Bowser on injured National Guard members: "These young people should be at home in West Virginia with their families"

The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.

This is how Enron did its accounting (seriously)

We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked

You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up. Your 70% number is just a fabrication. And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Seriously everything, EVERYTHING about the RFK/Nuzzi/LIzza moment is an argument for a newsroom where you pitch stories in front of each other and editors who shield you from your own worst impulses.

Yes. And then also fired a ton of senior agents with a ton of counterterrorism experience, including the Acting Director.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store. Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

It is also important to keep in mind that one of the first immigration actions Trump & Miller took was stranding the next batch of these Afghan refugees who were approved & waiting to come here. Essentially condemning them to persecution & possible torture or death.

What workload? All he does is schedule vacation time, hold press conferences to announce he has no knowledge of anything, and monitors his son's porn usage. Did anyone every figure out where his paycheck actually gets deposited since he doesn't have a bank account? That would be good to know.

Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback. www.reuters.com/investigates...

Have we ever heard anything ever again about Charlie Kirk’s shooter??

I bet in all of history we could count on one hand how many US Attorneys, whether properly or improperly appointed, have been sanctioned for nearly $1 million for arguing frivolous legal theories for a political purpose. In fact, bet it is even on just one finger.

Who knew that it was so exhausting to... *not* do your job? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

"The history books will look back on what the country lost by not having a televised trial before November 2024 and historians will wonder what Fani Willis was thinking. And they'll just scratch their heads," Kreis, a law professor, told The Guardian… www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Collective, racist punishment.

Trump's speech about the shooting in DC veered into him attacking the Somali community in Minnesota, which of course had nothing to do with the shooting. Gives away his bigoted game.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump calls for reinvestigation of all Afghan refugees who entered under Biden admin after National Guard shooting.

"We have a first amendment right to coordinate our market activity" is not going to be a viable claim, guys

“.. Japanese officials said the message was worrying: the president didn’t want friction over Taiwan to endanger a detente reached last month with Xi, which includes a promise to buy more agricultural products from American farmers ..” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/world/china/...

This is nuts! Why is WAPO writing up anyone’s speculation about who the suspect might be? I get that Laura’s statements and actions are at times newsworthy given her influence on Trump, but no one’s speculation — outside of a government official’s — should be written up this way.

I guess it’s a good thing we were so concerned about the right to speak our opinions being outlawed by a ruling class that we guaranteed it by making it the very first amendment in our Bill of Rights when we formed the country.

An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention. Profoundly, profoundly anti-American shit.

the requirement is, of course, “be white” amp.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Sure, you can make it sound weird if you try, but who among us HASN'T sent a courtroom sketch artist into Mar-A-Lago with a concealed tape recorder in order to secretly record the president's conversations with an eye toward helping our sexting partner, the nation's dangerous anti-vax crusader and s

“They should do it the right way”

fuck you the memories of a generation lost because of Reagan's homophobia will not be erased i think we should do something in DC that would make david wojnarowicz proud tbh

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?

“It’s hard to find anyone outside Mr. Trump’s inner circle of solicitous advisers who considers the killings legal. The administration has notably declined to publicly disclose the memo that purports to advance a legal rationale for the strikes.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/o...

*Such* a pit in my stomach about the Georgia case. Such a wasted possibility. It's hard to avoid simultaneously crediting Willis for a strong, convincing, aggressive, and important set of indictments, and blaming her for the catastrophic misjudgment that made it impossible to have a trial in 2024.

😂😂😂 Terrible news for Pulte. Fantastic news for the rule of law.

James Bond supervillains threaten to blow up the world with their big laser unless you pay them a trillion dollars. Real American supervillains embed themselves in the economy and threaten to cause a depression unless you subsidize their sex robots and the weird chatbots they use to avoid humans.

I went to a black-tie wedding at the Bacara thrown by a client. By the end of it he was yelling at me that he wanted me to sue the ice sculpture vendor IMMEDIATELY. The rich are different than normal people.
