I’m still unsure about using an indictment as a document of undisputed evidence as a prelude for military action without congressional authorization, but I’m just a simple country law professor.

An indictment is an allegation. It does not prove facts.

You know who else was indicted out of the Southern District of New York following an investigation that was primarily conducted during the first Trump administration (and then convicted by a federal jury and sentenced to 45 years in prison)?

A +14 shift to the Dems in a very red district applied nationwide next year means a solidly blue House and a chance to retake the Senate against an extremely unfavorable map.

Wonder how folks involved in the boat strikes feel about a successor administration declaring presidential pardons invalid.

On the campaign trail, he promised death sentences for drug dealers, and his administration is currently murdering people in the Caribbean under the pretense that they might be trying to smuggle drugs into the country. But…

Federal Government Announces Racial Profiling Campaign, Explains It’s Because of the President’s Personal Bigotry

This is legitimately hilarious to me:

I’m also gonna start posting stuff I don’t have the authority to order. Andrew Garfield shall be my husband. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i... @thecity.nyc @gwynnefitz.bsky.social

Alex Horton, one of the two Washington Post reporters who broke the story, has been a participant in more violent combat than Pete Hegseth by an order of magnitude. It's not a coincidence that he got the scoop.

The Post reported that Hegseth gave the order to kill them all before the first strike. Whether he saw any survivors after the first missile hit is irrelevant. Whether he was in the room when the second strike hit is irrelevant.

alright, this is a sharp headline, though i might replace "crackdown" with "assault"

Dimwit Hegseth just opened the door to demands to see the video. Because this is what WaPo reported:

That's because he stayed up past midnight posting on Truth Social (he made 160 posts in the span of just a few hours last night).

This guy complaining about people being in "air-conditioned offices." Where were you, Pete, when you were watching your murder-strike livestream?

He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”

Yes to all of this, but also WTF is he talking about? What is this alleged event that happened two weeks ago? I legitimately have no idea.

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.

The official policy of the Trump Administration is ignorant bigotry. We’re asked, under principles including charity, to assume that people support the administration despite that policy, not specifically because of it. I am increasingly unwilling to extend that charity.

NEW: Pete Hegseth told an audience in a 2016 video that the military “won’t follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief,” and described the refusal of illegal commands as a part of the military’s ethos — a message he now condemns Democrats for spreading. www.cnn.com/2025/12/02/u...

My family is in St Paul and has had significant interaction with members of the Somali community in the Twin Cities, and I can say with absolute certainty that they contribute more to this country than Donald Trump does.

Fuck you if you support him.

JD Vance deserves this

If I were a politician, I don't think I would adopt an anti-affordability, anti-Sabrina Carpenter platform. But I'm just a country law professor.

“Carpenter wrote on X that the video ‘is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.’” deadline.com/2025/12/sabr...

If he wants to do that for me, I wouldn’t try to stop him.

Wait, the White House is going to war with Sabrina Carpenter? Oh, this is going to get good.

“YOU KEPT THE HURRICANES AWAY”

Trump stayed up all night posting 150 times on his propaganda site and is now falling asleep in his circle jerk meeting where people praise him. But of course Biden couldn’t be President because sometimes he spoke slowly.

Note: He is expressly saying "the murders we are doing are with the President's express approval" and the President is nodding along as he says it; this is not going to be a complicated war crimes trial if the Hague ever gets its hands on either of them

Let's say ... 88%

There have been at least 19 murders in D.C. since Trump deployed the National Guard here in August. One was the murder of a Guard soldier less than a week ago.

Dude's falling asleep while his ministers lavish him with praise for his energy and work ethic. "Surreal" doesn't even begin to describe it.

My great-uncle was born in the Russian Empire and wrote God Bless America

I don't think we can ignore the fact that Indiana GOP lawmakers spent months insisting they weren't going to do this and relented less than 24 hours after one of them publicly revealed she was threatened with a pipe bomb.

Turns out they/them pronouns are useful when you want to distance yourself from responsibility for the war crimes.

Again, this is the cognitive test that Donald Trump thinks was very hard.

I would love to see a list of whoever has tried to explain math to him.

Nov. 5:

Matt Gaetz, James O’Keefe, and Laura Loomer have replaced the Pentagon press corps. I am not kidding. Look at the thread below. One of the military’s most critical lines of accountability is now a closed-circuit conspiracy carousel.

Yeah, one of the many nightmare scenarios facing us is that a badly led and mostly destroyed intelligence infrastructure fails to prevent a major terrorist attack and that attack is then used as justification to speed up the fascism.

I do in fact stay awake at night sometimes thinking about how the MAGA ghouls are destroying actually-essential counterterrorism efforts in favor of directing resources towards brutalizing elderly taco truck workers

There is really an unsustainable level of bigoted gutter trash in the United States.

I genuinely do not understand why ‘RFK Jr wants to kill thousands of American kids and make millions sick’ isn’t in the news basically every day. Also, why are Republicans OK with killing kids? Is it because they’re so busy covering for pedophiles that they’ve given up on kids entirely?

That would be bills passed _by the House_. There have only been 38 public laws fully passed this year, 16 of which were Congressional Review Act resolutions, two were continuing resolutions, one renamed a wildlife refuge, one renamed a national historic site, and one renamed a VA clinic.

can our journalism scientists create a form of news that Mike Johnson can read?
