JUST IN: 9th Circuit goes en banc on CA law requiring background checks for buying ammunition. Panel ruled 2-1 in July that the law violates 2nd Amendment under #SCOTUS Bruen case. That decision nullified & 11-judge bench will rehear. Doc: cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op...

I’m posting this, not bc I think it will work, but rather bc I think it’s important to know who would propose such a thing and what else they might be involved with (eg, Prospera in Honduras, as shown in thread). Some of these same people will still be here, causing chaos, even when Trump is not.

So, the alleged and unproven "drug traffickers" clinging to the side of the boat rubble posed an imminent threat which required a "self-defense" second strike? #KarolineLeavitt isn't even TRYING to make logical sense any more!

If you or someone you know is in the U.S. military and betting on conflicts, or potential conflicts, let us know @taskandpurpose.com. Please reach out via email or signal, contact info is in my bio.

Reporter: Why won't the administration confirm or deny whether or not there were a survivors after that initial first strike? What imminent threat would survivors pose who were clinging presumably to the wreckage of that boat? Leavitt: You guys are not listening fully to the statement I provided.

Supposedly the party for “states’ rights”

I'm really fascinated by the way this administration seems to think "kinetic strike" is a sort of magical phrase as opposed to being to being ridiculous military jargon. Hegseth uses it a lot the way a teenager will use some new word they think makes them sound sophisticated.

I wonder if he was smart enough to get Hegseth's order in writing or not

This is such bs. Healthy people don't get MRIs. It's by no means a routine test. Trump will be flinging sh*t from the back of his diaper at the cameras and Republicans will still claim he's mentally fit. But at the rate he's going, that won't be too long.

Now that Karoline Leavitt just confirmed that Frank Bradley gave the order for the second strike that killed two people clinging to boat wreckage (per @atrupar.com) this seems doubly relevant:

An addendum to today's post paulkrugman.substack.com/p/trump-pro-...

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

First, Lindsey Halligan. Now, Alina Habba. This DOJ is breathtakingly incompetent, not just because it appoints idiots to cases, but because it is willing to break laws to appoint idiots to cases.

Fear sells better

imo if you want to get back in power your slogan should be "If you elect us we will prosecute everyone in government who has violated the law"

DON’T LET THEM FOOL YOU Black Friday $ sales are higher this year because things are more expensive. So consumers aren’t buying more items, they’re just paying more them.

Interesting and disturbing information!👇

Today, local authorities confirmed the victims of the Stockton shooting were just 8, 9, 14, and 21 years old — and that the attack was likely targeted. Our hearts break for their families and the entire Stockton community.

Yes we have a problem with it along with members of your own party.

Don’t forget that every member of the Senate who voted to confirm Pete Hegseth is complicit in this mess.

He cherishes country music everybody.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Thou shalt not pretend that you’re at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.

Because of course the guy who was sentenced to seven years in federal prison for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft got a Presidential pardon...and a job at the DOJ.

Trump: You’re going to have drug prices coming down 500,600,700% because of me

Such a great podcast. I’ve read numerous books featured on this and its sister podcast, Locklisted, but it’s more than that. The hosts are very good company, and conjure conversations and a community I feel like I’m part of. Backlisted is superb even when I’m relatively uninterested in the book.

I aced the cognitive test. Also, drug prices are coming down 700 percent.

I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better. kentuckylantern.com/2025/11/25/t...

HOW ARE THERE YET MORE DEM CAMPAIGNS THAT THINK I WANT TO HEAR FROM JAMES CARVILLE AND INCLUDE A PICTURE OF HIS FACE STOP

just called ai "the mediocrity machine" in a meeting and the tech bro is shaking a finger at me and twitching so hard he can't even plug what's happening into the machine so it can tell him how to respond

Of course it’s what he is saying. He is the emptiest publicly known human being on the planet.

How about now?

It dovetailed with the freakout over the unlawful orders video, but also it is just qualitatively worse. It's absolutely a crime under all circumstances, even against a real enemy in a real war. And that has deep historical roots as *the* most notorious clear-cut war crime you can commit at sea.

One sign that your brain is super good is when your doctors keep giving you cognitive tests

Indiana Republican state senator. I appreciate her not caving, but they are all still afraid to ever use Trump’s name. I guess doing so exponentially increases the threats. Trump rules the GOP with fear and intimidation. What a broken party.

Everyone saw this coming. Trump stiffed his contractors, then fell out w/his architect because he refused to back his demand for a ballroom bigger than the WH. And those corporate donations he keeps bragging about are pledges, not real money. Taxpayers will end up on the hook one way or another.
