Iran, facing its worst drought in decades, is planning intermittent cuts to water supplies to try to stave off the evacuation of Tehran.

Donald Trump’s economy.

The silence of congressional Republicans to all the Trump corruption - from his disgusting pardons, to the UAE crypto money, to the Qatari jet, and the ballroom, should be used against all of them in midterms along with their silence on tariffs which has made things unaffordable.

The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office has issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu on charges of genocide.

TV entertainer and inexplicably Secretary of War/Defense/whatevs Pete Hegseth has removed or sidelined more than two dozen generals and admirals in nine months, the NYT reports. Many are linked to former Joint Chiefs Chair Mark Milley, supportive of DEI programs or critical of Trump.

Trump and Orban are from the same network. Orban was propelled to power by US political consultant Arthur Finkelstein, who also helped Trump, whose protege Roger Stone convince Trump to run, and who then convinced Trump to hire his protege Paul Manafort, fresh off his pro-Russia work in Ukraine.

A Sierra Club staffer has posted a long thread on this article, pointing out many specific factual errors, so recommend finding that before taking this story at face value.

“The fact the media was discussing the lies, and offering balancing statements, gave them credence in the eyes of many of those the Far Right was looking to manipulate.”

I had the heartsick feeling that DNA testing for "biological sex" would be used by the trump regime as a first step towards testing for other things that they deem 'undesirable.' Trans and nonbinary folks have been the canary in the coalmine for all trump's cruelty. truthout.org/articles/new...

In the article below, you can learn how Peter Thiel and Palantir have seized control of all core government infrastructure. Thiel, Karp, and all of the techno-fascist billionaire friends of theirs are the biggest threats to democracy, and they’re moving rapidly, in the cover of American bureaucracy.

Yep. I think it's pretty likely we're close to an AI crash. Bear Stearns starting the 2008 crash was poetic enough (especially, looking back, the Epstein ties). But if Palantir was the Bear Stearns of the AI crash, it'd be such poetic justice.

Todd Blanche says they're trying to insource attorney discipline so their crimes don't get people disbarred. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Someone pointed my attention to this from 2016. Trump’s anti-vaxx nonsense has been bubbling under for a long time.

Alex Karp and Peter Thiel are two of the worst people on this planet running one of the most evil companies to ever exist—we should do whatever we can to make Palantir go bankrupt.

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant” He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists. They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver. apnews.com/article/trum...

"They want everyone to know these thugs they’ve deployed to terrorize cities are battle-hardened and impervious to pain. But in court, they're such delicate flowers that if they are, say, lightly grazed by a sandwich, they are entitled to justice because of the horrific assault they have suffered."

Indian Illinois Department of Transportation employee stopped by ICE agents, questioned if he was 'aware' of NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani

Let me guess: They then asked him if they were related

The death toll for Typhoon Kalmaegi has risen to more than 200 across the Philippines and Vietnam. 2000 homes damaged, 2.3 million people affected, 398,000 sheltering in evacuation centres. 260,000 soldiers on standby for rescue and recovery. It’s moving west towards Thailand and Laos.

The US has just deployed attack aircraft, including an AC-130J Ghostrider, to El Salvador as part of a growing regional troop buildup linked to possible operations in Venezuela, NYT reports.

Contempt and a day in jail—at least. Then there’s a chance his conduct can be stopped. Fail to jail a man like this doing something like this and he’ll start doing things 500% worse. If Trump had been jailed for his NYMA Attempted Murder, none of what’s happened would’ve happened.

Trump continues to work for Putin after he exempted Orban’s Hungary from sanctions on Russian oil today.

Trump asks Supreme Court to let people starve.

Wait, WHAT???

Candace had even earlier patrons in 2017! She made her "RedPillBlack" Twitter account in June, got her first viral video in July - a complete unknown. By Oct. she was interviewing Ginni Thomas in the Daily Caller. By Nov. she was a panelist at a David Horowitz event, where Kirk reportedly hired her.

Candace Owens’ highly lucrative political career as a pathological liar was made possible by two people who identified her talents early on and gave her a platform—Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk.

Supreme Court Temporarily Allows Trump to Curtail Food Stamp Funding Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily halted a court order that would have required the Trump administration to fund food stamps in full.

Democrats didn’t cave. They boxed republicans in and made them own the shutdown. Watch.

What building should AOC name after Nancy Pelosi when she becomes President in 2029?

They want you to leave your phones at home so you can’t take video of them. If you leave your phone at home, take a go-pro with you. Cameras out, America!

It was right in Project 2025, if anyone cared to look.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

None of this had to happen.
