Trump has executed another three civilians in a small boat off Venezuela. Death toll now stands at 83.

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

Trump: “Tariffs protect you!” Also Trump (a few months later): “We’re cutting tariffs to help with the cost of living!” Economists: “So… you admit it?” Trump: nervous coughing noises

Another video from Charlotte, NC. Property owners scare off federal agents after they question a man putting up Christmas lights.

NEW: Welcome to the Great AI Bubble. Yes, it’s here. And yes, it’s going to burst. It’s also got way more in common with the Epstein scandal than you really want to know. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Today in life under competitive authoritarianism

I want him to spend the rest of his life in jail. Treasonous bastard.

I'm sure when he leaves office all gifts worth over a couple bucks will be left in the custody of the american people

My latest on the AI bubble in finance: 6 charts that tell the story in ways that are hard to put into words. 1. U.S. data-center build-out. Notice the explosion in 2025. That's the permitting gold rush happening now. Would be shocking if 1 in 20 of these get built, but they factor into projections.

At risk of stating the obvious, the "economics mentor" highlight distracts from what he immediately says next. He is going to "cut off contact." Which is to say he is withdrawing professional support because she declined to fuck him.

she was doing okay for a while there and then 😵‍💫

She’s lying, of course, but it is noteworthy that the feels like she has to lie and say these things. She’s a weathervane and this is a sign of the way the wind is blowing.

Pitchbot just can't keep up with the self-satire that NYT already is...

NEW @crisesnotes.bsky.social: I take a look at the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, the little it accomplished- especially on the central governmental crisis we face- the constitutional crisis over impoundment. www.crisesnotes.com/the-longest-...

More pogroms begin.

Senator Menendez is sitting in his cell at Allenwood right now because he took a 1kg gold bar from the Egyptians, among other forms of “lobbying.”

Some good news.

A useful list for people looking for board games to try! I'm more of a TTRPGer than board gamer, so my list is likely a little more amateur/mundane. Just picked up a few though for a party I'm having. Azul, Sagrata, Wingspan, some expansion for some of those, and Tsuro of the Seas, cuz duh.

Also in here: DHS responded to the faith-led protest yesterday, calling participants “violent rioters” and “imbecilic morons” who need to “get a job.” Asked about the statement, one UMC pastor who participated in the protest told me: "This is our job." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

A former career DOJ guy told me a few weeks ago that prior to Trump, the FBI was the varsity team, DHI and ICE were junior varsity, and Border Patrol were like a drunken office softball team. And under Trump, the drunk softball guys are now in charge.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power. The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

Lovely little sail on the hahbah today in Boston!! I love the winter pass at Piers. #sailing #sail

Come to visit the boat, stay for the awesome view! #sailboat #Boston

They're running from it now. But the fact that Senate Republicans tried to give 10 of their colleagues at least $1 million each for nothing but a bogus press op captures the corruption of Trump II. In no other environment wld this even occur to the most corrupt politicians.

Ok I've had 2 cups of cold brew, about to eat some brekkie, it's headed for the mid 40s, gonna find all my layers and suit up and GET OUT ON THE WATER bitches. #sailing #sail #noiamnotinsanewhydoyouask

The pedocon theory isn't a a mere theory. It's already an unspoken tenant of the GOP.

This 🧵👇 is worth a whole read but I reposted some highlights.

4/🧵 The generational shift isn't just among white Americans. Young Asian and Hispanic Americans show the same pattern: dramatic declines in racial resentment across education, gender, geography, and religion. This is a broad, multi-racial generational transformation.

6/🧵 Why does conventional wisdom miss this? We confuse electoral swings with attitude changes. Gen Z shifted 6 points toward Trump in 2024, suddenly pundits say they're "the most conservative generation in 50 years." Only 42% of Gen Z voted. We mistake turnout shifts for ideological transformation.

9/🧵 What does this mean for Democratic strategy? All those debates about choosing between identity politics and economic populism? False premise. Young working-class voters with low racial resentment aren't choosing. They're ready for Medicare for All AND Black Lives Matter. Lean into the tide.

An MRI is not a routine screening, unless they're worried about something. A dementia test might be kind of standard when you're this old, but only because at this age, dementia is relatively common. Anyone think that they might *not* tell him about bad results? Ie cuz it might make him spiral?

From the private X account of the "Secretary of War"

Megan Kelly *has a 14 year old daughter* as many point out. She should be fired over those remarks, and would be, at a real media outlet.

I will say it again; the Democrats need openly create a list of civil servants called the Dirty Dozen that will be subject to impeachment in 2026, The Constitution provides that “… all civil Officers of the United States” are subject to removal from office upon impeachment.”

65 Years Ago,,, History was made. #RubyBridges

Meanwhile, it's being reported this morning that Trump and Pete Hegseth are ramping up their bloodthirsty and incoherent threats to wage land war on Venezuela. Note how the fact that they're threatening to do this unilaterally has been relegated to an afterthought in much of the coverage.

we need a department of kerning

I’m also upset about the butt claws

From the Dept of Who Didn't See That Coming?

I didn't catch the first or the last one. Oof.

This man’s never getting a pierogi again

Brain MRIs require an apparatus being latched over your head. ASK HIM IF HE REMEMBERS HAVING ONE OVER HIS HEAD.

Gave it some thought and Greg's right. Starting with 7 days, might switch it to forever. Whichever NYT editor has the humiliation kink, good for them, but they are not involving me in their mess without my consent.

When I chose to study politics for a living I had no idea that politics would get this dumb.
