The power of Ukrainian democracy is a sight to behold. And Trump wants to take millions of people from Ukrainian democracy and gift them to dictatorial Russia.

An imperial message www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/11/an-i... “35 years in academia have honed my plagiarism detector [and] there’s no way in hell that Demented Donnie actually composed [this, given the] vocabulary, relative coherence etc.” Reading those blue books all those years. Believe him

He is talking about Musk, Thiel, and Sacks?

Witkoff advised the Russians on how to pitch their Ukraine plan to Trump www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

There is never any daylight between the positions of Russia and JD Vance.

this kind of thing also happens every day

also they mostly aren't "peace talks," they are talks about how to re-open US/Russia business deals

OF COURSE the leaked transcript was an attempt to disrupt damaging US-Russian peace talks, which are extremely dangerous for Europe and Ukraine www.nbcnews.com/world/russia...

Steve Witkoff isn’t promoting peace. His interventions are helping Vladimir Putin and prolonging the war www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵

You don't have to make a moral argument, a pragmatic argument will do

"a Russian military victory in Ukraine is not inevitable, and a rapid Russian seizure of the rest of Donetsk Oblast is not imminent" and the US officials who keep saying so are repeating Russian propaganda

"We followed everything we were supposed to do" Legitimate green card applicants with US spouses are being arrested by armed, masked men at scheduled immigration interviews, taken away from their children, sent to prison www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Feels like a deep state conspiracy

An amazing new Trump controversy, Part II of II: - Saturday afternoon: Trump says he spoke to Bolsonaro the night before and planned to see him “in the very near future” - Monday afternoon: The Trump White House isn’t sure whether Trump actually had the conversation he referenced two days earlier

Must be nice to have a real supreme court

Heres steve witkoff helping the Russians, get a deal with Donald Trump

“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.” “‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

In case you’re wondering

everyone knows the number one quality of rigorous, responsible journalism is waiting months and months to reveal urgently newsworthy information until it can cause the most harm in your personal vendettas

Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her roles in “Northern Exposure,” “Smoke Signals,” “Wyvern” and “The Last of Us,” handed them her tribal ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon. Yet, Miles recalled one agent calling it “fake.”

This Year, the Billionaires Give Thanks for Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/o... @mollyjongfast.bsky.social

Trump keeps saying wildly inappropriate things to journalists but I’m sure he’s totally fine

Worse yet, they say, it’s coming even before cuts to Medicaid in President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act take effect and the potential expiration of Obamacare subsidies at year’s end. The charities are warning of exploding medical debt and lower survival rates for diseases like…

The spirit of Thanksgiving has infused the White House press office today, bringing us together in a blessed moment of harmony and goodwill.

I wrote about billionaires and thanksgiving and Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/o...

Remember when Tulsi Gabbard said this? And Trump reposted it.

If the Epstein estate has the real files, when the doj releases the redacted ones, will someone from the estate release the real ones?

As a longtime Northern Exposure fan, this is BS

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell. Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

To where? They are in thier OWN COUNTRY. How about Russian military units withdraw to pre-Crimean invasion borders?

I was right

This is a really big story that should not be missed. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Not only is food more expensive, it is much more likely to make you sick and harm you, or give your baby botulism

I’m convinced you have to put “awful human being” on your resume to get a job as a Republican. www.rawstory.com/turning-poin...

The humiliation ritual is complete: “We have this joke that I’m not really a speaker of the House,” Mr. Johnson, who represents Louisiana, said in the latest episode of “The Katie Miller Podcast.”

It is a bit alarming, when rereading Machiavelli's The Prince, that it lands as reportage rather than political theory. However, I find great comfort in the fact that they are really effing it up.

- He stopped the policy of encouraging flu immunization in Louisiana - Delayed reporting on a pertussis outbreak that killed two children in Louisiana. -Promoted false information on covid vaccine harms. He is now number 2 at CDC. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.

If this is true, every halfway decent foreign intelligence service on the planet already has the receipts ….

We killed how many cancer research trials to pay for this?

And it only cost Americans a quarter billion in taxpayer money

Could mean election fraud, could mean just … what? Pathetic. Objectively pro crime.

Under President Trump, electricity prices are surging — up 11%! — leaving millions behind on their utility bills, with past-due balances at an all-time high. American families deserve better.

How have things reached a state where I miss Coolidge?

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?
