Trump just commuted the 7-year sentence of David Gentile, a private equity leader who helped defraud thousands of people out of some $1.6 billion, almost as soon as his prison stint began. "I lost my whole life savings," one person wrote, adding, "I am living from check to check."

AWESOME A Russian drone flew over Moldova and crash landing. After calling the Russian ambassador to meet with Moldovan authorities They placed the 6 ft drone at the entrance to the Ambassador’s entrance so the Russians had to walk around the drone as the Russians left. Way to go Moldova!!

Our kids are watching

Cybertrucks when there's an inch of snow. 😆 #Cyberstuck

"I had always hoped that this land might become a safe and agreeable asylum to the virtuous and persecuted part of mankind, to whatever nation they might belong." .. (George Washington).. (Cartoon Dave Granlund).. #trump #maga #immigration

Couldn’t say it any better than this. So I won’t.

This is how Enron did its accounting (seriously)

In the richest city in the richest country on the planet, the thing we can’t afford is to forget those who are left hungry.

Called it.

So Trump granted asylum to the National Guard shooter. And the timing was perfect to distract people from his troubles. Too many coincidences. Reminds me of his fake assassination attempt.

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up. Your 70% number is just a fabrication. And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

The X platform now has a new tool that promotes scrutiny about the origin of X accounts. I've noticed lately that more trolls are invading Bsky. This same feature that X has so members can check an account's country of origin would be super helpful to weed out the bad guys from causing harm here.

This Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for so much - above all, for loved ones who are with us in our best and worst moments, and who remind us who we really are. From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes. And then also fired a ton of senior agents with a ton of counterterrorism experience, including the Acting Director.

Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.

As if the lawsuits ever had a chance.

Bruna Caroline Ferreira, who was brought to the U.S. as a child and is the mother of Leavitt’s nephew, was arrested near Boston earlier this month and taken into ICE custody.

Are they ready to save it not privately—

This is true. It is the best email I got this year.

It’s not that complicated, people.

"One National Guard member was shot in the head, according to a person familiar with the details "A suspect who was in custody also was shot and has injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening, the source said. By ALANNA DURKIN RICHER, GARY FIELDS 1:41 PM MST apnews.com/article/nati...

"Two National Guard members were shot Wednesday near the White House and are in critical condition, according to a law enforcement official not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and who spoke to AP on condition of anonymity."

MGT has seen her networth jump from $700k to $25 million since joining Congress in 2021. And she served juuust long enough to get a lifetime tax payer-funded pension. She got the joke. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Kimmel just read out Bobby Jr’s poem in the air

Mark Kelly on Kimmel: Says he found out about Trump calling for his death when he was in SCIF - where you can’t bring your phone - when an aide brought in a note to his senate colleague Elissa Slotkin saying “the President is calling for your execution.”

Russian asset Ron Johnson says there’s no money to give Americans $2K inflation checks. But there is money for a despot’s $250M ballroom and enough to give $40B to Argentina’s dictator. I’ll always remember Ron paying Putin a visit in Moscow on July 4th weekend in 2018.

If they’re estranged, did the Trump Administration do Leavitt’s brother a favor and get rid of her? An appalling suggestion, but these people are appalling.

Of course it is……..

the woman using the r-word in this clip, Laura Ndirangu, is now interviewing for a position on the school board in Forest Lake, Minnesota

A new federal directive by Mehmet Oz allows the sharing of Medicaid applicant data with DHS effective immediately, rescinding previous “interagency integrity” firewalls. This forces mixed-status families into an impossible calculus: access life-saving medical care or remain invisible to enforcement.

Sure looks like Karoline Leavitt had her nephew's mother deported right before Thanksgiving as a favor to her brother.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

It says a lot about our country that the FBI had no interest in interviewing Brett Kavanaugh but wants to talk to Mark Kelly.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Abraham, a physician who is not board certified in any specialty & has made a career as an extremely partisan politician, is now #2 at CDC. Despite working full time in political office, he is one of the top prescribers of ivermectin & he oversaw the end of Louisiana’s public vaccination campaigns.

‼️‼️

Looks like it’s going to be another perfectly normal day from the American right-wing.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone. Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work. Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart. Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE. ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.
