Not for nothing but if you’re gonna print the Trump White House’s attack strategy verbatim you might want to offer an assessment of whether it will actually work? www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

They’re boring and they suck, even by Fanatics’ usual basic standards.

Artist’s rendering:

one thing i want to emphasize is these "illiberal" and "postliberal" authoritarians are just thieves and crooks! trump is thief. orban is a thief. putin is the biggest thief of them all.

Its incredible how stupid this country is

Also, when I say that Matt doesn’t understand public opinion, it’s not just the Abrego Garcia case. In the last couple of weeks, he’s also been wrong on what polling for climate change and birthright citizenship looks like. bsky.app/profile/clay...

my wife and her entire team were fired over Zoom from their program manager jobs at a local nonprofit Seattle hospital this Spring because Trump just stopped paying Medicaid reimbursements. and this is a relatively affluent urban center we're really not prepared for what's coming

He caused a lot of deaths so can someone ask him about this instead of blowing smoke up his ass www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/u...

yeah I really don't even think we've started to sniff the impact of the GOP's complete destruction of federal consumer protection and public safety regulatory independence, and that's just the tip of the iceberg this stuff is going to come in concussive, brutal waves

Flyers’ Klaatu, Barada, Nikto leading way as…

The European Commission seems to believe that rights are an obstacle to competitiveness and innovation, but real innovation means finding ways to make new technologies work for everyone’s benefit, writes Amnesty Tech's Joshua Franco.

As a Jew, I've always worried that "Never Again" would mean "Never Again TO US," but it's wild to see someone just come right out and say that.

This is like one of those people who after 9/11 was convinced that al-Qaeda was coming for Spartanburg, SC next www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/enterta...

Noah Smith is doing Judeo-Bolshevism but about Muslims and Arabs

"There are no meaningful subsidies for fossil fuels" The *direct federal* subsidies for the coal industry - so not the state stuff, not the pollution waivers, not other tax breaks, just 'the cash the federal government hands over to them' - is more than the industry pays in wages.

If you thought the “daily fantasy” sports betting companies were scummy…well, they’re actually even worse than that.

Digital Rulebook/Omnibus to modify #GDPR and #AIact is here. Analysis to follow. with respect to the leaked version, they EVEN WEAKENED THE DEFINITION OF PERSONAL DATA! ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae...

Alberta’s right-wing government doing their level best to tear Canada apart.

I dunno—these actually might be the best they’ve got.

How I look reading your posts:

What happens when your church starts to fuse with white Christian nationalism? Who knows! Probably something really great! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/u...

NEW: In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant. She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency. Then she died. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Ironically, the one company whose reputation Summers can’t actually worsen by his presence.

Slow-playing this would be a sure-fire way of keeping this issue unresolved and in the headlines. Nothing but masterful gambits as far as the eye can see.

This is the reason Republicans keep losing massively whenever they try making healthcare coverage the issue: The very concept of "shared risk" is something completely alien to their DNA. youtu.be/tXlXU_WXwMA

"we just fell in love with convoluted regulations for no reason and need to fall back in love with building things" is a lazy misdirection away from the fact that corporate power and extreme wealth have so grotesquely corrupted the American experiment it no longer serves the public interest

"maybe government should work better" is not an original, interesting, or particularly useful argument, much less any serious ideology

So much this. The Dems/liberals have not been spinning away from the center of American politics. Most of their stances are in the middle of the electorate, they have been recognizing election outcomes, and not inciting violence. GOP? Moving far away, denying elections, inciting violence.

Yet ANOTHER evidence-free & disastrous policy move by Alberta. NO evidence will help system. On the contrary: > costs < equity > inefficiencies < quality Are they TRYING to ruin AB? Alberta plans to allow doctors to deliver public & private services www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

NEW: ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.

one thing i think is true is that republicans assumed that democrats would not respond in kind and that the forceful pushback spooked them (a lesson to learn here, perhaps)

New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Brilliant @jamellebouie.net must-read on the “tight connection between autocratic governance and extreme graft,” how Trump-Republicanism is about “clearing the way for a smash and grab” to “siphon wealth from the public.” Savage, historically illuminating.

It’s just a machine for cruelty. It’s designed to grind up lives, and to provide the scaffolding of law and ideology for evildoers.

Tim Cook, of Apple, is at this dinner. The likes of Musk and Schwarzman—sure, that's who they are. But Cook has been groveling more than strictly necessary.

I think it should be a bigger deal that before Trump made him a life-tenured appeals court judge, Emil Bove was at DOJ taking the position that the White House should do war crimes

Yeah, that play was offside. They should take that last Red Wings goal off the board. #SEAvsDET

Not much Joey could do about the second goal, but he'll definitely want that first one back. As it stands, Daccord's error is the difference in what has otherwise been an even game. #SEAvsDET

Trump & the GOP: We will absolutely sell out any allied democracy.

A perfect storm.

Trump commuted the sentence of convicted scammer Eliyahi Weinstein in 2021. He's now going back to federal prison for 37 years after being convicted of a committing a new Ponzi scheme involving fraudulent promises of aid to war-torn Ukraine.

Now, you might be saying to yourself, "But is our president not a moist little boi?" and you would be correct. He's a glistening, sweaty little piggy. But moistness is not "having the juice." In many ways, it is the opposite.

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

We're going to have to replace the Pulitzers with the Fell For It Again Awards.
