I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Democrats do not have an identity crisis. We have a leadership crisis! We know exactly who we are, what our values are and what we want from our Democratic officials. The “crisis” is the lack of Democratic leadership. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/democrats-...

NEW: Trump’s executive order on elections gives Elon Musk access to state voter rolls. Millions could be purged. Military ballots could be tossed. This is authoritarianism in action. I broke it down for @zeteo.com. ⬇️

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.

LOL

Individuals are being disappeared by the Trump administration. A Maryland man who was legally residing in the United States was deported to El Salvador and subsequently imprisoned due to what officials described as an “administrative error.” In a court filing, the Trump administration argued that

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful: - Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored - Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored - Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

I just spit out my tea.

That has to be what N. had to promise Ben-Gvir and his ilk in the cabinet.

The incompetence is the point. This time he won't risk having toadies who know what they're doing, like Bill Barr, saying shit like "Mr. President, you can't do that." open.substack.com/pub/jefftied...

Yesterday was wind, reason, and hail. A tornado even touched down nearby. Today it's nothing but blue skies. Perfect for golf!

Israel seems to be committed to ensuring that whatever government emerges in Syria will consider Israel an enemy.

I don’t take credit for this meme, but I do co-sign.

A doctor’s letter to United Healthcare for denying nausea meds for a child on chemo

BREAKING: Renowned former federal prosecutor Harry Litman announces he has resigned from his role as a contributor for the LA Times. "I don’t want to continue to work for a paper that is appeasing Trump and facilitating his assault on democratic rule for craven reasons."

Hard to overstate how despised our healthcare system is

But will they pay for body armor for their executives?

in light of Ron DeSantis maybe being the next SecDef nominee, here's a thing I wrote about him a year and a half ago www.jefftiedrich.com/p/ron-desant...

I looked up the webpage and confirmed it's not viral marketing for a dystopian streaming series. It is grimly funny how public advertising now looks like what you'd see if you wore the glasses in They Live.

This is especially delicious in light of rumors that Trump is considering replacing Hegseth with DeSantis for SecDef.

Well, if you've fantasized about doing this, someone beat you to it.

This is really vile.

Former federal prosecutor Harry Litman: "But in fact, President Biden’s pardon was justified and falls within the heartland of executive clemency cases. A clear-eyed analysis of the facts, the law, and, crucially, DOJ standard practice in Hunter Biden’s case establishes this."

"I had to take a peek at our competition today. I turned on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox. It was 24/7 bashing of President Biden for pardoning his son Hunter. It was pathetic," writes @meiselasb.bsky.social.

I am watching with grave concern over the actions of the South Korean president to declare martial law, all because the opposition has blocked his agenda and impeached his cabinet. Democracy is under assault across much of the world. We must be on highest guard here as well as Trump takes office.

It shouldn’t be ignored that Kash Patel chose to plead the Fifth in response to a grand jury subpoena over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents. He only testified, involuntarily, after being granted immunity. Think about that. Trump’s FBI nominee pled the Fifth in response to a DOJ subpoena.

Well that's interesting...

If all you know about Sec. of Homeland Security nominee Kristi Noem is how proud she is of shooting a puppy for being too exuberant, this review of her CV is informative and terrifying. open.substack.com/pub/borowitz...

The NY Times obtained this diagram from the federal sex trafficking investigation of Matt Gaetz showing he made thousands of dollars in payments to women who told investigators they had sex with him for money. This is the redacted version. More here: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/20/u...

UHG just a gang of thieving thugs

Billionaire grifters are about to dismantle your government. So instead of your tax dollars going to your Medicare or your Medicaid or your affordable care act or to veterans benefits or your social security - it will go to THEM in the form of tax cuts for the wealthy.

I'm inordinately proud of the fact that I won my golf club's Most Improved Player award for the year. My handicap went from 31.3 to 25.1!

Note to IDF spokespersons: "We are not aware of that incident" is not the exculpatory statement you think it is. On the contrary, it says your forces are out of control. search.app?link=https%3...

Trump's tariffs in 2018 and 2019 resulted in $80 billion worth of new taxes that Americans paid for. The next round of tariffs that Trump plans to propose are even bigger — meaning people will be paying even more for goods.
