This is quite possibly the most damaging headline I think I’ve ever seen from the @nytimes.com It’s not merely “CDC’s position,” it is established scientific fact Portraying RFK Jr as a brave, swashbuckling maverick—out there challenging “scientific orthodoxy”—is astoundingly irresponsible

Until now I thought this so-called “peace proposal” was just another Russian info-op. Turns out it’s real and it’s pure capitulation. 🚫 Written by non-diplomats, it hands Putin a veto over #NATO and demands Ukraine give up territory he couldn’t conquer in four years of war. Why reward aggression?

I love how the thesis of this piece is basically, "Look, it's not Olivia Nuzzi's fault, we are actually all like this. If anything, there are people who aspire to Nuzzi's journalistic standards!"

Hello, it's time to impeach

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

Remember a few weeks ago when Trump brought in a couple bulldozers and demolished about a third of the White House? That was weird.

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

The president is calling for members of Congress to be executed. Also known as Thursday.

"We live in an era where personal expression is saturated by digital filters, hivemind thinking is promoted through endless algorithms and academic freedom itself is under assault by the weakest minds among us. AI has only made this worse. It is a crisis."

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

The Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols. This action, coupled with the President's call to hang Democratic members of Congress - both in the past few hrs - are more than "potentially divisive." They are vile, unconscionable, and dangerous.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

If the President can impose his own taxes and use the proceeds to spend on his own projects, all without Congress, we have a dictatorship not a constitutional republic.

Did they ask the Prince why he didn't wear a suit?

Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

Terrific

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

5/ They did not need these votes to release the #EpsteinFiles. That's all we need to know. Trump/DOJ can release them any time they want, and could have. They won't.

Software utilities, I think, must be treated the same way: regulated (including price) and operated under oversight. Otherwise, they're just a robber-baron monopoly with a stranglehold on the economy. 4/5

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

Swalwell: Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, you should familiarize yourselves with this room. Get to know that witness chair — you’re going to be parked in it for a long time. Accountability is coming.

The reason you probably dislike Trump's "quiet, piggy" is that it's textbook hubris. It was bad enough an act 2500 years ago that hubris was punishable by death in Athens. It's an unacceptable act perpetrated by a man who today gloated and admonished while hosting a depraved murderer. It's hubris

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

There have been a lot of disgusting and surreal moments in the Oval Office over the last 10 months that disgrace the United States, but Trump publicly dismissing the brutal assassination of a Washington Post journalist as insignificant and blowing smoke up the ass of a despotic butcher is up there

In case you writers out there have ever felt imposter syndrome, "From his mouth the bullet theoretical launched the bullet possible" is an actual sentence in whatever this is.

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Unprecedentedly corrupt.

unintentionally revealing that he’s not in or even aware of any networks who are at this moment doing exactly what he claims no one is doing because he’s not doing it

If it wasn’t obvious before, perhaps now you can see why the patriarchy was so adamantly opposed to #MeToo. And those were ADULT women, not children.

We could've had VP Tim Walz sharing his Thanksgiving dressing recipe right now, but no

No one should have to face such threats. It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

Everyone knows that Olivia Nuzzi's "GOP men are soooo virile" stuff is pure propaganda, right? RIGHT?!

Wait. Why would Marjorie Taylor Greene calling to release the Epstein files be a betrayal to Donald Trump and the entire Republican Party?

WHY would we be holding meetings on going to war in Venezuela? What is the threat they pose to the US? News outlets are reporting that the US is planning a war and no one seems to want to know why.

BREAKING: In AAUP et al v. Trump (wall-to-wall union lawsuit challenging the administration’s unlawful use of TItle VI to reshape the University of California system), the faculty and staff of the UC system WON!!! We were granted our preliminary injunction! @aaup.org

Ahem. It's the job of the President to appoint DAs - with advice and consent from the Senate. The President can ignore that rule - but only once (per district) and only for 120 days. Do you know who appoints DAs after the 120 day mark has passed? Pam Bondi doesn't. Because it's the judiciary.

You also don't need to be currently serving to be impeached. William Belknap knew he was about to be impeached so he resigned to avoid it. Didn't matter. Got impeached anyway.

Imagine being such a horrible human being that one of the most horrible human beings on Earth, Jeffrey Epstein, thought you were the worst person he's ever met. That's Donald Trump: MAGA's King and Daddy.

jeffrey epstein calling trump "functionally illiterate" is so fucking funny in the context of all those emails where he types like he eats paint chips for breakfast

Every new report on the consequences of Trump’s dismantling of USAID is more horrifying than the last. One model estimates it's caused 600K deaths — two-thirds of them children. We can’t give Trump a blank check to keep destroying life-saving programs.

Yes! 'I am not safe' = problem for government 'I don't feel safe' = discussion for your therapist

ICE has been shooting American citizens lately, so it might be time to stop them. Like, right now.

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

Bessent: "I think that we're at the cusp of the liftoff. In 2026 and 2027 -- President Trump was committed to bringing manufacturing jobs back to America and this is the start."

Capitulation "Cornell University has agreed to pay $60 million and accept the Trump administration’s interpretation of civil rights laws in order to restore federal funding and end investigations into the Ivy League school."

Jesus, Donegan is good. Platner's defenders aren't really talking about winning elections. They're talking about who should count as a real American. That's why they appropriate working class culture, because they think that's really real.

Dragging teachers out of daycare centers and disappearing them into massive concentration camps, traumatizing children and terrorizing communities. This is what “mass deportation” means. The United States is on a dark and dangerous road that often ends in genocide.
