The President of the United States is trying to throw Mark Kelly in prison and Mark Kelly's response is to confirm judges who have committed to putting him in prison

👍

a few candidates have talked about this but any Dem planning to run in 2028 should make it explicit: the next DOJ will, in fact, go after you if you’re funding this awful ballroom, or any other pay to play deals you make with this administration

There might be no better example of the war coming home than a CIA trained teen death squad recruit getting asylum in the US and then shooting a bunch of soldiers who were deployed to DC for no reason other than Kabuki Security Theater

Average American Thanksgiving: President declares total ban on immigration, calls an esteemed democratic governor a slur, and then goes on TV to talk about Somalis like animals when asked about a mass shooting by a former child soldier and member of a CIA associated death squad.

"They had submitted extensive paperwork and paid fees. The foreign spouses had been fingerprinted and passed medical exams. None had criminal records. None had entered the country illegally. They had already been granted employment authorization." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

The myth of that a bunch of young hackers can solve any problem was debunked by DOGE. But the larger moral stain is that this was a heist. Cost saving was a cover story to shutdown investigations into Elon’s companies, steal government data and engage in genocide by proxy via killing USAID.

I don’t think you’ll get a more “on the nose” example of blowback than a guy from Afghanistan who America trained to go around executing civilians in something called a “zero squad” who later moves to America and attacks the American government. Like holy shit what the fuck are we doing here?

"Gen Z isn’t ok ... the no-hire no-fire labor market, coupled with the asset headwinds of unaffordable housing and low wage growth, means the youngest entrants to the labor market could face “long-term scarring,"' per FORTUNE.

No contract, no coffee. We don’t believe in sitting on the sidelines. Join our Transition co-chair @linamkhan.bsky.social , First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan & @sbworkersunited.org at the picket lines.

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

FYI: turning off "Smart features" also turns off spell check and the promotions and social tabs. And more. In effect, a lot of traditional tools in gmail are switched off if you don't let them upload your contracts, love notes, and sad messages to your friends into their plagiarism machine.

Wow! Jesse Welles performed his song “Join ICE” on the Colbert Show last night. 🏆

I’m noticing one common weakness among higher profile Social Democrats of going waaayyy too easy on Democratic leadership even though they (rightly) don’t hold back against Republicans. Seen this with Bernie, AOC and now Zohran.

CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

Notorious neo-Nazi websites go offline after NewsChannel 5 exposes targeting of children www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

BREAKING: Trump signs a bill to release files on Jeffrey Epstein, bowing to political pressure after months of resistance.

BREAKING: The Bureau of Labor Statistics now says it won’t release a full U.S. jobs report for the month of October.

Racist neoliberals trying to be diet conservatives need to be put in the dustbin of history. They pave the road for fascism.

The Epstein Files bill grants Attorney General Pam Bondi the authority to "withhold or redact" any material that could endanger "national security" or "jeopardize an active federal investigation."

bill maher with one of the craziest flop jokes i've ever seen in my life

"A man pardoned by President Donald Trump for storming the Capitol was arrested on child molestation charges, according to Florida officials, who said he tried to use an anticipated Jan. 6 payout to silence the victim." www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

AOC: Should this AI bubble pop, we should not be entertaining a bailout of these corporations while healthcare is being denied to Americans and SNAP is being denied to Americans —

BREAKING: The Trump administration says it will transfer many of the Department of Education’s programs to other agencies, effectively attempting to dismantle much of the department. This is an attempt to get around the law, which states that only Congress can unilaterally eliminate the DOE.

If the 2028 Democratic candidate is on the party’s left (Khanna, AOC), they will sabotage them, help Vance win, and reestablish their ideological control of the Democratic Party. They’d rather rule a losing centrist party than serve a winning progressive one.

It’s why Jeff Bezos’s Favorite Pundits have spent the weekend insisting Kahn and Mamdani shouldn’t try to lower beer prices at a single MLB stadium. They don’t care about the Yankees’ profit margins – they’re scared it will work, progressivism will become popular, and they’ll be out of a job… 3/4

to take responsibility. Instead of admitting fault, stepping aside, and let left-of-right politics focus on fighting fascists, they’ve spent a year dragging us through this “Dems are too left!” bs to save their influence and careers, which clearly they don’t deserve… 2/4

This is why I write so critically and frequently about Ezra Klein (and Matt Yglesias). Democrats are led by the centrist blogosphere, yet for the last year they’ve claimed progressives control the DNC to excuse their failure. Klein, Yglesias, Chait, etc ushered in GOP fascism and refuse… 1/4

Uh this is enormous

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

Also in here: DHS responded to the faith-led protest yesterday, calling participants “violent rioters” and “imbecilic morons” who need to “get a job.” Asked about the statement, one UMC pastor who participated in the protest told me: "This is our job." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

QAnon influencers have baselessly suggested that newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails show Trump was an “informant” against Epstein. It comes as the QAnon community has for months tried to rationalize Trump opposing the Epstein files’ release. My latest:

It rocks that all 20 people who genuinely think the Olivia Nuzzi stuff is interesting have editorial discretion at major media outlets. Just publish your group chats

Congressional republicans have been spewing racist attacks on Mamdani for weeks and it’s almost never mentioned in our media. Not only that, the person leading the hate campaign—Randy Fine—is treated by the same media as a good faith expert on antisemitism. I wrote about this obscene double standard

New Mexico is the first state in the country to implement universal free childcare, and the program will save families an estimated $12,800 a year.

I sometimes feel like they don’t want to end poverty or reduce inequality because they believe they’re entitled to a class of people they can prey upon

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

today's unprecedented foreign terror designation of Antifa has resulted in exactly zero (0) cable news segments 👍

My NSPM-7 coverage has for weeks been met with smug assurances that there's no law for domestic terrorism. Well, the Trump admin just designated Antifa groups as Foreign Terror Orgs - for which there is a law: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trump-slap...

This is super bad for US citizens, especially on the left of the spectrum. Gives this authoritarian administration potentially the power to surveil & go after US citizens on spurious "funding of FTO" grounds. This whole antifa boogeyman is being fully weaponized. So dangerous.

The median age of all U.S. homebuyers is now 59 years old. Just 15 years ago, it was 39 years old.

Absolute must read on the AI bailout-in-progress: apparently it's not enough that lifetimes of human ingenuity and creativity have been stolen and enclosed to create generative AI and balloon billionaire wealth - much more public looting is in store...

I think it's really bad for our souls to just have these monstrous crimes as the white noise of our era, like a clip from Woodstock to establish something takes place in the 60s
