So blowing up the dead body of the man Trump deliriously claims stole the 2020 presidential election from him was part of a *law enforcement operation* targeting an entirely different leader? Pull the other leg now.

It’s darkly humorous he can’t even muster the ability to give some lip service to democracy or allowing the Venezuelan people to choose their leader.

We don't have a government. We have a bunch of guys who heard things on social media. We don't have due process. We have entire groups being punished for the alleged actions of a few.

Just posted. I do love how much he hates this.

This is a great example that the US president is a lunatic. Listen carefully 🙈

I call them thugs and tyrants a lot. But always thinking about messaging, and this is something to consider.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

This is a textbook case of political asylum.

I mentioned this in my free newsletter last week but this seems to be a pattern. The fourth rooftop apprehension attempt I’ve heard of.

Trump: you mean I can be racist and lie and the press will be too afraid to call me a racist or a liar?! Awesome!

We review Tim Wu's The Age of Extraction, about how everything online has been designed to take from us. From Rhoda Feng, who writes that "In the digital age, the tollbooth has been reborn in algorithmic form." prospect.org/2025/12/10/i...

CNN put together a supercut of Trump calling affordability a "Democrat hoax" and "con job"

Elon Musk is against the European Union being the European Union —he posted this after X (fka Twitter) was fined for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.

The Secretary of Defense taking extrajudicial killing requests from podcast hosts

He was up posting over 150 deranged things on Truth Social last night, then started right back up again posting more at 5:48 AM this morning. bsky.app/profile/atru...

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

And the justification of the extra-judicial killings in the Caribbean is that they're carrying drugs to the US. This smells like a corrupt deal

🚨Imagine ICE conducting a raid on your PRIVATE PROPERTY.🚨 Illegal, unconstitutional, and an elevation of ICE’s encroachment. This needs to have national attention. 1/2

on the heels of the "piggy" incident. he's a piece of shit misogynist and sexual predator, and always has been. and people voted for him anyway.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

JD Vance and Peter Thiel are running a sustained operation out of the White House designed to acquire Greenland, either voluntarily or by force. Thiel has laid out plans for what he intends to do with the island nation in past writings. It doesn't entail the consent of the Greenlanders for anything.

I’ve been in a room with Putin. He calls Ukrainians “Russians with accents.” His real fear isn’t NATO expansion, it’s democracy expansion. It shatters his entire argument for dictatorship at home. Because if Ukrainians embrace freedom, Russians may demand the same.

The New York Times' story about Trump calling for the execution of members of Congress ran on Page 16 today, with an itty-bitty promo on the front about halfway down the page. No wonder Trump thinks he can get away with anything.

Found this 2019 clip from 100 days after Jamal Khashoggi was killed. I was asked by @glamour.com’s Sam Barry what I would say to Mohammed Bin Salman if I had the chance to face him again (I have met him twice). Here was my answer.

Will say again. If this was London or Paris, it would not be tolerated. But we expect Ukrainians to put up with this horror every night. Indeed, we in the west are getting inured to it. It should enrage us.

SOMEONE: Fuck you! BOVINO: That’s not very nice. THE MOST MOM VOICE YOU’VE EVER HEARD: Well, are you doing nice things?

Have you heard the good news? The preschool teacher⬇️ abducted & illegally detained by #ICE has been released. A judge ordered that 614 people illegally detained be released unless they're high risk—only 42 were. Judge McNally entered Broadview on Thursday with experts to document #ICELawlessness

As a historian of the 18th c and an American, I've always known 2026 would be a critical moment. This doc is worth watching, and thinking through. Begins and ends w Indigenous contexts, conveys the horrors of a civil war wrought w racism + the ideals of liberty and equality we keep reaching for. 1/

This. Is. Fabulous!!!

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @democrats.org Please, every Dem needs to learn how to fully REJECT all right wing framing when they answer questions or talk about any issues. What Rep Neguse just did here is brilliant and needs to be copied by every Dem every day.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Wait. What?

1) How is this legal; and 2) shouldn't this be public information under FOIA? The "anonymous donor" could be a foreign agent or country, a child sex trafficker, a drug dealer, whatever. "Trust me bro" is not an audit. Are they allowed to get away w/*everything*? 🧾 www.cnn.com/2025/10/24/p...

This morning I discussed the demolition of the East Wing and why it matters. Its rubble remains are a monument to the destruction of our system of checks and balances, and America's democratic system of government. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCI3...

Who is paying the bill here and what do they expect in return from our armed forces? Also, How is this real life?

Breaking: The Department of Justice announced it will "monitor polling sites in six jurisdictions [in New Jersey and California] ahead of the upcoming November 4, 2025, general election to ensure transparency, ballot security, and compliance with federal law." www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justi...

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating. When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

🚨Trump’s team is plotting to declare a fake "national emergency" to hijack elections. One operative says they can “take steps without Congress” and mandate state election rules. Independent, state-run elections are the last firewall between democracy and authoritarian rule.

North Carolina Republicans are saying the quiet part out loud. Openly admitting to drawing a congressional map for Donald Trump. It’s not just politics — it’s corruption. North Carolinians deserve free and fair elections, not gerrymandered districts.

Here's who @scottnover.bsky.social and I have confirmed so far. All right-wing bloggers and influencers who * agreed to the press restrictions refused by established reporters * are known for soft-touch treatment of the Trump administration * will now get special access to the "Department of War"

Raskin details how he tried to get unanimous consent today to force Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the Acting Speaker Haridopolos "scurried out of the room"

In case you’re wondering if the cult is still culting, I told a MAGA relative that Hakeem Jeffries posted an AI video of himself dumping shit on a Trump rally. She said only a “psycho”would do that. Then I said, actually, it was Trump, and showed her the video. She thought it was funny.
