I mean…are people really surprised by this? 🧵

Trump’s ‘affordability’ message?

That’s a big flip in DeSantis land.

How would this policy work for American missionaries who are working in another country and have found it helpful to their ministry to have citizenship in that country while retaining American citizenship?

Whoa.

FWIW DOJ still has not appealed the ruling disqualifying Halligan, nor have they appealed the Third Circuit ruling disqualifying Alina Habba on similar grounds (and nor did they respond to my request for comment about whether they plan to appeal)

How were they an immediate threat in attacking the US? It is a war crime and those men were murdered.

“You see, Mr. Originalist, what we need to do here is ignore the plain reading of a Constitutional amendment because our ideology demands it.”

Love your Somalian neighbor.

Really terrible. Absolutely shameful behavior by our govt.

Since the 1990s bond markets around the world have expanded rapidly, outpacing economic activity. Debt securities outstanding as a share of global GDP rose to over 135% by end-2024, topping $150 trillion

Dear Lord…

An interesting intra conservative struggle here. I will take the side of leaders who want *more* regulations on toxic chemicals.

Describing so much of the job of conservative media right here…

GOP Rep. Mike Turner: "This activity that's happening in the Caribbean where they are hitting these boats -- these individuals if they were captured and tried and convicted, they would be guilty of criminal activity for which they're not subject to capital punishment. These people are being killed."

The right thing to do! How has this legislation not been passed yet?

They were continuing their drug run while clinging to wreckage of a boat on fire?

Are they going to have an AI version of Charlie Kirk?

(Opening my letterboxd watchlist).

Somali Americans make up 3% of the population in her district.

It's the opposite of "the buck stops here". He is selling out Admiral Bradley and sending chills down the spines of his chain of command, who now know their boss will sell them out if he is taking heat. A case study in how not to lead.

Sadly par for the course at this point.

I think I have to go with Harrison Ford. His stuff after, say 2000, isn’t great but I get the Star Wars original trilogy and the first 3 installments of Indiana Jones. Morgan Freeman might be a runner up because there is so much and some of it is excellent.

Conservative Evangelicals and the Religious Right are his strongest block of supporters.

"A clear violation of the law of war." - GOP Rep. Don Bacon, member of House Armed Services Committee, on the alleged Hegseth order

TRUMP: If you’re trafficking drugs to the U.S. via the Caribbean I will kill you. ALSO TRUMP: If you’re doing time because you helped traffic 400 tons of cocaine to the U.S. via Honduras you get a “Full and Complete Pardon.” www.justice.gov/archives/opa...

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

Facts matter. Beware of how lawyers and media pundits are intentionally framing these horrible crimes.

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours.

Ugh…terrible. abcnews.go.com/Politics/2-m...

Here come the decisions. Maybe today.

Ken Burns is a national treasure.

No the Democrats in this video aren't "implying" anything. Members of the armed forces ARE required to refuse illegal orders. This is simple. Not controversial at all. And it's super revealing that MAGA is so worried that troops won't carry out an illegal order from Trump.

Judge Currie rules Lindsey the Insurance Lawyer's appointment invalid, dismisses Comey's indictment without prejudice, but also says EDVA judges get to pick who is US Attorney. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Folks, ‘Pluribus’ (Creator Vince Gilligan of Breaking Bad fame) is really, really good.

They are terrorizing judges and judicial interns now.

Sound reasoning.

NEW: Just the President calling for the execution of his political opponents. Watch absolutely zero front pages cover this tomorrow.

Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

Walked past these MASSIVE FYC billboards (three huge ones) on 42nd St last night on my way home from a Marty Supreme screening and mused on how weird it is that someone who has built a career talking about how awful Hollywood elites are would spent this much money trying to get an award from them?

What in the world?

Many people don't realise how climate change is already - not in the future - affecting our lives. And it's doing so in ways that, once our eyes are opened, we can notice! For example, food. h/t @climatecentral.org

The right thing to do. Now, we will see.

Yikes.

Yep. There it is. We won’t see all the Epstein files.

Wow! So this seems big since California (via voters) just passed their new gerrymander? I mean..I’m sure SCOTUS will side with GOP but hey…a court win.

A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me

Q: Speaker Johnson is calling on the Senate to make revisions to this bill because he says it's doesn't adequately protect survivors MASSIE: That's been a red herring all along. The survivors have always been in favor of this legislation. He's trying to save face.

Very cool to talk to the one and only @zachwlambert.bsky.social about his brand new book from @brazospress.bsky.social: Better Ways to Read the Bible!
