CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

One notable thing about this reporting js that sending photographers to places is helpful to understand situations.

I know there’s a lot going on in the world but this is going to create so many gay people 🥰

How much more in your face can it be? "Why are you asking me for my paperwork?" "Because of your accent." "You have an accent too." "Where were you born sir?" "Where were you born at?" "Put your hands behind your back."

They have quite an operation going. www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

“organized gangs of wine moms”

Incredible piece about protesters from different US cities who all have one thing in common: they lost an eye during a George Floyd protests in when police shot them with "less lethal" crowd-control weapons www.narratively.com/p/the-shot-i...

This one has legs.

My show is on. 🍿🍿🍿

Look what they took from us

The amount of things that happen in the first episode of Alias would take up a full Apple show’s first season now.

I know there’s a lot going on right now but why is panettone so confusing? It’s not a pastry, it’s kind of a bread, it’s not dessert, but it’s not breakfast. Who wanted this!

Finally some answers about Stanley Kubrick, Jeffrey Epstein, pedophile cults, “Eyes Wide Shut” and of course the moon landing.

This should not be possible.

I need to self-harm with this.

It took me about 10 minutes to leave Spotify and move to … Qobuz. Almost everything about it is better. There’s a couple quirky irritating experience things and also I will never say “Qobuz” aloud. They can change the name! Also I don’t know who they are but they really care about new music.

Hey I found something online.

Hope this helos someone www.cnn.com/2025/12/03/h...

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

Also I am pretty sure I could have made out with my number-one celebrity crush but I was on assignment and very carefully extricated myself, while you were all out there banging governors and engaging in regime change? I’m such a loser.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

We as a country must dedicate our entire national energy to making sure that Ryan Murphy does not make a mini series about Olivia Nuzzi and Ryan Lizza.

I hope my whole family is ready for me to deliver a power point presentation on the Lizza/Nuzzi situation at Thanksgiving.

The newsletters will continue until morale improves

Today has been A LOT in the news cycle.

RIP to poetry.

Today is my first day as a sports writer at @cnn.com. I'll be covering all sports, not just baseball (but also baseball, see you back at the ballpark come spring!) and I want to dig in especially on the weird, the niche, the nontraditional, and youth sports. So get at me with stories in that realm.

Oh!!!!

It was cool to see people having a big reality-based conversation about harm reduction. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/o...

There is way more Virginia than hardly anyone knows about, someone should do something!

You’re telling me.

I finally watched the long AI video about Mamdani’s New York and I have so many questions, also they leaned into racist tropes so niche I wasn’t even aware of them

Just speaking financially and sociologically, this would be the greatest thing ever.

“I dumped him after I found out he was a terf and I’d do it again” 👀👀👀

🚨 1/ SCOOP We all know Pamela Paul is not a good journalist. But in her (poorly argued) WSJ screed on the alleged "growing divide" in LGBTQ circles abt trans rights, she reports ESPECIALLY badly—including abt Jose Arango & his boyfriend who dumped him. Paul didn't talk to the boyfriend. I did.

The content I crave.

I did not enjoy writing this; it can't even serve as an ad for my newsletter, which I've suspended due to an overbilling situation that has me almost regretting leaving Substack. But, you know, it's evidence for the piece I just didn't get to include. talkingpointsmemo.com/tpm-25/patro...

I know this is extremely unwell of me but I wish this mayoral race could go on forever.
