Polish Foreign Minister replies to Musk: 🇵🇱

The Russian government represents Putin and his cronies. Musk represents himself.

So hard to watch well-established medical advances being discarded willfully 🧪 #MedSky Hepatitis B vaccine guidance set to be rolled back for US babies: what the science says www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/democrats-...

Hegseth lied after leaking classified information on Signal. He also lied after the second boat strike. He is unfit to serve. Hegseth must resign.

FIFA: Federation Issuing Fascist Awards

The DOJ is hemorrhaging staff, morale and commitment, as experienced prosecutors are sacked and replaced by unqualified political sycophants. Trump's Gangster State endangers public safety and national security.

A reader comments "So the elimination of 30 million girls is now a sad story about how men are lonely?"

I’m confused because Trump months ago demanded that India stop buying Russian oil and he told us that Modi agreed not to. What happened with that?

Waiting for them to start claiming that the alleged pipe bomber is either Antifa or trans.

I am curious to see if Europe takes the approach that Brazil did when Elon simply refuses to follow the laws in the market he's operating in.

Hannah reminds us why we have a cabinet with "talents" like Pete Hegseth, Kristi Noem, RFKJr and Pam Bondi...

After reporting false claims from DHS hundreds of times, NYT finally gets around to apprising its readers of the fact that these claims are false. This report is fine. The rest are shoddy journalism.

Vandalism

Kushner said he wouldn't have a foreign policy role in this administration just like the Trump Organization said it wouldn't make new foreign deals, just like Karoline Leavitt said Trump has never engaged in a conflict of interest.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER. My latest in @thenation.com

Here's a real mood lifter: Kate Pierson of the B-52's teams up with Uniting Voices Chicago (formerly known as the Chicago Children's Choir) to perform a joyous, dance-pop version of Patti Smith's anthem "People Have the Power."

"He would not specify the criteria agents were using to justify pulling people over during the operation, which has been ongoing in the Key Largo area for the past few weeks." www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

214 House Democrats have signed the discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits. We only need 4 Republicans to sign. House GOP: Join us NOW before it's too late.

Jamie Raskin is investigating CBS News and Paramount over whether Trump “improperly influenced and coerced” the network’s editing of the president’s recent interview with 60 Minutes, saying the new ombudsman is acting as "a censor enforcing Trump’s demands." www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

If Jeffries is on TV spreading pro-Trump falsehoods about the border because he thinks that pivots away from Trump’s strength—or something along those lines—it’s not only wrong on principle, it’s bad political strategy. GOP-friendly polling aggregator RCP currently has Trump at -6.5 on immigration.

He shouldn’t just be pushed out as the House Democrats’ leader; he needs to be primaried out of his seat entirely. Just a complete waste of a deep blue seat.

This week Trump pardoned a private equity fraudster, the drug-trafficking ex-president of Honduras, and a Congressman who allegedly took bribes. Meanwhile, he's weaponizing government to go after his enemies. An utter mockery of the rule of law. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NflcWXdV-B0

While we were sleeping, a huge ruling: Federal judge blocks the Trump administration from warrantless immigration arrests in Washington, D.C. “without a pre-arrest individualized determination … of probable cause.” She addresses Kavanaugh stops head on. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Federal agents shouldn’t be chasing, arresting, or shooting crowd control munitions at journalists or anyone else for one simple act: recording them in public. It’s a First Amendment right, and often the only tool we have to hold powerful agencies accountable.

Why is House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries lying on Donald Trump's behalf? The US-Mexico border was not insecure last year and secure this year. That is not true.

Imagine if Senate and House Dems made a criminal referral to DOJ over Kushner’s corrupt involvement in these negotiations.

Dear President Zelenskyy, I hope you realize that I, and tens of millions of Americans, stand with you and the Ukrainian people—and firmly against Donald Trump, JD Vance, and the Republican Party. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-preside...

NEWS: Democrat Mary Robichaux has defeated Republican incumbent Kurt Wilson in a runoff election to become the next Mayor of Roswell, Georgia. A major upset and another sign of shifting suburban politics in the South.

Fox’s Greg Gutfeld on double tap boat strike: “It's just better for us to kill them in the ocean, make them shark feed, be done with it”

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

Absolute blood-gargling psychopath. She's talking about drug runners at worst, more likely fishermen. I was in Pakistan eight weeks after 9/11, then combat with al Qaeda fighters in Afghanistan in early 2002. Never heard anyone around me say anything similar with this level of maniacal earnestness.

There are 75,977 people born in Somalia who are now citizens of the United States, including those specific people. He is talking about US citizens. He is talking about *us*. The truth is that none of us are garbage, and the job of the US president is to represent all of us. We, the people.

Wait so Noem is now admitting it's not fentanyl? They're just pretending that they didn't make a bunch of previous statements trying to link these boats to fentanyl? /and yes, the claim of saving hundreds of millions of lives by blowing up some cocaine is obviously laughable.

A message for the members of the U.S. military: thank you for your service. Those of us who served know that part of the code of conduct is to not lie and accept responsibility. Unfortunately, Secretary Hegseth engaged in dishonorable conduct. Shame on Hegseth. He must resign.

During the shutdown, the Senate approved adding $32B to Trump's already record breaking $1 trillion Pentagon budget. The Senate still hasn't voted on extending ACA subsidies — which would cost $35B. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Because of Republican inaction, millions of Americans are going to see their health insurance skyrocket. Millions more will probably just go without healthcare. So what are Republicans doing about it? NOT A DAMN THING!

New to @ssrn.bsky.social: Bill Eskridge and I have posted The Unitary Executive and the Due Process State (Notre Dame L. Rev. Reflection, forthcoming). This essay explores what's at stake for administrative justice as the Supreme Court reconsiders Humphrey's Executor. Link below⬇️

📽️ VIDEO: Former U.S. Attorney @joycewhitevance.bsky.social warns our democracy may not survive Trump’s “revenge prosecutions” unless Americans act now. In our latest podcast episode, she joins Marc Elias to explain how these actions erode democratic institutions ⤵️

NEW: After the DOJ and DHS released contradictory statements about the motives of their unprecedented hunt for state voter data, top election officials gave the Trump administration until Dec. 1 to offer an explanation. Their response? Crickets.

Ilhan Omar rose from a single parent immigrant family where her dad drove a taxi to her current position. Trump is the kid of a racist wealthy slum landlord who headed multiple failed businesses. One of these people is the example of failed ambition and it's not her. What a racist piece of shit.

Kristi Noem has to lie to justify her extreme anti-immigrant agenda. She told reporters that “There’s no American citizens that have been arrested or detained.” A bold-faced lie.

🤣🤣🤣

"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives, and we know that's the case." This is a flat-out 100% lie from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and he knows it. Impeachment resolutions are privileged, they can force a vote at any time.

The one thing Donald Trump has always and will always be afraid of is the truth. And right now, he’s scared.

Also, a lesson to every DOJ lawyer & law enforcement official. A lesson to everyone.
