I gather that Musk just accidentally made the mistake of revealing how many “MAGA” accounts are actually posting from outside the US.

The entire world is perplexed because the President of the United States appeared cordial in one meeting. That’s how crazy this timeline is.

This is fu*king outrageous! The federal government on Saturday dismissed charges against a Utah plastic surgeon accused of throwing away COVID-19 vaccines, giving children saline shots instead of the vaccine and selling faked vaccination cards. apnews.com/article/utah...

Nice, Madam mayor. 🔥 @wutrain.bsky.social

President insists his word is the one and only law in this land.

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand. The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

LULA: “.. [Trump] is trying to preach the end of multilateralism, trying to strengthen unilateralism. I think multilateralism will win.” @reuters.com 🇧🇷 www.reuters.com/world/americ...

“.. The meeting took place in Miami at the end of October and included special envoy Steve Witkoff, .. Jared Kushner and Dmitriev, who leads .. one of Russia's largest sovereign wealth funds.” @reuters.com #Ukraine www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Preaching to the choir but please don’t post on Twitter. It’s been on a one way street to hell the minute Musk got involved.

As followers know I often post about Trump’s flimsy daily schedule. Yesterday the White House just couldn’t be bothered. A toxic combination of lazy and incompetent grifters hold the reins of power.

Comical.

“.. her announcement, arguing that the Republican Party under Mr. Trump has lost its way, is a signal of how some conservatives are slowly imagining a future where his priorities, whims and vendettas no longer steer their movement.” @nytimes.com #GA14 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/22/u...

This is actually a fascinating “cost of labor in the tech sector” dataset…

2022 vs. 2025. 🤡

When will Elon pay the tariffs on all his imported tweets?

the last 24 hours on X, summed up:

Saying "vaccines are safe" is an irrelevant detail when you voted to hand all of the US government's health organizations over to someone who adamantly insists they are not.

Who’s this friend?

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.* The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

This is the pattern: ICE/CBP initiate violence toward observers and protestors, then they claim they were assaulted in order to use the threat of prison to silence dissent. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa...

Rounds: Senator Shaheen mentioned that Secretary Rubio did make a phone call to us this afternoon. I think he made it very clear that we are the recipients of a proposal that was delivered to one of our representatives. It is not our recommendation. It is not our peace plan.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends. We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over. We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Amid a deepening ecological crisis and acute water shortage, Tehran can no longer remain the capital of Iran, the country’s president has said. www.scientificamerican.com/article/iran...

"I don't care" should be ICE's official motto.

we appear to be on to version six of this story

Fast-casual salad chain Sweetgreen is struggling as its traffic and sales continue to fall and it reports millions in losses each quarter. The company hasn’t figured out how to turn a profit.

2/2 "The phrase," Caixin notes, "immediately sparked heated online debate and various interpretations. This wording is unusual, which raises the question: Is a “large-scale return” already happening, or are there warning signs?"

1/2 Caixin: "An official from China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs recently stated at a national conference on rural employment that the government must “prevent a large-scale return and idling of migrant workers in their hometowns.”" www.caixinglobal.com/2025-11-21/c...

We really can’t get enough of these

“.. There’s just so much nervousness in the office,” said a second former official. “The mood is, we don’t even know if what we’re doing is legal.” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Incredible.

I held this post up to the light.

He's never looked at his own sons like this.

“Trump looks like he’s taken a love potion, and the first person he saw was Zohran” lol, perfect

“I’ve got the best poll numbers I’ve ever had! Red hot!!!”

Pretty well established finding that immigration raids of workplaces reduce student test performance for nearby schools, including for non-vulnerable students. The general DHS surge appears to be doing the same for student performance. www.nber.org/papers/w34452

Hopefully, the Republicans who always opposed the murderous Russian aggression will finally seize this moment of Trump's political instability to press him to give up on forcing Ukraine and our NATO allies to cave, and instead put the screws to Putin which he's always had the power to do.
