How is it that we already know so much about the guy who shot 2 national guardsmen this afternoon but we know pretty much nothing about the two guys who tried to assassinate the president months ago?

the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity

NEW: The two shot National Guard troops never should have been in DC. More troops is no answer. The violence is horrible and unacceptable. Trump, Pete Hegseth, and West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey never should have put the troops in this position. Tonight, at Law Dork:

THE NERD REICH omfg

Seriously everything, EVERYTHING about the RFK/Nuzzi/LIzza moment is an argument for a newsroom where you pitch stories in front of each other and editors who shield you from your own worst impulses.

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

for the record and future reference: if it's plain, it's a cross. if it has the little man on it, it's a crucifix

A year after @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom’s Salmon Strategy removed four dams on the Klamath River — “salmon have been observed spawning in the Klamath River, including tributaries upstream of Klamath Lake where they have not been seen in more than 100 years.”

If someone at your Thanksgiving meal doesn’t know about the Olivia Nuzzi saga and also you don’t want them ever to speak to you again then send them this *very* comprehensive summary of it all.👇👇

not the point, but I did a doubletake on this graphic - "That blob is labeled 'White House' but they left off part of ... oh right"

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.

On AI’s ‘mediocrity trap’ — experiments indicates that while AI helps the less skilled make something passable, the highly skilled don’t use it to produce something better than they could have; they produce something ok, but lose motivation to make it great. www.jin-li.org/uploads/1/1/...

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Remember when he mocked everyone else for being “low energy”? Look at him now. Nodding off, slurring, and cutting his days short because he cannot keep up. The myth of unstoppable Trump is long gone.

🚨 COMMUNITY ALERT🚨 At LaGuardia Airport, there are several rumored and one confirmed ICE arrest of domestic travelers. If you are at risk of detention or not sure, exercise caution while traveling. Make a safety plan in case of detention and consult an immigration attorney.

you're telling me a right-wing catholic convert is just a protestant in disguise? shocked

A new level of "pick your judge" -- a special grand jury in a location with only one judge, guaranteeing that Trump's favorite handles the case. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/u...

the Doug Mills video embedded in the NYT Trump aging story is pretty amazing

Every question headline should end like this “Is Trump’s cognition in decline? Bold, bin-raiding raccoons may have a surprising answer” “Will there be a third WICKED movie? Bold, bin-raiding raccoons may have a surprising answer” “Who will go 1st in the NBA draft? Bold, bin-raiding raccoons” etc

To be clear (since NPR isn't), the "joke" is premised on the fact that Trump is kidnapping people w/o due process and shipping them to offshore concentration slave camps in defiance of court orders, human rights accordances, the U.S. constitution, all tenets of common decency, and international law.

This is the future of the party. House Oversight Dems set up a central database for the public record of possible misconduct incidents with ICE as they occur. You can find it here: oversightdemocrats.house.gov/immigration-... Thank you @crockett.house.gov @robertgarcia.house.gov among the rest.

Now here’s the kind of news you drop going into a long holiday weekend. Maybe no one will notice. 🤡 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Here’s Seth Meyers’ hilarious take on Trump’s turkey pardon today. The only thing more fucking stupid than this tradition is Trump himself.

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…

Let’s see more of this!

If you are on BBC live, you know what to do (I don't even think this statement would be controversial among experts. He's openly monetizing the office and making literally billions of dollars!)

"Nobody's asking for this!" The oil companies are asking for it, Matt.

Really not a fan of coverage that goes “Diplomatic Agreement Reached, What an Achievement!” in the headline and “except all the major points of contention still have to be worked out and no one has the slightest idea how to implement what’s been agreed to” in a subhead or body. That’s a disservice.

In 1968, a soldier named Hugh Thompson defied orders to save Vietnamese lives during the My Lai massacre. Eventually seen as a hero, in real time he was vilified and nearly court-martialed It's Congress' job to stop Trump's war crimes, not the troops. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

In addition to being a fascinating (if horrific) insight into a mostly-unknown period of European prehistory, this includes a BANGER of a quote: "I can see why all these people without heads wouldn’t be good for a community, and might be a cause for abandonment." www.science.org/content/arti...

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards comforting lies we tell ourselves.

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.

In an extraordinary journey, a Palestinian man used a jet ski to cross the Mediterranean Sea and reach Europe after he fled the war in Gaza.

This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.

While baristas are on strike, our job is simple: DON’T SHOP AT STARBUCKS. They’re striking for fair pay and respect and we’re standing with them. Show the billionaires our solidarity is stronger than their greed. #NoContractNoCoffee

Secretary Duffy also asks that you wipe that food off the side of your mouth. Not that side, the other side.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired. If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

You know, in the run-up to Iraq, people didn't talk this way out loud. Now? MAGA doesn't understand that there's a loud part and a quiet part.

Genuine question: has any GOP member of house or senate spoken out about the Dept of defense and Hegseth threatening sen Mark Kelly with lawfare? Beyond disturbing Especially any veterans? Shame on all those who stay silent

Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement. "If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

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.
