“Russia has almost certainly suffered more than 1M total casualties in the war so far, and…at the present rate of advance it would take five more years for Russia to take the four oblasts (provinces) it’s seeking to conquer and cost a total of almost four million casualties…1/8

Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair. Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority. We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.

Among white people, the correlation between racial resentment and their voting decision is much, much stronger than between educational attainment and political alignment. In fact, if you control for racial resentment, education polarization basically disappears.

At many Coast Guard sites “the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees both the Coast Guard and ICE, is prioritizing immigration enforcement over coastal safety, and partisan politics over a legacy of trust and communication.” endangering the people who live nearby…So wrong

Among the things I am thankful for is the courage and patriotism of all the federal workers who blew the whistle on agency policies that harm Americans, and those who support us. #CourageIsContagious Art by @drrabbithole.bsky.social

“Thirty years after the first COP meeting took place in Berlin, and one decade on from Paris, that road map must be expanded to include a plan to phase out fossil fuels. Failure to do so will leave none of us unscathed.”https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-03851-6

Trump honoring Afghan translators at the White House in 2019

Donald Trump granted 238 pardons and commutations in his first term. In his second, he has issued nearly 2,000. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/zjYIcX

On this day in 1995, an article published by a Princeton University professor entitled "The Coming of the Super-Predators" wrongly predicted that violence in the U.S. would rise dramatically due to growing "moral poverty" by poor and minority youth.

Advocates in New Jersey say lawmakers should codify into state law a directive that restricts local collaboration with ICE. “We need to do whatever we can in New Jersey to protect our people,” says the director of the ACLU in the state.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

I stood with community leaders at the ICE facility in Burlington today to say: No family should fear separation. No refugee should be stranded. No human being should be denied dignity. The Trump administration has broken our promise of justice and we must repair it.

Many of the tax-optimizing schemes have exotic names, usually mixing humour and cynicism, such as the ‘Dutch Sandwich’ [to avoid EU withholding taxes on untaxed profits moved to non-EU tax havens], the ‘Double Irish’ [to avoid US corporate taxation on most non-US profits], /

Prediction: Some will seize on the shooting to try to pull Dems back to a position of cowardice on Trump's deportations, and Stephen Miller will scam dimwit commentators into making this case as well, but what happened ultimately won't dent public disapproval of the raids/arrests in the slightest.

Maybe Hegseth and Trump could also send 500 National Guard members to Kentucky, to help administer pertussis vaccines. Since saving lives is their thing. www.wlwt.com/article/kent...

‼️‼️ Newly released emails show the FBI spent almost $1 million in overtime analyzing the Epstein files as part of an effort dubbed the “Special Redaction Project."

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

Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

I’ve decided to go on offense.

We found more than two dozen cases of immigration agents using "less lethal" weapons in ways that appear to flout the government's own rules, including by aiming at someone’s head, spine or groin or deploying chemical agents near children. With @frontlinepbs.bsky.social

NEW: Data on Russian forces’ rate of advance indicates that a Russian military victory in Ukraine is not inevitable, and a rapid Russian seizure of the rest of Donetsk Oblast is not imminent. Russian advances elsewhere on the frontline have been opportunistic and exploited seasonal weather. ⬇️🧵

It’s awful to hear that National Guard troops were shot after they were needlessly-and possibly illegally-deployed to Washington DC Tomorrow many of us will sit down with our families for Thanksgiving-while they will likely be in hospital beds So consider taking just one moment to think of them

"Health experts warn that decreased vaccine rates have correlated to increased outbreaks in the last several years of vaccine-preventable diseases including measles and pertussis." #RSNA25 abcnews.go.com/Health/new-c...

Thanksgiving remarks of @VP J.D. Vance: "Think about turkey. Who really likes, be honest with yourselves, who really likes turkey? You're all full of shit. Everybody who raised your hand." Vance said to U.S. troops at Fort Campbell www.mediaite.com/media/tv/vic... #wtf?

The Georgia prosecutor has dropped the charges against Trump and his co-conspirators who plotted to steal 11,780 votes in Georgia so he could overturn the 2020 election. Peter Skandalakis appointed himself the prosecutor in the case after Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was removed.

Thanks to Denice Ross for the lovely shout out! We agree that the data need to keep flowing. Help us raise awaress about why public data matter!

While many of us travel to be with our loved ones during the busiest travel season, imagine being forced away from your family and community — and in shackles. That's what happens on ICE Air. Take action to #DeICEflights SEIU.org/DeICEflights

Frikkin amazing stuff.

Hey, congratulations to all of Olivia Nuzzi’s horny media critic defenders. Heckuva job!

Overwhelmed after that long shutdown vacation? What a wimp! He’s paid by taxpayers, gets healthcare and later a pension on our dime but he doesn’t do the job as a Congressional representative speaking for the people’s interests!

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

Ironic that some of the best selling EVs sold in the US and the only US made car I've ever bought was an EV made in Georgia. Have pride in your Georgia made EVs folks! They are some of the best cars available in the US. www.cars.com/articles/202...

Hero Captain Mark Kelly “His potential crime? Telling members of the armed services that they do not have to follow illegal orders. But saying so is not a crime; it’s a true statement of the law. And even if President Trump doesn’t like it, it’s protected by the First Amendment.”

The stench of grift “Trump’s transition team refused to sign an agreement with the General Services Administration that would have required it to publish the names of its contributors & the amount of $$ they donated within 30 days of the inauguration in exchange for more than $7M in federal funding”

Outgoing NYC Comptroller Brad Lander is recommending that the city's 3 largest pensions drop Blackrock & two other large asset managers due to their failures to address the risks to portfolio value from rising GHG emissions. If those pensions agree, this will be a very big deal.

Powerful.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Democrat (& @runforsomething.net alum!!) @aftynbehn.bsky.social is only down 2 points in a district Trump won by 22 points 👀👀👀 emersoncollegepolling.com/tennessee-7t...

“reformers are focusing on consumers’ power to push back on the policies of the Trump administration, launching a campaign they call “We Ain’t Buying It.” “We aren’t just consumers; we’re community builders,” their website says. “We’re driving the change we want to see, and demanding respect.”1/3

“Last week, a poll conducted for Global EV Alliance, made up of electric vehicle driver associations around the world, found that 52% of Americans would avoid buying a Tesla for political reasons.” I didn’t answer that poll but am in the market right now for a nonTesla EV 🤣

More elections are already around the corner, mere days. And Democrats have opportunities to build on their November gains by flipping more offices: in Tennessee, in Georgia, in Florida. And that's just the tip of a busy election month. My new guide, just out:
