"Oh yeah, one more thing I forgot Mr President, before I go.. why are you on the flight logs for Epstein & files over 1,500 times? "

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

The end could be closer than we think. Looks as if he's finding it difficult to walk. Watch his feet.

Rest in peace, Tom Stoppard

I don’t believe there is any writer out there who wants to rely on AI. That’s not why people are drawn to writing. I do think the market incentives are such that (unless you are already highly paid), the temptation to use it is strong. How else do you produce enough content to survive?

Indeed, the infiltration of AI into newsletters ecosystem is already happening: willstorr.substack.com/p/scamming-s... observer.com/2024/11/repo...

Now bring this problem of AI generated content to *newsletters,* where there is no pitch process, no editing, no fact-checking. This is the only area where the low ROI of newsletters is a benefit: it might keep AI entrepreneurs out of the system. But if you’re generating niche content at scale…

According to Trump, if you went to a pharmacy, and your medication cost $100, now the pharmacy will give you the medication for free, and pay you additional $600.

Math is hard.

🧵A legal scholar finds the killing by special forces of survivors in the Navy attack on an alleged drug boat to be a war crime and murder. "the currently governing DOD Manual in Section 5.9 states clearly that persons “placed hors de combat may not be made the object of attack.” ...

Just in case you're wondering , this is considerably worse than what Trump did you get impeached the first time.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Happening now near Canal Street, federal agents had been staging inside a fed owned parking garage, now being confronted by a group of protesters. masked agents are looking on from above.

i want to underline how significant i think it is that people are starting to leak already. that’s a sign, imo, that people are shifting into ass-covering mode, hoping that if they’re among the first to blow the whistle, however belatedly, they’ll get more lenient treatment.

How much ya wanna bet we'll be seeing a spike in GoFundMe campaigns over the next couple of months, with people asking for donations to help cover their skyrocketing healthcare premium increases?

AP and Reuters are reporting on this correctly and this is the headline on the Reuters app.

New Yorkers BLOCK ICE from leaving their parking garage ahead of a flopped mass raid attempt on Canal Street

The NYT definitely made a choice not to add “without evidence” to this headline.

"By dangling multibillion-dollar rare-earth and energy deals, Moscow could reshape the economic map of Europe—while driving a wedge between America and its traditional allies" Read this excellent @wsj.com account of the business deals behind the "peace"negotiations www.wsj.com/world/russia...

The DC shooter is a man whose work *for the United States* drove him crazy from guilt. That work, conducted at the direction of *our* CIA, allegedly involved murdering civilians. So for Trump to now say that the DC shooting confirms that *Afghans* categorically have shitty values is.... beyond vile.

“In days after Alaska, a European intel agency distributed a hard-copy report in an envelope to some of the continent’s most senior national security officials, who were shocked by the contents: Inside were details of the commercial and economic plans the Trump admin had been pursuing with Russia.”

We are in a maze of twisty passages, all different.

What do affordable healthcare and sarcasm have in common? Most Americans don't get it.

A running theme of Trump II is cautious, level-headed, mainstream, career professional experts sounding existential alarms about how we aren't panicking nearly enough.

Home Depot wanted holiday cheer, got a whole-ass choir calling out their partnership with ICE instead…

this reminds me of a friend who thought he was middle class so he donated his car to a charity that helps poor people and a month later, he saw his car at his neighbor's house

Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really know, about time? Because I have my doubts. I suspect it's much later than we think.

Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

Ukrainian UAVs attacked the Afipsky oil refinery in the Krssnodar region, Russia once again. Locals reported several explosions coming from the oil facility.

If polls are correct, nearly two-thirds of the country feel Trump is not doing a very good job. How low does his approval rating have to go before he declares Martial Law and goes full-on authoritarian on the U.S.?

I smell a false flag here. This right after news that Republicans might lose the House before the midterms. Trump is going to use the shooting of the National Guardsmen to deport Democrats in Congress. Omar, Jayapal and Ansari. Mamdani too. Bookmark this post and keep an eye on the names below.

Why I keep talking about crimes against humanity < thread >

I mean, as fighting words as it gets here from a GOP official against the White House.

Is the reason they had to dig back to 2019 because Trump is golfing?

More cracks in the dam

ICE is using Uber stickers in order to disguise themselves and kidnap people. Spread this for awareness!

Hegseth wasn't chosen as merely a Fox News buffoon who then bumbles his way into war crimes out of machismo incompetence. He was chosen specifically because he is, and has been for a long time, a proud, open, and explicit advocate of war crimes as a good thing we should do.

By the way who is following these orders. More cowards and breaking their oath. History has not been kind to "just following orders"
