WTAF is wrong with people?🤦‍♀️

How Trump and the GOP are Aligning with Putin and Betraying Our Allies Putin continues playing Trump as Steve Witkoff is being sent to affirm a "peace plan" engineered in Moscow that will abandon Ukraine and US allies. With @levparnas.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

We are in the heyday of traitors being easy to spot. If the Putin-fluffing bootlicker had a shred of dignity he would resign, but then, if he had a shred of dignity, he wouldn't be fluffing Putin. #FuckoffWitkoff

9NEWS has obtained a copy of the Trump DOJ's request to take custody of Tina Peters. Colorado's Department of Corrections redacted a large portion of the request, claiming its disclosure would be "contrary to public interest."

old enough to remember when a bunch of white guys in the beltway said the occupations and ethnic pogroms weren’t a big deal in July of this year

NEW: DOJ said tonight that it was DHS Secretary Kristi Noem who made the call to proceed with the deportation of more than 100 Venezuelan men to El Salvador, despite a judge's order seeking to block the transfer. w/ @joshgerstein www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

I’m still thinking about Bari Weiss saying that Hasan Piker (extremely popular influencer) is less of a measure of where Americans are than Alan Dershowitz (extremely unpopular Epstein associate, his own neighbors won’t sell him a pierogi)

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…

🚨 NEW/EXCLUSIVE: The FBI turned over dozens of emails to me in response to my #FOIA request that provides a behind-the-scenes look at discussions involving the review and redaction of the Epstein files www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

The docs also reveal the number of hours the FBI devoted to the project, which required some agents to work nights and weekends. The FBI paid personnel $851,344 in overtime for working on the Epstein files between March 17 and March 22.

NYT: In 2017, Mr. Trump’s scheduled events started at 10:31 a.m. on average. By contrast, Mr. Trump in his second term has started scheduled events in the afternoon on average, at 12:08 PM Trump’s total official appearances have decreased by 39% www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

lol I was just thinking back to when Kevin McCarthy was Speaker lol

Trump’s pursuit of Senator Mark Kelly extends the president’s retribution campaign to the military justice system, Missy Ryan, Yvonne Wingett Sanchez, and Nancy A. Youssef report. “We basically said, ‘Follow the law.’ And he said, ‘Kill them,’” Kelly tells them:

This is exactly what you do With presidents who coup

i’m not sure how but this is real antipolygraph.org/blog/2025/10...

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office said it would cost $244.64 to review the emails between Abbott and Musk, which @kutnews.bsky.social and The Texas Newsroom paid. After the check was cashed, Abbott’s and Musk’s lawyers sought to keep the records secret.

What we saw today was police behavior that failed to come even close to meeting that bar. Police behavior that failed us.

People across our community have taken comfort knowing that our police department was committed to relationship building, community outreach, and true public safety.

In recent years, the Saint Paul Police Department has been a source of pride for Saint Paul. Leaders in our city, within and outside of the police department, have spent years putting policies and procedures in place to ensure that excellence is not just expected, but required.

What I did not expect to see today was the horrifying footage coming from the East Side of police officers who turned weapons and violence against the people of Saint Paul.

Our city says loudly and often that we stand with immigrants, peaceful protestors, and everybody who is fighting for a better world. Every elected official in our city has an obligation to make that more true than it was today.

As a city council member, I am committed to swiftly getting the answers that our residents deserve, and ensuring there is full accountability for any officer who failed to follow our separation ordinance or failed to follow our use-of-force policy.

I am furious and devastated that ICE was once again present in Saint Paul and that federal agents continue to jeopardize the safety and well-being of our residents. The destruction this White House has caused our city in just a matter of days is unconscionable.

This epic takedown of Trump’s entire cabinet by Jen Psaki would be funny if millions of lives weren’t hanging in the balance because of his no good, incompetent, unqualified, reckless, corrupt, unserious, and flat out dangerous picks. 1/2

There’s more…

Rep. @jrclemmons.bsky.social weighs in on the Musk Nashville tunnel “boondoggle” crew walkout…

A New York Times investigation finds that the Trump regime gave false information to the Supreme Court about an incident in Chicago in order to support its bid to deploy the National Guard in the city. (Gift link)

Republican Rep. Don Bacon calls for Witkoff to be fired. May it be the first call of many. Witkoff needs to go, now.

Anyway, this is just my experience as a software engineer; I haven't even touched the stuff DOGE did to public health or foreign aid. But from a distance it looks pretty clearly motivated by the same swirl of anti-government, anti-minority conspiracy theories.

DOGE stole the phrase "waste, fraud, and abuse" from government regulations, where it is used to prohibit corrupt contracts, and inverted its meaning: They use it to mean a leftist conspiracy imagined to engage in the financial corruption that DOGE is actually doing by self-dealing gov contracts

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵

(Also, she wasn't in the military and apparently doesn't understand the two oaths.)

Today we filed 1st Amendment lawsuit against AG Pam Bondi & Dept of Justice for illegal firing of senior official w/o any due process for personal comments of public interest he made on private date that turned out to be targeted O'Keefe operation. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

here's today's post: "Liddle Marco and his ace team of shitwits got played by Russia — again" — how was this even allowed to happen? thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

New York AG James: "I am heartened by today's victory and grateful for the prayers and support I have received from around the country. "I remain fearless in the face of these baseless charges as I continue fighting for New Yorkers every single day."

Understand that the Halligan thing is 100% Pam Bondi's fuck-up. She could have appointed Halligan Special Attorney and this thing would still be alive. So it's not just that HALLIGAN is an incompetent bigot. It's that Bondi is too.

If there's one thing the mainstream news media love to overlook, it's the impact of the mainstream news media. The petite Tea Party in all its elite-backed astroturfiness was hailed like a sacred comet; the historically huge No Kings was played down by the NY Times, among other publications.

No one is safe under this regime. Trump & Republicans have empowered a rogue force to abduct & detain anyone they choose with no due process...even violating judges' rights! Even high school kids! The #ICELawlessness has opened thousands of lives & too many are silent. Call Congress: 202-224-3121

Since the start of this year, some 600 immigrant children have been placed in government shelters by ICE, according to government data — the highest number since recordkeeping began a decade ago. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

I’m sure these two things have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with each other.

America needs more patriots like Senator Mark Kelly and fewer miserable cowards like Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth.

This is all so ludicrously improper and meritless on so many levels, I'd bet the likelier result is nothing more comes of it beyond this purely performative bluster, because Hegseth has no idea what he's doing and they'd struggle to find literally anybody in uniform willing to move forward with it.

www.politico.com/news/2025/11... JUST IN: The Pentagon, in a post on X, said it had launched “a thorough review” into Kelly for “serious allegations of misconduct,” which could result in recalling the Arizona senator to active duty to court-martial him.

The Russian official reportedly behind the proposed Ukraine peace plan, Kirill Dmitriev, has openly and repeatedly promoted QAnon.

Are those "MANY GREAT LEGAL SCHOLARS" in the room with you right now, Piggy?

Any speculator who bought Trump’s memecoin at its peak after it was announced inauguration weekend would have lost almost the entire value of their investment by this month. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The pile of lies is stunning. First, no crimes at 1/6. Second, wrong to investigate. Third, unusual to get toll records of people instigators called. Fourth, wrong to suspend notice while investigation ongoing. Cherry on top: vote yourself $500k as victim of nothing wrong.
