Ok how much did the military lose. The USPS is not a business

What if Mar-a-Lago was the real Comet Pizza basement all along?

In the Allstate ads which run constantly during college football, the message is clear: Dipshits prefer Allstate. Join them!

The torrent of lies just flows without pause.

Listening to a lot of The Mavericks today in honor of the passing of Raul Malo, a simply unforgettable singer who was one of the great male voices in pop music. He was 60. RIP. apnews.com/article/raul...

Now Duke can go play in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl

This is one of the more atrocious errors I’ve ever seen in the Post. “32 teams for a trophy,” when the graphic clearly, correctly shows 48 teams. How many people saw and failed to fix this?

Bongino saying the quiet--and cynical--part out loud. In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that. What a confession.

The White House surrenders at 138 million views. Sabrina wins.

This is monumentally hypocritical, and of course he knows it. These Trump goons get off on doing this right in front of our eyes. It makes them feel powerful.

This is where we are now. Families are starving in the wealthiest nation in the world. Meanwhile the president is intentionally trying to cut off food for hungry people who live in states that did not vote for him. It's not just immoral — it's un-American. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

Man this is a big loss. The heart of so many soul bands. RIP Steve Cropper

I hope all the folks standing behind Trump feel real good about being the backdrop for the racist ravings of a jerk.

NEW: The commutation Trump issued to David Gentile wipes away all further fines & restitution. Gentile had been sentenced to 7 years for his role in a $1.6B scheme that defrauded thousands of investors. Prosecutors had been seeking $15.5M in forfeiture. www.justice.gov/pardon/media...

Have been a very longtime print subscriber to @rollingstone.com and @vanityfair.com. Which to renew? Rolling Stone hired @mattbaidc.bsky.social for its national correspondent job. Vanity Fair hired Olivia Nuzzi to be its LA bureau chief. Rolling Stone it is! Goodbye Vanity Fair, you were once great.

Come for the description of Rahmanullah Lakanwa feeling abandoned by the CIA. Stay for the description of the entire group feeling abandoned by John Ratcliffe's attempt to disown the murder. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Really superb piece on kids keeping DC’s go-go music alive, by @marissajae.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

I wrote about Judge Jerry Smith's 104-page anti-semitic pro-racial gerrymandering crashout opinion, published yesterday, dissenting from the order blocking Texas's new electoral district map ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

I googled Walter Cronkite and this came up. For real.

Trump on MBS: "He's investing $1 trillion into the United States." (The entire GDP of Saudi Arabia is $1.1 trillion, so yeah, this isn't happening)

In which the Trump administration openly admits to racist redistricting, and the courts call them out on it: www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"It’s a goddamn disgrace. Especially when so many worthy journalists, who dedicated their lives to their profession with ethics and seriousness, are being cast onto the ash heap." www.unpopularfront.news/p/we-are-not...

In 2001, terrorists tried to destroy the White House with a hijacked plane. 24 years later, the president of the United States accepted a plane from people funding terrorists and destroyed the White House himself.🔄

SCOOP: Alexander Smirnov, the FBI informant convicted of lying about a fake bribery scheme involving the Bidens has been quietly released from prison just months into a six-year sentence—raising concern he could be pardoned by Trump any moment. jacquelinesweet.substack.com/p/fbi-inform...

The Washington Post laid off their Opinion page copy desk and promptly served up this gem today:

Suddenly remembering the time The Washington Post gave a strong review to a book critical of Opus Dei only to have the paper's executive editor, whose father was a priest, write a defense of the book for a Catholic publication.

Jeanine Pirro becoming the Washington Generals of prosecutors.

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

If you'd like to delight in a side-by-side comparison, here's Bari Weiss' reported note to CBS staffers (left) and the one I cooked up on ChatGPT with a quickly dashed-off prompt (right). Looking forward to hearing from you in the days and weeks ahead!

A critique of pure stupidity: understanding Trump 2.0 www.theguardian.com/news/2025/oc...

Fired prosecutor Mike Ben’Ary is a rock solid experienced AUSA and accuser Julie Kelly is a consistently wrong pro-Jan 6er.

Karen Attiah, a Washington Post opinion writer fired this month for her social media posts about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, has filed a grievance arguing that she should have been allowed to share her views on news events under the company’s labor agreement and social media policy.

Just gonna leave this here…. Scientist behind Trump’s Tylenol claims was paid $150K to give evidence against drug maker www.thetimes.com/article/aa7f...

Trump’s attack on vaccines yesterday — delivered from the White House — “was the most dangerously irresponsible press conference in the realm of public health in American history” @pauloffit.bsky.social told us. More on Trump’s false claims with @lenasun.bsky.social
