One thing Republicans grasp much better than Democrats is that public opinion is often much more elite driven than grassroots driven. If Democratic opinion leaders beat the drums on GOP accountability, voters will come along.

lol. lmao even

They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing. This is who MAGA is now.

He scammed over 1,000 people, most of whom were not wealthy - veterans, farmers, teachers, nurses, small businesses owners. Some lost everything. But he’s a rich Republican, so Trump let him get away with it. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/u...

The mayor of Akron, Ohio. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

My preferred candidate in the 2028 presidential primary will declare that she will direct the attorney general to seek the death penalty against Pete Hegseth.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

Trump’s stated justification for every single one of his despicable pardons of multiple drug traffickers, wealthy fraudsters, people who beat up cops, cronies, violent criminals, and politically connected Republicans is always the same: “I heard they were treated very unfairly.”

Zero reckoning from any of the elites who credulously parroted the absurd idea that the right wing was in favor of free speech.

h/t @adamwren.bsky.social Michael Bohacek, a Republican state senator from Indiana who has a daughter with down syndrome, says he will vote against redistricting in Indiana after Trump used the word "retarded."

This would be a clear war crime even against combatants in a declared war. Even at the platoon level, something even Hegseth could understand.

Oh nothing. Just a major conservative activist, former staffer for Chuck Grassley and a former clerk for Justice Neil Gorsuch calling me a "retarded pussy." Fun stuff on X, the everything site.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

NEW: ICE’s policy of mass detaining immigrants w pending deportation proceedings has led to an avalanche of rejections in court. More than 220 judges — including 23 Trump appointees — have called it an illegal distortion of long-settled law. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

He only had two reasons for running again: avoiding jail and cashing in.

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

This is a deeply unprofessional and illegal partisan statement from the Trump hack who's currently director of the CIA. It's also deeply dishonest, because the decision to grant the shooter asylum here was made by the Trump administration.

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback. www.reuters.com/investigates...

Newly released emails show the FBI spent almost $1 million in overtime analyzing the Epstein files as part of an effort dubbed the “Special Redaction Project."

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Guillotines

Kids these days just have to believe us that it never used to be acceptable for the president to threaten his political opponents with execution every day while stealing billions of dollars.

The thing about Trump stories is that they always have that extra layer of stupidity that you’re not expecting. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.

Is there an amount of wealth you can acquire that helps you sleep better at night when, as a specially appointed official representing the US, you side with and embrace a murderous dictator like Putin? Does material wealth make Witkoff feel good about that? How much does it take?

The Trump administration wanted to do something about affordability, so it cut a few highly visible tariffs. What does that suggest they believe the rest of their tariffs — which remain in place — are doing to affordability?

This is why Democrats need to actually be proactive instead of reactive on redistricting. These guys always balk or lie. Florida will eventually gerrymander AGAIN too. Every statewide democrat that isn't gerrymandering should be targeted with primaries, it's the number 1 most important issue.

NEW: DOJ said tonight that it was DHS Secretary Kristi Noem who made the call to proceed with the deportation of more than 100 Venezuelan men to El Salvador, despite a judge's order seeking to block the transfer. w/ @joshgerstein www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Holy shit Trump was going to give him shelter in the embassy, wasn't he?

This is how Trump merely suing people influences their behavior, and he knows it. Which is why he keeps doing it.

Also - Trump can’t answer the question “what is health insurance?” Asking him to solve healthcare is like asking a gerbil to play the clarinet. It’s ludicrous.

There is a certain kind of Catholic convert who thinks they are more Catholic than the Pope.

Trump objectively IS the most openly corrupt president in U.S. history. And suing people to stop them from saying it is part of that unprecedented corruption.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history." BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2036...

The good news: the president has pardoned the turkey. The bad news: two hours later the turkey was arrested for running a ponzi scheme and committing acts of gross sexual imposition.

A mayoral candidate saying maybe the city should cover the cost of bus rides gets the full socialism panic treatment before he even tries it. A sitting president taking billions of dollars worth of shares in private companies gets “I must say, a tad unusual” after it’s been going for nearly a year.

You can always have peace by forcing one side to surrender to their enemy. But that's evil.

Remember when Trump said he’d go after the “worst of the worst?” ICE just targeted a U.S. citizen high school student. That is not public safety—it’s cruelty.

Weird, I thought it was totalitarian censorship to sideline people with views you don’t agree with

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Garcia: The oversight committee and Democrats launched our official oversight immigration enforcement dashboard. The dashboard that allows our committee to investigate and document and archive for the public record, possible misconducts by federal agents, ICE, and DHS.

Maybe putting a dozen narcissistic poser Fox hosts in charge of sprawling federal agencies with millions of combined employees and vastly important responsibilities with enormous power wasn’t the greatest plan.

"It is extraordinary for the Pentagon to directly threaten a sitting member of Congress with investigation. Until Donald Trump’s second presidency, the institution in charge of the US military had usually strived to appear apolitical." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
