Good morning to all my new followers! For those who don’t know, here’s my origin story:

If yesterday’s $12 billion farm bailout feels familiar, it’s because we’ve seen this movie before. During Trump 1.0, his tariff war with China collapsed soybean exports. Farm bankruptcies went through the roof, and taxpayers ended up footing the bill. 🧵1/3

Jesus Fuck, US SOCOM is using Hegseth's crusader tattoo in their social media posts Seems pretty clear that the entire Trump administration hired outright Nazis to run their social channels

So many new followers! 🫨 I guess it’s a good time to re-post my origin story

And now, here’s Leonard Nimoy with our forecast for the next four years

I might post this every goddamn day for the next four years

@therealjourneyman.bsky.social 💙 May I call you Marlon? 😊💙 First let me say I'm with you. I could not, will not, do jail! However, tRump's 'friends' aren't concerned; they'll betting on two things: 1. tRump (and they) will get away with it; always does. 2. tRump will pardon them.

Nobody’s talking about this, but thanks to the $2B deal between the Polymarket and the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), by the midterms we may have a major U.S. exchange operator distributing real-time predictions of political outcomes as *official market data.* 🧵1/3 ir.theice.com/press/news-d...

I joked about this it during yesterday’s chat with @extremearturo.bsky.social, but at this point you have to wonder why so many folks are unfazed by potential of loss of livelihood, not to mention possibility of incarceration as a result of their association with Trump.

Me: I’m gonna have a good day today Politics:The fck you are

FOX: “Congressman Jim Himes (D) said they were shown the unedited video of that second strike — he says, 'What I saw in that room is one of the most troubling scenes I've ever seen in my time in public service.’”

TRUMP, MADURO DISCUSSED POSSIBLE MEETING IN US: NYT

My latest is on how I learned the recipe for a holiday favorite open.substack.com/pub/thejourn...

A Thanksgiving dinner Public Service Announcement: DO NOT EXPERIMENT

Thread. 🧵

Trump's redistricting push fuels N.C. GOP's bid to capture a U.S. House seat for the 2026 midterms.

I will be blacking out all corporate owned large retailers, however, I will shop at local small businesses on Saturday in solidarity with my community. NO Amazon, Target or Home Depot this holiday season for me.

Carney: We know that this decades-long process of our ever-closer economic relationship between Canada and the US has ended. And as a consequence of that, many of our strengths have become our vulnerabilities, particularly in those industries that are most tightly integrated with the US….

Nothing like this has ever happened before; not even during black swan events like 9/11, the financial crisis, or the global pandemic. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/thejourn...

"The single biggest mass separation event in modern federal history will never appear anywhere: not in payroll data, not in sector detail, not in revisions—nowhere."

Boy, this is a gut punch. Fani *had* this asshole www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Well done and well deserved!

I hope waking up to see Bill Maher, Lara Trump, and Bari Weiss’s names all in the same headline isn’t a harbinger of how today will unfold www.mediaite.com/online/bill-...

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

If Hassett is the serious frontrunner for Fed Chair, this isn’t a monetary policy choice. It’s a loyalty test. A Fed Chair who bends to Trump’s political needs ain’t “reforming” the Fed, it’s erasing its independence. Markets will absolutely price that in. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Pretty remarkable that Trump has installed someone on the Saudi dole — Jared Kushner collects millions in fees from the Saudis every year — in a key role for America's most sensitive and consequential foreign policy negotiations (Gaza, Ukraine), and it is largely TREATED AS A NON-STORY

Great, eye opening article. I follow Mr Weems on Substack because he’s an expert but doesn’t use so much markets & economic jargon that I can’t wrap my art major head around what he’s explaining. thejourneyman.substack.com?r=ab81u

I get that part of the media cycle is for deep thinkers to come up with global Takes on what the Nuzzi outrage means for our culture, but...like, the main thing to me seems to be that she helped whitewash a genocidal eugenicist? who is killing people? right now?

A President Who Wants Political Enemies Dead www.blueamp.co/p/impeach-co... Superb, by Shuster: "Since the beginning of the great American experiment..cynics described democracy as pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. By that measure, Trump’s rise/power are a grim joke"

This should be a bigger scandal. It isn't going to go away. Why did Huckabee meet with Pollard, a traitor who sold out US secrets to Israel, and has never expressed true regret for his actions? www.axios.com/2025/11/21/m...

I mean, wtf kind of cologne is Mamdani wearing

That time I was having a serious conversation and unconsciously lifted an analogy from The Mothman Prophecies

REP. RAMIREZ: “Tear gassing a 1 year old 🇺🇸 citizen… Dragging a citizen on her way to work out of her car… Throwing tear gas at a children’s Halloween parade… It’s time to have a serious conversation about defunding ICE.”

We've had enough consolidation of media, already. This is too much! Skydance needs to f-ck all the way off, and WBD needs to find a way to stay afloat without selling out. WTAF?

The global oligarchy are on a mission to take all.

While Trump was kissing MBS’s ass yesterday, a report dropped that several Gulf sovereign wealth funds—including Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund are part of Paramount Skydance consortium gearing up to make a $71B bid for Warner Brothers Discovery. www.barchart.com/story/news/3...

🧵 GOP leaders are backing the Trump administration's plans to kill shareholder democracy. Shareholders of 30 corporations voted 30-0 to defeat anti-DEI proposals during 2025 proxy season, most by 98-99% A "Senate source" falsely said "diminished returns" result from DEI, per Washington Reporter.
