A Costco in downtown Minneapolis would do crazy business.

Just imagine how bad the corruption is that even the institution that worked with Epstein is having qualms…

So grateful to everyone in NYC who mobilized to stop the ICE raid of Canal St. The violence being committed against immigrants is heart-wrenching, but the shows of solidarity we have seen around the country give me so much hope.

RIP. I remember Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead being front and center as I started my theater journey. Then, Arcadia bursting onto the scene. Buying the script for The Invention of Love, upset I hadn't been able to see it. And, most recently, seeing the incredible Leopoldstadt. A true great.

A polling thread: - Support for Trump and the GOP has collapsed over the past few months - He is now regularly polling in the mid 30s - Attacking Venezuela more unpopular than his handing of inflation - Consent of the governed has been withdrawn, regime may be facing a legitimacy crisis 👇

Gov Walz is saying what we’ve been saying. If the president is this erratic, then the public deserves to know what is going on. Four simple words: show the MRI results. If Trump is fine, prove it. If he isn’t, step aside.

“violent fantasy became an obsession, according to former Trump administration officials…“Fucking kill them all,” Trump would say. “An eye for an eye.” Other times he’d snap at his staff: “You just got to kill these people…Other countries do it all the time.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I often have to make ads on LinkedIn for work and today I had to click 'no' on exactly 8 prompts to make my ad with AI. If it's that good, or good for me, something tells me they wouldn't need to sell it so hard.

This is so deeply at odds with the vision and history of America. Take pretty much any ethnic or racial group that are part of the American mosaic America today - they have all faced the same accusation. The moment these accusations are turned into policy are some of the most shameful in US history

Really can't overstate how problematic robotaxis become at scale: "Urban traffic is constrained by the fact that getting around by car either requires (expensively) paying someone else to drive or (inconveniently) driving oneself. Without such constraints the result could be brutal gridlock."

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

HSBC forecasts that OpenAI is going to have nearly a half trillion in operating losses until 2030

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.

One deeply underappreciated aspect of MAHA is how much it's often a fig leaf for domestic abuse. I'm not surprised doctors on the ground belive men are withholding kids' vaccines as a way to control and terrorize their wives. They obviously are! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/o...

A day after an immigration raid outside an East Side home devolved into clashes with protesters, family members say they were taunted and humiliated during a standoff with federal agents. By Shubhanjana Das

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

For at least a year, I've been returning to the question, how would you know when it's time to leave the US? For this piece, I asked trans, nonbinary, and genderqueer Americans who, with their families and partners, have recently fled the country, about how they made this decision and how they left.

Shit St Paul ICE agent aims gun

West Point plaque: "Our code of military obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law."

Merrick Garland explain yourself…

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

X's location "transparency" feature showing many MAGA accounts are based internationally reveals what we already knew: The world is using American social media and American politics as a slot machine and social media companies are directly incentivizing this: www.404media.co/americas-pol...

BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders? McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took (Not a no!)

Some of us have been advocating this going back since chatGPT launched. It also has other benefits: correcting someone else's work is actually a really good way to learn something yourself.

they're spending billions of dollars to reinvent powerpoints so three shittily dressed guys can buy a fifth property and lobby against their unhoused neighbors

A very good piece. “The fact that many men believe they no longer even have to pretend to respect women in order to participate in public life makes it unlikely that anything will change anytime soon.”

Thomas Massie says the FBI is sitting on information that implicates 20 other men in Epstein's child sex trafficking operation They include a rockstar, six billionaires (including one from Canada), a high-profile government official, a very prominent banker, and a magician

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.

Plus, they have no idea if the guy is a citizen or not. He just “looks” foreign to them.

I went to a zoom training tonight for doing school patrols to protect parents & kids from ICE who are showing up at local schools. I cannot believe we live in a country where we as citizens have to patrol elementary schools. I cried. And was equally inspired by my neighbors.

Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families." Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN CONGRESS should be pressed about Trump calling for their colleagues to be killed

private equity buys a company and immediately starts torturing their employees and the money

Disability education should not be put into HHS because it's not a health issue, it's an education issue. The idea that disability = health is dehumanizing and, frankly, simply wrong.

Today on Volts: for years, I've wanted to do a podcast on indoor air quality, and I finally found the perfect guest! Dr. Lagoudas & I discuss indoor air pollutants, the policies and technologies that can control them, and the growing need to frame indoor air quality as a basic human right.

The darker chapters of public health history do not seem to faze anti-vaccine activists, who have long claimed that measles, a catastrophic disease, is no big deal. Now, it’s polio’s turn to be downplayed.

"ICE is grabbing people from the streets who aren't even undocumented or don't have criminal records at all" babe i don't think there is a group of people ICE should be grabbing people off the streets in the first place

Trump called a female reporter Piggy and said Kashoggi got what he deserved. The only thing he hates more than the press is a woman in the press. When we say we have no Congress, that's a literal interpretation. The duty of a "Representative" is to represent the people. Our Congress works for Trump

St. Paul, MN. ICE abducted someone here yesterday.

Montage of 19 clips of Trump insulting, berating, demeaning and attacking female reporters over the past few months. Part 1.

Trump officials deny that US citizens have been arrested in immigration raids. Local Chicago reporting has repeatedly shown otherwise.

"'Dónde está papi,' 'Where is daddy?' is the question I have heard from children in my community. Often, no one has answers as some detainees are never properly registered, and families don’t even know they have been taken." No one should ever have to experience this. We cannot look away.

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

Great @jamellebouie.net piece tying together many of the administration's grafts - for cash, for power... www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/o...

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say. "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Promise to tear down the Trump throne room of corruption. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

"These aren’t accidental successes. They’re the direct result of a built environment that actually works for urban retail: small buildings affordable enough for immigrant entrepreneurs, storefronts facing the street instead of parking lots, a walkable scale that encourages foot traffic. "

From two years ago: "The third part of Mr. Trump’s authoritarian blueprint is to create a legal framework that would allow him to use govt resources to protect himself, attack his political enemies & force through his policy goals w/o congressional approval." donmoynihan.substack.com/p/what-i-wro...
