For old times' sake, here's the White House propaganda video of a whole SWAT team arresting Sandwich Guy—who had offered to turn himself in. x.com/WhiteHouse/s...

Of course I'm worried about socialism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani one day becomes President and nationalizes industry, imposes historic tax hikes, goes after the media, builds a secret national police force, militarizes the country, and sends people to camps.

You can indict a ham sandwich, sure. But can you convict it?

The New York Times is going through some things, although not, regrettably, a woodchipper.

Young Republicans leaders praise Nazis. Here’s why that’s bad news for Zohran Mamdani. by Jonathan Greenblatt

Hi folks, my good friend @brianstraw.bsky.social is one of the 6 people indicted for protesting ICE in Chicago. He has set up a defense fund to help fight this politically motivated prosecution. Please consider supporting his defense. secure.actblue.com/donate/straw...

I’m putting down a marker: she’s going to primary either Gillibrand or Schumer. Whoever is up first.

I like that republicans keep calling mamdani a “literal communist” because they’ve been calling everyone to the left of william mckinley a communist for a hundred years and they need to distinguish

Can’t be too careful.

This is Queen Mary and Queen Anne erasure

This plus Spanberger/Sherrill being born in each other's states are the best 2025 election factoids I've seen.

dawg they’re live laugh loving the white house. president homegoods

They’ve got John Roberts defending congressional powers from the executive, folks.

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

My expert political opinion is that killing the job market, raising grocery prices, kicking people off their health care, stealing taxpayer money, and trying to starve 40 million Americans is pretty damn unpopular.

Just let me get the leak of what the NYPD group chats post about Zohran

Spare a thought for all the campaign staffers who will spend the next seven hours fielding questions like "what are you hearing" and "how do the exits look".

“in my official capacity as the head of the FBI, i demand that you stop talking about my girlfriend” is some profoundly embarrassing and unprofessional shit, and that’s before you remember no one *is* talking about his girlfriend, they’re talking about him taking FBI jets to see her

i hope this is how you find out about dick cheney

Absolutely right. As we noted in FAULT LINES, Watergate is key to understanding Cheney’s politics

the fun thing about home espresso brewing is it will absolutely not save you money, especially if you are the kind of person who tends to become obsessive about technical details

Just waiting for the media to tell me why every Democrat win tomorrow is actually good for Republicans.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Everyone involved in this, including Trump, should be prosecuted for murder under the next administration. Let him defend it with presidential immunity, and then take it back to SCOTUS after packing the court back into a real judicial body.

This is the biggest emergency in the cascading emergencies from this White House.

LET THEM URINAL CAKE

This three-hops theory is especially insane. Even if you assume each person is connected to only 100 other people, there are 1m people within three hops of every suspected drug trafficker—and remember that even *known* drug traffickers aren’t legitimate targets. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/u...

This is how it done

One thing I really appreciate about zoo animals getting pumpkins is that it really puts into perspective how strong they are. I have cut a pumpkin and know how hard that is, seeing something just bite into it helps break up the 'but friend shaped' part of my white woman brain.

The sobering thing about the shutdown stretching on is Trump LOVES not paying workers. It's like his signature move.

I'd add that even if, as was the case, some people wanted this, it's not something a plurality of voters get to have without abandoning the constitutional framework of the republic.

Dems have to stop being pinkies-up polite. Same with @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social. Shove her with a bible, backed by every House Dem into Mike Johnson’s daily press bullshit and get her sworn in on live TV. It’s time - literally AND figuratively - to take the Hill.

Not wrong 👇

Quoting @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social: "I think important, high-level national security positions should be filled with experienced, competent national security professionals, not neophytes who don’t know what they’re doing but have the right connections or past personal loyalty tests."

The FBI director is flying his girlfriend around on private government planes while FBI agents go without paychecks and families prepare to go hungry as SNAP benefits are being suspended

Resuming nuclear testing is a massive giveaway to China and Russia because we basically have the supercomputers to simulate them (look into why the DOE owns so many….) no and they don’t, so physical nuclear tests would give them a lot of data that they currently don’t have access to.

The Diplomat a little too timely.

Let's play, "Who said it: Donald Trump, the Grand Wizard of the Klan, Pamela Geller, or Andrew Cuomo?"

Legally, this is no different from Iran sinking a Disney cruise in international waters and then saying "it's all good, they were terrorists carrying drugs." Which is to say, it's wholly illegal and has been for centuries. You couldn't even do this with a Letter of Marque and Reprisal.

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

I think the m.o. will be to withhold merits decisions until they see which way 2028 winds are blowing, at which point they’ll find, whoops! Turns out, DOGE firings, agency shutterings, etc were all illegal. Sadly it’s too late, but the next POTUS is stuck with this civil service, these approps, etc.

Excited for 2028 when some state SoS kicks Trump off the ballot, Federal district and appellate judges uphold it and then SCOTUS issues an unsigned 6-3 shadow docket rulling staying the lower court ruling, allowing Trump to stay on the ballot and schedules arguments for the case for February 2029.

They’re not “withholding the legal justification” for the strikes, they’re conspiring to hide the lack of one. There is no scenario where blowing these people up without any congressional authorization is legal. The president is just murdering people. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
