The Wall Street Journal says this investigation led Instacart’s stock price to fall.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control. All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

WOW. So this is obviously a huge violation of this man's rights, and it illustrates a few things we're seeing broadly: - DHS officers are ignoring peoples' IDs and instead requiring screening through their own systems - Confirms @404media.co's reports of use of DHS's facial recognition app.

NEW: Sen Bennet (D-CO) endorses mid-decade redistricting effort to create new Dem seats in Colorado to counteract GOP gerrymandering elsewhere. Bennet's rival for the 2026 Gov nomination, AG Phil Weiser, came out in favor weeks ago.

I had to have an emergency appendectomy this year. It cost like $200,000. It only cost me about two grand out of fucking pocket. Y’all high as fuck if y’all think I’m doing all this shit.

anyone who remembers the ACA wars will find all of this so familiar that it risk inducing vertigo, but what i keep thinking about is how much they've succeeded in mitigating the damage of this kind of rhetoric by flooding the zone with racism (shit) in the years since obama was president.

This.

James Talarico: My family’s from South Texas. Voters there feel betrayed by both parties, and many voted for Trump last year. Now everything is more expensive and corruption is the worst it's been. It is incumbent upon us persuade these voters to join us to stop the extremism and corruption

These are not numbers that point in the direction of Fetterman getting re-elected as a Dem, Republican, OR independent, particularly in a presidential election year.

AI systems are making decisions about who gets a loan, receives a job offer, is eligible for parole, and more — and often in ways that have a disparate impact on protected groups. To ensure safety, trustworthiness, and non-discrimination, Congress must pass the AI Civil Rights Act.

FFS. NBC Nightly news has a segment of Bari Weiss Interviewing a very overperformative Erika Kirk. Isn't she lucky she gets a GoFundMe right on NBC "News". The coaching that is going on with this woman is truly surreal. So is Bari Weiss. And neither move me.

Trump entering lame duck season. Their fear of him lessons slightly by the day.

No. What the fuck.

I asked Rep. Jasmine Crockett @jasmineforus.bsky.social about Speaker Mike Johnson saying he's "absolutely delighted" she's running for Senate, and comparing her to NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. She hadn't seen the clip. Here's her response.

People on here applauded her.

The measles outbreak in South Carolina is “accelerating” with no end in sight following Thanksgiving and other large gatherings, state health officials said Wednesday. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

POS

Adams is a POS but I won’t fight about the ghosts or haints thing. The leprechaun thing is way easier to mock.

You all loved Jasmine when she was attacking Trump, but now you don’t love her because you think she’s getting above her station. How dare she try to take the spot from that white man. And y’all still want to act like y’all all voted for Kamala.

Great graphic and analysis!

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

We're all trying to find the guy who did this

Wow.

Sanders: Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans. Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills. OFC, who’s going to process all the border crossing data?

Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care

So they *are* able to stop a ship in international waters and seize control of it without killing everyone on board? Huh.

What is hilarious with this is journalists flocked to claim that Americans were not able to afford anything (let's not forget that milk price segment) constantly to the point that we all thought we were doing terribly under Biden/Harris. And then you see how bad we really are and we get this BS.

This to me is what is missing. Cause what the fuck. I will say the Democrats on TikTok (the account) is super popular and killing it. Maybe we just don't see this shit here.

I know this isn't even comparing apples to oranges, more like apples to bicycles, but I'll do it anyway.... A 21% flip rate in the midterms would translate to 46 flips in the House and 4 or 5 flips in the Senate, yielding a 261D-174R House and a Senate that's 51D-49R or 52D-48R.

NEW, from me: One startling stat captures just how badly the year went for the GOP. Democrats flipped 21% of all GOP-held legislative seats at play. That's thanks to gains they made in six states this year, and I break it all down in my latest:

Abraham Lincoln's Aug 1855 letter to his friend Joshua Speed is famous - mostly, for his pointed comments about the dissolution of the 2d party system and the hypocrisy of pro-slavery and anti-immigrant sentiment in the US. But it's worth reading for another reason his well...

He just met with them. I feel like every fucking day they are at the WH. And again, the donor complaints on Biden/Harris was he wasn't taking meetings or calls from these rich fucks.

“He says the racist things all racist people understand.”

A huge night for Democrats: —They flip Miami's mayorship. —They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%. —They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council. —And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

Pete Hegseth wanted to send two survivors of a boat strike to a notorious prison in El Salvador, but the State Department said no, so they sent them home How can you say that survivors of a boat strike had to be shot and killed in the water when survivors of another boat strike got to go home?

Then let me be specific: by "feeding USAID into the wood chipper" Musk has killed approximately the same number of people as Belzec extermination camp

What's so funny about this is that where Trump's speaking—Monroe County, PA—has turned blue the past few cycles because of an influx of Black and Brown residents (now ~40%), many who left the NYC area for a better life. You go to the supermarkets, you see Jamaican beef patties in the freezer aisle.

Stowe Mountain Rescue in Vermont has noticed a troubling trend among skiers. Influenced by social media, inexperienced skiers are venturing out of bounds, getting lost and needing rescue.

This is a white supremacist rally. Anyone who attends something like this or still supports the leader of this movement should be unwelcome in your home and shunned from civil society. Period. We’re way past the point where this crap should be tolerated from anyone. Cast them out.

the first and only impeachment proceeding against a supreme court justice was over excessive partisanship fyi

Democrats—if they take back the House—already needed to launch an investigation into Bove’s egregious criminal conduct on Trump’s behalf before his confirmation to the 3rd Circuit. But they should also look into his brazen partisanship, which obviously violates the judicial Code of Conduct.

Again, Judge Emil Bove of the Third Circuit is attending this wholly apolitical speech.

Trump: "Prices are coming down. It's a hoax."
