I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

Look at broader measures of unemployment—including people who want a job but aren't in the labor force or who are working part-time but want a full-time job—and the labor market is in the worst place since the pandemic

Death toll is, per US provided stats, now at 95 if I have it correct. With zero authorization from Congress. With zero evidence presented. 23 strikes.

The president is using this apparent family tragedy, which as far as we know had absolutely nothing to do with him, to convey the message that if his fans brutally murder his critics, they will receive his support and approval.

it’s interesting to see so many MAGA folks acting shocked at Trump’s statement, which is basically the same as every Trump statement I’ve ever seen

🚨 BREAKING: Oversight Dems received 95,000 new photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. These disturbing images raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. Time to end this White House cover-up. Release the files!

BREAKING: Indiana Senate Republicans reject new congressional maps in defiance of President Trump’s redistricting push.

Pivot to focusing on the affordability crisis going well

This marry me salmon oooooh it’s great

this ad did work on me though

he’s trying pretty hard to lay the groundwork for that kind of growth, I’ll grant him that

i feel like we have this dynamic where conservative constitutional “scholars” just like lie about the plain textual meaning of the reconstruction amendments while liberal scholars are doing the john ganz scrapbook tweet in response

Weird how the administration who loves to release snuff videos is holding back on this one.

HBO Max By Netflix ™️ is crazy

I mean, this is an execution

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Himes: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service ... any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

Don’t remember anyone saying this the last time we had inflation. Hm!

mini fall/winter cut lets go

Mashed potatoes are missing appropriate amount of cream/milk and butter, green beans are bland, bread is sad, not sure if the brown stuff is dressing, and that is a tin foil tray of barely cooked plain macaroni noodles

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Happy thanksgiving Bluesky fam!

Do I understand correctly that there is now a dispute within the administration about whether this "peace plan" was written by Russians or Americans?

Sometimes I just want to grab certain elected Democrats and shake them silly while yelling "Norms aren't norms if you don't enforce them!" Also "Norms aren't norms if you're the only one following them!"

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends. We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over. We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

I won best dish at the Friendsgiving and it was very very good

Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist? MAMDANI: I've spoken about-- TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

Trump on Mamdani: "I think he's gonna surprise some conservative people, actually. And some very liberal people he won't surprise because they already like him."

Zohran is literally so likable he has Trump kind of fawning over him, incredible

I’m excited for everyone to see the layered pecan pie with brown sugar custard, whipped cream, and candied nuts I’m making :)

we have PrEP because of these monkey studies. animal welfare in medical research is extremely strictly limited and regulated to ensure ethical use. there is no replacement for these animal models in biomedical research.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump signs bill to release files on Jeffrey Epstein, bowing to political pressure after months of resistance.

FINALLY done with this weekend project let’s see what this garden turns into!!

I just know Molly baz will launch Kimchi Mayo at some point and it’ll be so good

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

*Government will reopen *ACA subsidies NOT extended, causing premiums to rocket for 24M+ *A bunch of Republican senators could net millions in taxpayer dollars for themselves, with at least one hoping to net more than $1M. *Intoxicating hemp banned *Govt could shut again 1/31

This is the biggest political scandal in modern presidential history. No question about it. A sitting president covering-up his deep relationship with a convicted pedophile—who claims he actively participated in his crimes.

Jeffrey Epstein in 2018: "i know how dirty donald is."

I just googled this man like 'ew who tf is this Tom Barrack guy' and the answer is the sitting, Donald Trump-appointed U.S. Ambassador to Turkey

its 9 am and so far today we have learned that jeffrey epstein was advised to blackmail donald trump who spent lots of alone time with children at epsteins house

Breaking news: House Democrats release Epstein emails alleging President Trump knew of activities, including one claiming the president had “spent hours” at Epstein’s house with one of his sex trafficking victims.

"...Mr. Epstein flatly asserted that Mr. Trump 'knew about the girls,' many of whom were later found by investigators to have been underage. In another, Mr. Epstein pondered how to address questions from the news media about their relationship as Mr. Trump was becoming a national political figure."
