattan right now as calls continue circulating for people to join. NYPD arriving with barricades.

Moments ago, feds shove protesters out of the way as more NYPD officers arrive on scene. reporting for @thecity.nyc

This is one of the most important exposés published in WSJ in several years, and it derives from intercepts and analyses by foreign intelligence services studying the conduct of Trump and his inner team. It's first and foremost a wake up call to the people of the United States.

Probably time to loudly repeat that members of the military must not follow illegal orders. The US is not at war with Venezuela and has no right to threaten aircraft in its airspace, let alone shoot anything down.

everything about this is obscene but here's the real tell: "Witkoff, who hasn’t traveled to Ukraine this year, is set to visit Russia for the sixth time next week and will again meet Putin."

Sec of war confesses to war crimes while trying to dunk on the MSM

a lot of words, none of them denying that Hegseth gave an order to kill helpless people who were stranded at sea after he blew up their boats

A Dishonorable Strike Indulging all assumptions in favor of the administration’s boat strikes, killing helpless men is murder www.execfunctions.org/p/a-dishonor...

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:

what absolute piss baby coward shit to give into this administration right as they’re getting caught doing murders and using outright slurs in public

Newly released bodycam video shows a federal immigration agent in the Chicago area telling ChatGPT to write his "long-format narrative" after an encounter with the public. Just another way for Trump's violent thugs to avoid accountability. If the report is wrong, blame AI.

Release the MRI results

Effectively there is no *one* person performing the duties of President of the United States right now. We are in an interregnum with an occupied throne.

Or this one www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

More on that one www.reuters.com/world/us/pol...

Ask yourself why there wasn’t this level of wall to wall coverage for this shooting wgme.com/news/local/i...

Racist

An investigation by ProPublica and @texastribune.org found more than 60 instances of nepotism, self-dealing and conflicts of interest among 27 private schools that likely would have violated state laws had the schools been public.

Here’s a list of people that should be in jail.

We could have nice things.

A bit too on the nose for thanksgiving

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Here's one office Dems could flip on Tuesday. (No, it's not in TN!) The Republican mayor of Roswell, a Georgia city of 90K, finished just one percentage point ahead of his Dem challenger on November 4. The runoff is in a few days. One of my Dec elections to watch: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store. Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

Even Warren Zevon could not imagine a U.S. President having an "envoy" like Steve Witkoff, who is both absurdly venal and a useful idiot.

My memoir-essay on growing up with Norman Rockwell Thanksgivings is up in Vogue this morning. Here’s a small extract: www.vogue.com/article/norm...

Some common sense to remember in a trying time. Originally written in April 2025 snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-t...

Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual. I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.

It’s not that complicated, people.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan doubles down on his refusal to condemn Donald Trump's threats to execute Democratic lawmakers. Here is a statement from a spokesperson: x.com/AndreaBitely...

classy stuff at the latest school board meeting in my hometown of Forest Lake, Minnesota (the same town Pete Hegseth is from) these people are more emboldened than ever to be their absolute worst selves

This explains a lot

there's that now-famous internet line about how climate change means watching clips of climate disasters on people's phones until you're the one filming it, and it feels like there's some parallel about watching fascist deportation goon squad videos until it's filmed on the streets you recognize
