The message from Trump is crystal clear - if you beat the hell of out police, if you threaten to kill FBI officers - I will make sure you get away with it if you are breaking the law to keep me in power. If you don't see it, this is a message about 2028.

It's a revealing moment... J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost. The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

We agree with LadyVols_fan31 this guy should be nowhere near a badge

The fact that Megyn Kelly minimized raping 15 year olds and wasn't immediately canceled from every platform, including @siriusxmprog.bsky.social and YouTube, tells you EVERYTHING that is wrong with right wing media and this country in general.

Guards at the Rankin County jail beat people behind closed doors and encouraged some inmates to join in on the brutality, former inmates and guards said. The violence created a culture of fear, widely accepted by officials to keep order, a New York Times and Mississippi Today investigation found.

Pam Bondi has posted rants and videos saying that there’ll be no mercy for those who threaten federal agents. But she and her boss just pardoned a woman who threatened to shoot federal agents. Why did this Florida woman get a pass? She’s MAGA. Trump doesn’t care about federal agents. Never did.

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Gosh, why and how could that be? Such an enigma!

The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon. 77 million people voted for this.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Bitcoin dropped below $96,000 for the first time since May while major tech stocks continued to slide on Friday morning.

Every time you see “suspected gang member” I want you to think about the massacre in Rio. In its aftermath at least 90 of the 120 who have been identified, including a beheaded teenager, were found to have no connection to the target.

Governor Newsom in Brazil, Tuesday at The COP 30 United Nations Climate Summit. Nice to Have Newsom Representing The USA,Since Chump Wouldn't Go.....

OK I recorded a pod on balcony solar & folks it is f'ing awesome. I was vaguely excited about this before digging in & now I'm *extremely* excited about it.

It’s the hottest economy in history with $21 trillion coming in. Also: we need the Fed to cut rates and “prop up this economy.” 🤪 @atrupar.com

From COVID shots to cancer therapy, mRNA is changing medicine.

Remember: Tesla is included in the MAG7 when it comes to stock valuations but excluded when it comes to earnings 🧐 🧐 🧐

The Biden administration sought to create a streamlined refund system free of hoops for passengers who experienced canceled or significantly changed flights.

All I have to say about the Nuzzi profile is that at the end of it she jokes about how she destroyed her life. In fact she did not do that. She has a book, a magazine job, this lovely profile. People’s lives are being destroyed by this administration, however, including by -well, you know.

An anti-abortion protester has shot someone outside of a South Carolina Planned Parenthood. My source says one person was injured and taken to the hospital—and that the protester was arrested. More soon.

The Trump administration has repeatedly used alleged instances of mortgage fraud to target high-profile Democrats.

Ahem. It's the job of the President to appoint DAs - with advice and consent from the Senate. The President can ignore that rule - but only once (per district) and only for 120 days. Do you know who appoints DAs after the 120 day mark has passed? Pam Bondi doesn't. Because it's the judiciary.

UPS is adding late payment fees to tariff invoices and threatening to send bills to collections agencies in the wake of tariff chaos at the service.

If you don’t test for Covid, the numbers go down! www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.

They’re all just looting the treasury now

My take on Trump asking AG Bondi to investigate only democrats who knew Epstein. For the whole discussion, consider following me on Substack: substack.com/@thefrankfig...

Operation Change The Topic From Epstein

what the actual fuck

This is a better answer than I gave on The Source to @kaitlancollins.bsky.social last night.

Dear NPR, You do not work for the president. You are not his public relations team. You do not need to try to boost his public image with “preparing to take on the concern,” especially not when referring to problems he has caused or made worse. Your job is news. Or at least it’s supposed to be.

(AP) — A confidant of Bill Pulte .. provided confidential mortgage pricing data from Fannie Mae to a principal competitor, alarming senior officials .. who warned it could expose the company to claims that it was colluding with a rival to fix mortgage rates. apnews.com/article/fann...

$143 million in taxpayer money has gone to a mysterious company created just days before it got the money to create a Homeland Security ad campaign starring the deeply corrupt Kristi Noem. A firm with close ties to Noem is secretly cashing in on the deal, according to ProPublica.

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

Epstein advising Bannon to make China the enemy of the Trump base, referring to them as "deplorables," to which Bannon says "yes yes yes." They ruined HRC for this, and this is how they were talking about Trump's base behind the scenes. drive.google.com/file/d/1EKKd...

Every day there are multiple instances of blatant corruption. Our government policy is for sale to the highest bidder and every bad actor in the world knows it. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/w...

Glad to see @sarahkendzior.bsky.social back. But READ her Thread.

In the global electrification race China is marching ahead. The US and Europe risk falling behind clinging on to yesterday's technologies.

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector. 100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land. That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends. It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

The rights of some 900 U.S. billionaires do not take precedence over 340 million non-billionaires.

Just waiting for the outrage of all those “the US is a Christian nation” folks…. but I have a feeling I’ll be waiting in vain ….

Everyone should do this!
