"My most vivid memories of my school life is Farage repeatedly coming up to me, knowing that I was Jewish, saying 'Hitler was right' and 'gas em' and that was frequently followed by imitating the sound of escaping gas." Peter Ettedgui, ex classmate of Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage.

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.

can't believe this ancient mesopotamia shoe wearing ass said people need to dress up at the airport

"It's totally fine that someone putatively in charge of others' mental health acts like a complete fucking psychopath online" is, uh. Kind of a problematic thought to hold.

Like "this therapist has politics that disagree with mine" are fine. "This therapist likes the wrong sports team, or swears when not at work" also fine. "This therapist rages the fuck out and tries to bait people into problematic statements so that she and her clique can then dogpile them" is, uh.

To the young leaders of Fisk University and the volunteers I met with the Tennessee Democratic Party: Thank you for using your voice to fight for our nation. Always remember, the power is with the people.

Joe Biden should have seized the Times under asset forfeiture

Here. Let me help you. She's super super smart. You're not. She's right. You're wrong. Please listen to what I'm saying here and it will help you a lot.

I feel like this is going on with *every* topic I attempt to google. It was first noticeable to me years ago when searches about video games started returning multiple pages of identical, content free "articles". But the added "sophistication" & sheer volume of trash AI results is out of control.

It gets worse -- much worse She donated to McCain/Palin and Ron Paul, and works for the oil industry 😂😂😂

This is a little too on the nose:

RFK Sr.'s trip to Mississippi in *1967* left him shaken. It is obscene how many problems we have solved in living memory and people just pocketed those gains and decided they could never return. Now we have Kennedy's son leading the charge to bring them back. It's deranged.

"Let Us Now Praise Famous Men" was published in *1941.* People today do not have any conception of the level of ambient poverty, malnutrition, and just general backwardness that existed in the US prior to WWII. These are people who remember the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl.

People feel less wealthy now than people in the 1950s/1960s did because the material conditions of you and the people around you is roughly on par, unlike the 50s/60s when a twenty minute drive out of town might return you to the 19th Century if not further back.

NEW: DOJ posted the exhibits involved in the Chicago protesters/press case, including Gregory Bovino's deposition. He is a real charmer (before they even got to the substance of the case)! Notice: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Bovino: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Whites have discovered Lauren Underwood again. Apparently she's amazing and they'll vote for her if she runs for president.

🚨 UPDATED: Trump's (temporarily?) aborted #ACA tax credit "proposal" includes even more poison pills than I thought: acasignups.net/25/11/25/tru...

Thank you for further helping me convince everyone how terrible the shitty Atlantic is. I barely ever think about you or post about you because you're a waste of characters and energy but you really outdid yourself on the journalistic sewage front here without me lifting a typing finger. Fuck off.

What do you suppose they mean by "those sort of people"?

No we don't. We need the media to fuck off and start telling the truth and stop acting like little fucking gossipy snot nose children. That includes you raggedy ass bitches.

My guilty pleasure is lawyers fighting. There was some really over the top bickering after a Department of Justice lawyer apparently called Locke Bowman a petulant old man and there was hullabaloo over his refusal to shake hands with Gregory Bovino.

ICE agent when told he's about to arrest a US citizen. Direct quote: "I DON'T CARE."

Lmao

Good morning. The full transcript of U.S. Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino's deposition has been released. Three volumes, 400+ pages. Volume 1: cst.brightspotcdn.com/30/6c/1349ab... Volume 2: cst.brightspotcdn.com/b7/fb/4afdf1... Volume 3: cst.brightspotcdn.com/a3/e0/a520af...

@wyden.senate.gov and @repespaillat.bsky.social leveraged their letterhead to get airlines to stop giving passenger flight data to the government. It worked. The airlines are shutting down the program. Ds are really good at doing things that are outright wins, and really bad at sharing them. 3/

These people are fucking nuts.

Billionaire Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, pardoned by Donald Trump, has been accused of facilitating millions of dollars’ worth of payments to Hamas in the wake of its attack on Israel on October 7 2023. Zhao also financed the Trump family's entrance into the cryptocurrency market.

One man -- Marco Rubio -- serves this country as both National Security Adviser and Secretary of State. And he was nowhere near the drafting of that Ukraine 'peace plan,' which was instead devised by the president's real-estate buddy and his son-in-law. 🎁 www.wsj.com/world/russia...

You absolutely need to change this headline. It's unacceptable and disrespectful to the people harmed by the pollution. This article itself makes it clear that the water pollution linked to cancer and miscarriages is coming entirely from nitrate pollution from farms.

You're letting the bad guy completely off the hook with this framing, and using these people's suffering to frame another unrelated org that had zero effect. I can't believe this was published.

The article itself has a lot of great coverage of people harmed by nitrate pollution from farms. This headline is like running a story on how a cigarette company caused cancer, but the headline only mentioning an unrelated bowling alley in the town, and implying the bowling alley caused the cancer

every single word of this is funny, but not for reasons which imply that Weiss has any skill at comedy

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

I hate that like the internet has nuked people's brains, I saw someone bitching about "why is the President ALWAYS! like 90!" Obama was in his 40s, so was Bill Clinton, W was 54, just in the last 10 years have Presidents been old (and people could have voted for the 59 year old)

“Mental health expert” letting off steam by engaging in online bulling.

UPDATE: Boasberg orders the parties to submit plans for the "inquiry regarding a potential contempt referral," by tomorrow, "including names of possible witnesses and dates for hearings." (ACLU's Lee Gelernt smartly suggested waiting on the mandate from the DC Circuit before issuing any orders.)

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.

I mean, come on, man. You're gonna tell me that the likes of Rick Wilson and Tom Nichols have our best interests at heart? Coño. Don't piss in my mouth and tell me it's Evian.

Time to block Michael Hobbes, he can fuck right off

It is absolutely delightful that part of the reason this indictment is being dismissed is because a 1986 DOJ OLC memo "authored by then-Deputy Assistant Attorney General Samuel Alito" insisted that this was the proper outcome and appointments like Halligan's were invalid.

I hope MAGA DOJ appeals, just so discovery into its misconduct can continue pending appeal.

UPDATE: Another judge just dinged DOJ in another trans care subpoena case, with Judge Joun finding that DOJ missed a deadline, and, accordingly, their motion to alter the judgment in the Boston Children's Hospital case was "untimely." And, because DOJ also appealed, Joun has no further jurisdiction.

I have long had an obscure, complex theory about Susan Collins that explains these things. Susan Collins is terrible and anyone who ever suggested she is a moderate is a liar or a rube. That's it. That's the whole thing.

Of all of the dumb things you could possibly do when you probably plan on giving the military illegal orders publicizing it like this is probably the top dumb thing you could do lol. Never fails! Lol.

The fact that some LLM (when used with proper training) helped a person's coding efficiency has nothing to do with the insane shit pushed by every AI CEO or the firehose of useless garbage being relentlessly marketed to the public 24-7. I don't understand why this is difficult to acknowledge.

It's incredible to me that he ever achieved a rank above staff sergeant. He hasn't got the temperament or skills for a commissioned officer.

The SECDEF confirming an investigation to the world and labeling an individual under investigation as being part of the “Seditious Six” is unlawful command influence.

Oh, I don’t disagree at all. I find them almost unwatchable now. It’s just, you know, as a writer myself, I view not having anything at all to say as the ultimate failing. Hell, The Room has a point of view. Birdemic has a point of view. Those things managed something the sequels didn’t.

Here’s my counter argument: the prequels are bad, worse by some measures maybe, but they’re ultimately better than the sequels because they’re FOR something. Lucas knew what story he was telling and stuck to it. The sequels are in the service of nothing.
