Each round trip would cost at least about $20,000—and that’s likely an underestimate, since operating costs have gone up in the fifteen years since the GAO estimate was made. www.thebulwark.com/p/kash-patel...

History has taught us that this is precisely when Donald Trump is most dangerous — and when Republicans turn to voter suppression, election subversion and worse. With the 2026 midterm elections less than a year away, Trump is already plotting his next moves. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

Why did Trump get in return? Money for his ballroom? A free plane?

Part of the story of the Trump administration is the effort to demolish state capacities. Some will be very hard to rebuild and that is the point (thread)

Meanwhile people are twisting themselves into pretzels decrying & revealing their bigotry just because a democratic socialist won a mandate in a city's mayoral election focusing on affordability. Meanwhile money for food is being denied by the president and his party for 40+ Million Americans

Start with the large technology ones.

Using a government jet to fly you to a girlfriends country music gig/wrestling match and then covering it up and rage tweeting about it on X is sort of a microcosm of Trumpism. thebulwark.com/p/kash-patel-fbi-director-private-jet-problem-nashville

Trump is gutting public service and turning the government into his personal loyalty cult. A new memo hands hiring power to political appointees so only the obedient get in.

Most of the Tesla shareholder proposals are like "Tesla is an incredible company, but maybe we should make sure we have some basic accountability or make sure we aren't exploiting child labor" and the board recommends against all of them

We’re up to 124 wins - including 35!!!! red to blue flips — and 9 more going to run offs. We still have 37 races left outstanding, but far and away the best election night @runforsomething.net has ever had.

Arrogance is part of what keeps the tech broligarchs ticking though they pretend otherwise. Often enough the mask slips & their true disdain for people unlike them shows up

Let’s hear more of the dangers of democratic socialism under Mamdani

So far the Golden Age just means the new interior of the White House.

I legit can’t figure out the play on these FAA flight cancellations. Who’s the White House trying to pressure. And who do they think people are gonna get mad at when Thanksgiving goes down the drain?

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

your hard-earned tax dollars are paying for a White House social media account that calls duty elected senators "demented losers." it's totally unacceptable and a disgrace.

🚨BREAKING: More than 200,000 Missourians have signed a petition supporting a referendum to block Republicans’ new gerrymandered congressional map. But GOP officials are working to thwart them at every turn. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

He’s saying taxpayers will step in and backstop their companies when the AI bubble bursts — as we have done so many times before. Privatized upside, socialized downside. The oligarchs play us for suckers.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

Typical corrupt Indian politician behavior where the law & rules don't apply to those in power but this guy is heading the FBI in the USA!!!

Today's *real* headline that @theonion.com wouldn't have even tried: Months After Slashing Aid To Developing Countries, Elon Musk Awarded $1 Trillion By Tesla.

“The hideous Trump ballroom can be the trigger for a full-scale effort to remove the stench of corruption that has flourished under Trump.” Democrats can and should raise the alarm.

We need our communal institutions to fight hate in all its forms wherever it comes from and not selective fear-inflation aimed at scoring political points or stoking communal panic.

It's alarming to see the ADL announce a "tracker" of antisemitism aimed at Mamdani and the Conference of Presidents issue an extraordinary set of statements while not applying equal scrutiny to Trump - despite his long record of using antisemitism and bigotry for political gain.

NEW: “To read it is to spend 48 pages understanding the depth of corruption in the Justice Department in the second Trump administration.” @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org and I break down DOJ’s response to James Comey’s vindictive prosecution motion. ⬇️ www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

‼️"Details in the files are reportedly even more damning for Donald Trump than previously indicated—and it was already bad."

Is this the Sharia law I was warned about?

Let them lose weight being the new let them eat cake was not something I foresaw

Should women have rights? We go through the pros and cons bsky.app/profile/jess...

accusing Zohran’s famous Hindu mother of advocating for Pakistan’s right to oppress all non-Muslims is some galaxy brain nonsense.

Now the challenge of getting DOJ/DHS to lay out the costs of first doing a SWAT style arrest, getting no-billed, then an expensive trial to acquit the sandwich guy. Plus the 52 lunches for grand jurors (tho the courthouse paid for that, while people work for free in shutdown).

The Supreme Court today questioned Trump's use of emergency powers to levy tariffs. Perhaps they're finally realizing what the rest of us already know. Other countries aren't paying for the tariffs. We are. https://youtu.be/AfVGUiet39E?si=d0zTlOiRdMCuv6ke

“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.” Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

Trump taking a victory lap because Walmart made their Thanksgiving meal smaller and crappier (and hence cheaper) is such a perfect encapsulation of his hucksterism

The dramatic repudiation of Trump this week wrecks a number of absurd narratives the media has pushed lately. In the runup to the election, NYT pieces kept telling us Dems were overly obsessed with attacking Trump. That dumb idea now lies in ruins. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2027...

Every single one of them is outing themselves. Let them. It is quite revealing

i closed out my column this week with this preemptive jab at basically every commentator currently looking for ways to say that last night didn’t count

Shut down flight of private jets from small airports but nah that will hurt the billionaires

We’ve now had more than 2,000 people sign up at runforwhat.net since Tuesday. We’re getting ready to run and win everywhere in 2026 & beyond.
