I think it most likely the Dim Philby leaks came from Russia. But if they came from Europe it’s a clever way to tell the US that Europe has started going it alone on intel. Keep in mind one of most important points of leverage is intel sharing. www.emptywheel.net/2025/11/26/t...

Called it.

thanksgiving spread!

Grateful for time with these two. Happy Thanksgiving, Michigan, from our family to yours!

Indigenous actress Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

MAJOR: The Trump Administration has been caught lying about the D.C. shooting suspect. The truth: He was vetted by Trump. He had a CIA badge, worked with the CIA in Afghanistan, and granted asylum by Trump in April. Spread this everywhere. Subscribe to support my work, even on Thanksgiving:

Personally, I think it's a bad thing when people in the government post AI images without disclosing that they're AI. Image on the left is something RFK Jr. posted today. Image on the right is a photo from 2024.

"We cannot negotiate with people who say 'what's mine is mine and what's yours is negotiable'." John F. Kennedy 25 July 1961 re: The Berlin Crisis

Rumor is even GOP House members are sick of being treated like potted plants, with many more threatening early departure.

Per The Atlantic, An Indiana Republican isn’t running for re-election because “I’d rather my house not get firebombed” - because Trump is mad he opposed his seat-stealing redistricting plan there. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Do not punish all Afghan people for the deranged actions of one individual.

REUTERS: “Trump blamed Biden-era vetting failures for the admission of an Afghan immigrant suspected of shooting two National Guard members — but the alleged gunman was granted asylum this year under Trump…” www.yahoo.com/news/article...

😕

I don’t get why Trump’s raging at the New York Times or why he called that reporter ugly. Honestly, they went easy on him, skipping the part where the anger fits the dementia pattern. Signs of dementia: memory problems, confusion, trouble following conversations, sudden anger, personality shifts.

I was right

How many Americans will die or suffer because RFK Jr. has killed mRNA research and has used the federal government to wage his war on vaccines?

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

I guess it’s a good thing we were so concerned about the right to speak our opinions being outlawed by a ruling class that we guaranteed it by making it the very first amendment in our Bill of Rights when we formed the country.

Kash Patel humiliated with another law enforcement error following Washington DC National Guard shootings

$937,989.39: That's the amount of the penalty owed by Trump and Alina Habba, according to a new appeals court decision, which upheld a 2023 ruling that Trump and Habba committed "sanctionable conduct" by filing a "frivolous" lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and James Comey.

Not great, dismal.

ok it is time for me to hibernate for the season i am thankful for all of u keeping me company here on the blue sky during this year be well

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.

Had my hair done today. I’ve been going to the same small-town stylist for a decade. Want to know the topic of conversation in the ENTIRE salon? Insurance premiums. Every one of us has been impacted.

15 years ago today, Willie Nelson was arrested in Texas for 6 oz of Cannabis. God, who produces it naturally across the globe, remains at large.

This incredibly irresponsible alcoholic idiot is calling for 500 additional troops in Washington. Because that won't incite more violence. Everything about this silly "Secretary of War" is about saber rattling and pretending he is so strong. He really must have been picked on in school.

You can't park there, sir.

this is an insane response for basically any shooter profile and motivation

This is a really big story that should not be missed. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Two National Guard members were shot Wednesday near the White House and are in critical condition, according to a law enforcement official not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and who spoke to AP on condition of anonymity. A suspect who was in custody. Trump is golfing in Florida...

The suspect in Wednesday's Washington, D.C., shooting of two National Guardsmen is 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal. How long before the Right blame this on Biden for allowing Afghans in the country? Ummm 🤔

The suspect is believed to be from Afghanistan and came to the U.S. in 2021 under the Biden administration. He applied for asylum in 2024 and was granted asylum in April 2025, under the Trump administration. His last known location was in Bellingham, Washington. Crap! He lived in my state.

Folks, two things can true at the same time. These 2 National Guard members should not have been shot, and it's a disgusting act of violence. And, Trump + Miller have deliberately deployed them to incite division { violence. That's part of Miller's plan. They have no reason to be in our cities.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Let me use MAGA logic & agree with them for a thought experiment. The National Guard shooter is an Afghan national, so we must deport all Afghans & Muslims & stop immigration. OK. Trump's failed assassins were 2 white men. White men are the #1 domestic shooters in America. So, deport all whites?

Notice how nobody in the Trump regime ever asks, “But how will we pay for it?” when it comes to priorities that benefit them? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Dxgx5q0QLcI

Maybe Hegseth and Trump could also send 500 National Guard members to Kentucky, to help administer pertussis vaccines. Since saving lives is their thing. www.wlwt.com/article/kent...

Oh look. The right is calling for civil war again. Over a crime that everyone thinks is fucking abhorrent.

They always blame democrats no matter what, and they get away with it

This country has given my family and me extraordinary opportunities. Practicing law is a privilege. Being able to communicate with you is an honor. I owe it to the country, the rule of law and all of you to do my part in the fight for democracy. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

I remember when we used to hold a president in a position of honor. Not a king but reverence, respect. This guy is a clown, a joke, and a disgrace

DAN RATHER: “most world leaders are laughing at the idea that 🇺🇸 is a reliable partner. The one-sided attempt to end the Russia-Ukraine war is an example of an administration that has lost its way and its reputation around the world.” open.substack.com/pub/steady/p...

Did Pulte need a warrant to get all those mortgage documents?

Trump manufactured a crime wave, deployed the National Guard, two got shot, and it’s somehow Biden’s fault.

By his own standards and his insistence on scapegoating and blaming, Trump should either explain why he and his administration granted Asylum to the DC shooter suspect SEVEN MONTHS AGO, fire Noem and Homan and apologize - or Trump should resign
