"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

In the name of protecting Jews, Jews have their funding cancelled, get kicked out of seminars, and are removed from leadership positions in Jewish Studies to be replaced by non-Jews.

There are many reasons I love Los Angeles (and will visit again once the current cr*p down south fades) - this story adds to that. www.thestar.com/sports/blue-...

Em dashes aren't the smoking gun some make them out to be, but do real humans ever use as many emoji in the middle of long text as I have been seeing in recent months?

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha lulz

Prosecutors used to be able to get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. After the damage Republicans have done to Justice's reputation, they can't even get a petit jury to convict on throwing one.

holy shit -- one of Trump's toadies just passed out and the White House event is brought to an abrupt end

lol

I can't help noticing the Supreme Court conservatives expressing the first doubt of a Trump assertion in oral arguments the day after the election day where every Republican running lost by 20 points. But they would never be swayed by such worldly things in their consideration of The Law, right?

When this happens in other countries, it’s the kind of thing cited as example of government brutality when arguing for regime change

The advertisements for submarines here are unreal

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

Best place to get a meal to go in Ottawa airport domestic terminal? #YOW

the gop just ran a vicious campaign of anti trans propaganda in VA…and got absolutely destroyed not just in blue areas, but in red ones. every county went hard blue.

NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown. The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

Hahahahaha

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

Mike Johnson: It’s True. I Am Tuning Out The News Cycle To Focus On Self-Care

mr president sir, the pollsters are saying you should drop more diarrhea on the nation youre leading sir

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

What we know, final edition of the night: [Now in 3 parts] —Prop 50 wins —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG —Dems gain leg seats in VA, NJ, & MS —Dems defend NJ-Gov —Dems win NJ+VA trifectas —Mamdani wins —PA Dems win state supreme court —ME anti-mail voting measure loses —GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices

This is going to get spun as a "thermostatic shift" chart, but it should be properly interpreted as a "information environment is broken" chart. In 2024, voters didn't know what Trump would do, and so they shifted towards him based on vibes. Now they are finding out, and they hate it.

Surely all those billionaires were not just talking shit and are right now packing their bags

A pro-affordability, anti-Trump-corruption message unites the party. Every candidate can run on that, and every candidate can have their own take to fit that to their constituents. There's really no need to find fights to pick when the party agrees on more than it disagrees

It's really time for news media to stop these misleading diagrams that colors voting regions according to their land area. Land doesn't get to vote.

score one for "the pundits are projecting their own preoccupations onto the electorate"

Would love to be a fly on the wall in the White House tonight. At least, what's left of it.

Is… this a Hollow Knight reference?

You can’t make this up. Ten million dollars, money meant to train Ontario workers, handed to an adult entertainment club. It’s time for Doug Ford to show a shred of accountability and fire his Minister of Favours.

I’m reading a book about berlin in the 30s right now & there are so many overlaps w current American scene but one is the violent keystone cop thuggishness is exactly how the brown shirts operated. Read accounts of then to narrate videos now.

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28. If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.
