There has been no debate here among constitutional scholars, historians, political scientists, anyone with a pulse really. Any telling you that this very straightforward point, one that has been universally accepted for a century and a half, is now an "abstruse" issue is just a liar and a hack.

Despicable

I'm worried Paramount isn't done pursuing CNN yet.

Trump hoodwinked his voters and he’s still trying to do it today… 2024: he dropped a campaign video titled “Make America Affordable Again” on day one. 2025: he hasn’t done squat to bring costs down, prices are climbing, and suddenly “affordability is a Democrat scam” because he’s panicking.

bugs bunny was literally the first guy in drag i ever saw but ok

Mark Kelly: “Jobs are down. Wages are flat. Costs are up & this President is asleep — Like literally, he’s falling asleep on the job. It’s hurting the American people — He’s doing nothing to try to help people with the cost of groceries, rent, & healthcare”

Nigel Farage being younger than Keir Starmer is funny both ways

"The most urgent news isn’t the selective history recorded in the redacted Epstein files. It’s what the president is doing with his immense power, here, now, in public, apparently so that [Ghislaine Maxwell] a child sex trafficker won’t tell what she knows." @toddzwillich.bsky.social

NYT: “.. a wave of companies have begun petitioning officials” for tariff relief. “Businesses that depend on foreign materials .. argue that tariffs .. are simply raising consumer prices .. rather than encouraging more manufacturing ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/12/06/b...

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Dr. Bill Cassidy’s legacy as a hepatologist, will be that he brought about more liver disease. Put that in his obit.

The boat wasn’t headed to the U.S., which we would have learned with a little due process instead of murder. www.cnn.com/2025/12/05/p...

Another large-scale immigration enforcement operation appears to be underway in North Carolina, focusing on the Research Triangle and Triad area, according to immigrant advocacy group Siembra NC. Here's what we know: ncnewsline.com/2025/12/05/i... by @kingdollar.bsky.social #ncpol

This is why, when President Slurs McSundown passes away, it's going to be a battle royale as all these selfish grifters shank each other before the funeral is over.

The radio silence about Farage from people who are usually supremely vocal about antisemitism is so so telling.

Polish Foreign Minister replies to Musk: 🇵🇱

The Labour party needs to urgently dump Keir Starmer. The party needs a Leader and one that leads the UK back into the EU. 🇬🇧🇪🇺

The Chief of Police in Minneapolis says their department won't help ICE and is telling residents to report ICE abductions to the police as kidnappings. If you're from Minneapolis, you should be proud to have that kind of leadership. To hell with the domestic terrorists known as ICE. 🖕🧊

I hope Americans know that we hate FIFA. No one in Europe is watching that shit show yesterday and is proud that FIFA is gouging your country in some of its darkest days. FIFA is a code word for greed and corruption. We are ashamed of it and really fucking sorry 🫶

Worth noting that some of the people having their car windows smashed and dragged onto the pavement did immigration more "the right way" than the First Lady.

Imagine wasting that much money on a pet project and not only do you keep your job but you get a bigger bonus than ever. I literally cannot imagine this even though it's exactly what these execs get. The privilege of fucking up repeatedly with zero consequences.

For context, this is more than the entire amount of money Congress gave ICE for mass deportations earlier this year.

This is the cost russia has paid to lose more territory than they claimed in the first days of this war, and it’s approaching 4 years. They are losers. No one deserves being handed land of a sovereign people for such losses.

This is great. Very few people want to go to jail, get disbarred or die for this regime. Make them fight you. They will cave. www.ms.now/news/minneap...

When Minnesota Republican elected officials can’t condemn what Nazis take credit for and celebrate, we have a big problem.

A bit on the nose.

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented. ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”. Why is ICE harassing women?

There's a city council member in Albuquerque who was elected as a Dem but typically votes with the conservative/GOP faction. But she is retiring this fall. The election to replace her is on Tuesday; the result could (if they win) tip control of the council to liberals.

Nobody voted for any of this shit, you understand, just as they didn’t vote for the relentless crackdowns or PFI or more new peers. We are getting this regardless, because this stuff is what *our horrific political/media class* wants, and they treat democracy as their license to do as they please.

I know we are mostly moved on to from the economic catastrophe of the Cybertruck, but we just walked by one this evening and one of the kids shouted: "Look, mommy! It's a poop truck!"

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

What does he mean he “approved”? American carmakers have NEVER been prevented from making small cars. They just didn’t want to. Big ones are more profitable here.

Grid bottlenecks aren’t a failure of the energy transition — they’re proof it’s working. Renewables got cheap fast, and now the grid has to catch up. Time to build the wires for the clean energy system we already have.

The White House’s insistence on using Sabrina Carpenter’s work and image to promote their crimes against humanity is also them appealing to their base, which already uses technology to try and humiliate and puppeteer the likenesses of women who have autonomy, success, and visibility in public

If Virginia Democrats follow through with a new 10-1 congressional map and a couple of other Dem states make small changes, Trump's gambit to rig the 2026 maps will be remembered as an epic blunder.

New in PN: Trump follows through on an especially ugly campaign promise "For years, Donald Trump has fantasized about lawlessly killing 'drug dealers.' Now he's making that happen even as he pardons actual drug kingpins."

Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child
