I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

With respect to Vance’s comments today on the killing of Renee Good: “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

Get ready for Phase Two: a raid on Oslo to seize the Peace Prize.

Elon’s white knight “cyber” simp Mike Benz/Frame Game tries to defend Russia, is loudly and stupidly wrong. A play in 3 acts.

@razomforukraine.org provides deeply needed relief to Ukrainians harmed by Russia’s savage attacks. Great to join Razom and my Helsinki Co-Chair Rep Joe Wilson to celebrate Ukraine’s resilience through a challenging year. It’s time we pass REPO 2.0 and help lead Ukraine to victory.

What’s Twitter? Do you mean Elon Musk’s X dot com, the Everything App? The social media platform run by the nazi Elon Musk?

Stuff with the US and Venezuela is bad and likely to get worse, but this seized tanker is reportedly owned by a Russian oligarch, and was sanctioned by the US Treasury in 2022 due to suspected involvement in illegal oil smuggling with Iran. Plus breaking maritime law re: flags. Not piracy. Not war.

We have built endless machines to stimulate us at all times and evoke a neverending torrent of strong feelings, and nothing is so stimulating, so evocative, as cheap nostalgia paired with the assurance that you’re right to feel everything good has been taken from you, you’ve been wronged by history

I maintain that if Democrats could learn to talk with one-half of the plain spoken moral sense of Republicans who have turned on Trump, like this Indiana Republican who refuses to redistrict on the president’s command, they’d win 400 electoral votes dailyjournal.net/2025/11/26/s...

One thing I have no patience for is "there is nothing to be thankful for" doomerism. If Americans were finding things to be thankful for in 1863, two and a half years into a bloody Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln formalized the Thanksgiving holiday, then I can find things to be thankful for too.

In October, French President Emmanuel Macron's approval rating dropped to just 19 percent. @atabatabai.bsky.social explains what has led to Macron's political troubles at home and how it has impacted his attempts to flex his country’s diplomatic muscle on the international stage.

every generation loves Rumours. it’s fucking Rumours

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

Me doing this quiz:

Yeah, this is full-hog Radio Rwanda / Der Sturmer tier stuff. Gives you an idea of whom they're going to end up hiring.

SNAP is probably the most effective federal dollar we spend in terms of long term domestic economic outcomes. that isn’t why you should support it; you should support it because it is a moral imperative to feed the hungry. but it’s why even a growth-oriented ghoul shouldn’t oppose it.

Democrats need to find a leader named John American.

I don't think he's a Nazi. I think he thought it was funny and didn't want to cover it up because it reminded him of his Marine days. I think he's mad that he's had to explain himself now. And I think he has known what it was for a long, long time.

As long as the biographers were all of age, I'm thinking we can let this much pass.

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

“Maine is becoming unaffordable for thousands of us. Why? Because we have a government by, of, and for billionaires, building a ‘billionaire economy’ that none of us can afford. I'm not just running against Susan Collins: I'm running against the billionaire class that owns her and owns Washington.”

Former hostage Omri Miran has been released from the hospital and is finally heading home! After two long years, he’ll be at his Shabbat table tonight, surrounded by his wife and daughters.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

As families of hostages wait for their loved ones to return home, WCK teams are preparing to serve meals at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv. Once the hostages are released, we’re ready to support them and their families with comforting meals as they reunite after two years. #ChefsForThePeople

Omri Miran counted each day that passed in his head, perfectly keeping track of how many days he was held, how many places he was moved to, and what the date was. The mental fortitude of Omri under such horrifying circumstances is unimaginable. He is a hero.

It’s deeply encouraging to see footage of hostages reuniting with their families and to see Israeli forces withdrawing from Gaza. There are obviously many more steps to achieving a lasting peace but today’s developments should give us all a profound sense of hope.

Some people on here hear “Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism” and conclude, “All antisemitism is actually anti-Zionism.”

I broadly agree, but also think this is too generous to the leftists sharing the meme in question. They aren’t resharing a Nazi meme about Jews stealing food cultures because they’re being tricked; they’re sharing because a segment of the left agrees Jews are parasites without culture of their own.

this man's name is written in the book of life

it was obvious from the moment the attack happened that this was not only a tragedy for Israel but was going to become a tragedy for Palestine, and I still remember who was cheering it on.

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack. As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all. Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

some people told dave chappelle his jokes weren’t funny and this ego maniac has been having a meltdown over it for ten years

There’s a Soviet anecdote about this

"In my country, it’s bad right now, very bad. But there is nothing worse than this. This place is hell on earth and we need to get out." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Military service is about courage and sacrifice. That’s what my father, a Marine, and my mother, a Navy veteran, taught me. But awarding medals for the massacre at Wounded Knee is cruelty, not honor. And reaffirming them today only deepens the injustice. (1/2🧵)

Holy fuck. One gets inured to insanely brutal ice videos. But this one stands out. He just throws this woman into the wall basically

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water. These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested. They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

"Mamdani isn’t a Communist. He’s a democratic socialist. He wants rent control, free childcare, and tax hikes on the rich. These ideas, whatever their merits, are familiar in democracies." Trump's policies? Less so. www.thebulwark.com/p/no-zohran-...
