I don't follow or listen to Nicki Minaj but keep getting hit in my feed about her turning MAGA and hating on transfolk. As a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago, she is more likely to be deported than to be embraced by MAGA.

"Shut down Alligator Alcatraz and allow these people to return to their communities, where they belong."

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Thanedar to Noem: "You lied to me under oath"

And Trump knows something about collecting money for discretionary use. Just look at his family’s record running cancer charities.

Even when he is provoking a war his big concern is how large the tanker is. This is an emotionally stunted, incompetent, and narcissistically disregulated individual who belongs nowhere near the presidency.

I didn’t know “racism” qualified as a language.

Riddle: What do American farmers have in common with Stormy Daniels? Answer: They were both screwed by Trump then paid off to shut up about it.

I knew Trump chose mortgage fraud to go after his enemies with phony charges of because it's a crime he's quite familiar with. He probably thinks everyone does it. And when @propublica.org called him to ask him about it, he hung up on them. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

This is the way.

RFK Jr's handpicked antivax goons don't agree on a Hepatitis vaccine that newborns have been given for decades, so for the second time after an unruly meeting they've cancelled a vote. "The proceedings featured a barrage of misleading claims and cherry-picked data." www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

I had the pleasure of chatting with HOW DO WE MANAGE podcast about the nature of our shared reality — and to talk about my book with @phdcomics.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=vubq... #neuroscience #brainhealth #science #neuroskyence

Glad to see this story right up top on the NYT page today -- NIH is paying out multiple years of funding to existing grants in an explicit effort to AVOID funding new grants. Clear as day that destroying science is an explicit goal of the federal government. #academicsky #psychscisky 🧠🟦

🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in Nov. That's the 4th negative number in past 6 months. The estimate was for +40,000, so the street was off ... this may be coming from being hammered by the tariffs"

These are not competent, serious people. They are the equivalent of professional wrestling for the political class. They are not working for us. They are working to enrich themselves. To build a brand. To troll.

My undying admiration will go to any reporter who brings up all the evidence of former Honduras President Hernandez's crimes running drugs, and reminds that he was convicted by a jury, and ask Trump how he can claim to be tackling the drug problem while letting such a large trafficker go free.

It's not about Americans not caring about narcoterrorists. It's about Americans caring about the rule of law, due process, our reputation in the world, and not starting wars. Also, fentanyl doesn't come from Venezuela, and most of us know this is about a greedy admin that wants to steal their oil.

Cooper: We have 675,000 people who have health insurance. Right now, though, Washington’s trying to take it all away. And it’s one of the reasons that Tillis stood up on the floor of the Senate and said, “How can I vote for this?”

Phang: It just underscores how much this Trump administration has destroyed any concept of public safety — that federal cases cannot be prosecuted in the state of New Jersey because Alina Haba refuses to actually step away from this bullshit.

Pay attention at #NIH to peer review of grant applications. I don't think it's too much to say the keystone of US biomedical science is NIH's Center for Scientific Review. CSR organizes peer review—relying on 25k US scientists. Review helps isolate grantmaking from political interference. But! /1

Idea for Sunday news shows: Instead of interviewing politicians about stuff they know nothing about, interview 1) experts who do and 2) the people affected by policies.

Mark Kelly on the Trump/Hegseth boat strikes: "If orders are illegal, not only do they not have to follow them, they are legally required not to follow them."

Imagine your life ending at the command of a Fox News weekend anchor.

BREAKING: Republican Congressman Troy Nehls (R-TX) announces he will NOT seek re-election

it is going to be a big weekend for Republicans being too busy to read Trump's posts

"Black Friday, officially Christmastime now. America is in a sour mood. Grocery prices are up, and so are energy prices. Donald Trump lies incessantly about both. The American people are onto him. They’re pessimistic about the future."

This article is terrifying because it's both believable and possible, and something everyone needs to be thinking about. "This is what a coup looks like."

"Indiana lawmakers have reported other apparent attempts at intimidation, including at least one bomb threat, as well as subtler forms of harassment. Not all of them have been made public."

"My poll numbers have never been better."

Trump would relish violence against any Republican who won't go along with Trump's plans.

I’m not worried - Republicans said the death ray is a hoax.

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

392,000 American MAGA followers.

It’s official. @dougjones.bsky.social will run against Tommy Tuberville for Alabama governor. www.al.com/life/2025/11...

The Nuzzi-Lizza-RFKjr-Sanford tale is awful for many reasons: 1) Nuzzi made the lives of women journalists that much harder by adding this "sleep to the top narrative: 2) Lizza mentions "catch and kill" acts that if valid may have put RFKjr in charge of our health; 3) RFKjr is a sick prick.

Blonde Ambition Material girl Nuzzi’s not much like a virgin, but she may end up writing for Vogue. And when she let Bobby Jr. dress her up in his love, it pushed bf Ryan over the borderline. by Maureen Dowd

Russia flat out rejects Trump's 28-point peace plan: "Even in a reduced military and territorial form, Ukraine would remain a significant danger, requiring us to keep our forces on the western borders."

The moment when Democrats delivered healthcare to more than 30 Million additional American citizens. Healthcare is a human right.

RFK Jr is a slime ball, among other things.

New in PN: @mattgertz.bsky.social on the Orbanization of the press "Everyone just accepts that of course the FCC will only allow a merger if it goes to a person that Trump wants to own it. That’s a very precipitous decline in our broad public assumptions of how govt power is supposed to be wielded"

Caption this photo. I’ll start: “May I call you Bubba?”

Nothing to see here. Just the White House needing to reassure the public that Piggy doesn't want to murder members of Congress. 😩

Interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers says she will plead the fifth if forced to testify to Congress. But she willingly sat down with Todd Blanche? What a load of horseshit. www.politico.com/live-updates...
