The open disregard for judicial decisions and orders is being normalized more every day

Biden: So, folks, that's my message to all of us today, to all who love our country, to all of us are dismayed by the present state of the union: it's time to get up, get up and fight back. Get up. Continue to fight. What's the fight all about? Protecting the constitution.

Sens. Tim Kaine, Rand Paul, Chuck Schumer, and Adam Schiff have filed a War Powers Resolution to block the use of the U.S. Armed Forces to engage in hostilities within or against Venezuela unless authorized by Congress.

Trump attacked Colorado Governor Jared Polis for refusing to spring Tina Peters out of jail

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.

Scoop: FBI aims to escalate its inquiry into 6 Democrats who made video for troops by pressing domestic terrorism squad to launch a formal seditious conspiracy investigation. Washington Field Office leaders are pushing back b/c they don't see a crime. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in Nov. That's the 4th negative number in past 6 months. The estimate was for +40,000, so the street was off ... this may be coming from being hammered by the tariffs"

"Trump and his top aides are re-creating in America the conditions and terrors of failed states," George Packer writes, by "erasing the distinction between the perpetrators and victims of violence":

"If we are now at the point where the federal government is deploying agents on legal American citizens w/ a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out." Jacob Frey

Bond investors have told the US Treasury they are concerned about Kevin Hassett’s potential appointment as Federal Reserve chair, worrying he will cut interest rates aggressively to please President Donald Trump.

Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

"We acknowledge the family was separated by ICE, but ICE doesn't separate families." 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Wow. "It gives me no pleasure to say what I’m about to say because I worked with Pete Hegseth for seven or eight years at Fox News. This is an act of a war crime .... There’s absolutely no legal basis for it.” - Newsmax's Judge Napolitano

Nato considering ‘pre-emptive’ action against Russia’s hybrid warfare attacks

And Hegseth said at the time that he watched the attack *live*. If he watched it live, then he either gave the orders or knew exactly what orders were given that day. www.foxnews.com/media/hegset...

As a disabled veteran the behavior of Hegseth and Trump has been criminal and destructive to our standing in the international community. Nobody believes that what's happening is legal and above the law from these two men and they're guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity as well! 💙🇺🇸💙

Aaaaaand…this is exactly why the six lawmakers needed to remind servicemembers about not obeying unlawful orders (this will get driven home when Hegseth gets a pardon but no one else does)

Universities can't function if they're constantly running scared of an online cancel factory and spineless politicians who won't push back. Should this student have received a bad grade? Don't know. Should the governor of the state be commenting on it? Absolutely not. www.oudaily.com/news/ou-stat...

Trump frees New York private equity executive who defrauded victims of $1.6B

Something is going on with bitcoin tonight

Everyone saw this coming. Trump stiffed his contractors, then fell out w/his architect because he refused to back his demand for a ballroom bigger than the WH. And those corporate donations he keeps bragging about are pledges, not real money. Taxpayers will end up on the hook one way or another.

Government actors who refuse to be bound by the rule of law are not morally entitled to its protection.

A JANUARY 6 insurrectionist pardoned by Donald Trump, Andrew Paul Johnson, HAS BEEN ARRESTED FOR MOLESTING AN 11-YEAR-OLD BOY.

Alina Habba’s parents emigrated to the US from Iraq citing persecution.

The house and senate have both expressed interest in investigating the strike on survivors of the first boat strike. Both Hegseth and adm Bradley will need to answer some questions. This is why a reminder to not follow illegal orders is important

The EPA is prioritizing review of new chemicals to be used in data centers. Experts say this could lead to the fast approval of new types of forever chemicals—with limited oversight.

Amazon workers go on strike world-wide. “From Germany to Bangladesh, thousands of workers walked off the job on Friday and marched against Amazon’s labor practices to push for better wages, working conditions, and union protections." www.commondreams.org/news/make-am...

This is essentially Vinay Prasad, who has an MD, declaring his intent to use the government to torture children to dead via preventable disease by knowingly withholding the cure. To call this despicable is an understatement.

In 2022, Biden earmarked billions of dollars to help former coal communities. It was the largest investment in Appalachia since LBJ's 1960s’ war on poverty. But Trump won West Virginia 70% to 28% in 2024. And now he's taking away the funding Biden gave them. When are they going to learn?

The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of: -ABC, which bribed the president -CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans -WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor Fools.

Just so embarrassing that this is an official White House page. So thin skinned. Media Offenders – The White House share.google/X5AvuObjjSHk...

we put these people in harms way when they helped us now we want to leave them out in the cold

❗️Prime Minister of Poland Tusk: I wish to remind our allies that NATO was created to defend the West against the Soviet aggression, that is against Russia. And its foundation was solidarity, not selfish interests. I hope that nothing has changed.

I hope it’s now (even more) obvious that having military in our streets, with instructions to ignore “stupid rules of engagement,” is not in any way intended to protect us or make us safer

If we want to break the carceral system that disproportionately harms the poor and people of color, every person charged with a misdemeanor should DEMAND a jury trial. It would gum up the works in a major major way.

The body cams don’t lie. Judge Ellis exposed unprovoked force by ICE agents and reports rewritten to cover it. There is no defending this.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

"If Trump wins, the Fed’s vaunted independence to set interest rates without political interference could crumble," Bryan Mena writes | Analysis

GUARDIAN: “Per head, 🇺🇸 output is six times China’s, and yet, inexplicably, there seem to be more abjectly poor Americans than Chinese. 🇺🇸 inequality is breathtaking… keeps getting worse…” Wanting to address this isn’t radical. NOT wanting to is. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Good Journal reporting on amoral corruption. Gift link: Make Money Not War: Trump’s Real Plan for Peace in Ukraine: The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board. www.wsj.com/world/russia...

In the modern history of the USA, no President has ever cancelled the GDP and jobs report. Like ever. The data delays are about the true state of the economy, at a time when Trump continues to highlight strong growth while concerns over affordability and unemployment persist.

This is a highly unusual order from a Secretary of Defense, and it’s almost certainly a war crime. In the strike in question, two people survived and were clinging to the side of the ruined boat, and a second mission was spun up to execute them.

I find this so repugnant for so many reasons. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/u...

I am deeply ashamed of my alma mater. Northwestern, you are dead to me. I am headed to the basement to find my diploma and rip it in two. Northwestern strikes deal with Trump administration to restore federal funding dailynorthwestern.com/2025/11/28/c...
