the 2024 election was not stolen. people just voted for the fascist. no reputable analyst thinks Harris really won; his victory was completely in line with polls. I keep seeing people spreading this stuff. please don't do that. lies and conspiracies help fascists.

Russia failed to conquer Ukraine. So Trump is handing Putin what he couldn’t win on the battlefield. Territory. Limits on Ukraine’s military. And $300B in assets. Shameful. Dangerous. Unacceptable. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Rubio looks over, sees him sleeping, and says, "Mr. President !..." to wake him up. And Trump does the slow nod, just to act awake and allow himself to keep sleeping.

It's nice to see NYT bringing facts and leaving out the spin.

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Truman: “The buck stops here.” Trump & Hegseth: “What buck? I never heard of any buck. It’s all fake news. And you’re a stupid reporter.”

Hot off the keyboard and gifted: Hegseth has to go. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

The Luigi Murder Guy thing really shakes my moral foundations. There are a lot of people who seem OK with murder if the victim is associated with an unpopular business and the murderer is sufficiently attractive.

Dear Senator Cassidy, “We” didn’t. WE didn’t pardon anyone. HE did. The President of the United States pardoned him. Come on Bill, say his name. Who’s our president? Say his name. Best, Your Former Congressional Colleague

Second Amendment freaks spent decades fantasizing about rebellion against an overbearing, tyrannical federal government. Now we have such a government and the freaks are joining it. Gun rights are always about dominance.

It is a holiday that, in it's best interpretation, is about generously sharing with and celebrating "invaders."

Hegseth is vulnerable here, and so is the regime more broadly and they know it. The response, specifically to Kelly last week, makes a lot of sense in the context of “this info is coming out, the military is comprised folks that admire Kelly more than they respect Hegseth.”

These are the illegal orders Mark Kelly and the rest were talking about. This fucking animalistic bunch of goons and charlatans should never be obeyed.

Only 6% undecided. That's more important than the other numbers.

Based on ICE policy and recent Trump "truths" I believe you are a "dangerous person" if you look like a dangerous person or if someone from your nation or religion has proven to be a dangerous person.

I predict that by Summer 2026 Trump will announce his annointed successor. It may be JD Vance but that's not important. What matters is that it will signal that Trump will remain influential and able to crush opposition. This is to mitigate the lame duck status that is starting to erode his power. +

This has to be said. Why? Because we are numb to it and we need to be reminded.

This is so deeply at odds with the vision and history of America. Take pretty much any ethnic or racial group that are part of the American mosaic America today - they have all faced the same accusation. The moment these accusations are turned into policy are some of the most shameful in US history

Strong words but it needs to be said.

Corporate Media is going to pretend that Trump is heartbroken about the two West Virginian National Guardsmen being shot in DC, but the entire point of moving a standing army into a peaceful city was to induce violence by The People to justify more violence by Trump on The People in retaliation.

This is a "touristy" part of DC. It is wildly unusual for any civilian to be armed in DC, particularly in that location. It suggests it was premeditated. But I'll wait for facts.

It'll likely be a while before we know what happened. But I'm sure the President and/or Vice President will make a premature announcement speculating on what happened and what they are going to do in response.

We all believe in improving efficiency, and a team genuinely focused on that could do a world of good. But the DOGE we could have had is a far cry from the DOGE we actually got.

When this is over I want trials. Consequences. I don't want to "move on", I want the whole world to stop while we have trials. I want their names taught to my grandchildren in their history class. Traitors.

Trump, a month into his first term: “I’m good at branding.” Reality, nearly nine years later:

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Keep talking and smiling, Hassett. Real humans who go to the grocery store know the difference between generic and branded goods.

Putin has the #EpsteinFiles. Pass it on.

I'm going to say that this is a better cross section than the random population in the US.

Crude oil is down 19.2% from last year. A gallon of retail gasoline? Down 2 cents. ⛽️

It really is bizarro world. We have the FBI and the Secretary of Defense, on orders from the President, threatening legal action against US Congress persons for telling our troops that they do not have to obey illegal orders. And the sheep at Fox News are completely on board with it.

Folks, AI and Crypto are going to blow up, and we're going to bail them out. It'll be disastrous. We need to promote Dems who take on the broligarchy. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/b...

Fox News is reporting that Ukraine agreed to Trump/Putin's peace plan. www.foxnews.com/world/russia...

For Putin, the so-called peace plan is a win-win: A deal would enshrine Ukraine's perpetual subordination and vulnerability. No deal might lead Trump to pull remaining US support for Ukraine and antagonize Europe. @paulsonne.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/w...

Imagine the depth of insecurity it takes for a guy like Hegseth to feel the need to take a swipe at Kelly's hard-earned medals. Every day they tell us who they are, yet so many remain in fear or blinded by base emotions.

Page One, WAPO: The going rate for a Trump pardon? About $1 million. @washingtonpost.com

I'm blushing. Reposted by Morgan Fairchild!?!?

Losers keep on losing.

This Thanksgiving, few are as thankful as Ghislaine Maxwell who, with her strategic release of the Epstein birthday card, has blackmailed the President into luxury prison digs, a puppy and an eventual pardon.

The Trump administration inherited an economy that the Economist called "the envy of the world" in a cover story a week before the election and easily could've coasted on that success (again) but instead they set it on fire.

To be clear, she is saying that the troops are not qualified to determine if an order is legal and they should just do as they are told. Well, at least now we have identified the issue and we can discuss whether and how the Republicans propose to change the law here. Constitutional amendment?

I am hearing about an absolute torrent, and overwhelming tide of big and small graft taking place at every level of federal government. The federal government has always been a gatekeeper to business objectives, providing licenses, permits and approvals for a huge range of activities. In the past ++

Am I the only person thoroughly unsurprised that so many right-wing ragebait accounts are run from abroad? The same thing happened on Facebook when they introduced page transparency. The big question is whether it will change behavior. My prediction is it won't. 1/3

Well, if anyone knows a thing or two about hostile, foreign interests, it’s definitely #PutinsPuppet

Sums it up.

If you plan to follow this advice, please see me after class

Comical.

So, if BlueSky lets us see account locations, what subsect of BlueSky do we think will turn out to be foreign instigators? I say it's be the folks that think the 2024 election was "rigged" for Trump. PS: Until BlueSky starts paying for traffic, foreign/fake accounts will not be significant.
