No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.

No one understood this horrible holiday better than Chandler Bing on 'Friends.'

this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

this — considering that Florida is a two-party consent state — might even be a crime. i’m floored

i’m so angry that we’re apparently going to be getting even what... three more of these? i can’t take this. it’s sickening bsky.app/profile/oliv...

If one person starts yelling, it’s easy from there. Don’t be afraid to be the first person to start yelling at a Nazi

“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.” “‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

ICE arrested the mother of Leavitt’s nephew, and the comment from her brother makes it hard not to wonder if the woman was intentionally targeted.

This article heavily implies that ICE is being used in a custody dispute to help Karoline Leavitt's brother get his son and have the mother locked up in ICE detention

NEW: Formal resolution introduced in US House by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) "Expressing the opposition of the House of Representatives to any grant of commutation, clemency, or pardon to federally convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell"

Was there any reason to decertify the nursing profession besides misogyny?

Hopefully she will sue ‘The Blaze’ and every other person who posted and pushed this bs. Also, a unit under Tulsi Gabbard wrote the memo which falsely identified her as the J6 pipe bomber. www.cbsnews.com/news/jan-6-p...

This should be a major scandal. The Blaze falsely reported that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer was the Jan. 6th pipe bomber. But it wasn’t just another miss by conservative media promoting conspiracies. Someone in US intel - at ODNI - was promoting it: www.cbsnews.com/news/jan-6-p...

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.

So, a senior Justice Department official — along with several members of Congress — used the authority of their offices to boost an obviously dubious conspiracy theory accusing a federal employee of a horrific crime. And now it’s clear the allegation was baseless. www.cbsnews.com/news/jan-6-p...

A private call between Trump-appointed envoy Steve Witkoff and Putin advisor Yuri Ushakov was just leaked — and it shows the American envoy effectively acting as a strategist for Moscow.

This isn’t exactly treason, but it’s edging close to the line.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes: 1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia. 2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea. 3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

ICE arrests, detains British woman with US husband and newborn when she shows up for her green card interview. She’s now in a detention center, separated from her 6-month-old. No criminal record. She had overstayed her visa. www.lbc.co.uk/article/brit...

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Billionaire Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, pardoned by Donald Trump, has been accused of facilitating millions of dollars’ worth of payments to Hamas in the wake of its attack on Israel on October 7 2023. Zhao also financed the Trump family's entrance into the cryptocurrency market.

Cannot overstate how, from my perch as a national-security reporter, this would have been an earth-shattering scandal in a prior era.

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is. There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”

Disarray is way too mild a word to describe what we are seeing in the DC GOP now…..

Trump and his Administration are targeting me because I said something they didn’t like — but here’s the thing: I won’t be intimidated into silence. I’ve overcome challenges a lot tougher than Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth.

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."

Wisdom from Charles Schulz.

there was a running gag on the Upright Citizens Brigade series where in the UCBverse everyone hated astronauts, an easy joke for an fill-in-the-blank moment because in the real world they're thought of as the coolest motherfuckers walking around anyway good luck babe picking a fight with Mark Kelly

Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call. I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.

Parents, if you have time to read anything today (and the capacity to feel rage), then these new allegations against two of the largest social media companies, and their apparent disregard of you and your kids’ relationships and mental health, should be it.

Let me sum it up for non-military folks: Senator Mark Kelly didn’t violate any military laws. None. Hegseth’s little bitch ass has been ordered by Trump to retaliate against Sen. Kelly for speaking out, and Hegseth does what Daddy tells him to do. That’s all this is.

Well, that's one of looking at an emerging social crisis...

He’s not going to pardon the turkey is he? Miller is going to strangle it and hand it to bannon who’ll bite off its little head

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world And by design LLMs destroy shared context

Bono on Donald Trump: “America is the best idea the world ever came up with. But Donald Trump is potentially the worst idea that ever happened to America. He’s trying to hijack the idea of America. Wise people of conscience should not let this man turn your country into a casino”

Does Rubio understand that we do know of his previous statements today?

I’ve had a few moments in life when something somebody said changed me I remember bitching about people on welfare and a friend said, “that’s nothing compared to what the rich are stealing” True then. True now

FM of Lithuania makes a very good point that I’ve been repeating for over a year: it’s not only about Ukraine, Putin is set to dismantle NATO.

It will never sit right with me the sheer amount of people who have chosen to live in an alternate reality where their lives are measurably worst, rather than admit that they were lied to by the GOP.

Find you somebody who looks at you like Donald Trump looks at Zohran Mamdani.

Reporter: Are you affirming that you think the president is a fascist? Mamdani: I've spoken about -- Trump: Just say yes, it's easier than explaining.

📃The United States is pressuring Ukraine to sign a peace agreement by Thursday, 28 November (US Thanksgiving) The 28-point draft was prepared by the U.S., without Ukraine or its European partners involved. What else should you watch next week? 👇🧵 #KIweekahead #Ukraine

Just as a reminder: Trump's doing Putin's bidding on Russia, his attacks on science at HHS and with regard to the environment, his corruption, his ICE army attacking US cities, his gutting of the DoJ and attacks on the rule of law and democracy are all much, much, much bigger scandals than Epstein.

"Bridges said the U.S. immediately began exploring other countries to send her to, which the attorney tried to fight in court with requests for hearings. “Those requests went unacknowledged,” Bridges said. Kuyateh’s civil rights have been violated, her attorney said."
