From @theathletic.com: FIFA president Gianni Infantino has been accused of a “clear violation” of the governing body’s statutes on neutrality after appearing to endorse President Trump’s political agenda.

By popular demand (read: maybe three people asked me) — some thoughts on Kathryn Bigelow's new film, "A House of Dynamite." TOTAL SPOILER ZONE, you have been warned! doomsdaymachines.net/p/bolt-out-o...

Remember when Harris said she would go after price gouging companies and everyone yelled about communism? Fun times.

Thanks @defenseone.bsky.social for having me on to discuss #HouseoFDynamite, Missile Defense and the state of nuclear risk under Donald Trump. Extra points for discussing nuclear movies like War Games and AI. www.defenseone.com/threats/2025... @scientistsorg.bsky.social @thebulletin.org

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona. Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

An administration that can find the funds to tear down the East Wing, but not to feed hungry Americans does not deserve to be in office.

America is the richest country on earth. The wealthiest people in America backed Trump and GOP control of House and Senate. And they cannot govern. They won't feed vulnerable Americans. They can't keep planes flying. They cannot keep our food safe. They are killing science and health care.

President Trump has pardoned Glen Casad, the former Tennessee House speaker, and his former top aide in the state legislature just weeks after they were sentenced to prison on public corruption charges.

Nope

Name another time a board has taken an action that will lead to the further detriment of both brand and sales over the near term. Musk is toxic for the brand and hard to see how a major audience for E Cars - progressives concerned about the environment ever support it.

Breaking news: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to release full funding for SNAP benefits by Friday. The ruling comes after the partial funding disbursed had yet to reach those who qualify for the benefits.

The most corrupt President and the most corrupt sporting organization. A match made somewhere other than heaven.

Perfect metaphor for RFK at HHS.

If Subway does not name a sandwich after Subway guy and donate $1 per sandwich to legal efforts to control ICE, their CSR team and PR teams should be fired.

Nancy Pelosi deserves the thanks of the entire nation and our admiration as a tireless public servant. Those that hated and vilified her were jealous and upset out how effective she was.

At first they came for the communists, but I was not a communist so said nothing. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

Our team is honored to have received a $500k grant to analyze the capabilities of emerging and disruptive technologies to track and trail mobile nuclear launch platforms, with our friends at @carnegiecorp.bsky.social and @basicint.bsky.social Learn more ⤵️ fas.org/publication/...

US tests. Russia tests. China tests. North Korea tests. We all test. This is what an arms race looks like.

The beauty before the biting cold!

Given all the nuclear developments in the recent news it is worth rereading the piece our team wrote in The Washington Post this summer. Before the Post opinion section changed. @scientistsorg.bsky.social @nukestrat.bsky.social @mattkorda.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/int...

GOP have done a great job of labeling progressive taxes where rich pay more and hyper rich a lot more, a social safety net, and regulation of big business as socialism. I was raised on those as key pillars of American society.

Thanks @howardaltman.bsky.social and TWZ for including my thoughts and those of @nukestrat.bsky.social on Russia’s plan to consider nuclear tests if US pursues Trump’s instinct to break a 30+ year moratorium on nuclear explosive tests. @scientistsorg.bsky.social www.twz.com/nuclear/how-...

NEW: “To read it is to spend 48 pages understanding the depth of corruption in the Justice Department in the second Trump administration.” @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org and I break down DOJ’s response to James Comey’s vindictive prosecution motion. ⬇️ www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

This man is in charge of US nuclear weapons. Can launch them anytime.

Great work GOP.

Sean Duffy and DOT run the FAA and not well.

How can lessons from the past help us create a more secure nuclear future? Sarah Bidgood, a 2024-26 IGCC postdoctoral fellow, speaks with us about what her archival work on historic nuclear crises can tell us about the potential for nuclear-armed conflict today: bit.ly/4pfg6VJ

Nothing is ever his fault He wants total control with zero accountability. This loss is on him and his party and the victory to dems and their good candidates and good campaigns.

This is open bigotry targeting New York’s first Muslim mayor, who won with the support of thousands of Jewish voters. The ADL has no such initiative regarding the Trump Administration, which employs extremists with ties to antisemitism. It even took down its “Glossary of Extremism” to appease them.

More from AOC: Voters understand the assignment - fight fascism together despite our policy differences.

Trump wants to make everything about him. Tonight he is right. No way to ignore Trump the big loser tonight.

AOC nails it. Cuomo and Trump both sexual predators. Birds of a feather. Release the Epstein files.

GOP want to focus on NY local race Dems right to focus on NJ and VA Gov races.

Sexual predators and vigilantes unpopular in NY politics. Go figure.

reassuring that at least in some places in the U.S., a serial sexual harasser can run a blatantly bigoted campaign and get his ass handed to him

None of what Trump is doing is popular and voters are telling us that

Is there any race going MAGA’s way? Trump and MAGA appear to be a losing concern. GOP take note.

White Men were freaking out two weeks ago over Sherrill and Spanberger. #NatSecMoms

Good serious candidate ran a professional campaign focused on jobs, reproductive choice, respect for the rule of law and affordability. National model for Dems. Not hard. Do it.

Abigail Spanberger, a former congresswoman and CIA agent, will be the first woman to serve as governor of Virginia, following a streak of 74 men. Spanberger's campaign was laser-focused on attacking President Trump's policies. nyti.ms/498lHIB

Rare MAGA on MAGA violence over Congressional control of defense policy www.defenseone.com/policy/2025/...

Because nothing says "successful governor" more than working tirelessly to elect a man who put 10s of thousands of your constituents out of work. Youngkin failed Virginia. The fact that he has money should not allow him to continue a failed political career. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/u...

It’s not news to anyone that this Administration doesn’t seem to understand our laws. But let me be clear: this IS the law – Trump himself signed it in 2019, after Sen. Cardin and I fought to pass it. ALL federal employees are required to be paid after the shutdown.

Where is Federal Food Safety? Wanna bet inspectors were cut via DOGE?

Our President decided that it was time to resume nuclear testing after an over 30 year hiatus. But why now? @joecirin.bsky.social and @jonatomic.bsky.social join @djrothkopf.bsky.social to try and make sense of this bizarre new policy. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... youtu.be/ON0b3nU_CBI

Which is why I dare GOP to do it.

Excellent overview and interview with @nukestrat.bsky.social, @jonatomic.bsky.social, and Daryl Kimbal. Quick but informative read, no fluff.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.
