Quick note about this again; the 100 mile zone has nothing to do with Border Patrol’s ability to operate. They can operate anywhere in the country. The 100 mile zone is ONLY about where they have heightened stop and search powers. It’s not a jurisdictional thing.

it's true and they should say it but it's a real bad sign it's winding up in print

Another headline could be "In contrast to Republicans, Democrats are horny for adults"

me yesterday: look, Chuck Schumer is an incompetent dipshit, but somehow he’s played the shutdown semi-functionally because his opponents are even stupider today: you fool, you idiot, Chuck Schumer has only appeared vaguely competent because his caucus actively revolted should have known better

‘Frankenstein’ (2025), here we gooooo

They do not have a plan, they’ve never had a plan. They’ve also never had the votes to repeal the ACA which is *OVERWHELMINGLY* popular, nor have they been able to get the Supreme Court to overturn it, so instead they’ve just shut down the entire government to try forcing Dems to stop funding it.

When there is no ballistic evidence, no damage from gunfire, no injuries, & DHS isn’t providing video evidence of the claim from their agents that someone fired shots, then I am going to call bullshit based on the 2 months of fabricated stories by federal officials that have been debunked by videos.

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine. We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

A frozen-food company should hire Trump to film a new series of ads. He wouldn’t even need any additional makeup.

The WSJ on how unbelievably stupid Noem and Lewandowski are. I don’t care that I’m late to this; it’s to good to pass up. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Christ, I hopes so.

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

Also this hand-wringing claiming that he "changed" post election is weird. Did they not watch any of his campaign?

Absolutely sadistic. A Dem Congress should pass a law banning anyone who is currently serving with ICE or CBP from future Fed employment. The Feds should condition all future Fed grants to police depts on blanket refusals to hire ppl who were in ICE/CBP right now.

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them. There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

go folksy go brokesy

Yes, it “raised legal questions” such as, “Would a judge rule against these dipshits in five minutes flat, or would it take a whole ten minutes?”

sometimes an Oxford comma can make all the difference

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

The feds raided an East Chicago home, arrested a mother and her 26-year-old schizophrenic daughter. She's been here since she's 2. In ICE custody, she had no meds and chose to leave the country. Now she's in Mexico, barely speaks Spanish, and her family can't find her.

Families Rally After Feds Take Chicago Daycare Teacher: 'We Are Filled With Rage' blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/06/f... — Hundreds of neighbors gathered Wed to demand that fed immigration agents stay out of Chicago schools & daycares after agents took a daycare teacher from a facility.

I totally forgot this. I guess I wrote it off as an obvious lie and just didn't bother with it lmao.

ladies and gentlemen, Bill Kristol is now arguing for a massive wealth redistribution because he sees the current capitalist system as heading toward social chaos

It’s unclear whether or not OldTweetDeck (and other third-party app) users are still getting targeted, so I’m gonna abstain for the time being. Will keep on eye on the GitHub discussions to see whether anyone who’s still using it reports being re-banned.

Update: All my accounts were reinstated at some point in the last couple days. (I say “at some point” ’cause I only just noticed when I checked on a whim. Didn’t get any emails or anything.) Apparently a bunch of folks who got swept up in the recent ban wave are getting unbanned.

BREAKING: Gaza’s Health Ministry says over 69,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Israel-Hamas war so far.

Unprompted take: ‘Van Helsing’ (2004) is the best B-movie of the last 20 years. Hammy, hokey, and a ton of fun (and complemented by really good set pieces and music).

NEW: @govpritzker.illinois.gov's office says 3 masked ICE agents stopped & questioned an IL Department of Transportation employee working in Park Ridge about his immigration status & whether he had traveled to New York and his awareness of NYC Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social before leaving.

The father was a U.S. citizen. But he was Latino, so Brett Kavanaugh says it’s fine. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/u...

I just keep thinking “Elon Musk just got a trillion dollars”

every time you think the new WaPo editorial board can't embarrass itself any more, they manage to find a way. Left: 'Texas gerrymandering is no big deal!', from August. Right: 'Maryland gerrymandering is an affront to Western civilization!', from today.

Congratulations!

HE'S APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STARVE AMERICANS

This is the right question. And the answer is a lot: www.fastcompany.com/90230313/how... The topline claim that AI is bad because some users raise issues related to self-harm with it is meaningless by itself. The issue is how it's handled, not the number of users using it to ask questions about it.

I can’t believe Zohran is transing the trains already www.mta.info/article/f-m-...

So the VPN company, CyberGhost, sent a DMCA takedown to Cloudflare to try to get them to take down our article about the last sketchy DMCA notice they sent to Facebook to get them to take down a promotion we did *for them* a decade ago.

Right, they're gamblers who are reading pundits who are reading pollster who are reading voters ... There's no wisdom or insight there. Quite the opposite.

“At Cornell University, they have an incredible piece of equipment known as the tunneling electron microscope. It is so powerful that it can actually see images of the atom. If I were using that microscope right now, I still wouldn't be able to locate the university leadership’s backbone.”

A cleaning woman showed up at the wrong house with her husband. Someone inside shot through the door, striking 32-year-old María Florinda Ríos Pérez de Velásquez in the head, killing her. The Indianapolis suburb is called Whitestown.

Vance on judge's ruling: "I have contempt for this court."

ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler. "He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!" Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child. Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command. If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics. It’s trials w real punishments.

If I was really rich, I would not complain about mayors refusing to meet with me; I would just buy a lot of Lego sets and spend extended periods in Tokyo, Italy, and France

Lined up for tonight: ‘The Death of Stalin’ (2017) and Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ (out today). Which to watch first? 🤔 (… Later, that is.)
