Trump tries to insult Biden but makes nonsensical reference to supposed gaffe by former president www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

gosh I wonder why they called her peril www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

OMG this kicker in the Harvard Crimson article!! College journalism kicks ass, again

oh he was gonna lose damn near the whole caucus, huh

just say it, reporters, it's not hard: '...the trump administration's open threats to use military force against a state that has not attacked it are widely seen by experts as illegal under international law...' there is very little to debate about that.

Also, in the course of other atrocities in Yemen, his forces bombed a *school bus full of kids* with a U.S. PGM.

new from me this morning www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Open bribery by a foreign leader. The exact scenario that the Founders feared. "no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State"

PBS NEWS WEEKEND has been cancelled and 34 jobs will be cut at WETA in Washington D.C. The NEWS HOUR West Coast bureau will also close and the updated daily West Coast broadcast will end. “We cannot fully compensate for the scope of the federal funding loss.” current.org/2025/11/weta... #PBS

The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

So, as you know, we had a big cheat sheet to the elections on Bolts: nearly 200 key contests that we were tracking, & why. The page is now updated with the results of ALL the races that were on it — from judges to mayors to school boards. You can explore! boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

Many of his comments this year suggests he consumes a ton of popularist content and very little pointing out the many flaws in that thinking. I assume his peer group is the audience that consumes popularist content, so he would need real intentionality to get other perspectives.

Before anyone gets too carried away here.

Guy 1: Are you going to launch a war that destabilizes an entire region and harms millions of people for no discernible reason Guy 2: Idk I sort of have an idea I’m just kind of winging it if I’m being honest

Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

Enrique Tarrio is otg in Portland tonight

Incredibly smart PR tactic from ICE to continue assaulting very handsome priests

Love 2 go to the doctor and not know what body part they’re analyzing

Trump so far has attacked Rep. Thomas Massie R-KY and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene R-GA. What do they have in common? Both want to release the Epstein Files.

Pink Floyd’s former front man Roger Waters called out a number of celebrities who are embracing Ukraine’s cause and siding with the “Kyiv regime,” saying they are “absolutely ignorant” of the history of Ukraine-Russian relations. www.kyivpost.com/post/64191

Second-class Citizens Seek to Flee Declining Legal Status

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

It's easy to get inured to the crazy, but this is Trump referring to the main exterior window of the East Room, a part of the White House that has been there since 1800, as "a knock-out panel," a construction term for a temporary part of a wall designed to be easily demolished to allow for expansion

Trump refers to part of White House residence as 'a knock-out panel' to be demolished for his ballroom www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

It took me five minutes on Google to discover that the Pentagon already has an Operation Southern Spear, which started in January, but maybe no one told the defense secretary www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

The SNAP fight at the Supreme Court is officially over. Trump's Department of Justice acknowledges that SNAP is now fully funded through the end of the fiscal year and thus withdraws its request for an additional stay. The end of the shutdown mooted the case before SCOTUS could touch the merits.

Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

Katie Wilson looks poised to become Seattle’s next mayor. Wilson, 43, would be Seattle’s first Millennial mayor. She ran on a populist platform, decrying the city’s high cost of living and criticizing Harrell’s progress on addressing homelessness.

We went a couple of weeks where the government was de facto, but totally unconstitutionally, run by a triumvirate of the VP, speaker of the House, and chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and we all just shrugged and muddled through and then pretended it hadn't happened.

I can't remember the precise wording but someone on here said that the Republican threat to expose Bill Clinton too isn't so much a threat as it is a "buy one, get one free" promotion.

Jeffrey Epstein in 2015: "Have them ask my houseman about donald almost walking through the door leaving his nose print on the glass as young women were swimming in the pool and he was so focused he walked straight into the door."

i have said this before but i think that the people who were “charmed” by epstein wanted to be charmed

This sounds reasonable but is 100% wrong. Whether you or agree or disagree with a study is completely immaterial. What matters is whether the study was conducted properly and generates valid results. And it's impolitic to say but it's true: you have to have some level of expertise to judge that.

the decision to really just abandon moderation and let it rip suggests that this is what meta wants for its platform. this is the final, idealized form of the product

Lest there be any insinuation that Dems spared their own. It would be tough for Kathy Ruemmler—Obama’s WH Counsel from 2011 to mid-2014—to come off looking worse in these docs the committee Dems released. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Yeah whoever jacked up tariffs on coffee from Brazil earlier this year must be a real bonehead

Below are two videos showing the White House vs Waldorf Astoria renovations. Can someone knowledgable about the relevant trades breakdown what it took to do each one? What was the process? How much human skill and craftsmanship were involved?

He seriously hates Americans.

ok one last post -- oldheads are always going to "why is the web dying.... how can we get the kids invested in the free and open web" bro the kids can't read. that's why the web is dying. first things first

my patience has increased but I will say, it is ok to have trouble reading, it is not ok to scream at people for things you imagined they said because you can't read what they actually said

how did i go so long not knowing we were literally teaching people to read wrong. i knew something wasn't right but jesus christ www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Trump is *still* fighting in court to stop SNAP…try this! 👇

Still thinking about this story. Imagine how cooked your brain has to be on Fox News -- how terrified you have to be, every day in your isolated suburban castle -- to start *shooting* when you see brown people at your door, before the door is even open. We're such a nation of terrified cowards.

What a thrill to be part of @talkingpointsmemo.com's series about the past 25 years of digital media! I wrote about why private equity goons destroyed Deadspin and why it matters.

In the past, content from Christopher Blair, the "satire" story creator, has been spread as real by others, such as Macedonian hoax sites. Now that includes the president of the United States.
