Marjorie Taylor Greene managed to tolerate being subjected to the sort of abuse, that she has subjected trans people to for years, for approximately one week.

“The fact that a former debauched game-show host, who is somehow once again the sitting US president, can do that, and have it register in our national consciousness and media not as a presidency-ending scandal but as just another Thursday, is a profound indictment of us all.” @swin24.bsky.social

I have never been a supporter of Donald Trump, but if he won’t walk back his praise of Zohran Mamdani, I will have no choice but to stop secretly voting for him and funding his campaigns.

Everyone reading that new Lizza post like Herzog listening to the bear attack recording

Useful @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social analysis of Trump proposal on Russia, skewering it point-by-point in an easily digestible way: www.arcdigital.media/p/trump-and-...

What is seditious behavior? "Conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch." What an irony that Trump thinks this should be punished with death, since that's exactly what he was found guilty of for "incitement of insurrection" in his second impeachment.

If the government won't bail out my crypto losses, I'm going to become an even bigger libertarian.

On the patently unlawful boat strikes It's hard for USGs to claim ‘mistake of law’ or ‘advice of counsel’ – when they’re firing lawyers who wouldn't sign off on the strikes. WaPo's new revelations on firings or removals: 1) CIA General Counsel 2) NSC Legal Adviser 3) CIA Mission Center’s lawyer 🧵

We're not experiencing cognitive dissonance! They are! Its them that are torn apart by this and don't know how to resolve the internal conflict!

Every story on Page One in Charlotte is about ICE/immigration: @charlotteobserver.com

Brexit has caused almost twice as much damage to the UK economy than estimated by official forecasts, according to new paper from a group of experts including a senior Bank of England economist

Even Fox News polling finds that voters believe the Trump White House is doing more harm than good on the economy. ➡️Twice as many say Trump, rather than Biden, is responsible for the current economy ➡️Three times as many say Trump’s economic policies have hurt them www.foxnews.com/politics/fox...

Remember a few weeks ago when Trump brought in a couple bulldozers and demolished about a third of the White House? That was weird.

The first independent poll of this election has me tied for first place!

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos. I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

"Trump’s invasion of NC has been met w/ rapidly organized opposition & is likely to result in another political backfire in a state with a critical upcoming Senate race. Much of the resistance emanates from churches, demonstrating again how repulsed many Americans are by Trump’s war on the nation."

Personally I think a sitting president calling for the execution of members of Congress is A1 scream headline news, but what do I know

This is mind-boggling it needs to be IMMEDIATE.💔

I promise I will always cause an uproar when it comes to Social Security and healthcare in general. NEVER GIVE UP! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

THIS is how you talk to voters.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

When enough people use their voice to resist the Trump administration, working Americans can protect their benefits and win. This reversal is good news for thousands of Americans who count on Social Security Disability Insurance.

From the Trump administration's filing at the Supreme Court:

Honestly feels pretty good to know my book sold way better than a dickhead senator’s book

Support Independent Media. Our future depends on it.

OPINION: "Catherine Lucey is a dogged reporter. I used to work with her when she was at the Philadelphia Daily News. She isn’t about to let the president’s schoolyard taunts stop her." — Inquirer columnist Jenice Armstrong

President Donald Trump on Thursday attacked six Democratic members of Congress, including two from Pennsylvania, saying they were seditious and should be punished "by death" after they urged members of the military to refuse illegal orders.

This is the first story I ever did that got more than a million views

"It’s impossible to imagine today’s crisis without the Roberts court having first undermined the foundations of our democracy." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump take Thanksgiving

Donald Trump has now officially passed Obama's eight-year total of rounds of golf — in less than five years. I've added a chart to my tracker of Trump's golf/property visits to show just how far past Obama he's getting. www.pbump.net/o/an-officia...

An important piece of reporting. Even congressional Republicans wanted to include appropriations-bill language to protect Congress's power of the purse. But Russ Vought has pressured them to cut the language, and the House Republicans rolled over. www.notus.org/congress/mar...

In case data-centers weren’t politically toxic enough already. @techcrunch.com techcrunch.com/2025/11/19/r...

Nerd malpractice of the highest order that I forgot to append this. Management regrets the error. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtgK...

Every day there is a scandal that, in every other administration in history, would be its demise.

That's a tad more than "botched paperwork."

"a 2000s housing bubble level of financial engineering on top of a 1920s level of private unregulated lending on top of something bigger than a 1990s internet (or 1870s railroad) level of technology and infrastructure build-out. It’s one bubble to rule them all."

This can't appear on the ballot until May 2026, and as such would be too late to affect eligibility to run in the primary to replace retiring Cong. Dwight Evans. (If enacted earlier, it would have opened up the field to do so.) 2/2

We’ve already seen how smart clean-energy rules can spur investment and build out our EV infrastructure to scale. The admin is reversing progress, but @betonyjones.bsky.social's brief shows how states can pick up the baton. Good read in @politico.com: www.politico.com/news/magazin...

We hear that Putin and Trump (or their emissaries) have been secretly consulting about a settlement to the war. Given the inherent traps of allowing an aggressor to decide the outcome of his war, I try here to give a sense of how negotiations might actually work. snyder.substack.com/p/how-to-neg...

Trump's approval is in the high 30s and the generic ballot is tilting heavily Dem *prior* to the effects of the BBB kicking in and the economic contraction that is likely to result from a myriad of things like less money to spend because of higher insurance premiums.

An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

judges always like that

My terrorism class finished a section on jihadists and is now discussing white nationalists, and it occurred to me that in some states (Florida? Texas?) I might not be allowed to teach about the latter, since it mentions race, and doesn't balance it out with pro-white-nationalist-terrorism readings.

I don't generally believe in the concept of Evil, but I really am at a loss for words as to how else to describe this picture of two insufferable, murderous pricks deflecting questions as they sit in some gold covered vegas lounge. 🤮

Jim Jordan begged someone to not rat out the sexual assault that was happening at Ohio State. He was crying on the phone. Groveling. This man threw out all his dignity to try and cover for horrifying crimes of sexual abuse. Think about that for a moment.

this is the correct framing

It may be that California will shed a bunch of Republican districts and Texas will not be able to gerrymander their districts. Poetic.

We live in hell
