Two people were shot at a gas station in my rural town in Mississippi today. I guess 500 troops are gonna have to be taken away from their families during the holidays to come occupy my small town now too, huh?

FFS no, NYT, they are not. See, instead: https://presswatchers.org/2025/08/the-elite-media-still-falls-for-trumps-lies/

The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, DC today is a horrible tragedy. We must all condemn this kind of unacceptable violence. MK and I are praying for the victims, their families, and all of our service members who sign up to serve our country.

There must be zero tolerance for violence — of any kind — against the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our communities and our country. The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. is horrific and unacceptable.

When I worked for Obama, I advised him on how to talk to Russian leaders. I never gave the Kremlin advice on how to talk to Obama (and I talked to Ushakov many times!).

You can walk away. Before the shame follows you home. #StopICE

One tiny correction would put everything in its place: ❌ Steve Witkoff, the U.S. Special Envoy. ✅ Steve Witkoff, Russia’s Special Envoy. www.bloomberg.com/news/article... www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Can’t unsee it.

Abuse of power extending beyond Senator Kelly "FBI has requested interviews with six Democratic U.S. lawmakers." DOJ official "said the interviews were to determine 'if there's any wrongdoing and then go from there.'" Note: For video accurately stating military law www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi...

CARTOON OF THE DAY 🇺🇸

When Mark Kelly spoke to the troops, he wasn’t talking politics. He was reinforcing the pillars of a free country.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Did you know that nearly every resident in Philadelphia lives less than 10 minutes from a public park?

With important peace talks underway in Europe, the Trump admin sent the Army Secretary to represent the Pentagon since they can t trust unserious Hegseth not to embarrass them with his daily dipshittery. So they kept him home to threaten Mark Kelly with a court martial.

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...

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand. The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are reshaping the chemistry of global food crops. The phenomenon is making them larger and more calorific but significantly less nutritious. New research reveals steep declines in minerals and proteins across dozens of staple foods.

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.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

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.

For a friend: #Pennsylvania 1st amendment attorneys: I have a friend suddenly fired from his university position for assigning a VERY benign essay about virtue that some auditing students deemed “too political”. He was given no opportunity to protest, & needs someone pro-bono ASAP. It’s urgent.

Sen Brian Schatz asks the question of the day to Jonathan Greenblatt, the ADL head who is working overtime to foment fascism

Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols. The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

Do you really think a Department of Justice that lies to judges about grand jury indictments is going to be open and honest about the Epstein Files?

Any President who calls for the opposition party to be hanged should be immediately impeached and removed from office.

His earlier drafts were overruled and revised: Operation Rough Cider Operation Hammered at Midnight Operation Southern Comfort

Why the fuck is this framed as “teenager chose to prostitute herself and ruined the career of innocent congressman”

The Epstein case against Trump is as if everyone is looking at a 500 piece puzzle with 2 pieces missing and pretending they can't make out the picture for certain.

Indiana University, which has now been subordinated to the direct control of the Indiana GOP, announces that criticism of the MAGA movement and doctrines of the GOP is forbidden. An instructor is dismissed for speaking critical words about the MAGA movement.

When criminals run the Justice Department, this is what it looks like.

"don't worry, he's just into 15-year-olds" perhaps not as exculpatory as you think Also 15-year-olds are not "barely legal." They are minors.

Sarah Kendzior was named by Foreign Policy as one of the “100 people you should be following on Twitter to make sense of global events.”¹ Why do you suppose @jay.bsky.team would choose to censor the Bluesky social media environment by throttling and suspending a vital, pro-democracy voice? 1/

DeLauro: The president went to the supreme court to deprive kids of food. Unbelievable. And now wants to deny their parents healthcare.

Infuriating.

Felony vandalism? They were hanging a cardboard bug on a wall.

Old politicians are destroying our democracy.

Two months ago we were paying all federal workers, SNAP benefits were fully funded, and people could afford their health insurance premiums but a small group of Democratic senators have Stockholm Syndrome and are telling us we have to Sophie’s choice one or two of these things.

Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??

My fear is that Trump and DOJ will destroy the portions of the Epstein files that are damning to Trump. They are capable of this and they have the access to do it.

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask. Cowards

They know what they’re doing is wrong.

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

Federal immigration cops are using "wellness checks" on minors as a ruse to get into homes and arrest people for alleged immigration violations. In this case, an alleged check on a 17-year-old let them arrest his 22-year-old brother, who was brought here at 11 and has protected status.

Holy F! 👀 She let them shoot her doing this?!! The Next Mrs Vance scandal gets darker & darker.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I am 64 years old and FOR MOST OF MY LIFE two things were true: - fascists were trying to take over the USA - we were beating them Those creeps are beatable. We beat them for decades. In the 30s they tried a form of MAGA and US beat them. The 50s? McCarthy purges. US beat them. Do. Not. Doom.

If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.
