We'll find out what are they more afraid of

I'm wondering if Kegseth is hell-bent on going after Mark Kelly because he outranked him. Small men do that kind of thing.

Now, remind me again that non-Americans should mind their own business.

The FBI has officially opened inquiry into Sen. Elissa Slotkin, as confirmed by Sen. Slotkin. This is not a corrupt "administration," as it is not an administration. It is a gaggle of corrupt losers...enabling the most corrupt human being in the history of our country. #HOLDFAST

when its definitely not a hostage situation

109 years ago, New Yorkers glimpsed how World War I was militarizing police in the name of "preparedness" “New York’s police are becoming more militaristic all the time..With the mounted cops, the machine-gun cops.. New York cops are getting to look more like an army than a police force. WHAT FOR?"

NY FED: The rejection rate for all types of credit (auto loan, credit card, credit card limit increase, mortgage, mortgage refinance) over past 12 months rose to a series high of 24.8% in October. (via Liz Ann Sonders)

With important peace talks underway in Europe, the Trump admin sent the Army Secretary to represent the Pentagon since they can t trust unserious Hegseth not to embarrass them with his daily dipshittery. So they kept him home to threaten Mark Kelly with a court martial.

Art. I of the Constitution gives Congress the power to make rules and regulations for the armed forces — including codes of discipline and strictures against following illegal orders. You can’t punish members of Congress for articulating those rules. Also protected by Speech and Debate Clause.

Billionaire Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, pardoned by Donald Trump, has been accused of facilitating millions of dollars’ worth of payments to Hamas in the wake of its attack on Israel on October 7 2023. Zhao also financed the Trump family's entrance into the cryptocurrency market.

It's a scandal today as well It's just that everyone who should hold him accountable is bought and paid for At the moment anyway

To paraphrase Dennis Hopper in "Speed," in 249 years we've gone from "I regret but I have one life to give for my country" to "Quiet, piggy!"

Today is the anniversary of the British evacuating New York City after the end of the Revolutionary War. Here's how I learned about it: the piece that introduced me to the terrific work of @bencarp.bsky.social

Here it comes: the crisis wave of Americans making the tough choice to drop coverage — in the face or rising premiums. @reuters.com $XLV www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Someone needs to set up a camera so we'll know when Pete Hegseth orders this plaque removed from West Point.

Here’s the plaque at West Point with the relevant text highlighted

If you dare to displease the despot, you will be declared an enemy of the state and every lever of it will be deployed against you.

Oddly enough, in media coverage of Dems' video warning against carrying out illegal orders, there's very little discussion of *whether it's actually reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal commands or not.* The evidence is strong that he is. Media should say so: newrepublic.com/article/2035...

This will henceforth be known as #EpsteinManeuver As long as the investigation is ongoing, nothing can be made public And investigation can go on for as long as they want

3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers." We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

Librarians embody the best of America. There's no debate.

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

I think the damage is done, but also: do farmers in Missouri think it's OK to "ease off ICE raids" in their state, but not do the same in, say, Chicago?

The Secretary of Defense, ladies and gentlemen

TAKE ACTION! It's the final sprint before election day on December 2nd, and we're leaving it all on the field for @aftynbehn4tn. Sign up at tr.ee/final-sprint (linked in our bio) to get started. All you need is a phone and a zeal for action!

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is. There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Make America Suffer from for decades preventable diseases Again

NEW: Rep. Don Bacon tells @axios.com he was “so angry” last week about the Trump admin’s proposed Russia-Ukraine peace deal that he considered resigning in protest. He ultimately decided against it, he says, but not before giving Mike Johnson an earful. www.axios.com/2025/11/25/d...

Insanity

So I’ve made it official folks: I’ve filed the paperwork to run for Governor of Alabama. It’s time to remind this state of who we are and what we can accomplish together. #DougForAlabama

Funny story, Jim Justice used to be a billionaire and the richest person in West Virginia, but apparently he's now in so much debt that his net worth is "less than zero" according to Forbes: www.forbes.com/sites/christ...

Well, when you put it like that.....

JUST IN: Judge Chutkan orders expedited processing of a FOIA request for files related to DOJ's handling of the Epstein files. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

I’m done funding cruelty. Target cuts DEI, Amazon bankrolls this administration, and Home Depot lets ICE terrorize workers on their lots. My money stays with small shops and people-first businesses. How about you? #WeAintBuyingIt

Are you a business that's colluding with ICE? Caving to the biased attacks on DEI? Funding this administration for tax cuts? Guess what? #WeAintBuyingIt Nov 27–Dec 1, instead we are putting our money where are values are.

@jamescdownie.bsky.social is still right. This is from July. Epstein begets corruption begets as cost crisis.

Good

Just a heads up: He prosecuted two KKK members who committed the 16th Baptist Church (Birmingham) bombing

This is a crazy story: ICE/CBP took a Coast Guard Rescue helicopter from this shall town in Oregon. The major industry is harvesting Dungeness Crab which is dangerous, the Coast Guard is needed for rescues. www.opb.org/article/2025...

SNL doing Weekend Update on a Monday

Going to war as "a favor to our oil companies" used to be something Republicans vigorously denied.

Elect 🤡s, expect a 🎪 (to be honest, it will be a miracle if there are no dead people by the time these bastards are thrown out)
