As George Will writes tonight: “a moral slum of an administration.”

“.. A Washington Post analysis of multiple video feeds of the meeting Tuesday showed that during nine separate instances, Trump’s eyes were closed for extended periods or he appeared to struggle to keep them open, amounting cumulatively to nearly six minutes.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

“.. Wong’s plight — arms raised in anguish and weeping as he stands against the backdrop of what became Hong Kong’s deadliest fire since 1948 — was captured in a Reuters photograph that went viral .. “.. Wong’s wife is still unaccounted for ..” @reuters.com www.reuters.com/investigates...

“.. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey pushed back against Trump’s depiction of Somalis, saying it ‘violates the moral fabric of what we stand by in this country as Americans.’” @apnews.com apnews.com/article/minn...

WAPO EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. This suit confirms that American businesses pay American tariffs. .. And Costco’s suit is one of many that will be filed as the .. businesses robbed by the president seek their just recompense.” @postopinions.bsky.social $COST www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Putin and Witkoff. Brothers reunited again.

FEDWATCH: “.. expectations are that rate hikes may resume by mid-2027. Markets will trade on the potential boom, and if pro-growth policies work, nominal GDP will expand, pushing up Treasury yields, as it did at the end of the 1990s. And Hassett will not be able to do much about it.”

She added about 20 million views to this after some dipshit WH spokesperson decided the best plan was to personally attack and insult her. And counting.

NYT: “.. Even for Mr. Trump — who has a long history of insulting Black people, particularly those from African countries — his outburst was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

(FT) - Anthropic has tapped law firm Wilson Sonsini to begin work on one of the largest initial public offerings ever, which could come as soon as 2026, as the artificial intelligence start-up races OpenAI to the public market. @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/3254...

The reason why he needs to travel the world with his girlfriend on a free government jet with security details is because “he’s entitled to a personal life.” bsky.app/profile/atru...

A Canadian publisher has called out the United States for using the image of a children's book character to brag about murdering unarmed people in international waters. This is a decrepit gangster state. This is the world of Donald Trump. This is demonic.

Witkoff and Kushner promised their Daddy Vladdy that they wouldn’t visit Ukraine after their trip to Moscow.

Watching that Cabinet meeting Trump dozed off constantly when other people were talking, but every time his name got mentioned he would wake up. Nothing else they said interested him in the slightest, but every time he heard his name he regained consciousness for a second.

The FBI Director for the United States of America, everyone. This is where we are at. bsky.app/profile/atru...

He was sleeping when she said this.

Her remarks seemed to be very important to Trump. Really made an impact. bsky.app/profile/atru...

It’s just wild to watch Trump fall asleep constantly in meetings, then he wakes up and calls Joe Biden “sleepy.”

What a coincidence that, in addition to their passion for American politics, they also happen to be monetized.

When Presidents were normal decent folk and served the people not themselves!

He is psychotic... 👇 youtube.com/post/UgkxQ-S...

Trump: Pete said it didn’t happen. He said he has nothing to do with that. I wouldn’t agree with that. Leavitt: It happened. It was ordered by Admiral Bradley. But it was justified. Hegseth: We stand by Bradley & the decision he made entirely on his own without our knowledge.

Wow, Bongo attacks NY Post reporter Miranda Divine for her story about Kash. Kash and Bongo are being thrown under the bus by people close to Trump. Maybe they are just too dense to read the writing on the wall. People in Trump World are done with them. Days are numbered.

Vote these spineless cowards out of their majorities so we can actually have some oversight on this serial criminality.

Hegseth: The buck stops with Admiral Bradley. Jennifer and I will pray for him during this difficult time. We have his back. Until we don’t.

Brit will blame Biden for it tomorrow.

If blowing up survivors in the water was the right thing to do because they are “narco-terrorists” (trust us, bro) and deserve no quarter, why did we rescue two other survivors in a different strike, fly them home, and let them go free?

Pete Hegseth on Sept 3 talking about the strike on boats where 2 survivors were later killed in a second strike: “I watched it live.”

Trump admin drug interdiction policy: Some we murder. Some we let go home. Some we pardon.

Why did the Pentagon only release video on the first strike?

Hegseth announced his new rules restricting reporters’ access to the Pentagon two weeks after the double strike.

These boat strikes will be nothing compared to the war crimes they will commit after they initiate regime change to seize Venezuelan oil companies.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
