Whether it’s Barack Obama being the editor of Harvard Law Review or Donald Trump narrowly passing a cognitive test used to detect dementia, there’s plenty of serious intellectual accomplishments on both sides of the aisle.

Trump celebrates the sexual assault of his 250th victim.

Even the dogs knew this guy was a threat.

The conundrum of tariffs and immigration.

If you're looking for a last minute holiday gift for your local elected Republican official, might I suggest a large burning bag of poop 💩 left on their front door step tonight. It's the perfect way to show them your gratitude for the year of misery they have given us.

Just asking: How many abortions, suicides, or murders in Trump and Epstein responsible for?

The Epstein files are looking more and more like a mash-up of Pasolini's "Salo: 120 Days of Sodom" and Visconti's "The Damned."

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

From the Washington Post: Said right-wing blogger Matt Walsh on X: “That was perhaps the most pointless prime time presidential address ever delivered in American history."

Feverishly working on this

Damn 🔥🔥🔥

Steve Cropper, the prodigious guitarist, songwriter and producer who played a pivotal role in shaping the lean gutbucket soul music made at Memphis’s Stax Records in the 1960s and ’70s, has died at 84.

Looks like Trump and Hegseth might be preparing to throw the military under the bus on the second strike. This is why you don’t execute illegal orders. Because you are responsible

Another Massachusetts Thanksgiving story. A cautionary tale.

So at the beginning of Nov Congress would have been paid, unless they specifically had their pay check held. I would argue they should donate it because they haven’t worked. Maybe a good question for reporters to catalog?

Once upon a time, American soldiers handed out food to Germans because *they* had followed a fascist madman into national ruin. How times change.

💥 A group founded by Stephen Miller filed a federal complaint in July against the 2025 World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers for their commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. The team's website continues to display its commitment to DEI. Congratulations, Dodgers! #Dodgers #WorldSeries

A long-deranged and deeply depraved man with a pronouncedly and acceleratingly deteriorating mind announces that he intends to play with the large arsenal of nuclear weapons he controls. But it's okay, because he's not seeking a third term.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

Padres manager Mike Shildt said he retired in part because of death threats from sports bettors:

Best Samuel L. Jackson voice: Mother fucker I will mock you and make fun of you till the day I die. Fuck you!

Today's literary thought of the day:

CHARLIE KIRK WAS A FASCIST CUCK. PROVE ME WRONG

Czars, and other tyrants, always look best lying in a coffin.

Charlie Kirk was a man so deeply committed to freedom of speech and enlightened, reasonable debate that you are not allowed to quote anything he said ever again.

Congress passed a bipartisan law long ago mandating that a plaque honoring the officers who defended Capitol on J6 be displayed in the building. Mike Johnson has ignored that law and refuses to do it.

Forward this letter from me to any Trump voters you know. Who knows? It might just help. Thanks.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

There was an interesting question I saw from someone recently that was asking why there are no historians writing "for the other side." Essentially, why are there no "pro-Trump Heather Cox Richardsons?" The answer lies in our training.

Slavery was, in fact, bad — an opinion almost universally held until about five minutes ago, but now questioned by the President of the United States. The war on history is a war on memory. And, once again, it seems to be succeeding. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...
