What happens when you pick an American Pope: he builds an entire international trip around a Thanksgiving Turkey pun

If you're familiar with the asylum process, then you know that a grant of asylum within ninety days only happens when a certain alphabet soup government agency goes to bat for the applicant and insists that the process be expedited. That's plainly what happened here. The assailant is a company man.

Pope Leo XIV embarked on his first international trip as pontiff on Thursday, traveling to Turkey to start a six-day tour that will also include Lebanon. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/w...

The idea that people will accept this bullshit in perpetuity is beyond delusional.

Trump - Witkoff - Putin >> This is not hard to understand: Witkoff, on behalf of President Trump, is advancing Putin's aims which has always been to seize Ukraine or Ukrainian territory. The leak is from an intelligence source and reported by Bloomberg. It reveals Trump as pro-Russia.

Committing to grave war crimes is the most popular thing an Israeli politician can do. Depravity demonstrated.

A clear sign to Putin would be for our European leaders to kick Orban's Hungary out of the EU. We did absolutely nothing against this little mafioso, which pushes Putin to think we will fold first.

Also for thanksgiving: Certain government actors again perpetuate the myth of the thin blue line — aka that American society is always near collapse into chaos and brutality keeps order — so please revisit my take on what the line between order & chaos really is www.greatpower.us/p/thin-blue-...

He is Risen❄️ Happy Thanksgiving🦃🍁

You know… there’s a sure-fire way to put Epstein conspiracy theories to rest… #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

“Soldiers, have any of you ever really looked at a couch? I mean like really looked at the folds and the nooks and little comfortable spaces?”

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

Oh wow, are you guys also at my brother's house right now?

Lincoln-esque … 🙄

Setup account as fake NAFO. Have changed everything to pro-russia. Some fellas are following them. Block below account.

This is like demanding that someone jump out of a plane before they’re given a parachute. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

NEW: The two shot National Guard troops never should have been in DC. More troops is no answer. The violence is horrible and unacceptable. Trump, Pete Hegseth, and West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey never should have put the troops in this position. Tonight, at Law Dork:

Doing your best to literally destroy life-sustaining ecosystems while also sanctioning the torture of people is hard on the spirit, wow who knew

"We can take it for granted that Trump and his advisors would greet a terrorist attack as an obvious chance to blame their chosen enemies, advance their project of authoritarian regime change, and distract from their own perilous follies. (1/2)

They’re perfect for each other (derogatory)

I was trying to remember a particularly egregious Trump ambassador pick and I started scrolling through all of them and yikes. It really hits you how nuts this administration and its era is.

As I was saying….

This is fantastically done, laying it out like this.

Two people were shot at a gas station in my rural town in Mississippi today. I guess 500 troops are gonna have to be taken away from their families during the holidays to come occupy my small town now too, huh?

I've led negotiations with Russia, and nothing I'm hearing shows the Russians are serious about ending the war. But the U.S. side must articulate our positions and advance our interests - and that's not happening. Peace at any price isn't peace. It's appeasement. More on @npr.org:

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

everyone knows the number one quality of rigorous, responsible journalism is waiting months and months to reveal urgently newsworthy information until it can cause the most harm in your personal vendettas

Don’t forget the WHO is still a resource available www.who.int/health-topics

One deeply underappreciated aspect of MAHA is how much it's often a fig leaf for domestic abuse. I'm not surprised doctors on the ground belive men are withholding kids' vaccines as a way to control and terrorize their wives. They obviously are! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/o...

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

It is the ugliest, most naked form of the old "save the *really* juicy stuff for the book" political journalist grift, and by its sheer tackiness reveals how slimy that broader grift is

The reason that we reporters are focused so intensely on the L'affair Nuzzi is that, as Olivia notes, it is a basically apocalyptic scandal in the most literal sense of that term: a dropping of masks. It's acting as confirmation of every hideous story anybody's ever told about political journalists

A year after @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom’s Salmon Strategy removed four dams on the Klamath River — “salmon have been observed spawning in the Klamath River, including tributaries upstream of Klamath Lake where they have not been seen in more than 100 years.”

This is nuts! Why is WAPO writing up anyone’s speculation about who the suspect might be? I get that Laura’s statements and actions are at times newsworthy given her influence on Trump, but no one’s speculation — outside of a government official’s — should be written up this way.

Steve Witkoff is facing intense backlash after telling a senior Putin aide he knew how to “get a peace deal done” with land concessions. Lawmakers in both parties say he can’t be trusted. Trump is standing by him.

”The thing is this wasn’t really a catch-and-kill operation as described—I don’t even think there’s a term for what this was,” I say as I pour gravy on my fourth slice of pumpkin pie. My wife has filed for divorce and one of my cats is packing her belongings in a suitcase, but I persist.

I was right

While there are often some ethical issues with making free PDFs of paywalled content, in this case it seems entirely justifiable, given the author, the subject, and the journalistic imperative to provide the widest possible audience for the verb "Michael Wolffed" gofile.io/d/Ap4v35

Okay so what I’m reading here, if this account is to be believed, is that Lizza and Nuzzi are complicit in withholding major dark political actions that have had insane implications for like, everybody. Journalistic malpractice doesn’t even begin to cover it

How many Americans will die or suffer because RFK Jr. has killed mRNA research and has used the federal government to wage his war on vaccines?

There's a deadly building on fire in Hong Kong and the culprit seems to be the fact that the building was wrapped in bamboo and nylon scaffolding which let the fire run up the outside of the building. But residents were, allegedly, given the traditional stay inside rules for skyscrapers.

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

#Felonomics as opposed to reaganomics, that is a good word. It helps to gain an understanding of how damaging Trump is for the US. Endangering with the Ukraïne plan the $ 5 trillion of investments made by US companies in Europe since 1945.

PLURIBUS pod up today. (Prestige TV feed.) STRANGER THINGS pod up…later today. Tonight actually. (House of R feed.) Happy holidays!

🚨 NEW/EXCLUSIVE: The FBI turned over dozens of emails to me in response to my #FOIA request that provides a behind-the-scenes look at discussions involving the review and redaction of the Epstein files www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
