Six Indiana state senators who have refused to go along with Trump’s redistricting scheme have been subjected to swatting incidents. This is mob rule and it has to end.

They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing. This is who MAGA is now.

Optimism is uncomfortable. But here we are. www.thebulwark.com/p/spoiler-we...

It’s going to happen! House Republicans in disarray—their majority is so thin that if just three more retire or quit, Speaker Johnson loses the gavel before midterms.

News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

I'm Ryan Crosswell. I’ve spent my life in service to this country. When Trump tried to get the prosecutors in my section to use the DOJ, I stepped down. Now, I'm stepping up. I’m running for Congress because it’s time to stand up against a handful of billionaires from taking our money and our data.

I'm running in one of the only toss-up seats that Biden won and is still held by the GOP. We’re building an ambitious campaign. If everyone reading this chipped in just $9, we’d reach our goal tonight. Can you please consider chipping in to help me fight back, defeat Mackenzie, and flip the House?

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Five-byline alert: 🚨 “.. the full scope of [Witkoff’s talks] went much further, according to people familiar .. They were privately charting a path to bring Russia’s $2 trillion economy in from the cold—with American businesses first in line .. to the dividends. 🇺🇦 www.wsj.com/world/russia...

A sickening read.

This is the most corrupt, lawless administration in the history of the United States and there’s no close second.

Stephen Miller’s Wife @katiemiller : “Can you cite the statute that makes the boat bombings illegal?” @bakarisellers.bsky.social : “The due process clause in the constitution.”

Assuming every boat Trump and Hegseth blew up contained the amount of drugs they claim, Hernandez was responsible for bringing more drugs into the US than every one of them had combined. By far. And yet, Trump murders 80+ people and counting while pardoning the narco kingpin.

USA today!

More cracks in the dam

"If you look at job growth between January and September ... for the past 15 years, it's only been worse once, and that was during the pandemic ... It is the worst first nine months for the labor market in 15 years."

h/t @adamwren.bsky.social Michael Bohacek, a Republican state senator from Indiana who has a daughter with down syndrome, says he will vote against redistricting in Indiana after Trump used the word "retarded."

David Glosser, Stephen Miller’s uncle, told CNN his nephew is an “immigration hypocrite”: “Had we not been able to enter America when we did, Stephen Miller would never exist” (2018)

Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent. She didn't want to deploy to D.C. "She hated it. She cried about it." But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it. May she rest in peace. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

"My poll numbers have never been better."

Would it kill somebody to say “Nancy is not stupid.” It pains me to see the WH press corps just accept the abuse. Sends the wrong image to Americans and the world IMHO.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

The father of Sarah Beckstrom, one of the National Guard members shot in Washington, says his daughter is unlikely to recover. “I’m holding her hand right now. She has a mortal wound. It’s not going to be a recovery.” www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

During this season of giving, let’s do what we can to give back to the communities that have given us so much. From our family to yours, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Dear SCOTUS Bluesky: What happens when SCOTUS rulings are based on inaccurate filings? Just outstanding reporting here exposing the falsehoods presented to SCOTUS by the Trump administration: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

Bloomberg has obtained the transcript of a call between Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and a senior aide to Vladimir Putin — in which Witkoff advised the aide — a Russian aide — on how Putin should go about pitching Trump on a pro-Russian peace plan aimed at bringing an end to the Ukraine war.

Data centers are important for many reasons BUT consumers should NOT have to pay higher bills to facilitate the huge amounts of electricity they eat up. The richest companies on the planet are building these centers and they should bear the costs — not you.

The Trump administration announced that starting Jan. 1, the cost of an annual national park pass for non-U.S. residents will jump from $80 to $250 more than triple the current price.

WATCH: Donald Trump is now personally helping revive his beloved Rush Hour franchise, according to new reporting.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been personally linked to the brutal ICE raids sweeping America. The mother of her 11-year-old nephew is now in custody at an ICE facility, facing deportation to Brazil. She’s the former fiancée of Michael Leavitt, the press secretary’s brother.

TONIGHT: @nickkristof.bsky.social talks to @lawrenceodonnelljr.bsky.social on The #LastWord at 10pm ET.

Witkoff's advice to Putin aide Ushakov is to have Putin flatter Trump. "He will say that Mr. Trump is a real peace man and so and so," Ushakov replies, according to transcript of call obtained by Bloomberg. archive.is/2025.11.25-2...

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Pamela Jo has until December 20th to release the Epstein files. She must include explanations for everything she redacts or withholds.

Congressional Republicans including Senator Mitch McConnell are openly blasting President Trump’s team of appeasing Russia, warning that doing so would not lead to lasting peace.

This is just amateurish buffoonery that confirms this Administration’s foreign policy is alternatively Russian-directed and totally directionless. Such an embarrassment. Our enemies delight.

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."
