Back when this started, I estimated it would cost $1 billion to do a name change. I wonder how many homeless vets could be housed for double that amount?

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

North Korea has a "longevity institute" that's tasked with keeping the Kim's healthy & extending their lives. Apparently there are 3 R&D branches and I came across alleged locations for them. Two seem quite plausible but I have doubts about one - least of all because it was demolished back in 2021

Pretty sure he's just working on behalf of Purdue to get everyone addicted to opiates

Pope Leo slammed the “soulless economy” that leaves millions to starve while billionaires live in excess. “Every starving child is a cry that rises to heaven as an offense to God.”

Who could forget this absolute travesty? I'm glad at least the paper is getting some compensation

Marsha Blackburn is truly horrid & now it seems she wants to steal tax dollars (to help her TN governor's campaign, no doubt)

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman. They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

⚡️ SCOTUS will NOT overturn marriage equality 🎉

The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

"Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi stuck to her guns during Diet deliberations on Nov. 10, declining to withdraw a pledge to provide support to Taiwan if it came under attack and Japan felt threatened."

New article, North Korea’s unreported submersible torpedo boat may be uncrewed www.hisutton.com/North-Korean... #OSINT

BREAKING: Trump just issued a blanket pardon for 79 individuals related to the 2020 fake electors scheme, to try and rig the election. NOTE: He can’t pardon State crimes even if he thinks he can. He’s clearly trying to normalize election rigging for 2026.

Except Trump DID call for the riot. We watched it in real time! Wtf is wrong within media (globally, it seems) that they can't stand up to such a lying, extortionous, bully?

I think he should be allowed one actual museum heist, as a treat

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

The barbarians aren't at the gates. The barbarians are us. We're going to bare the shame of this wantonly cruel activity for generations

"We are currently living in the single outlier: the only time in the last five decades that the House has left Washington for 40+ days outside of summer or campaign season." www.wakeuptopolitics.com/p/the-house-...

After 13 years of studying North Korea, it feels much more like watching living, breathing organism than simply a collection of data points. All countries behave like organisms, really, but it's rather interesting being able to see/recall those moves, breaths, adaptations across time

Line of cars nearly a mile long waiting to get into a local food bank in Tampa. Remember, Trump is actively fighting *against* a judicial order that he fund SNAP.

Richest nation in human history where the richest human in history just got paid the same as a G20 country's GDP after killing 600,000 impoverished people

JD Vance evidently supports the Administration's efforts deny Catholic migrant detainees the sacraments of his faith.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Yep. Drastically reducing the population of immigration judges at the same time they’re trying to accelerate deportations are not the actions of an administration that intends to continue to respect due process.

Not only did Mamdani win the largest popular vote of any NYC mayoral candidate in 59 years, but the voter turn out (in a city with very apathetic voters) reached 39.9%...the highest since 2001 and 16.5 points higher than 2021

A jury's power to acquit (not necessarily to convict) is the most unchecked power that exists in our whole system of government. No judge can overturn it. No prosecutor or president can challenge it. Nobody can punish them for it. They don't have to explain why. End of story, case over.

I don’t even have words for this. One of the 2 guys responsible for this mass death wants a peace prize and the other wants $1trillion to be a bad CEO.

Don’t forget that the sandwich guy was released at the scene and then re-arrested in a raid by a full tactical team. They were willing to kill him and and any neighbors in the way to get propaganda footage of the “arrest”.

"When the president claims sweeping authority to impose taxes (tariffs) without congressional approval, he obtains his own independent income stream and Congress becomes a nullity."

This administration is destroying American science. From climate change to cancer research, space exploration to robotics... it'll take a generation to recover, if we ever can. In the meantime, the rest of the world will move forward and we'll be left in the dust.

First time in 56 years that a NYC mayoral candidate received over 1 million votes!

Seems like a good time for the Speaker of the House to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

Undoubtedly followed by the first Muslim mayor of a major American city

It sucks because Direct File was one of the first times a lot of people ever had a positive experience using a government website or service.

North Korea says its longtime ceremonial head of state Kim Yong Nam has died. The Korean Central News Agency said Tuesday Kim Yong Nam, former president of the Presidium of North Korea’s rubber-stamp Supreme People’s Assembly, had died on Monday at the age of 97.

All nuclear explosions are supercritical. He probably means “hydronuclear” — slightly supercritical with insignificant fission release (<1 lb). The US conducted ~35 during the 1958-1961 test moratorium. As a Harvard-educated lawyer, he can understand this—if it’s to his benefit.

Data from ICE shows that none of its agents have ever been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s more than two-decade history.

Trump has said, on multiple occasions, that he makes no decisions. He just listens to what he's told, believes whatever story, and signs the dotted line. He's *actually* the kind of president MAGA claimed Biden was

Blatant murder

NOAA’s National Weather Service holds the federal responsibility for tsunami warnings, and has historically been a primary supporter of seismic data collection in Alaska

ICYMI: I wrote up thoughts on the whole Donald Trump nuclear testing kerfuffle. Free, public post. www.patreon.com/posts/no-nuc... At the end of the day, there is no national security while we leave Trump et al regime in power.

One of Trump's more niche un-American traits is his stated dislike for art deco - the most American of architecture styles, and so successful that Stalin had copied it wholesale for his capital.

Happy Halloween!

The Royal family have essentially disowned the favorite son of the late Queen Elizabeth over the Epstein issue. In contrast, the entire federal government seems to be working as hard as it can to protect an adjudicated rapist and the best friend of Epstein.

All the pundits and news outlets that bought into these schmucks’ transparent nonsense about antisemitism at the Ivies should reflect for a few minutes on how badly and easily they were played.

The former president of the Philippines is literally sitting in The Hague right now for doing this exact same thing.
