This seems like kind of a big deal.

Yeah, despite the rumblings from other reporters this still feels like another bit of Axios wishcasting. What's for certain is that any Democrat who votes to cave now and betray the base in exchange for nothing at all will live to regret it.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

FUCK

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

In these dark times we must take joy wherever we find it, and I delight in every picture of how hideous Trump has made his White House look. No part of the decoration has been made to fit with any other. It’s a parody of elitism: witless, crude, clumsy, jarring, cheap, ugly, pathetic. It’s so him

People wildly overestimate the economic security experienced by past generations. There's no period in American history where significant numbers of young people were just handed high paying jobs. Nostalgia for a time that never existed is a huge problem.

If you know anyone who works on medieval Judaism, please send them this! Binghamton is hiring a Talmud/Rabbinics assistant prof: half in Judaic Studies, half in the Med/Ren center. A killer R1 job for the right person, and not a ton of applicants so far....

SCOOP: Alexander Smirnov, the FBI informant convicted of lying about a fake bribery scheme involving the Bidens has been quietly released from prison just months into a six-year sentence—raising concern he could be pardoned by Trump any moment. jacquelinesweet.substack.com/p/fbi-inform...

A majority of the days the government has ever been shut down, Donald Trump was president. www.howtoreadthisch.art/red-versus-b...

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

go folksy go brokesy

Chad’s wife is a federal judge who was appointed by Trump and confirmed despite a Not Qualified rating from the ABA. She issued a nationwide block on Biden’s public transit mask mandate and also struck down a ban on guns in post offices. No complaints about activist judges from Chad then?

do you remember the post a while back where someone suggested a sitcom where Cuomo and Dershowitz are roommates in new york city and every episode Cuomo loses an election and Dershowitz is refused a pierogi?

I am not a lawyer but The Blaze story accusing a former Capitol Police officer of being the January pipe bomber hits a lot of the hard to achieve qualifications for a defamation case: -A non famous person being accused of a serious crime -Previous motivation to go after her, she's been harassed/

Feel like this gives me a good option for a drag name, if I ever need one.

It was probably that Benedict Cumberbatch

The AI loan approval system:

the jury nullification take is wrong. If that’s what had happened they wouldn’t have sent a note to the judge asking for definitions of relevant terms. They just didn’t think he did the crime after considering the evidence and following the given instructions. Don’t charge sandwich cases.

One more bit — **Novo Nordisk confirmed to my colleague that their employee Gordon Findlay was not in the Oval Office today.**

fact check: true.

I agree, the lesson Republicans should learn from this week going into 2026 is to ratchet up the MAGA to 11 and put forward the most MAGA candidates that ever did MAGA.

For those who aren't keeping up, Mamdani is a Zionist now (for condeming swastika graffiti on a yeshiva)

There are now cement trucks entering the White House construction site, which is not what you'd expect for a project that hasn't been reviewed by anyone yet. The White House has previously said no NCPC approvals are needed yet because they're just doing demo, not construction.

“.. in a group Signal chat, .. he wrote in part: ‘I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.’” @reuters.com #Chicago www.reuters.com/world/us/bor...

“Mommy! Mommy! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!” — Leia Kahl, as she was overwhelmed by immigration agents’ tear gas. Leia’s age: 2. Via @natashakorecki.bsky.social www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Here’s Bovino’s logic: anyone protesting is inherently advocating for violence, so his agents are implicitly justified in using physical violence, which does not qualify as “force,” because anything they do to protesters is lawful.

So if the President says the tariffs are to raise revenue, that's different, but if he says they're to regulate trade, that's ok, but in fact he says both at the same time because he is not disciplined and doesn't know why he's doing them. /14

Federal immigration cops are using "wellness checks" on minors as a ruse to get into homes and arrest people for alleged immigration violations. In this case, an alleged check on a 17-year-old let them arrest his 22-year-old brother, who was brought here at 11 and has protected status.

What I would also add to this, is four more years of politics being focused on Left-Liberals vs Reform will do profound damage to race relations even if Reform is ultimately defeated. Everywhere you go people are reporting increased racist abuse & the coarsened public debate is visible in the media

The new #criticalrole Campaign 4 intro is disturbing, atmospheric and just plain dope.

Exactly! Or the public defender as Public.

Like addressing the DA as "District".

Slight addendum: in this case, it's the Solicitor General.

Just left the latest hearing in Jim Comey's criminal case. It did not go well for DOJ The magistrate judge scolded them for an "indict first, investigate second" posture and ordered them to turn over reams of material — including all grand jury info — to Comey's team Details TK

I will continue to contend to my dying day that addressing an Attorney General as "General" is super fucking dumb.

Needs a “Live. Laugh. Love.” stenciled under it

the vibe on twitter is so bad the racist coffee companies are beefing over who is more woke

dawg not the steakhouse wedding font

I like that republicans keep calling mamdani a “literal communist” because they’ve been calling everyone to the left of william mckinley a communist for a hundred years and they need to distinguish

well I for one am shocked that "every aspect of your life gets worse forever and also look at my marble bathroom" did not turn out to be a winning election strategy

Democrats have flipped 2 seats in the Mississippi senate, and in so doing they've broken the GOP's supermajority in the chamber.

Oh and also JD Vance's brother lost the Cincinnati mayor race.

Livingstone was an excellent mayor in his first term - energised, focused and effective. He secured the Olympics and a day later responded brilliantly to the 7th July terrorist attacks. After that, though, he went rapidly down hill. It was sad to see and such a waste.

A major city elected an openly socialist mayor who the centre-left party institution tried to stop, and ran an alternative candidate against him? He's a bit of a populist? The Jewish community was freaked out because of his positions on Israel and Zionism? Yes, it's London in 2000.
