Customers just don’t come back. Trump policies are crushing Ohio and American farmers. And one-time money isn’t enough to make up for the decimation that’s already happened, let alone to solve the ongoing problem. ALL of this is self-inflicted.

Fox has devoted just over 6 minutes of airtime to the Hernández pardon since Trump announced his intention to pardon the notorious drug trafficker 12 days ago.

RFK Jr. just pushed our public health system off a cliff.

Colorado’s Democratic secretary of state vehemently rejected the DOJ’s unprecedented request for her state’s unredacted, private voter data, asserting she would not help Trump “hurt the American people.”

And there's the motive.

Thank you, Federalist Society, for giving us a bench of jurists who believe that the emanations of 1789 have a greater claim to law than the laws passed by Congress and signed by the president.

Run for Congress!

🚨Any Lucia López Belloza planned to surprise her Texas family for Thanksgiving. Instead, she was stopped at Logan and deported to Honduras within about 48 hours, despite an emergency federal stay issued after her arrest, her lawyer says. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/deported-i...

Not the biggest thing right now but my cheap La Quinta motel in Kenner - heart of the Latino community - blacks out MSNBC because we can’t expose visitors to the radical center-left I forgot they do this in red states

For those unfamiliar with the law of war, the Court Martial manual makes this clear: targeting of civilians is prohibited by law (Section 4.3.3) media.defense.gov/2023/Jul/31/...

They will willingly and happily throw anyone under the bus to save themselves. This admiral needs to speak out but they probably already forced him to sign a NDA. Probably threatening him and his family to take whatever happens and roll with it even if it’s a prison term.

You may have heard that DOGE is dead. Well @makenakelly.bsky.social and @telliotter.bsky.social are here to show you that's just not true, with many of the same young engineers—including Big Balls—still working at the heart of the US government www.wired.com/story/what-i...

We are fiercely, steadfastly, unapologetically anti-fascist, and you know why, Donald? Because Americans are f*ckin’ supposed to be. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/were-all-a...

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

NEW: Contrary to some recent news reports, DOGE isn’t dead. Far from it. read @makenakelly.bsky.social and @telliotter.bsky.social for more on what DOGE operatives are doing in government now:

NEW: Another purge of immigration judges just happened, this time in New York City. This latest purge includes one of the smartest people I know, an immigration judge who dutifully served on the bench for 10 years. She was unceremoniously fired in violation of civil service laws.

The DJT administration fired 8 immigration judges in NYC today. All the judges were dismissed from the immigration court’s offices at 26 Federal Plaza, a building that houses the NYC headquarters ICE and has become the epicenter of migrant arrests in the city.

He scammed over 1,000 people, most of whom were not wealthy - veterans, farmers, teachers, nurses, small businesses owners. Some lost everything. But he’s a rich Republican, so Trump let him get away with it. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/u...

3/That’s what the special operations commander overseeing the attack did. After the initial hit, live drone feed showed two survivors clinging to the wreckage. The commander “ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions … The two men were blown apart in the water.”

1/ You must refuse illegal orders.” That’s what 6 Democratic members of Congress said on video. Trump called it seditious. The FBI launched an investigation. Then came reporting in WAPO about an order SecDef Hegseth gave ahead of the 9/2 attack on a boat allegedly trafficking drugs in the Caribbean.

NEW from me: the Trump administration is moving new chemicals that have some link to data centers to the front of the line for approvals — creating huge loopholes to push all kinds of chemicals through, experts tell me, under potential political pressure

National Guard members were not getting shot in DC under Joe Biden.

🚨NEWS: Exxon is now petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to grant corporations a new First Amendment right to avoid disclosing how much toxic pollution they are spewing and how much they are incinerating the atmosphere that supports all life on the planet.

Container ports are on the front lines of Trump’s trade wars

Trump continued his efforts to dismantle the Department of Education this week by moving two crucial offices into other federal agencies. Why is he determined to gut education? It’s all part of his attack on not just what we do — but what we think. https://youtu.be/rEH7sF6pA4s?si=IY6HM-j-sSmjVW3_

🚨Using any kind of chemical weapons at this range is aggravated assault against peaceful protesters. They have no weapons, they pose no threat. ICE is the enemy. 1/2
