"It honors our country." Yeah, the thing that's going to bring America back to its glory days is me showing up for my Frontier Airlines flight in a tux.

No one took an oath to the Commander and Chief.

It’s crazy to have SIX dedicated security lines at LaGuardia airport just for Clear & give them priority at the THREE general boarding lanes. This is a tax-payer funded airport that seems to be trying to force people to give their biometric info over to a private company or get squeezed & squeezed.

The Birmingham Water Works Board voted Wednesday evening to sell the utility’s assets to the city of Birmingham, just hours after Gov. Kay Ivey signed a law that dissolved the current slate of leaders.

The Voice of Alabama Politics and the Alabama Political Reporter can now confirm that Doug Jones is expected to file paperwork this week to run for Alabama governor. The decision will likely pit him against Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville. youtu.be/fWlMcC-nm7c

More employee payouts appear in store at the water works. The newly hired regional water works CEO has placed all senior executives on leave while bringing in his own leadership team, triggering more than $3.5 million in contract buyout provisions. www.al.com/news/birming...

Apple CEO Tim Cook used to quote MLK and fight for human rights. Today he dines at the White House with MBS, who ordered the death of a journalist. What happened to you, Tim?

....why is it CNN's sole responsibility to ensure the government isn't violating international law

New at Media Nation: “Things happen” — and for one brief moment, The Washington Post rediscovers its soul. dankennedy.net/2025/11/19/t...

Someone please explain to me how every single major media report about Trump and MBS does not start with an explicit statement that the two men are now officially business associates in multiple Trump Organization developments in Saudi Arabia, making any meeting about profit as much as anything else

Reproductive rights was one of the Biden Administration’s signature policies. And Roe v Wade had been law for almost 50 years. The Supreme Court “interfered” with it.

Watch this week's show: youtu.be/dto6_PAfpeA?...

The fact that the American president’s former best friend is helping Russia blackmail the president should be a far bigger story than it is. It should be on the front page of every major news outlet

Can you lock Apple Watch settings? Kid wears one to see his blood sugar numbers but I swear to god he moves his wrist the wrong way and suddenly the watch face is a different color, it’s speaking our loud, and the numerals are no longer Arabic ones. How does this stop?

Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV will share a meal this Sunday with Alessia Nobile and four fellow transgender Catholic activists, during the Vatican’s Jubilee of the Poor — marking the most significant public encounter shared between a pope and the trans community.

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally. Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

The irony of Trump dismissing the Epstein files as a “hoax”, usurping the power of Congress, and trampling on the DOJ’s independence is that any attempt to stop the release of files only adds to the appearance of a cover up. Trump's desire for control could be his undoing.

Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville had a few things to say following the recent New York City mayoral election. Columnist @warondumb.bsky.social takes a look: https://www.al.com/news/2025/11/tommy-tuberville-said-what-nyc-immigrants-edition.html 

Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville has said a lot of ridiculous things. After Zohran Mamdani won in NYC, it got worse.

For the past week, my stomach dropped each time I saw a new story pop up with "Kim Davis," "Supreme Court," or "same-sex marriage." I initially didn't think they would take the case... but as the decision got closer, my anxiety over it grew, too. A sigh of relief. Temporary, but welcome.

New at Media Nation: It turns out that you can share Boston Globe stories with non-subscribers for free. dankennedy.net/2025/11/10/i...

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Folks this is not a candid shot of the man at 11PM on a weekend, this is what he was doing while sitting in the middle of an internationally broadcast major press conference in the Oval Office He is cooked, get him out of there ASAP—before we find ourselves in the midst of a second Great Depression

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

How different the world would have been had the Rehnquist Court not been corrupt

Don’t forget that the sandwich guy was released at the scene and then re-arrested in a raid by a full tactical team. They were willing to kill him and and any neighbors in the way to get propaganda footage of the “arrest”.

the line between republican officeholder and serial killer can be so fine www.cleveland.com/news/2025/11...

Neal Katyal's opening volley against Trump's tariffs: "May it please the court: Tariffs are taxes."

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground. "That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks. "It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Dick Cheney in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

Grambling State QB recovery marked by privacy, patience and HBCU support

I feel like when sports writers say this, they're forgetting just a few weeks ago people were blasting Lamar Jackson for "giving up" in the Chiefs game. When the image of the QB position you create is (and is referred to as) "superman," this is gonna happen

Mayor Woodfin proposed $1 million in emergency aid and a citywide food drive to help the 23,000 Birmingham residents losing SNAP benefits.

No, CBS will not settle any lawsuits against them that people may bring for editing out over half of Trump’s interview since none of you are in a position of power to approve their merger with any other media companies.

Today I had the honor of cursing out Greg Bovino in person, just a block from my house. I recommend that everyone try it at least once in their life, if you’re privileged enough to do it

This really illustrates Trump’s lack of interest in both history and character, and his commitment to the enshittification of everything. This looks like what people imagine a “rich” hotel bathroom is, while simultaneously echoing one of those bath fitter things on TV they do in an afternoon.

Wild how you never see this stuff in mainstream/legacy media
