Pretty remarkable that Trump has installed someone on the Saudi dole — Jared Kushner collects millions in fees from the Saudis every year — in a key role for America's most sensitive and consequential foreign policy negotiations (Gaza, Ukraine), and it is largely TREATED AS A NON-STORY

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

So, to recap, Ukraine and Europe understand that America has effectively endorsed a 28-point plan to force Kyiv to capitulate, set a Thursday deadline to accept it, and threatened to cut off all aid. Now Marco Rubio says it's all wrong, that's not the plan, there's no deadline and no threat.

If the 28-point plan came from Russia and somehow ended up in the hands of U.S. lawmakers, then we don’t have a “leak” problem we have a foreign influence problem. And anyone downplaying that should not be anywhere near national security decisions.

Yes. The question is not why Biden's debate performance generated a lot of negative coverage -- he was legitimately bad and was right to drop out -- but why Trump faring so badly against Harris that he turtled from any further debates generated so little

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.

Any President who calls for the opposition party to be hanged should be immediately impeached and removed from office.

You have to follow the link to Twitter to see Vindman's actual statement. He calls on Trump to release the transcript of his call with MBS after Khashoggi murder. But he makes pretty clear that Trump gave MBS a big high five after he ordered JK sawed into parts. x.com/RepVindman/s...

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

Imagine the arrogance of coming to another country as an immigrant, becoming a citizen, and then having the audacity to publicly say you're ready to destroy their constitution. He should have lost his citizenship awhile ago.

Everything Alex Jones feared would come to pass has been brought to fruition by his own party. He's so partisan that he won't admit that it was Trump and his cronies who have deployed everything he claimed to oppose.

President Trump walks past the flag at the White House, which has fallen to the ground 🇺🇸😣

I know this is old man yells at cloud but there is something in the constitution about this

Senator Menendez is sitting in his cell at Allenwood right now because he took a 1kg gold bar from the Egyptians, among other forms of “lobbying.”

By the way, Bondi released this just last July.

Not a critique of Tom at all, but how quickly we’ve acculturated ourselves to a world where the president publicly orders an investigation, and his AG salutes in plain sight. The corpse of the post-Watergate era is well and truly rotted through.

This is a better answer than I gave on The Source to @kaitlancollins.bsky.social last night.

This is what that really sounds like:

These Epstein emails make at least one thing abundantly clear: The rumors that Trump “kicked Epstein out of Mar a Lago and cut ties with him” were bullshit.

The feds under Trump are doing "Black Helicopter" shit at a rate that exceeds the wildest fever dreams of the paranoid right wingers of the Tea Party era. We've got dozens of Ruby Ridges every day, and the body count will likely soon approach Waco. And most of Trump's victims did no crimes.

In 2017, the sitting president had Thanksgiving with his old friend who had been convicted of sex crimes with a minor. And we’re only learning about this now?

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

🔥 The White House released an article on Monday citing a DoorDash report as confirmation that "inflation has been tamed." I asked a DoorDash spokesperson today if the company had concluded from its report that inflation had been tamed. DoorDash spokesperson told me, "We did not write that."

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

As Karoline Leavitt concludes her press briefing and walks off, @andrewfeinberg.com asks: "What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?" She did not respond.

Yeah whoever jacked up tariffs on coffee from Brazil earlier this year must be a real bonehead

And it's THREE YEARS after the disastrous deal from Alex Acosta. They are discussing their personal knowledge in context where they think they are immune from further prosecution. This isn't an "allegation"; this is an admission by co-conspirators.

the republican party is engaged in a cover up to keep the american people from learning whether president trump is president pedo

i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

trump made the prosecutor who gave epstein a pass the secretary of labor!

Beards: something no American warriors have sported while decimating an enemy.

It begins. Clearly incriminating evidence against president of the United States. Epstein to Maxwell, April 2, 2011: "i want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump. [VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc."

Pro tip: if you want people to stay united, the people who broke ranks have to feel consequences. Otherwise you'll never be more united than Sunday night.

It’s insane to treat the filibuster as the most sacrosanct. Article 1 power of the purse, oversight, and war? Nah. Emoluments clauses? Bribery prohibition? Meh. Criminal law? 14A? Doesn’t count. But maybe the Senate changes a rule it has multiple times before? Gasp! Not that. Anything but that.

I asked Georgetown law prof David Super wtf is going on with this latest demand for states to claw back benefits already sent out. He says the law doesn't allow for this, and if the USDA is mad that states already sent out SNAP money, too bad—they were following USDA's own guidance. Full comments:

“67% of Democrats say their own party makes them feel frustrated in the September survey – far higher than the roughly half who said this in 2021 and 2019.” Expect this number now to move much closer to 100%

NEW: Donald Trump has pardoned a long list of allies in his bid to subvert the 2020 election including: -Rudy Giuliani -John Eastman -Mark Meadows -Sidney Powell -Ken Chesebro -Christina Bobb -Kelli Ward -Jenna Ellis www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

New @nberpubs: "The Economic Impact of Brexit" www.nber.org/papers/w34459 "by 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time." 😲

The craziest part is that Republicans could’ve ended the shutdown on their own anytime they wanted. 50 senators is all it would take. But they didn’t feel like it. Which is accepted as a premise, so fixing things becomes Democrats’ responsibility, and apparently enough Democratic senators agree.

At some point we have to let pain hurt Trump instead of helping him. Every time we let pain help him, he’ll do more and bigger next time. Each acquiescence means the next one will be *more* painful.

I watched a clip of him this morning where he was like, "I haven't used chatgpt because no one's held a gun to my head to make me use chatgpt" lmao

Went back to the history of the Sicilian Mafia to illustrate something obvious but worth stating explicitly: The Trump administration behaves like an organized crime syndicate running a protection racket, not a representative government www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

we talk too much about the male loneliness crisis and not enough about the male suckerfication crisis maxread.substack.com/p/prediction...

Trying to imagine how the media would've treated Harris proudly campaigning with a guy like Antonio Brown the way Trump did

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...

Mike Johnson lies shamelessly: "Core inflation is nearing its lowest level in four years." (Inflation actually ticked up in September.)

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not
