“.. in a group Signal chat, .. he wrote in part: ‘I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.’” @reuters.com #Chicago www.reuters.com/world/us/bor...

Defense says that the officer's testimony was "very questionable" because he said the sandwich both exploded in spray of mustard and onions and also landed in its wrapper on the ground.

"The Republican Party has created an entirely avoidable mess for itself. By taking a resolute stand in favor of making healthcare unobtainable for many Americans, and now threatening to starve children to achieve that perverse goal, they have made performative cruelty their political calling card."

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter. He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.

Jeffries: "The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program. That's the reason they refuse to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva."

Reverend David Black has a Bible open and is preaching to the police now, inviting them to join him in standing with the persecuted inside the detention center. "Which side do you think Jesus wanted his followers to be on?"

Probably a good day to reup this, from September. archive.is/QadNL

lmao david byrne showed the video of the ice agents tripping over themselves while trying to run after a biker on wacker drive during the “life during wartime” segment of his chicago show tonight

Sen. Slotkin: “The president and Secretary Hegseth are refusing to tell the American people who we are fighting…I think it's safe to say that the American people deserve to know who we are at war with, especially if people are being killed in our name.”

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Exactly what to do if the FBI comes to your door asking questions and attempting to harass you about a post. I don’t wanna hear shit until I see full identification on camera. And he called them fuck heads and cowards to their faces because he did nothing illegal. 😂 😆

@vegastenold.bsky.social corrects the record.... "I just want to say that everything I may have allegedly called Trump in the past — aspiring dictator, shady conman, shameless racist—was, of course, written by enemies of the people who hacked my accounts." weareallgood.substack.com/p/definitely...

wow, which common vaccine was it?

There is no journalistic task more imperative than getting eyes inside this process. The kind of thing historians wait for archives of dictatorships to open, when figuring out how the REAL nightmare begin. newrepublic.com/post/202199/...

I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime. While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/video-fbi-...

Happy birthday to the greatest @alyankovic.bsky.social!

high school students I was talking to a high school teacher this week who was like “do you know how ridiculous it is—for everybody—that I have to walk 17-year-olds to the bus?”

Yeah, there's a lot of this on SlopTok. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

QUESTION: have any of the statue-defenders spoken up anywhere about how destroying part of the White House is erasing history?

Extremely funny that INFOWARS has agreed not to publish anything without the explicit consent of the US government

Bad news for workers at the companies trying to develop geothermal and lithium on the Salton Sea: A new study found that inhaling dust from the inland California lake changes lung microbiomes and harms immune response in ways that may be irreversible. The more the lake dries, the most toxic dust.

"AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat" is something from a Final Destination pre-production brainstorming session www.dexerto.com/entertainmen...

Anyone else feel like there's an increase in politicians presenting themselves as Democrats during elections, but acting like Republicans, and some cases literally *becoming* Republicans, when they win? Dallas' own mayor did that. nypost.com/2024/11/23/u...

Everyone who worked on a video game needs to be in the credits: aftermath.site/video-game-cre...

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

DOJ declined to bring charges against two people who threatened to kill @ericswalwell.bsky.social this year, @nbcnews.com reports: www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

This is the asymmetry in our politics and media. If this was the other way around, Biden had pardoned someone then charged with trying to kill Trump, it would be the biggest story in America and every Republican commentator, congressman, news outlet, would be screaming about it in unison.

COLLINS: The NYT is reporting your legal team is seeking $230 million from your own DOJ now in response to the investigations into you. Is that something you want? TRUMP: It could be, yeah. I don't even talk to them about it. All I know is they would owe me a lot of money. They rigged the election.

That’s called burying the lead

Oh man, the New York Young Republicans implicated in the Nazi groupchat scandal ran up a $23,000 tab eating filet mignon and drinking at a hotel in Syracuse -- a city with one of the highest child poverty rates *in the nation* -- and then refused to pay the bill.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

According to Wikipedia, today is the 20th anniversary of The 1UP Show. I choose to believe this is true. I miss this work. More, I miss my old coworkers. Still the best and most fun job I ever had. I’ll let Jane and Eric’s killer tune race through my mind today.

Lecturing active soldiers about being too fat while dropping standards so low for the ICE deportation force that a third of their recruits can't handle the easiest PT test I've ever heard of www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

They want immunity to be cruel

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

DOJ whistleblower Erez Reuveni says Emil Bove told him, 'those planes need to take off no matter what, and if some court should issue an order preventing that, we may have to consider telling that court 'fuck you.' Reuveni: It is the highest, most egregious violation of the lawyer's code of ethics.

“the president is less popular than the Vietnam war” should be a simply irresistible headline

UPDATE: COLOMBIA’s President says 🇺🇸 government (Trump) “committed murder” and bombed a fisherman with no ties to drugs “The boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure”

“All my friends murdered and raped, sometimes they hung out at my house. Get over yourself.”

So the president of the United States plans to meet with Putin in Hungary, and when a reporter asked where that plan came from, this was the reply of the United States government www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

I talked NSPM-7 with @nathanjrobinson.bsky.social www.currentaffairs.org/news/trumps-...
