The U.S. State Department is repeating a white nationalist conspiracy theory. On Friday, it claimed that “mass migration poses an existential threat to Western civilization.” That line comes straight from the Great Replacement myth: the lie that immigration is a plot to erase white populations.

Honest to God. The only reason Carville was not consigned to the ash heap of history is because Ross Perot siphoned off enough votes from GHWB to let Clinton squeak by; there wasn't any tactical or political genius. He and Stephanopoulos managed to parlay that, but it was just dumb f'n luck.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office. He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people. Release the transcript.

From the people who brought you the financial crisis, Theranos, and Juicero: say hello to data center financial engineering! I'm pretty nervous about this ending badly, but everyone's dug in because AI is the only pulse in the economy. prospect.org/2025/11/19/a...

The Epstein files bill passed, but Speaker Johnson is circulating a plan to block transparency on "national security" grounds. Read the full document: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/epstein-bi...

Trump Has the Look of the Weak Horse; People Are Acting Accordingly talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump...

To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.

Re: Epstein’s emails

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

The Republicans will kill you, and the Democrats will let you die. An explainer on enablers from last year -- and before: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/ten-articl...

My statement on the proposed Senate deal

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

I thought they were autonomous collectives.

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

More broadly, heavily-Latino counties moved far to the right in NJ last year, and back to the left this year:

One thing that Mamdani/Spanberger/Sherrill have in common besides being not-MAGA is that they ran on a theme of affordability and the quality of ordinary people's lives. This could be a powerful theme if Ds coalesce around it.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

I would donate to that campaign in a heartbeat.

AOC should absolutely primary Schumer in ‘28.

I bear full responsibility for the intra-South Carolina beef that continues to escalate because of Nancy Mace. Original story here: www.wired.com/story/nancy-...

And the Democrats are about to fold with a full house. 🤦‍♂️ www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

If the Senate Dems don't realize the kind of upper hand they have against Trump in this moment - and if they let a chunk of their caucus (8 Dems) fold after get a "a promised vote" from the Republicans - not sure what else is there to say.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

You must be in Marracash... I'll see myself out.

Not to be too on point, but Young Frankenstein really is lightning in a bottle.

Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

I'm not Cassandra! I'm Cosa Nostradamus, I predict organized crime.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.
