Black Friday Sales but for groceries, rent, electricity bills, and healthcare.

Maybe not all life necessities like food production and healthcare should be run by for-profit industries.

We may be getting the Epstein Files in December, but they’re still hiding the Jobs Report, the Inflation Report, and the GDP Report.

Pamela Jo has until December 20th to release the Epstein files. She must include explanations for everything she redacts or withholds.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

when trying on pants, do this in the store. then tell the sales associate "the menswear guy told me to do this." IG mr.funkys0ul

Might be time to activate the Grift Klaxon. The US Space Force has awarded several sub-$9 million contracts to undisclosed companies to build early prototypes of space-based missile interceptors for Trump’s Golden Dome defence program, Bloomberg reports. All names kept secret.

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...

Several weeks ago John Oliver said the only phrase that can genuinely make a weak bully go away is, "Fuck you. Make me." Kudos to those saying exactly that.

“Fuck you” is great messaging. I’m not kidding. This is great. All democratic leaders should watch this and learn.

Seeing this “Presented By ChatGPT” logo on the Apple News app now. Hmmm

I think it’s pretty clear at this point that one of the main impacts of LLMs is to disrupt thinking: to make it so that far too many people never properly learn how to do it, and then to control the output so there are thoughts that people never learn how to think.

I don’t know what the Supreme Court will do, but I am confident that at the District Court level it is still the case that the Pentagon cannot recall a sitting US Senator to active duty in order to court martial him for something he said. Article 1, Section 6, among other constitutional provisions.

🚨 Initially I did not grant this the bandwidth it warranted. They have my attention now. 1/2

ICE kidnapped a 17-year-old U.S. citizen named Christian Jimenez. Jimenez, a high school senior born in Newberg, Oregon, was driving on his school’s lunch break when ICE/CBP agents stopped his car, smashed his window, and abducted him on November 21, 2025. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

In Marco Rubio's mind he's heroically eating a heap of shit every day so he can stand up for the US when it really matters and this is one of those things that he thinks matters.

We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled. He’s going to kill people for oil.

Meta halted internal research that purportedly showed (young) people who stopped using Facebook became less depressed and anxious, according to an unredacted legal filing released on Friday. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/m...

“Bubbles don’t end when people realize valuations are wrong, but when investors need cash. To pay out taxes, service debt, and cover obligations, people need to sell assets, and when enough investors are in need of liquidity at the same time, that’s when bubbles crack.”

A Royal Navy patrol ship has intercepted two Russian vessels off the UK coast, the Ministry of Defence has said.

And some supposedly serious people, including journalists, stay active on Xitter because...because...I have no fucking idea why.

I hope MTG reads the Epstein list on the floor of Congress

Welker: Do you think that Trump is a fascist? Mamdani: That’s something that I’ve said in the past. I say it today. Welker: You’ve called him a despot. Do you still believe Trump is a threat to the democracy? Mamdani: Everything that I’ve said in the past, I continue to believe.

We’ve got one more chance to stomp the regime at the ballot box in 2025: @aftynbehn.bsky.social (a state representative and former Indivisible organizer) can flip a Tennessee district that Trump won by double-digits if we turn enough voters out: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Yet another unique way to stimulate cellular immunity against cancer. “Using the gut immune system to induce cellular immunity is a unique approach,” Shirakawa notes. “And it should be very easy to extend it to other antigen proteins and also infectious diseases.” #ScienceSunday

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Genius

WTF newrepublic.com/post/203517/... This is like a Maddow fever dream circa 2018

The U.S. is the biggest emitter of carbon emissions from AI, making up 45% of the world’s emissions.

Meanwhile in Russia: state media hosts and experts praised Trump's 28-point "peace plan," noting that it's in perfect alignment with Russia's goals and does not take Ukraine's interests into account. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyqh...

U.S. police forces are out of control and must be reigned in.

Zohran Mamdani to release PSA video, "How to talk to your deranged racist MAGA uncle at Thanksgiving dinner."

🤣🤣🤣 Kathy Hochul just said Elise Stefanik is full of shit

BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene announces she is resigning from Congress. Her last day in office will be January 5, 2026.

lol why is this stupid shitpost doing numbers. 🤣

BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene says she's resigning from Congress — effective January 5, 2026.

Just a reminder to all Defense Force members, if you commit a crime and you are prosecuted, “I was just obeying orders” will not be an acceptable defense if it was an illegal order. You are expected to know the Constitution that you’ve sworn to protect.

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Raskin: "The condoning by President Trump of the assassination of Mr. Khashoggi, preceded by one day President Trump essentially endorsing threats against the lives of our colleagues…We can't allow a situation to develop where POTUS is condoning the assassination of foreign or American leaders."

"Sir, did you just abuse and insult a journalist for asking a question? And did you publicly call a woman a piggie? Is this the way a U.S. President behaves?" A reporter who so spoke loses WH credentials, maybe his job if his agency is gutless. But absent such, the entire WHPC is without honor.

Someone who blackmails you is not a "key partner". The US as partner is gone. And for Europe too.

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.” Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

Ouch.

WHOA. The FBI was/is spying on a Signal chat for a New York immigration court watch group, claiming they were “anarchist violent extremist actors.” Your reminder that the government is watching and don’t say anything in a big group chat you wouldn’t say on TV. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

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.

Remarkable: Rep Chrissy Houlahan, one of the Dems that Trump called for executing, tells me her office literally filled out a Capitol Police threat report that listed "the president" as the person making the threat. It's at 9:20 on our pod. Much more like that here: newrepublic.com/article/2034...
