“The libs are letting peons in by the tens of millions, who are then using their low wages to buy 600k houses.”

I see people freaking out about this, but a few things. 1 Texas GOP says this every new election cycle. It’s a Lucy football. 2. Dan Patrick, the lt. governor and emperor of the tx senate, already said no. 3. Even if they did do this, this would have to raise the sales tax to 30 percent.

If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?

I saw Bill Clinton was trending and assumed that he was in the Epstein emails, so I looked it up. Turns out he is but absolutely NOT in the way I expected. Yikes.

If you have to get permission to teach in your area of expertise from people who are definitionally not qualified to adjudicate your expertise then you are no longer working at a university. You’re working at a state propaganda factory.

Can anyone verify?

What is going on at A&M is insane, but creating a website where students can rat on their profs and feeding course syllabi to AI is practically demanding that profs and mid-level admins look for employment elsewhere www.texastribune.org/2025/11/13/t...

Indeed. I go out of my way to avoid sending emails unless absolutely necessary and these people were treating them like texting

we have an addiction in America when we have a crime syndicate in control of the federal government and people still think they are the ones who are tough on crime.

Vance hadn’t posted in two days. For someone as terminally online as he is that is a lifetime.

Some Dems and pundits overread the significance of Trump's win. They looked at dissatisfaction with the border and discerned a seismic cultural reaction to immigration levels inside the country. The former was real. The latter is a mirage. (h/t @gelliottmorris.com) newrepublic.com/article/2030...

Trump’s response to a crisis, aside from lashing out, is to start a brush fire to distract. Considering the shit storm he’s trying to distract from, he’s liable to invade Venezuela and/or arrest Obama.

The worse a QB plays, the more godly he becomes. That’s a law of the universe.

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

it's fascinating watching a guy you think is basically 100% wrong come to the right analysis

And it’s signed. 218.

lol. Lmao.

“Who amongst us, amirite?”

Remember he imposed tariffs on Brazil for the sole purpose of trying to pressure the Brazilian government to lay off Bolsonaro.

Oh he’s SCARED scared

Lest there be any insinuation that Dems spared their own. It would be tough for Kathy Ruemmler—Obama’s WH Counsel from 2011 to mid-2014—to come off looking worse in these docs the committee Dems released. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Let me get this straight, the criminal enterprise has a fixer named Mr. Wolff

I wouldn’t be surprised if Johnson doesn’t call them back until January

Jesse literally “works” at his dads construction company

A perjurer is caught lying?!?

Releasing these the day that the government is scheduled to reopen is 🔥🔥🔥

This is what trying to cut your losses before a far right SCOTUS does it for you. China got their humiliating-for-Trump deal JUST BEFORE SCOTUS made it clear he was likely to lose leverage anyway.

Another banger from the cool kids philosopher

People are claiming this is a shift to the left by the conference, but I don’t agree. It’s just old school Catholicism: you can’t turn away from what this administration is doing to immigrants and claim you are pro life.

lol you love to see it Vance can’t turn on Trump but the longer he stays hitched to him the more unpopular he’ll become.

Exactly what you want to hear from the secretary of transportation just as travel season kicks off.

this is about where I’m at the level of incandescent rage at Dem leadership is as high as I’ve ever seen and it’s not the rage of a population that is ready to go “well, I wanted to fight Trump but Schumer sucks so I guess fascism it is” but primaries are going to start looking a lot different

We’re watching Joyce Carol Oates slowly torture a Boer to death in real-time

we’re about to start seeing a lot of “here’s a cost effective meal your grandparents made during the great depression”

This is only a contrarian view on a website that has full on lost its mind.

As bad as Ailes was, he was smart enough to realize you shouldn't announce that you were abandoning journalistic standards in advance of doing so.

Still sitting in my library, unplayed 😭😭😭

This point absolutely correct and I will add that Mamdani demonstrates that an insurgency, even one with real moral clarity and anger at the status quo, can still be cheerful and inviting.

I’m starting to come around to the possibility that, assuming the hopes of a blue tsunami comes true and Dems take back both chambers, Trump will resign before the new congress gavels in.

Now that Dems have capitulated, at the very least they should now make every future extension of funding contingent on Trump following the law. Any lawbreaking must be met with: No more votes from us, period. My exchange with @brianbeutler.bsky.social on that point: newrepublic.com/article/2029...

“No more lessons about race or gender, but nothing will happen to you if you do”

“There is plenty of money to give everyone checks AND have some left over, but being forced to pay it back would financially ruin us”

lol what the fuck?!

I think rather than knowing where people stand it's getting the health care support that's critical. We already know where the Republicans. They don't want to help people. Your job is to make them. You had leverage. Now you don't.

Not only that: it sets up SCTOUS as the perfect foil: if/when the tariffs are struck down he can say “welp, I tried but the radical left SCOTUS said no”

If he does end up pardoning her it does confirm that he is definitely terminal

New: The Supreme Court DENIES Kim Davis' request to overturn Obergefell, the marriage equality decision. No noted dissents. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

If moderate Dems are as scared of a leftist tea party movement as reports say they are, last night did not help. At all.
