In case folks forgot what happened, Khashoggi entered a Saudi consulate in Istanbul to get a document so he could get married while his fiancée waited outside. He never left because he was murdered and dismembered with a bone saw inside the building. The US intel community said MBS ordered it.

NEW: a contractor is paying random people $300 to physically track immigrants for ICE. They're given addresses, vehicles, told to monitor the target. That information then goes back up to ICE. These are not licensed private investigators; members of the public www.404media.co/contractor-p...

Approximately 30% of all job postings are fake, with millions of ghost jobs making a tough hiring process even worse.

Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions? I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?

Jim Jordan begged someone to not rat out the sexual assault that was happening at Ohio State. He was crying on the phone. Groveling. This man threw out all his dignity to try and cover for horrifying crimes of sexual abuse. Think about that for a moment.

" A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about." Sending a message to journalists in the room and all around the world ...

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism. Got it.

The thing about the latest news in the Nuzzi/Lizza story is that RFK cost the nation its measles elimination status.

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

Let's call it the Trump Murder Memo. Based on what we know about it, this memo looks like it may be substantially worse than the Bush torture memo. Liberal commentators should be talking more about this. #TrumpMurderMemo

A police officer in Tennessee who was working JD Vance's motorcade is in critical condition after a crash. I haven't seen a single statement of condolences or prayer from Vance about the officer in days. If someone got hurt for you, wouldn't you at the very least say something?

Imagine that. Ignore the fearmongering. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/14/n...

5 headlines tonight on Charlotte Observer’s homepage: “Manolo's Bakery closes to protect customers” “Church members flee as federal agents arrive” “Super G executive describes agents dragging out teen employee” “Border Patrol questions people at Walmart” “Border Patrol sweep sparks fear”

lol last night was a rerun

What we're reading: A non-partisan report found that Trump’s attempted military takeover of blue cities has already cost taxpayers $500 million. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-military-takeover-cities-cost-b2863774.html

And guess who will be paying for it? Not the guys profiting of it.

Next time Trump claims to be fighting for Jews — spoiler alert: he doesn’t give a damn about Jews — remember that he keeps hiring Jew haters in his administration. The latest: Paul Ingrassia, the guy rejected by the Senate because he said he likes Nazism & racism.

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Holy shit! I just watched Orwell: 2+2=5 & it SHOULD win Best Documentary. It won’t for many reasons having nothing to do with its quality, but it should. Everyone MUST watch. Seriously!

All of the societal effort that goes into making the wealthy happy is like if every year 50% of the money generated in Canada went towards teaching thousands of dogs to become cardiothoracic surgeons. It's not going to happen, it hardly creates any jobs, and it's fucking up the dogs.

"A citizens group in Ontario, California is spearheading an effort to make the community aware of incidents involving federal immigration agents. They're placing signs at the locations that read, 'ICE stole someone here'..." abc7.com/post/ontario...

ICE has arrested about 600 immigrants in the city of Chicago. You know how many of them have criminal records? Sixteen. They promised to secure the border and remove anybody who was violent — and they lied.

Holy shit! After Megyn Kelly gave a free pass to pedophiles Trump and Jeffrey Epstein to fuck children, this 14-year-old girl just gave Kelly a brutal reality check. 😳👇

Today, I saw a vehicle engulfed in flames on the 101, near downtown. No police of fire vehicles yet, so must’ve just happened. But also, no other vehicle involved, like it just exploded. Saw no people either, so fear the worst there.

I sense a Trump pardon in his future!

See that Rolex clock and gold bar? It looks like those Swiss gifts paid off. Trump cut tariffs on Swiss goods — like luxury watches — from 39% to 15%. While Trump’s tariffs increase prices for Americans, billionaire CEOs and foreign companies sucking up to Trump get relief.

When the government says if you fight for the United States you’ll become a citizen they’re lying. Donny Bone Spurs has deported many U.S. veterans.

Listen to this Border Patrol agent cry about how he's going to be DOXXED after being arrested for drunkenly barging into a woman's restroom with a loaded gun, demanding a date from the woman inside, and then punching the arresting officers.

Congress’s shutdown deal eliminated key food safety rules, blocking agencies from enforcing measures to prevent contamination and trace outbreaks. This rollback has coincided with a surge in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.

I just dreamed I was on the top floor of a hotel, when all of a sudden it pitched sideways & then we were falling, seemingly forever. In case you want a sense of what my subconscious is thinking.

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector. 100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land. That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.

Epstein offered the NY Times photos of Trump with young girls in bikinis during his first campaign in 2015. The NY Times declined them because they were just too busy hyperventilating over Hillary’s private email server. Support independent media.

Trump announces new Iceberg Plan, wherein the elderly & the disabled are abandoned on an ice floe & left to die. For the good of the country!

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

this dweeb doesn't even seem to be a US citizen. He's a student from the UK. hard to prove from the evidence online that he's not naturalized. (even then the below would be pretty rich). But he seems to be some posh brit here on a student visa.

"the latest batch of documents from disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein is 'explosive' and seems to implicate President Donald Trump's deputy attorney general in a massive "m'cover-up.'" www.rawstory.com/todd-blanche...

Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Full story by @josephcox.bsky.social here: www.404media.co/google-has-c...

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Ken Starr, immediately after being fired for his role in the coverup of sexual abuse at Baylor: I should reach out to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein this happened! this is a thing that happened!

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived. (Published October)

Free Sarah Kendzior.

Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

Hidden in the bill is a secret side note to allow corrupted Congress members to sue the government for $500,000 if they seize their phone records without letting them know first.
