FT: “.. More than 200,000 European banking jobs are under threat over the next five years as lenders increasingly embrace artificial intelligence ..” @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/71e1...

Not sure I understand why the Trump administration cares about Christians in Nigeria and not Christians in Ukraine

Turning Point USA was founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk and Bill Montgomery Two of their major policy pushes were a more prominent gun culture and zero COVID restrictions Bill Montgomery died to the COVID virus Charlie Kirk died to gun violence

Absolutely delightful evening with these wonderful people. Thank you to everyone who came. ❤️

I am so excited for this event and I hope you can join us. The stories are fantastic and I am so honored to celebrate this amazing writer. @bcdreyer.social and Annabeth Gish and my beloved Writers Bloc in one place. What joy!

I am so excited for this!

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!! No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

Listen to the very wise @bcdreyer.social and come on out and see us! Writers Bloc, Monday, December 15th at the Ebell of LA on Wilshire.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

We're doing pogroms in America now

"Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement. ... The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself"

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

This was intentional…

It would have been a wat crime if we were at war, if not, its just murder. As congress gets ready to hear closed door testimony later this week, here’s what you need to know. joycevance.substack.com/p/bulletproo...

Trump was born on third base and managed to steal second.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there. Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

NYT: Is the President tired? Ms. Leavitt: Would a weary President be able to deliver a racist rant like that one?

There have been at least 19 murders in D.C. since Trump deployed the National Guard here in August. One was the murder of a Guard soldier less than a week ago.

Anyone who was born an American and therefore feels superior to someone who had to work to become an American doesn’t know the first thing about being an American.

republicans who think you have a safe seat: no you don’t

Donald Trump spent last night having some bizarre social media fever dream. It’s long past time for the president's mental fitness to be a sustained front-page story. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...

Ironically, it says that they understand what it means to be a journalist. Thanks for asking, though.

Lead Post reporter on that story Alex Horton served in the infantry in Iraq.

As the mom of a five-year-old reading this and imagining what this family is going through made me physically ill. Unimaginable evil is being perpetrated before our eyes and with our tax dollars.

A former DEA agent called the release “devastating”: “It means any attempt to work your investigations to the highest levels is meaningless.”

It's wild but not surprising that last week the White House was leaning into "these seditious Democrats dared suggest that troops were receiving illegal orders!!!" and this week they are scrambling to figure out who to blame for issuing illegal orders.

The Ugliest American.

Trump unleashes xenophobic tirade against Somalis, branding them "garbage" in an outburst that was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry even for a president known for his history of insulting Black people, write Zolan Kanno-Youngs and @shawnmccreesh.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

So am I.

Caption this.

he's fighting for his life in this meeting

"They... they... they..." That's the sound of the bus being driven over Admiral Bradley.

Trump is about to hit REM

Donald Trump is crumbling before us. Pete Hegseth is under fire for war crimes, with congressional inquiries looming. Kash Patel is getting publicly humiliated by his own FBI agents. RFK Jr.'s freak flag is getting national attention thanks to the Lizza-Nuzzi insanity. The wheels are coming off.

Remember, too, that Hegseth would have been rejected if a single additional Republican senator — or, JD Vance — had joined Sen. Collins, McConnell, and Murkowski in voting no with the Democrats. See: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

Spend a wonderful night hearing the words of the inimitable Shirley Jackson with Writers Bloc, @bcdreyer.social, Annabeth Gish and me! At the Ebell of LA on Monday, December 15th!

4/ Some thought it might have moved on the wind, not just because of biosecurity failures. To try and understand this better, I built out a list of 200+ chicken and turkey farms in the 12-mile radius that USDA establishes around an outbreak to look for where else the virus may have spread.

3/ I was able to trace the outbreak using genomic data sampled from the farms with infected poultry. This data told another story: hens in one egg farm got infected, and then the contagion spread from there, lighting up one of the most poultry-dense areas of the country within weeks.

2/ The U.S. Department of Agriculture typically attributes bird flu outbreaks to cases where farmers have not done enough to protect flocks from contamination by wild birds. But that's not what happened here. www.propublica.org/article/bird...

1/ Today, ProPublica is running a piece I've been working on for a bit. It's about what happened with a devastating wave of bird flu earlier this year, as egg prices hit record highs. And it's a story that illuminates the ways the U.S. is failing to control what could become the next pandemic. 🧵

Trump just going through Putin's checklist: - weaken COP, G20, other intl. institutions of US-led global order - abandon Ukraine and eventually NATO - tariffs break down US global econ power, trash alliances - vaporize our soft power - USAID, etc - disable cyber protections - promote anti-vax

Listen to @bcdreyer.social This is going to be wonderful. December 15th at the Ebell!

I will confess, I have never seen a situation before where the grand jury never saw the indictment, so the remedy is unknown, but I can’t believe an unseen indictment could be valid. Times www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/u...
