The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

BREAKING on MS NOW:   Brian Cole Jr., the suspect accused of being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber, confessed to agents that he planted the bombs and has indicated he supported President Trump, according to two people familiar with his interview.

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

TLDR: Texas is empowering Any Random Motherfucker to sue abortion pill providers—from Big Pharma to a physician to Susan who happened to have an extra dose of mife in her van—and to win a 10K bounty for their troubles. And if the plaintiff is related to the fetus, 100K. Great day for abusers.

"In less than 10 years, Trump showed the nation its central conceit of a nation governed by a piece of parchment rather than a monarch was nothing more than a convenient fiction." michaelianblack.substack.com/p/every-cris...

The boat strikes are illegal. Dope couriers are not military combatants. So killing them with air strikes instead of arresting them is murder. It’s that simple.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER. My latest in @thenation.com

Seriously, Dems should just introduce an impeachment resolution. Hold fcking hearings. Who cares if it doesn't get out of committee? I want to see the rampant evidence he's put into the public domain shoved in his face, trial style. This is murder and it demands a response.

The teens are doing okay. apnews.com/article/news...

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home. They are lawless bestial scum.

I think that somewhere along the way something in Stephen Miller got fundamentally damaged. This is neither an excuse nor a mitigating factor; the dude is genuinely fucking evil and he and everything he stands for should be fought against and stopped. But he is something beyond mere sociopathy.

One of my favorite Wikipedia tables documents how each year's Gävlebock met its maker en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A4...

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.

Stephen Miller’s ancestors were Jewish refugees from the pogroms in czarist Russia. They came to the U.S. in the early twentieth century, even as racists said this same stuff about them.

Can someone show the White House Press Corpse a montage of the reporters who covered previous administrations, the ones who weren't complete cowards?

@numb.comfortab.ly Current band obsession. Try out Diamond and see what you think. Kind of Pink Floyd meets The Doors. I happen to like the whole concert (we like the music we like), but this song is a stand out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W45R...

He was, instead, a complete stranger that wowed her and then, regrettably, had to return to Lakewood, Colorado. If a gentleman friend has gushed about the lovely lady he met in Seattle, please point him to this Reddit thread: www.reddit.com/r/LakewoodCo...

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.

Fun fact: this is explicitly why Dick Wolf created Law & Order: he violently hates defense attorneys and felt tere weren't enough shows about how defendants and their lawyers are scum (also when somebody "gets off on a technicality" that actually means the cops committed a crime against them)

Trump feuding with Marjorie Taylor Greene but being in love with Zohran Mamdani was not on my November 2025 bingo card

Makes as much sense as this goofy peace plan!

1st, a majority of these degrees are held by women. 2nd, most of these degrees are "Required Reporters," professions legally obligated to report suspicions of child abuse. So, remove women from the workforce and make raping kids easier. Project 2025 in a nutshell.

Enten: "This is probably the worst 10 day period for the president in the polls his entire second term. The numbers are just atrocious ... when your best poll has you 14 points underwater, you know it's truly bad and it's as bad as 26 points underwater ... -43 with independents! They despise him."

It gets lost in the shuffle, but the Speaker of the House is someone who, by all rights, should’ve had his career ended a decade ago by a Shreveport TV news investigative team.

You don't often see this at the end of a whistleblower story:

Just them Skywalker boys Never meanin' no harm It's sad, he fought his dad and ended up with a half-missin' arm. Makin' their way, the only way they know how Star Wars, a little mores, in the force Than the Empire allows

We could spend years demanding a list be released, or we could just believe women…

this is true for basically all tradeswork, employers aren’t willing to pay enough for the training to make it worth it

Trump doesn’t have to call on House Republican to vote to release the file. Trump can order Bondi and Patel to release the files. Tomorrow. The question is, has he already ordered Bondi and Patel to destroy some of the files after they went through them months ago.

This really needs to be stressed, as it seems obvious Trump is going to let them vote to release it and then pretend his hands are tied. He’s had the power to release them all along, and still does. It’s just his excuses that are changing.

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Good news: If you would like to watch Ricky Jay and His 52 Assistants on YouTube I have done a painstaking 4k upscale of this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0gW...

they can come into the tent when they admit they were wrong and change their views we all joke about Woke Bill Kristol but he is for the most part the perfect example - he has, legitimately, become much more progressive you can’t bring in people who are mad he’s not delivering on horrible shit

You can think it’s good that Massie and MTG are stirring up shit within the GOP caucus without thinking their politics in general is good. It’s not hard at all in fact?

NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body." Even so, he said, “the cruelty that goes on that facility … must be 100 times worse." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

A foreign country bribed the president with a bar of gold. Where are my Originalists at?

"I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT." If you're in the United States, that is ALL you should EVER say to law enforcement besides asking if you're being detained, and identifying yourself in a stop and ID state.

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge. Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots. A thread 🧵 1/8 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats. Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives. You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.

I’m thinking the Dems need to run on nothing less than remaking American democracy. End Citizens United, totally reform the corrupt and broken SCOTUS, a new voting rights act, ban gerrymandering everywhere. And give Trump figures who broke the law fair trials, and ban them from federal jobs.

THEN YOU PURCHASE THEM AND DO NOT USE THE PROPERTY OF OTHERS
