Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

“As a reasonable centrist, I think the paramilitary death squads need better training.”

Disgraceful “journalism” that reveals more about the editors at CNN than it does the victim of a murder.

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

STAFFER: Sir, NSA, CIA, and NGA have real-time updates on Venezuela, with high res satellite imagery & intercepts of all comms. If you’ll look over at this monitor over here, I can show you… TRUMP: What are people saying on Twitter? HEGSETH: Sir, Cat Turd just re-posted your picture of Maduro.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

A classified government report showcases shocking weaknesses of the U.S. military. The editorial board writes that it is time for America to “create a relevant and effective force that can deter wars whenever possible and win them wherever necessary.”

NEW: Pentagon recalls Hegseth to active duty for violating most of the UCMJ www.duffelblog.com/pentagon-rec...

Reminder that shortly after ordering these strikes, Hegseth removed the press corps from the Pentagon and the SouthCom Commander overseeing operations in the Caribbean unexpectedly announced he is stepping down 2 yrs before his term is up. What we are seeing is just the tip of the iceberg.

Another good reason to avoid being on X is that Isaac Chotiner could start asking you questions there at any time

they're adding a fifth loko

Democrats: Troops shouldn't follow illegal orders. Republicans: SEDITION! US Army lawyers: Troops shouldn't follow illegal orders. tjaglcs.army.mil/Periodicals/...

Maybe the Pentagon can also recall Hegseth to active duty to court martial him for adultery, drinking on duty, and conduct unbecoming

Guaranteed she’s starting a podcast

I know this is controversial take but I think military members carrying out illegal orders is bad

Studies have also not ruled out that eating potato chips causes cancer.

Rush Doshi: “It is unwise to invade Russia in the winter. The economic corollary should now be equally clear. It is unwise to start a trade war with the main supplier of your most critical imports until you have mitigated your vulnerabilities.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/o...

Naming your tax avoidance foundation “The Foundation” is a little too on the nose.

A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me

Wild that this is what Trump is ranting in all caps about. These days, the party of Reagan apparently can’t bear to hear the man’s voice.

New satellite images show the scale of demolition that has occurred on the East Wing of the White House in less than a month.
