Gal at the bagel place: "What are you doing today?" Me:

Songs don’t save the world. They save people. …And people do the rest.

I’ll take immigrants over pederasts any day.

The spiked CECOT 60 Minutes segment ended up on YouTube, temporarily, after it was put on the Global TV App in Canada. You can still watch it in full here. archive.org/details/60mi...

For you - happy #Festivus!

In Georgia, the state has made "catastrophic" cuts at DHS, citing an $85 million deficit. A provider described one result: a mom who relapsed last week. "Visits with her child were keeping her sober, but transportation services had been cut." Georgia is sitting on a $14.6 *billion* budget surplus.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

Love San Diego doing this!

The story of Marcus Lattimore is one everyone should know. The man is my hero. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePRW...

Signed copies of Tupac books make lovely holiday gifts, dammit. chevaliersbooks.com/book/9780063...

Some people are opportunists.

For the love of God DO NOT Give pets as Xmas gifts. Too many of these “gifts” end up at the shelter . A Dog/Cat is a gift we give ourselves and they come with many sacrifices. Time,money, and a certain amount of collateral damage in their puppyhood.

For decades, we've been fed the same lie: homelessness is the fault of the homeless. And that lie is what lets pundits and politicians openly push for camps, crackdowns, and even killing unhoused people, instead of facing the reality of why millions can't afford a home. I spoke with Second Thought:

It's almost time for the War on Christmas. What I usually do to celebrate is watch the NFL, drink a Bud Light, and wear a tan suit. This year I'll add re-watching the World Cup draw show.

No argument from me. FML

I'm going to need about 25 years to process tonight's episode of Landman.

Ohio State game ratings are way up this year since so many of their fans got a presidential pardon.

It used to be that LIBRARIES were on the list of places to go to avoid MAGAts but now they go there to find WOKE books to burn at the next CULT meeting.

i want to thank the commanders fans in my life who wisely steered me away from getting invested in the team when last season seemed promising. your wisdom is beyond compare

I've been blown away by the generosity shown to my book this year, and wanted to take a moment to highlight some of the books that meant the most to me in 2025—along with a few I'm especially excited to see out in the world in the new year. THREAD

Really grateful to see THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US in such remarkable company on The Atlantic's list of the ten best books of the year.

This is the craziest (but coolest) thing I've ever seen. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/s...

Absolutely stunned and honored to see THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US on this list. I'm grateful beyond words to the five families who trusted me with their stories and allowed me to witness their struggle to secure a home.

Rep Pramila Jayapal: "Remember the militarized raid on a Chicago apartment building in the middle of the night where agents rappelled from helicopters and zip-tied sobbing children? It has resulted in ZERO criminal charges two months later. The cruelty, chaos, and fear are the point."

First 2 minutes of this week's Landman pissed me off. Then minute 3 made everything OK.

Homelessness in the U.S. is far more pervasive than the official figures suggest: roughly four million people are without housing right now. Many are part of the low-wage labor force, powering the very economy that has abandoned them. I spoke with PBS News about this devastating reality (Part 1):

Not going to lie, didn't see that particular ending.

The strings made this song iconic. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrk7wcMD/

Happening tonight: I'll be on PBS NewsHour Weekend talking about There Is No Place for Us and the roughly four million people—many of them powering, through their labor, the very companies raking in profits this weekend—who are experiencing homelessness in America right now.

I am Bill Becker and I approve of this message... x.com/jontweetsspo...

I love you that Jeff gives back and supports up and coming writers.

With Black Friday approaching, there will inevitably be well-intentioned talk that these deals are only possible because workers are denied a livable wage. Don't buy into this. It's not low prices vs. fair pay. It's the demand for ever-higher profits and shareholder returns that forces deprivation.

Stop trying to make “Department of War” happen, it’s not gonna happen

ICYMI: I spoke with CBS Sunday Morning about my book, There Is No Place for Us, alongside the families whose desperate efforts to secure housing the book follows—people working nonstop and still being pushed into homelessness.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has released receipts that reveal that ProPublica has reported that Kristi Noem secretly diverted hundreds of millions of dollars in Department of Homeland Security funds to a consulting firm affiliated with her own campaign.
