Alex Horton, one of the two Washington Post reporters who broke the story, has been a participant in more violent combat than Pete Hegseth by an order of magnitude. It's not a coincidence that he got the scoop.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.

They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing. This is who MAGA is now.

Jamie Dimon says JPM hasn't given to the ballroom because "anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful about how anything is perceived." Adds "And also how the next DOJ is going to deal with." thehill.com/business/559...

“Might” is doing heroic work here

Also recognize that this unambiguous use of the military to commit murder of helpless noncombatants as they fought for life is a direct reflection of the virulent white supremacy that has seized our government, where every Latino man is a gangbanger in a de facto state of war against White America

A transcript of the call appears to show Steve Witkoff coaching his Russian counterpart on how they could get a better deal to end the war in Ukraine n.pr/4incxdN

Guess this is going to turn into one of those posts that I have to repost every few months now as the United States government is fully rebuilding itself as a white power institution and setting the stage for mass ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Trump administration will reexamine green cards issued to people from 19 countries "of concern": Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.

Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.

"We followed everything we were supposed to do" Legitimate green card applicants with US spouses are being arrested by armed, masked men at scheduled immigration interviews, taken away from their children, sent to prison www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Horrible to see two National Guard troops shot in Wash DC by a man Trump granted asylum to. www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Evidence has now emerged of the adverse consequences of the laws banning GAHT for trans youth in both the US and UK. This includes sharp declines in mental health and increased suicide attempts among transgender young people. t.co/YZaiSgdDAl

The type of things that happen when a foolish reality TV actor appoints a petty, drunk talk show chatterbox to run our military:

"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

Sen. Mark Kelly on MS NOW: "I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane. I've been nearly shot down multiple times … My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head, six people killed around her … We know what political violence is.  And we know what causes it, too."

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with: -No casus belli -No authorization from Congress -No allies or international support -No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela -No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

genuinely: a russian nesting doll of bullshit that bad actors are using to cast aspersions on basically anything they want

I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.

Yes look at all the savings! Spending went up while services to Americans went away, and we abandoned our allies overseas and let children die of disease and famine.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the new demented definition of human rights violations. Abortion and DEI policies are now human rights violations. A ball of cells matters more than an entire human. Women’s lives do not matter. #Pinks www.forbes.com/sites/maryro...

Future nurses now get capped at $57,500 in federal loans, while lawyers and doctors keep their $200,000+ limit. “This is straight from Project 2025 playbook: defund female-dominated professions, crush middle class + make it hard for working-class heroes to become nurses who save YOUR life 1 day.”

The GOP cuts to Medicaid have cut rural Granite Staters off from basic health services. Nasty, nasty business. #NHPoli #NHPol www.wmur.com/article/rura...

Do me a favor, in memory of the great Jimmy Cliff (RIP). Next time you need your mood lifted—and who doesn't these days? —just listen to this song. Pure, unadulterated joy

The US government under Trump is an epic money laundering scheme. They’re robbing the taxpayers blind for crap nobody asked for!

This would be appalling in any context and for any victim, but the fact that they're invading a commercial kitchen to drag someone off who came here to work their ass over a hot stove to make native-born restaurant-goers a little more comfortable and well off really shows how negative sum this is

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Boston's Mayor Wu playing with Yo-Yo Ma at Symphony Hall

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff. There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

Here's their column calling for him to resign or be prevented from teaching (they should go ahead, take the credit) www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

“I want their morale as low as possible because a team with low morale is ineffective.” Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter

The U.S. government is now inarguably spreading medical disinformation that is going to kill babies preferentially. Period. This is an INTOLERABLE. UNPRECEDENTED. DANGEROUS. ATTACK. ON ALL OF US.

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

#IsThisFreedom ?! 🥵😱

“The JAG at Southern Command specifically expressed concern that strikes against people on boats in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean…could amount to extrajudicial killings, the six sources said, and therefore legally expose service members involved in the operations.”

Oh but isn’t AI going to fix everything?! Who needs copy editors? 🤯

Trump & Vance's Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, met with disgraced spy Jonathan Pollard who spied on the United States. This is disgraceful. Indefensible. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/w...

Curtis Yarvin is Peter Thiel's spiritual advisor and highest guru. Here he is speaking in Oxford, expressing his admiration for Crown Prince Bone Saw for murdering a Washington Post columnist and locking up dozens of prominent Saudis in the Ritz hotel, as he shook them down for cash, mob style.

The people who want you to think trans women are dangerous sure do love to bail out actually sex traffickers and predators.

Student journalists FTW all day, every day www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

I think the Crimson also broke the story that probably led to his downfall?

I kinda like reading this in Harvard’s student paper considering that the last public pronouncement Summers made before his shit hit the fan was a bullying threat to round up alumni to “investigate” The Crimson for its “moral bankruptcy” on supporting Palestine. Who’s being investigated now, Larry?!
