The liars in the White House aren't "mistaken." They know they're lying. They think lying is a big part of their job. Never cut them a break by thinking they're confused or deluded. They're lying to steal the freedom of everyone you love.

While this usually isn't the intent, "no one will ever be held accountable for this" doomerism is an excuse not to try. There'll be at least some accountability if enough Americans work for it. And this time really is different. Doesn't guarantee the aftermath will be, but it increases the chances.

AI slop. it's what's for dinner. Thanks tech overlords! Keep looking in the mirror while you sing the song about your utopian genius!

can't believe this ancient mesopotamia shoe wearing ass said people need to dress up at the airport

LEFT: Mark Kelly, shirt covered with medals. RIGHT: Pete Hegseth, shirt covered with booze.

Can we just savor the fact that, in these days before Thanksgiving, a federal judge threw out the cases against James Comey and Letitia James and noted that Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed (making clear that Trump's the one who violated the law)?

#billcassidy is the worst of the cowards of this era. he could have stopped the RFK Jr nomination and he didn’t. he still refuses to lift a finger to save lives. what an odious little man.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy

I’ve been thinking and it’s kind of exceptional that not a single person said “Hey now” after the piggy comment.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

However MAGA chooses to explain this away will be one of the most extreme examples of cognitive dissonance theory in the history of ever.

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

Stop me if you've heard this before: If the NYT still had a public editor, that person would have official standing to ask, WTF??? They axed the public editor. So it's up to the rest of us to ask, unofficially, WTF???

The man who ended USAID is the world's first trillionaire

On a call with reporters, DNC chair Ken Martin responds to JD Vance claiming Dems only won big last night because races were in blue states. "Well that's bullshit. We won in red counties, blue counties, purple counties," Martin says. And it was all "a rejection of Trump."

big night for dems, sure, but the real winners are the aloof wives quietly steering mayoral campaigns from behind the scenes

Bill Ackman gotta be on the third draft of a tweet longer than Middlemarch right now

I want to see Mamdani win in NYC tomorrow for a lot of reasons, but one of them is absolutely to watch Bill Ackman crash out

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

The people at @nytimes.com helped me make this video about sexism www.nytimes.com/video/opinio...

America’s still terrified of powerful women in politics. It’s pure misogyny baked into the system. Add race to the mix and it’s on a whole different level of hate that most won’t even admit. Time to get over that shit! Let’s take a step forward on Tuesday. [video: @mollyjongfast.bsky.social ]

Wow: George Tidmarsh, brought in by Trump admin to lead FDA’s drug division, is on leave after he says he questioned FDA’s plan to speed drug approvals, @by-cjewett.bsky.social reports Also says he clashed with Vinay Prasad and blames him for a toxic environment at FDA

Fires. The military occupation. The ongoing paramilitary occupation. Repeated attacks on peaceful demonstrations by local cops. Continued hardships as the studios don't do more production in the city. Los Angeles is struggling this year. This win means a lot.

Shouldn’t take a court order to tell you to feed the hungry.

BREAKING: 20 Jeffrey Epstein victims are urging Mike Johnson to immediately swear-in Adelita Grijalva. STOP IGNORING THE EPSTEIN VICTIMS!

Covering Hurricane Melissa’s landfall, national TV news networks largely neglected the storm’s links to climate change" | Article by Evlondo Cooper for #mediamattersforamerica: www.mediamatters.org/broadcast-ne...

Courage is contagious. Sounds too simple, but is true. Same for cowardice.

Arizona A.G. Kris Mayes explains why she is suing Mike Johnson for not swearing Adelita Grijalva into office. "By not swearing her in he's depriving 813,000 Arizonans of representation. That's called taxation without representation. We fought a revolutionary war over that."

Trump destroying Eleanor Roosevelt‘s legacy (the east wing) feels a little on the nose.

Holy “parallel establishment”. “Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is sounding the alarm about the Trump administration’s approval of a new bank backed by two GOP megadonors, tech billionaires Peter Thiel and Palmer Luckey” … 1/ www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

For the Epstein-th time, Oversight Dems are demanding no pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. Release the files!

Solidarity is the only way

⁨The blatantly political videos being forced on airports across the country are not only an abuse of taxpayer dollars, but they violate the law. I'm joining @SenBlumenthal and @SenJackReed to demand DHS take down these videos immediately.⁩

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

When a bad man does a good thing, he does not cease to be a bad man. This is a complicated moment in the Middle East. Each of us must work to make sense of it. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

A diseased population is easier to control

Holy crap. Trump will make the FCC crucify Jimmy Kimmel for this.

They really don't want to release the Epstein Files, huh.

Go, Jane, go! She's rounded up hundreds of Hollywood figures to revive the First Amendment organization her father championed. Fonda, in her late eighties, is in her prime as a climate champion and a powerful voice for justice.

Sorry we had to cancel your cancer treatment, but the Secretary of Defense had to fly all the generals in so he could call them fat.

"no more superficial individual expression"

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this. Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

Dems should commit to impeach Bondi and refer to bar for disbarment.

ABC says 'JKL' snared a 0.87 rating among adults 18-49. making it the show's 'highest regularly scheduled episode in over 10 years — since 3/12/15.'

Bothsiderism in its final form

One group calling for Jimmy Kimmel's ouster is Sinclair media. Even if you don't pay attention to media conglomerates, you probably remember Sinclair for this:

I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist. Clarifying the law is important because it reminds us not to comply in advance and to resist and take action

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Sinclair, run by right-wing media mogul David Smith, says suspending the Jimmy Kimmel show isn’t enough. It is going to run a tribute to Kirk during Kimmel’s time slot. Sinclair stations will run not consider putting Kimmel back on air until he apologizes and donates to Turning Point USA
