On top of everything, Chump Broadcasting Sycophancy is showing the KC Honors *before* Christmas?? Everyone knows their proper place is the week before New Years when time as a concept does not exist.

It’s a wonder more parents don’t avoid lying to their kids at Christmastime by saying “Better get to sleep so Daddy and Mommy can play Santa and Mrs. Claus together…”

I wasn’t feeling particularly Christmassy until I started singing David Bowie’s part (the “Peace on Earth” lines) in this while feeding the cats this morning. Highly recommended if you’re in the seasonal doldrums! youtu.be/lCpXMy5GalI?si

For better or worse, public figures are judged when they die — their character, contributions, beliefs. It's undeniable that millions have mourned Rob Reiner's tragic death, celebrating his talent and contributions. I suspect when a certain public figure kicks the bucket, sentiments wont be the same

Representing oligarchs as working class heroes is a new low…even for us.

Can you imagine 50 people a day, I said 50 people a day, walking into an ICE office, singing "You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant" and walking out?

Before DOGE, systems meant to serve millions of people were being run by a few harried employees using outdated systems. And now, after DOGE, they are being run by even fewer, even more harried employees on those same outdated systems!

If you had told me Mamdani and MTG would both be in the news today, and gave me eleventy thousand guesses as to why, I’d … still be guessing.

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

I think this clip is the key to understanding why Trump acted the way he did with Mamdani. His world revolves around TV ratings. "I tell you, the press has eaten this thing up."

I think what we need now is a sort of reverse Pop Up Video for The American Revolution showing which musical number in Hamilton is being referenced with the relevant rhymes and characters popping up onscreen from time to time.

Remember a few weeks ago when Trump brought in a couple bulldozers and demolished about a third of the White House? That was weird.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

“Don’t Give Up the Ship!”

Beautiful interview. Patti Smith on the One Desire That Lasts Forever www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/o...

Question for XKCD’s What If?: “What’s the longest possible sunset you can experience while driving, assuming you’re obeying the speed limit and driving on paved roads?” The answer is surprising. [kottke.org]

If you’re a conservative who’s triggered by the new Ken Burns documentary on The American Revolution, you’re a fragile punk-ass weakling. Go run home to your momma and cry on her knee. Don’t bother the rest of us with your insecurity.

love how this reads like a farewell speech He knows his time is up

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

I am well aware that they are and will continue to do massive damage to this country but does it feel like they’re on a glide path to successful authoritarian consolidation anymore? I submit that it does not

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Midday today, as new revelations from the Epstein documents were hitting social media every few minutes, Representative Swalwell posted: “This is the beginning of the end.”

Reads like the liner notes to a dystopic Radiohead album

“Well, everyone knows Custer died at Little Bighorn. What this book presupposes is... maybe he didn't?”

Yikes indeed

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

I do think the least Democrats can do to message this disaster is hammer that they finally realized a sociopathic leader just doesn’t care how many people suffer in order to win. He would never compromise because he doesn’t care about other people as long as he continues to hoover up dirty money.

Tuesday’s elections were NOT about the Democratic Party. They were about candidates focusing on the wants and needs of their constituents; about new leaders prepared to fight; about representation in every sense of the word. Party leaders haven’t absorbed this yet.

people need to start viewing politicians the way they currently view retail and food service workers

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

More Senate Democrats folded to let Trump gut our healthcare than House Republicans folded to release the Epstein files. This is example of why we can't have nice things.

We have updated our call script so you can let your Senators know how you feel about this (TERRIBLE) deal they just advanced... 👉🏽 5calls.org/issue/federa...

What will Mike Johnson's new excuse be for not swearing in Grijalva?

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

I do think the fundamental problem is we see the country on the existential brink, and they still appear to believe that there’s still some value in the way they’ve always done things.

Republicans are going to laugh at Democrats and do nothing on healthcare. They will continue helping Trump fulfill Project 2025. Dems learn nothing.

The Senate passing a bill that is NOT the House CR means the House has to also vote on it. Dems are doing harm reduction and forced the repubs to cave and pass a different bill than the House. Now let's see what House repubs do.

Cowards die many times before their deaths, The valiant never taste of death but once.

remember tuesday? that was 86 years ago

Maybe important to note it was the disruption in air travel that Democrats couldn't stand and not, you know, 40+ million people not knowing where their next meal was coming from.
