so, this right here? this is one of the absolutely most lawless, brazenly unconstitutional impeachable offenses ever committed by any president other than trump in the history of our country. like, this is an open and shut case. and it's a case which targeted *republicans.*

Not just tourism. It ends US global business.

GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered? GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now THOMPSON: What does that mean?

“Asian wife sharing,” Pentagon press policy, and me: Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Amanda Seyfried tells WhoWhatWear she won’t apologize for calling Charlie Kirk “hateful”: “I mean, for f**k’s sake, I commented on one thing. I said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes.“

I’ll never forget hearing Donald Trump’s racist “shithole countries” comment in a 2018 Oval Office meeting about immigration. Tom Cotton and David Perdue claimed Trump didn’t say it and accused me of lying. The truth comes out.

Incredible we built a society where tens of thousands of people are forced to live in this misery just because the wealthiest people in America want more parking and because left-NIMBY cranks still won't let go of their housing Lysenkoism which insists that new housing causes gentrification.

Justice Jackson to Solicitor General Sauer (just now, in Trump v. Slaughter arguments):

The "major questions doctrine" is just something Supreme Court Justices made up to give themselves more power whenever they feel like it. No basis in law granting the Supreme Court majority additional ability to undo an act of Congress they disagree with because Justices say this one's a big deal.

I read the classified legal memo and disagree that military strikes on drug boats are legal (w/o congressional war authorization). But nothing in the memo would authorize strikes on boats not even headed for the U.S. That’s just straight up murder. DOJ must open investigation.

In their confirmation hearings, RFK Jr pledged he would not be anti-vax, Hegseth said he respected women serving in leadership positions in the military, and Bondi said she would not weaponize DOJ against Trump’s political enemies.

Cassidy continues to pay lip service to the public health catastrophe he created with his cowardice.

“The intention was to punish elite universities, it was not to destroy the scientific capacity of the United States, but that’s what they’re doing.” This is clearly and flatly wrong, as evinced by every science-related policy decision and appointment, whether to do with universities or not.

Trump Appears To Doze During Stroke

STUPID! If you want to know why cars cost more, look at tariffs, commodity spikes, electronics, and supply chain changes — not long-established fuel economy rules. Weakening CAFE standards could backfire and lead to HIGHER gas prices if vehicles become less efficient.

Drove to work ruminating on self-driving cars & policy choices. Arrived at the hair-raising intersection by my parking garage to see a crowd gathered around someone who’d just been hit by a human-driven car. (Looked minor, they were sitting up & conscious, thank god) www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/o...

After World War II, 3 German U-boat crewmen were sentenced to death for machine-gunning Allied sailors who were clinging to life rafts after their boat was sunk. It's long been known in the military that this is a war crime. Pete Hegseth must be fired and prosecuted.

Lesson 6: If you have a theory of the Supreme Court that does not include political ideology, its going to be wrong. During the Biden administration it was all major questions because they did not like his policies, and during Trump it is mostly unitary executive, because they do.

Oh my god.

I’m no expert, but I’ve seen this paper described as an important justification for claims about the safety of Roundup. And now it has been retracted by the journal it appeared in. 🧪

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think: In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels. In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

The best way to understand the current regime is that we're effectively being governed by an unofficial, extra-constitutional junta mostly dominated by Miller, in which Trump himself is a marginal and disengaged figurehead making few if any substantive decisions.

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.

He’s letting white collar criminals walk free: More than 1,000 people submitted statements attesting to their losses…‘hardworking, everyday people,’ including small business owners, farmers, veterans, teachers and nurses. “I lost my whole life savings,” one wrote, “I am living from check to check.”

The reason the top 10% of income earners pay more than half of all tax revenue is NOT because they are taxed more than ever. Their tax rate has been cut FIVE times in the last 25 years. They are paying more because their INCOME has increased astronomically, where the income of the bottom half has

Professor Jack Goldsmith, head of George W. Bush Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC): "I do not believe that even the Bondi OLC could legally justify the events the Post reported." "There can be no conceivable legal justification for what the Washington Post reported."

Your school won in court but your budget is cut 20% so you’re firing two techs and not taking any PhD students. Your grant is up for renewal in 2027, sorry but Jay Bhattacharya has classified it as woke. Meanwhile 10 pharma recruiters are in your inbox. American science is straight up fucked.

Apologies. Didn't alt-text it. Here we go.

h/t @adamwren.bsky.social Michael Bohacek, a Republican state senator from Indiana who has a daughter with down syndrome, says he will vote against redistricting in Indiana after Trump used the word "retarded."

Offering the survivors of a missile strike no quarter and then ordering a second strike to finish them off puts Hegseth in deep, deep water. He gave an illegal order. This is either murder or a war crime. It doesn't matter what your title is, Secretary of Defense, or Fox Talk Show Host. It's murder.

Cold blooded murder.

Straight up war crime

🎯

So I'm pretty sure a three star knows that an order to strike alleged combatants who are hors de combat is facially illegal, in case anyone's still having any hangups on whether Bradley needs to be in the dock after this

this is just gutter racism

This is similar to the logic that the Nazis used to justify mass deportation and murder of Jews, Romani, and other people. They’re not Nazis, though!

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

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.

This is unhinged, unadulterated white nationalism that is so off-the-charts fascist not even David Duke would have said that in public.

Anything to please the corporate donors.

ruin your thanksgiving by reading new york magazine's take on mathematics

Are you still massively against me breaking into your home and stealing all your stuff so I can sell it or have you moved more towards acceptance?

Scrolling through November 1863 newspapers looking at reactions to Lincoln’s Thanksgiving proclamation and what’s notable is how whiny the conservative Dem papers are about how Thanksgiving proclamations should be the state prerogative and not the federal government’s plus ça change, I guess

Idk who needs to hear this but if going home for Thanksgiving makes you miserable, then stop going home for Thanksgiving.

4/ to do. Are we really going to invade Venezuela? Again, its not that invading Iraq was a better idea. What I'm getting at is that I don't think anyone has any idea what is motivating this and what they might do. And that is SUPER WEIRD and also SUPER BAD. Obviously the US has been hostile to ...
