wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

Biden: So, folks, that's my message to all of us today, to all who love our country, to all of us are dismayed by the present state of the union: it's time to get up, get up and fight back. Get up. Continue to fight. What's the fight all about? Protecting the constitution.

The most interesting part of this story isn’t that the pipe bomber is MAGA. That was blatantly obvious. What should interest folks is that the FBI and DoJ hid that fact from you, and still haven’t made a statement. This info is coming from sources on the condition of anonymity.

Trump's periods of wakefulness during this cabinet meeting are becoming less frequent

So, seems like we’re not all that serious about fighting the war on drugs after all. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

By contrast, Patel favors a tactical jacket that says "FBI." Sam Stein at The Bulwark reports that Patel allegedly wouldn't disembark the plane in the aftermath of the Kirk assassination without wearing an FBI raid jacket, which he borrowed from an agent.

Keep in mind: Trump put tariffs on Ukraine and exempted Russia

Carney: We know that this decades-long process of our ever-closer economic relationship between Canada and the US has ended. And as a consequence of that, many of our strengths have become our vulnerabilities, particularly in those industries that are most tightly integrated with the US….

Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

Breaking News: The last pending criminal prosecution against President Trump was dismissed by a judge in Georgia, effectively ending efforts to hold Trump criminally responsible for attempts to overturn the 2020 election. trib.al/EnJu57H

wild that this happened within 24 hours of bolsanaro going to prison. will be a timeless textbook example of what works to save a democracy and what doesn’t

OF COURSE the leaked transcript was an attempt to disrupt damaging US-Russian peace talks, which are extremely dangerous for Europe and Ukraine www.nbcnews.com/world/russia...

Trump envoy Steve Witkoff has been outed as a Russian asset. This is traitorous stuff.

Sigh Listen. Vote for democrats.

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan. And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.

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

JD Vance and Peter Thiel are running a sustained operation out of the White House designed to acquire Greenland, either voluntarily or by force. Thiel has laid out plans for what he intends to do with the island nation in past writings. It doesn't entail the consent of the Greenlanders for anything.

🚨🚨"It is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else." Excellent piece by @anneapplebaum.bsky.social:

Take pride in our fellow American, Sen. Mark Kelly, vigorously standing up for the Constitution and against a violence-inciting White House occupant who is failing to intimidate this good man and honorable public servant.

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV host Vladimir Solovyov and his guests discussed the 28-point "peace plan," threatened Europe, and emphasized that Ukraine's statehood will always be a threat to Russia. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ9T...

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

I do appreciate that they've completely dropped the pretense.

Quiet part, meet out loud.

Are those "MANY GREAT LEGAL SCHOLARS" in the room with you right now, Piggy?

Peace plan? Or Russian wish list?

Whoops! 😂

This is my kind of good trouble.

Not only are X users marinating in a disinformation bubble, but viewing the posts of bots on X actively contributes American funds to overseas bot farms because of its financial reward system.

Donald Trump is often cast as a “lame duck” president, but nothing about his second term resembles a presidency that is winding down. Why viewing Trump through a traditional political lens minimizes the stakes. #Velshi

The Polish prime minister reacts

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
