“What have I done!” 🤡

Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it. Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

Another major accomplishment for RFKJr.

For what it’s worth: Russian war channels confirm arrival of the North Korean troops to Ukrainian Huliaipole

Meta halted internal research that purportedly showed (young) people who stopped using Facebook became less depressed and anxious, according to an unredacted legal filing released on Friday. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/m...

While NYT and the major media are just saying how it's a tough and critical decision for Zelenskyy, HCR did a great podcast breaking down just how bad the US-proposed deal is for both Ukraine and the EU. Congress was blindsided. The American public seems largely ignorant of the content. 😥

speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.

In contrast to the positive contributions to scientific progress as described in the documentary The Thinking Game [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32150119/], there is this. [NYT gift link] And we will see a lot more of both (at breakneck speed).

This is sly posturing to counter the building backlash. Publically, she's starting to acknowledge the pains her base encounters daily, but when it comes to voting, she's still backing the MAGA/Trump agenda 100%.

No explanation, but it is clear that this is politicization of the military and about purging those who might be voices against deploying our armed forces against our own population in US cities. Their combat records far outshine those of Hegseth and his buddies.

The results in NYC (Mamdani) and Virginia (Spanberger) convey different messages. They are very different voter bases. I suspect the nation is more aligned with Spanberger, that centrist liberal politics isn't dead (even in NYC), but Cuomo was an appallingly poor candidate. Still, congrats to all!

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Scary that this lawsuit could very well be successful before a Texas jury that accepts the Trump/RFK Jr. propaganda over science. [Gift Link]

It's swell that the FBI is exposing fraud and criminal schemes in sports betting. It's a great distraction from the graft and corruption in the current administration, like the insider trading around the tariff flip-flopping, or Tom Homan, or Trump's current grab at $230 million of taxpayer money.

We’ve updated our story with an additional comment provided by the United States Justice Department.

If North Carolina enacts this new map, it will be sued. I don't bluff and I usually win.

He's literally promising to overturn our elections. So, will the media actually mention this?

This is why I continuously correct people on Border Patrol vs. ICE. Two different agencies, both under the DHS umbrella, with the former being *significantly* more aggro than the latter.

🚨BREAKING: North Carolina’s top elections official is pressing the state’s Division of Motor Vehicles for unprecedented access to voters’ full Social Security numbers — a move that could erode voter privacy protections and lay the groundwork for mass voter purges

Yup. Notably, neither Tom Homan nor anybody else in the Trump admin has outright denied that he took and kept the $50,000 in taxpayer money given to him by the FBI in their bribery scheme. Every time they’re asked, they either pivot or attack the questioner. But they don’t deny it.

This is a really good interview and Jake Auchincloss is spot-on with his positions on so many issues. Well worth a watch/listen.

Harmeet Dhillon (DOJ) publicly targeted this judge on Twitter a couple weeks ago.

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

RESIST!

Yes. @cristianfarias.com nails this. Not just the core holding of the Court’s immunity decision, but CJ Roberts’ gratuitous opining that the President’s control of DOJ - even for sham prosecutions - cannot be reviewed, imperils every person on Trump’s enemies list. nymag.com/intelligence...

In July, reports emerged that Blair’s thinktank worked on developing a postwar Gaza plan that included creation of “Trump Riviera” and a manufacturing zone named after Elon Musk. The project was led by Israeli business people using financial models developed by Boston Consulting Group

My latest, for @sfchronicle.com www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

In a genuine WOW moment, this administration publicly acknowledges (perhaps for the first time) that an ICE officer violated procedure and will be taken off duty and subject to an investigation. This is a step in the right direction — I just wish it wasn't only because of such an awful viral video.

Axios: Trump refused to sell NATO countries Tomahawk cruise missiles for further transfer to Ukraine.

DOJ has sued 8 states for protecting their citizens' sensitive voter registration data. My law firm has intervened to oppose DOJ's efforts in the first two states -- Maine and Oregon. Six more to go...
