In case it wasn’t already clear - cbs is fox now under Bari Weiss

Congratulations to Eileen Higgins on being elected Mayor of Miami! The first Democrat elected to this position in decades, she understands what politics is about: building a safer, more affordable, and better everyday life.

Democrat Eileen Higgins will be the next mayor of the city of Miami, according to a projection from CNN’s Decision Desk, breaking a nearly 30-year Republican streak.

A huge night for Democrats: —They flip Miami's mayorship. —They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%. —They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council. —And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move

The only conclusion I can draw from this is that there is something physically wrong and cognitively wrong with Trump, he knows it, and he's angry and frightened.

Mark Zuckerberg believed in the Metaverse so much he changed his company's name to "Meta" in 2021 and spent over $70 billion on this fantastical virtual reality chat space that has less functionality than VR Chat. Now, in 2025, he doesn't even mention it. And investors still give him money to burn

don't worry, john roberts says this is a legitimate exercise of presidential power and if we did anything to curb it, we would be robbing the executive of the energy he needs to do his job

Just a top to bottom scam, to raise money for a candidate who can’t run again.

An organization of historic levels of corruption — see: www.libraryjournal.com/review/red-c... — propping up an administration engaged in historic levels of corruption with a cartoonishly corrupt "prize." It was inevitable!

Mandatory online age authentication makes almost everyone worse off--except age authentication vendors, who will celebrate their concern about children's welfare at their black-tie industry awards gala + after-party (seats cost 250£ & up; photos cost extra) 🤮 events.ringcentral.com/events/indus...

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

Looking forward to this clown running the fed.

Today's absurd sci-fi headline that's somehow our reality: Fact-checkers barred from immigrating to the U.S.

Rand Paul could have prevented Pete Hegseth from being confirmed as Defense Secretary. Instead, he voted for him — a manifestly unqualified candidate — to run the Defense Department. Now, we're here.

He shouldn’t just be pushed out as the House Democrats’ leader; he needs to be primaried out of his seat entirely. Just a complete waste of a deep blue seat.

NEW: Jim Jordan and House GOPers refused to let the American public hear directly from Jack Smith, per his attorney.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

i'm actually struck by how pete hegseth isn't just a cowardly man but a capital-c Coward. a guy who gets off on abusing and hurting people he thinks are weaker than him and then tries to run and hide when there might be consequences

The secretary of defense throwing a top military official under the bus to protect himself. A beacon of integrity.

"Republicans are driving up your electricity bills so they can generate AI memes about their war crimes" should be a political layup

“Hitler was now the law, as Goering said.” - William Shirer, “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich,” p. 337

They want to be protected by the law but not bound by it.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Like the Special Counsel’s case, this case was dismissed because Trump is the President, not the facts of the case.   Accountability shouldn’t depend on politics or timing. Americans deserve a justice system that does not bend to a President who tried to overturn a free and fair election.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends. We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over. We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

People think tyrants rage because they're strong. But the truth is they only rage when they know the room will absorb it. Mamdani didn't absorb it. So Trump didn't rage. Fear is the oxygen of authoritarianism. Take it away, and even a strongman starts to sound like a man. ~ Bruce Fanger ~

I'll just leave these here

If only this could have been predicted 🙄

Congrats to the Teamsters (especially their awful president) and all the other truckers & freight workers who voted themselves into a "structural goods recession." In October, truckload freight volumes declined for the fourth consecutive month. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/20/t...

The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Trump issues an order for the arrest and criminal prosecution of members of Congress who made a video reminding soldiers and sailors that they swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States and shouldn't implement illegal orders. Trump's conduct is unabashed fascism.

Welcome to the loophole.

lol those files are never getting out

Really great video of how real Americans treat masked secret police. The sound of whistles in the background is especially heartening.

Billionaires handing money back and forth, no one creating anything except carbon in the air. Anthropic buys Nvidia chips; Nvidia gives Anthropic billions to buy even more chips; Microsoft gives Anthropic billions, which Anthropic spends on Microsoft Azure, run by Nvidia, etc. An ouroboros of shit.

Greg Bovino is leading a rebel cavalry terrorizing America—and it's important to recognize that it's in retreat. While the trauma and terror Bovino’s raiders instill is real and damaging, it’s remarkable to note how ineffective the force has turned out to be. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-bord...

The message from Trump is crystal clear - if you beat the hell of out police, if you threaten to kill FBI officers - I will make sure you get away with it if you are breaking the law to keep me in power. If you don't see it, this is a message about 2028.

This does not sit well for the American people. Our gut is telling us something is wrong here. The question comes up over and over again: if there’s nothing to hide, then why is the President engaged in such a clear cover up and pressure campaign of Members of Congress?

This is the sort of thing that procurement rules are meant to prevent. Those rules can make things slow and unwieldy in government, but reflect how politicized our system is. Other rich countries have figured out that a less politicized system lowers the risks of corruption.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.
