Full circle

Trump is cancelling Thanksgiving.

ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler. "He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!" Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child. Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.

70.5% OF NEW TARIFFS WERE PASSED ONTO CONSUMERS — PER LENDINGTREE LENDINGTREE DATA SHOW THAT OVER TWO-THIRDS OF NEW TARIFF COSTS WERE DIRECTLY BORNE BY CONSUMERS, HIGHLIGHTING HOW TRADE BARRIERS ARE DRIVING UP RETAIL PRICES AND ADDING TO INFLATIONARY PRESSURES.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Abolish Border Patrol.

Yes, any elected official who receives any gift from Qatar should be promptly investigated.

Um, do federal prosecutors *really* want to take the position that it's not okay to receive something of value from … Qatar? I can think of 747 reasons why they shouldn't. 🤔

"...one former employee has said that everyone knows the project won’t work; it is now just a matter of letting MBS down gently." Brilliant reporting from the FT on the unravelling of Saudi Arabia's Neom. menasky

BREAKING: A federal judge finds the Trump admin "did not comply" with his order to fund SNAP benefits. Judge John McConnell has verbally ordered the admin to *fully fund* SNAP benefits for the month of November — by tomorrow.

And when Big Government becomes Big Pharma...we will all take the meds, or else.

So there's a Philip K. Dick novel where the twist is that the supposedly right-wing president is a Soviet mole who vehemently denounces communism while secretly acting to implement it...

We are calling this (White Christian) Nationalist Socialism

BIG. Judge Ellis' expanded preliminary injunction in Chicago aims to more aggressively limit DHS's use of riot munitions.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Text from a friend:

Allow me to reintroduce myself. I’m Fred Wellman and I’m running for Congress to win next. Join us and let’s take back Missouri.

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Brand new data: Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!). These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates. Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

ICE isn’t going after the worst of the worst. This morning, they took a preschool teacher without a warrant IN FRONT OF CHILDREN in my district. #ice #chicago

Now you know why Trump and the GOP are so focused on undermining free and free elections in 2026. Please, stay informed and take action. There is no better way to start than by signing up for Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

Republicans are fine with getting their half of the baby.

Donald Trump is the most powerful person in the world. Only a monster would use that power to force 42 million Americans to go hungry.

Here I thought Trump was finally expressing sympathy for Virginia Giuffre’s family and the other victims of his leering wing man Jeffrey Epstein—but nope, it was the Royal family and poor ex-Prince Andrew that Trump feels so badly for.

Virginia, remember, this is coming here soon. Vote accordingly today my fellow residents.

Ice agents crashing into US citizens then forcibly detaining them. They don’t know how to hold guns. They clearly don’t have any training. They obviously aren’t following the laws. This is embarrassing for our country and dangerous for our citizens.

A lot of people get into law enforcement because they are emotionally incontinent and it’s a great opportunity to piss over everyone, violence-and-threatswise

They've brought a new Loaner AUSA into the Comey case but (like the other one) w/o filing notice of appearance.

NEW: At least six FBI employees linked to the Arctic Frost / Jack Smith probe have gotten the ax in recent days, NBC News has learned. The firings continue to trickle in.

I realize we’re in a post-truth environment, but: I cannot understand how the fact that the platform run by Changpeng Zhao—the crypto billionaire recently pardoned by Trump—was serving to money-launder for Hamas, Al Qaeda, and ISIS, has not taken on greater salience.

Sergeant Schultz takes the podium, again.

Point is, it's not that they couldn't do it. They didn't want to.

Kamala Harris should sue 60 Minutes for editing the Trump "interview."

JUST IN: Judge Immergut renews her block on President Trump’s National Guard deployment to Portland, saying her three-day trial showed there was no credible evidence justify Trump/Hegseth’s incursion on Oregon’s sovereignty. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

if lore is to be believed, fred astaire used to dance and glide around his tailor's workshop before taking a suit home to make sure the collar always stayed glued to his neck

When the suspects appear to be white guys, it’s not a bombing — it’s an intentional explosion.

Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

Apparently, in no time during the last 15 years, they said, "hey guys, we need to figure out our alternative healthcare plan", because WHY? Because they have no interest in governing, just breaking things and blaming others.

Aaaand, they're each right, a pox on them all.

Person, woman, man, camera, tv.

Evidently there was an Auschwitz-themed float in a Halloween parade in Pennsylvania. The float was for a Catholic school, and to their credit the church immediately disavowed it. Thing is, I don’t think high school kids did this entirely on their own. I’m guessing parents had to be involved.

I’m not going to take the turkey out of the freezer until it’s defrosted.
