Rand Paul: "Secretary Hegseth said he had no knowledge of this and it did not happen. It was fake news. It didn't happen. And then the next day, from the podium of the WH, they're saying it did happen. So either he was lying to us on Sunday or he's incompetent and didn't know what had happened."

Either extremely confused -- or lying to the American people.

There was a 13 point swing last night in TN-07. If we see a 13 point swing in South Carolina in Nov 2026 Lindsey Graham will be retired and I will be the first ever pediatrician Senator.

Seemed?! Dude was in REM sleep while the Cabinet talked about national security. Drowsy Don didn’t just nod off he was one Werther’s Original away from full grandpa-at-Thanksgiving energy.

credit to NYT for not sanewashing the appalling bigotry we saw today in the WH "Even for Mr. Trump — who has a long history of insulting Black people, particularly those from African countries — his outburst was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry."

I can't get over the fact that they scheduled a televised Cabinet meeting, hyped it as a major event, planned it all out to show how active and in control Trump is ... and then he dozed off in the middle of it. Repeatedly.

Listen, if you tell me that “taxation is theft” I’m going to need you to quit driving on highways or walking on sidewalks or attending a public school or using police or fire services or city snow removal. I would mention libraries, but…

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

This #GivingTuesday my wife Molly and I will DOUBLE the first $50K in donations to St. Joseph Center - a great organization that does so much to help our friends and neighbors who need a boost. stjosephctr.org/jimmyandmoll...

Donald Trump is crumbling before us. Pete Hegseth is under fire for war crimes, with congressional inquiries looming. Kash Patel is getting publicly humiliated by his own FBI agents. RFK Jr.'s freak flag is getting national attention thanks to the Lizza-Nuzzi insanity. The wheels are coming off.

All the more reason to shop at Costco over Target or Amazon.

Costco files suit against the government, saying the Trump tariffs are unlawful. The company wants a refund. Others that have already filed suit: Revlon, eyeglass maker EssilorLuxottica, Kawasaki, Bumble Bee, Yokohama Tire and many smaller firms. www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...

Tom Nichols: “There is no scenario under which you can fire and kill, fire at people that are helpless in the water, and make it legal. There just isn’t.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

To my new political party: This is the kind of voice necessary to win nationally. Responsible, serious, tough, moderate, decent, understood by regular folks, centrist, take no bullshit, a life of service. Thank you @captmarkkelly.bsky.social.👇

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

FYI: the EXAMPLE of what a war crime is in the DoD Law of War manual is EXACTLY what Hegseth did. bsky.app/profile/jjin...

The Republican chairs of both the House and Senate Armed Services committees signed a letter yesterday stating that they requested specific info many weeks ago on these strikes and the WH & Pentagon have refused to provide it. If the story is fake news, then turn everything over.

To work for Trump, is to lie for Trump.👇

It hasn’t been a total flop. As a tool for spotting douchebags it’s been a perfect 10.

This is not o.k. How much longer will we have to put up with this. The whole GOP is a bunch of cowards, and apparently criminals.

Tonight he says his MRI was perfect just like the phone call that got him impeached 👀👀👀

Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth has now severed any remaining connection to reality

Mark Kelly: "We have a president who doesn't understand the Constitution, who installed an unqualified secretary of defense. I cannot think of a secretary of defense in the history of our country that is less qualified than Pete Hegseth. He should've been fired after Signal-gate."

🧵A legal scholar finds the killing by special forces of survivors in the Navy attack on an alleged drug boat to be a war crime and murder. "the currently governing DOD Manual in Section 5.9 states clearly that persons “placed hors de combat may not be made the object of attack.” ...

As former Bush OLC leader Jack Goldsmith writes, the DOD manual prohibits killing shipwrecked enemies. If reporting is correct, killing helpless men clinging to boats was a war crime.  open.substack.com/pub/executiv...

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."

Joy Reid nails it: "Will no one stand up to Trump while he berates women journalists? Where is the White House Correspondents Association? Any thoughts from them??? WTAF." bluevirginia.us/2025/11/satu...

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

More cracks in the dam

The NYT and the Washington Post are simply ignoring the rapidly growing constitutional crisis in the White House. Almost nothing in their news coverage or opinion sections. They are as culpable as anyone in this.

Lindsey Graham sponsored the Afghan Adjustment Act: “This is the right thing to do. The people who were there with us in the fight who are here in America need to stay. This will be their new home. We have a moral obligation to these people and they will make great citizens.”

Now only did White House pool reporters not stick up for their colleague who Trump repeatedly called “stupid” but you can hear them thanking Trump a few minutes later after he ended the Q&A. Sad stuff.

This would be a war crime even if there were an actual war and these people were actual combatants, which there isn't and they weren't. It's unquestionably an unlawful homicide under any form of law you wish to apply: military or civilian, domestic or international, federal or state. ...

I long for the day when Trump ask a journalist “Are You Stupid?” And the journalist actually shouts back: “No! I’m not stupid but you clearly are being evasive and can’t admit failure! You’re doing a terrible job! Just answer the Fucking Question!” 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

Dear press: Maybe when Trump insults a colleague ya, I don’t know, speak up? Thanks

When are reporters going to stop standing for this verbal abuse? Trump calling anyone stupid is rich. The Trump admin are the ones who granted this man assylum.

FACT: If Biden were behaving this way, it would have been non-stop, wall-to-wall coverage and questions from the corporate media about his mental capacity to be president. Tell Congress to demand answers about Trump’s visibly deteriorating health here: https://bit.ly/3JDVKGa #ResistTrump

Release the MRI results

Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual. I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.

“.. Near the end of life, Munger leaned on humor for strength. ‘Oh, to be 86 again,’ he said. “.. days before his death, .. he asked family members to leave the room so he could call Buffett one last time. They shared a last farewell.” @gzuckerman.bsky.social www.wsj.com/finance/inve...

Putin just told reporters that Russia is ready to fight till the “last Ukrainian”. Peace is what Moscow wants, they say. 🤫🤔

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

It'll be pretty easy to explain: "there was a bipartisan consensus that consequences are for the fucking peasants, not for real people who matter"

OF COURSE the leaked transcript was an attempt to disrupt damaging US-Russian peace talks, which are extremely dangerous for Europe and Ukraine www.nbcnews.com/world/russia...
