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."

Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent. She didn't want to deploy to D.C. "She hated it. She cried about it." But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it. May she rest in peace. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Now here’s the kind of news you drop going into a long holiday weekend. Maybe no one will notice. 🤡 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

This is a really big story that should not be missed. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

Hey, congratulations to all of Olivia Nuzzi’s horny media critic defenders. Heckuva job!

This article heavily implies that ICE is being used in a custody dispute to help Karoline Leavitt's brother get his son and have the mother locked up in ICE detention

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.

Remarkable: Rep Chrissy Houlahan, one of the Dems that Trump called for executing, tells me her office literally filled out a Capitol Police threat report that listed "the president" as the person making the threat. It's at 9:20 on our pod. Much more like that here: newrepublic.com/article/2034...

⚠️ The US Federal Aviation Administration has issued a NOTAM for airspace over Venezuela and nearby areas. (NOTAM = Notice to Air Missions) The notice cites as cause: “WORSENING SECURITY SITUATION AND HEIGHTENED MILITARY ACTIVITY IN OR AROUND VENEZUELA”

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

Amazing how much 2025 was a hyper correction for the fact that in 2024 voters clearly didn't know what they were voting for because the media didn't report on Trump's actual policies/voters refused to believe what they were voting for.

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

The password to the Louvre’s video surveillance system was “Louvre,” according to a museum employee

This, in particular, is spectacularly hideous. It's like something you'd see on the wall of a car dealership where they put pictures of their top salespeople every month

Federal agents’ use of force amid the aggressive deportation campaign in Chicago “shocks the conscience,” and the Trump administration “lacks credibility.” That’s what a judge found Thursday in a crucial new ruling: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

UPDATE: U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis said she will issue a sweeping injunction limiting the use of force by federal immigration agents in the Chicago area after she found a litany of violations were committed in recent weeks.

News on Trump boat bombings --> Rep Adam Smith, top Dem on Armed Services, tells me GOPers are failing to press for testimony from the top Pentagon official who recently resigned, potentially over the strikes. Appallingly, we may never hear from him. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2025...

"Trump’s Cabinet might claim their mad king is the epitome of health during their NK-style fawning sessions, but nobody else is drinking that Kool-Aid. And while Trump insists he’s transformed the country into a utopia while reducing prices in mathematically impossible ways, voters aren’t buying it"

(Miami Herald) - The Trump Administration has made the decision to attack military installations inside Venezuela and the strikes could come at any moment, sources with knowledge of the situation told the Miami Herald .. @miamiherald.com www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...
