JACK. ASS.

Utterly and appallingly wicked

Venezuela has become the Trump regime’s comfort atrocity. Any time Donald doesn’t like what’s on the TV, he blows up another boat filled with civilians. And it’s only a matter of time before it gets even worse. Possibly far worse. Possibly very fast.

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.

Racism is so powerful in America it’s our greatest intellectual export

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

NEW: Rep. Don Bacon tells @axios.com he was “so angry” last week about the Trump admin’s proposed Russia-Ukraine peace deal that he considered resigning in protest. He ultimately decided against it, he says, but not before giving Mike Johnson an earful. www.axios.com/2025/11/25/d...

Never gets old.

Senator Kelly’s remarks in the video are “a 100% accurate representation of what the law says." “No American citizen should have to deal with this type of preposterous investigation.” - Professor Eugene Fidell, leading military justice expert in Wall Street Journal www.wsj.com/politics/mar...

Expedited FOIA on the Epstein files? Yeah, there’s a reason certain folks are sweating through their spray tan in hiding tonight.

3/ In South Florida, Operation Tidal Wave, a collaboration between ICE and state law enforcement, swept up a teenager and left him in federal custody after officers couldn’t make contact with his dad. His dad is deaf.

1/ THREAD: This year ICE has sent a record 600 immigrant kids into federal shelters, more than in the previous four years combined. Data suggests some are being separated from their families. For one 15-year-old, it began with a cracked windshield 👇

This poisonous Trump regime is a disgrace. Their removal will be a day to celebrate.

The failure of media to talk about wages relative to inflation was one of the most frustrating things about the 2024 campaign.

Massie (R-KY) says the FBI is sitting on files that name 20 other men tied to Epstein’s sex trafficking operation; including a high-profile government official.

This is what rock-bottom polling does to a man with a fragile ego.

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

What is surely most galling to Trump is Greene’s declaration that he wasn't able to control them. trib.al/4TM7CSw Not by privately pressuring Republicans. Not by raging on Truth Social. His control over what information enters and exits MAGA minds turns out not to be absolute, after all.

Why is Kennedy so convinced he’s right? lol his fucking dark money group makes big money selling bullshit. Kennedy will absolutely end up back with Children’s Health Defense when he’s out of government. It’s his nest egg. It’s in his financial best interest to sow doubt in vaccines and science.

Hearing news that Carl Dieffenbach, the Director of the Division of AIDS at #NIH (NIAID), has been removed from his position because he was "not aligned with HHS/OMB." Russell Vought continues to remove great scientists as part of the Project 2025 mission to politicize and destroy NIH. 🧪 1/

If we go to war with Venezuela, it will not end just there. I want to make clear that Americans know this. I highly recommend making plans that are flexible. I will leave it that

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.

62% of Jewish Israelis say a militant should be killed even if they pose no threat. 55% support heavy fire on Palestinian population centers after rocket attacks. Those findings come from a new Israel Democracy Institute poll of 600 Jewish Israelis. Here’s what else it found: ▪️ Belief in IDF...

Here is @katz.theracket.news, sanely explaining why the Epstein case matters a lot (pace David #$*&@#)(*$ Brooks) The chaos and noise all around makes it real hard to focus on the obvious, which is why everyone needs real journalists like @katz.theracket.news theracket.news/p/why-the-ep...

an organization that operates illegitimately is illegitimate

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Americans do not think of Venezuela as a major threat to the US. Instead, more see a minor one, and they are largely opposed to potential military action. L

[Harpo Marx was born Adolf (later Arthur) Marx on this day in 1888. Circa HORSE FEATHERS he was handing out nude photographs of himself as a gag; one was auctioned recently for $5,760. You can see it here, but I've warned you. (Thanks Teakagee!)] bid.juliensauctions.com/lot-details/...

JD Vance and Peter Thiel are running a sustained operation out of the White House designed to acquire Greenland, either voluntarily or by force. Thiel has laid out plans for what he intends to do with the island nation in past writings. It doesn't entail the consent of the Greenlanders for anything.

I think Mamdani getting trump to agree to fund New York while making no concessions in return was good. I think Harris getting Cheney to denounce trump without offering concessions in return was good. like, I feel like when you win you should take the win.

ICE now using punitive GPS ankle monitors in almost highest numbers since 2021, nearly 35,000 people monitored this way compared to less than 5,000 in 2023. austinkocher.substack.com/p/breaking-i...

🇺🇦 Zelensky: The crux of the entire diplomatic situation is that it was Russia, and only Russia, that started this war, and it is Russia, and only Russia, that has been refusing to end it throughout the full-scale invasion.

Although the scale of this is still to be assessed, this is the inevitable outcome of the monetization of the algorithm. Rage-bait becomes a personal revenue model. Nothing about this should be a surprise.

For over 300 years now, it is a bedrock principle in Anglo-American constitutionalism that obedience is owed according only to law. Refusal to follow an illegal command is not only a moral choice but an absolute duty.

last seen on television being arrested for assault and battery of a sex worker. bring back shame.

The chairman of the Senate Armed Services is not a fan of the Trump admin’s Ukraine peace plan.

How is it real that the Executive Branch of the United States is acting as a cutout for Vladimir Putin? But here we are.

Tougher requirements that Trump’s administration is planning for housing subsidies prompted sharp criticism from Democratic lawmakers about the potential impact on aging and disabled veterans who rely on the federal assistance to stay off the streets. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

Say what you will, but Biden was always careful to point out that people were still struggling whenever he reported positive economic news. Equating him to Trump's full blown gaslighting operating is insane

Except, of course, it’s *not* all he can say. Cassidy could concede publicly that confirming Kennedy was a tragic mistake. He could call for RFK Jr's resignation. He could schedule hearings, haul the secretary to Capitol Hill, and demand the CDC’s public resources reflect the scientific cannon.

“THE EPSTEIN HOAX IS JUST LIKE THE RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA HOAX.” “by the way here’s a peace plan that we totally wrote up on our own”

Excellent piece.

Stuffing ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.

Ah yes, just pick up & move your entire life. Yes, it's <checks notes> the Democrats who are out of touch with working class Real Folkz. Congrats again to Democratic elites who told us this guy was a credible Treasury Secretary because he went to the right schools & the right cocktail parties.

And I get upset about liquor laws in NC, and ABC stores being closed Sundays. This is wild.
