Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax. Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it's a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations he's announced. If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."

As someone who has ordered (and undergone) a lot of MRIs, let me be clear: 1️⃣ MRIs are not routine. We order them when worried about something serious—(ie stroke) not “just to check.” 2️⃣ You always know what’s being scanned. The part of your body imaged is literally what goes into the machine.

Golly! You mean Trumpsheviks are hate-filledi incels who harbor fantasies of violence? Who knew? www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power. The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

One of the funniest things I've ever read ...

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

Awful: Trump's boat bombings are now being justified by a new legal memo that relies on WH's own determinations as evidence. Memo also says people can't be prosecuted for the killings. But that reveals WH knows there's legal vulnerability here, Ds tell me. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2032...

Donald Trump’s presidency hinges on loyalty, which depends on the perception of power. As a lame duck, that perception is already eroding — and the Epstein scandal is now accelerating it.

More Military personnel are calling legal military non-profit agencies seeking advice for orders they received. The DOJ has issues a order that all orders are legal & the personnel are immune from prosecution. Right there is the red flag, the prosecution immunity. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

yep.

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

Goldman's indeed among the most effective newer members of Congress. Yet he's been under relentless attack from some putative progressives here in Brooklyn, with the DSA, which is now effectively leading the Democratic Party in NYC, contending that he's "out of touch." Maybe they are out of touch?

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

www.cnbc.com/2025/11/13/t... Trump is blaming the meat packers and US cattlemen for rising beef prices, but the tariffs on beef from Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Uruguay, feed, farm equipment and machinery are all adding to the price surge.

A House Judiciary Committee report shows that pardons issued during President Trump's second term have cost victims and the public at large $1.3 billion in restitution and fines

Trump getting booed at the Commanders game

This is BRUTAL. Trump LOUDLY BOOED at the Commanders game. America lets him know exactly how they feel — to his face.

Donald Trump and @jd-vance-1.bsky.social's refusal to provide SNAP benefits to Americans in need isn't just illegal — it's immoral.

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Scott David Mason, a GOP lobbyist who advised Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and transition, has been charged in federal court in North Carolina with distributing and possessing child-sexual-abuse material, according to court records. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/lobbyist-f...
