Thanksgiving came early for hatemongers, nativists, and bigots who will use this to be anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim but never have a word to say when shooters and terrorists are white men. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history." BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2036...

Who would've thought this would happen when voting for the oldest person elected to office? We truly live in one of the most self-destructive countries. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.

you're telling me a right-wing catholic convert is just a protestant in disguise? shocked

What if we’re the shithole country?

“.. In late June, .. the website removed any mention of ‘Made in the USA,’ as was originally promised. “.. Instead, the website now says the phone is ‘brought to life right here in the USA’ ..” 🤡 @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

Does the BBC think it's improper for a speaker to state their opinion that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history? Because I think almost all historians would readily agree that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history.

NEW: President Biden commuted the death sentences of most people on the federal death row before exiting office. President Trump is now effectively looking to retaliate, and to detain those people in the most brutal conditions in the federal system. Bolts reports: boltsmag.org/death-row-cl...

ICE arrests, detains British woman with US husband and newborn when she shows up for her green card interview. She’s now in a detention center, separated from her 6-month-old. No criminal record. She had overstayed her visa. www.lbc.co.uk/article/brit...

News coverage of DOGE’s creation earlier this year was practically wall-to-wall — for weeks. “$2 trillion in savings, $5000 dividend checks, an entirely new model of government.” And now that it’s gone, it’s like eh. @techcrunch.com techcrunch.com/2025/11/24/d...

This is exactly right

I do appreciate that they've completely dropped the pretense.

UPDATE: We've added 5 more staffers to our DOGE tracker, taking the total to 114. This is everyone who we've confirmed has worked for DOGE ⤵️

NEW: The RNC has filed a sweeping new lawsuit in Michigan aiming to strike down a state law that protects voting access for U.S. citizens abroad — the GOP’s second attempt in under two years, and a far broader challenge than the one they lost in 2024.

Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature. 2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise! That "feature" is now gone.

The one thing folks across the spectrum agreed with RFK and MAHA about was getting chemicals *out* of our food.

Despite being with a judge who vouches for the kid, ICE agents snatch a 16-year-old out of his car. I wish police or state troopers would start arresting ICE agents for kidnapping. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

we appear to be on to version six of this story

King: According to Secretary Rubio, this plan is not the administration’s position — it is essentially the Russians’ wish list that is now being presented to the Europeans and to the Ukrainians.

What a shit show. Everyone could see this plan was written by the Kremlin. Adopted by Witkoff and Trump who demanded Ukraine accept it by this Thursday. After a firestorm of objections by Europe and Republican senators it appears Rubio wants to distance himself from it.

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

It's no coincidence that the Department of Education removing many majors as being 'professional degrees' mostly affect fields dominated by women. Take another look at Project 2025. Women not getting federal funding for these degrees forces them out of the workforce - which is their ultimate aim.

Keir Starmer has demanded an investigation into links between Reform UK and Russia following the jailing of the party's former Wales leader for accepting pro-Russian bribes news.sky.com/story/starme...

In Rhode Island, ICE arrested an intern who worked for a court, and then a judge intervened to say they had the wrong person. All leading to a scene where ICE agents surrounded the judge's car and "threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply." www.wfla.com/news/judge-i...

Susan Collins on her role in the govt funding bill before she got blowback about the vile, corrupt provision she's reported to have slipped in to benefit several of her GOP Senate pals: "I was responsible for not only putting the bill together but also managing it on the Senate floor." #MEpolitics

ICE goons entered a woman’s home without a warrant, guns out, terrorizing her and her two children. The man they were looking for didn’t live at the house. www.fox5ny.com/news/ice-rai...

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.

big Chicago news: Cook County prosecutor is making it citywide that the police can file certain felony charges directly, *without review* by a prosecutor: www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/21/f... Bolts reported in March when she created this program in just one (predominantly Black) area of Chicago:

Trump Guns, from the man who just called for the execution of elected legislators.

Now one of Susan Collins beltway errand-runners is pushing the spin that Collins felt "blindsided" by a provision that other outlets have reported COLLINS HERSELF INSERTED into the funding bill. So much of the DC press is totally shameless. #MEpolitics

DOD contractors “mistakenly” landed on a Mexican beach, declared it US property and planted “restricted area” DOD signs, triggering a tense confrontation with armed Mexican forces. Mexico removed the signs, insisting the area is theirs. Yet another example of total incompetence.

"Life felt more doable a year and a half ago."

A blockbuster investigation by the AP, out today. So much in it, give it a read, but starts with: "The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious."
