thehill.com/homenews/sen... Why do I think this 'deal' is somewhere close to "We give you clean funding in exchange for a vague promise of a future performative vote on reining in ICE that we already know won't pass."?

What's the over under on how many f*cks Canada gives about this threat? I'm going with zero. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

This is the midwest in a nutshell. Arbitrary ICE brutality would face something similar in most mid sized cities there, regardless of politics. People stick together & help one another. Anyone that has spent a winter there understands. Hitting them in December is like Napoleon invading Russia then.

To those out there saying "MAGA will go away when Trump is gone", I submit that they aren't going anywhere. They support Trump and want more of what he's doing. This isn't about getting rid of one man. MAGA will find a new figurehead and try to complete their takeover. We need to understand this.

This is why we have scandal after scandal in the finance world. Break the law? No problem. We'll slap you with financial penalties equal to pennies on the dollar of what you just stole. Until people go to jail or have to pay everything back 2x over, this will continue to be standard business.

Whatever you think of Ross' guilt, this gofundme is hugely problematic. He does NOT need legal help. He's a government employee & they'll take care of it. 100% of the money is going into his pocket. It's a BOUNTY for killing a protester, and it invites more murders. www.gofundme.com/f/ice-offuve...

emersoncollegepolling.com/tennessee-7t... This is a 2% race in a district that Trump just won by 22%. If turnout and over-performance trends continue, Behn might actually win.

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.” - Stephen Jay Gould, 1979

www.politico.com/news/2025/11... This article is infuriating. The democrats are not 'fighting a war' but responding to one started by MAGA. Yes, large majorities of democrats support partisan gerrymandering; not because we like it, but ONLY because the GOP is shameless and ruthless about doing so.

I thought watching Harris lose last year was as bad as things could get. I was wrong. This is worse. I'm not sure there's much point now, because it seems the fix was in. Gin up the base to win on Tuesday while planning to cave later. It was always what the *real* constituency of the party wanted.

As horrifying as Trump's senile rant at the UN was, we can all take comfort in the fact that Tucson AZ is absolutely going to elect Adelita Grijalva to congress today, and she will be the 218th name on the Epstein discharge petition.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... It's about time. Now require them to either have visible identification on their person or that they must provide it on request.

There's no excuse. None, for what happened to Charlie Kirk. It doesn't matter if you liked him or hated him. We need to fix this.

Whenever I see these stories I remind myself of how self-destructive these attacks are for Putin. They're brutal but militarily useless. They don't degrade Ukraine's ability to fight and they only make civilians hate Russians more. Ukraine uses *its* munitions far more effectively.

www.bbc.com/news/article... This is how reputations shatter. Anyone thinking Columbia is a good place to get an education needs to reconsider. The people running this place are complete idiots. They're the nerds that kept getting their lunch money stolen and have learned nothing since

So now we're begging China to solve our geopolitical shitstorms? This is going great!

This is your periodic reminder that every power MAGA gives Trump is a power that the next democratic president will have and likely use.

What's the over-under on when he starts demanding the blue states leave the union?

Zelensky: "We just destroyed 40% of Russia's nuclear capable aircraft in a single strike" Musk: <Sitting down at his keyboard> "Hold my beer"

When even the Trump-appointed agency head resigns over cuts, you know things have gotten so bad, we will never recover. www.science.org/content/arti...

"True, I did fire you 'for cause', cut off your health care, and made your mother drive 400 miles to talk to someone about her missing social security check. But hey, I'm 'stepping back', so let's let bygones by bygones. Why don't you head over to your local Tesla dealership and help a fella out?"

<pours scotch> Well, this weekend is starting out great.... <pours a double>

America's Finest News Source accurately describes the situation yet again.

The Onion is literally the best hard news outlet in America tonight.

Crushing tariffs ✔️ Abandoning alliances ✔️ Withdrawing from the Geneva Convention ✔️ Firing scientists, park rangers, and veterans ✔️ Ending scientific research ✔️ Banning 'illegal' protest ✔️ I swear to God, this is the worst Bingo game I've ever played.

REUs are the lifeblood of sustainable science. This will kill-off an entire generation of future scientists, especially when many students are already questioning whether there will be a research community to join.
