It’s really not fully Thanksgiving without "WKRP in Cincinnati"’s “As God is my witness” clip. “…like SACKS OF WET CEMENT!" youtu.be/lf3mgmEdfwg?...

Trump has made it clear during this shutdown that he’s willing to let people go hungry if it advances his political agenda. That’s not leadership—that’s negligence.

Why is EPA approving new ☠️ for 🥦🥬 & 🥔 ? We know PFAS cause cancer & birth defects and damage our livers & immune systems. EPA also announced plans to relax a rule requiring companies to report all products containing PFAS & proposed weakening drinking 💦 standards as well. 🎁 #MAHA, oh really?

Elon believes the US doesn't have enough mass incarceration. His awfulness is boundless.

Trump judges to rule presidents can ban reporters for disagreeing with them viewpoint discrimination as official policy. Judge asked if White House could bar citizens from tours based on politics; DOJ said yes. First Amendment dies at the Oval Office door if courts allow this. Press freedom, gone.

First they push 24% of rangers out the door, and tell us we can’t hire anyone to backfill those positions. Then, they tell us to fill those positions with seasonal (temporary) rangers—the positions in the NPS with the least protections.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

NEW — South Shore residents who still live in the apartment building that was raided by ICE nearly two months ago in Chicago spoke out about the unlivable conditions there. “No one paid attention to the fact that people were living here without heat before ICE came.” thetriibe.com/2025/11/buil...
