"It’s time for the political establishment to stop telling the American people what they should believe and start listening to what they actually want," writes @sanders.senate.gov.

i will say lindsey graham being asked by a reporter how mitch mcconnell is doing, answering “i don’t know, i’m going to check right now” and then dying is hilarious

This is the best fucking thing I’ve read all year

[TW: graphic fracture, sound of breaking bone] Sen Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) badly breaking the arm of a Marine veteran protesting the war Iran.

tom homan is a bitch

Remember, they're there to keep us all safe.

Rep. Massie: “Are you able to track who it was that obscured Les Wexner’s name as a co-conspirator?” Bondi: “Within 40 minutes, Wexner's name was added back.” Massie: “Within 40 minutes of me catching you red-handed.” Bondi: “This guy has Trump derangement syndrome. You're a failed politician.”

Marimar Martinez and her attorneys have begun today's press conference about the evidence in her case and a pending lawsuit. Her attorney, Chris Parente, starts by telling reporters that "this is a time when we just cannot trust the words of our federal officials."

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

We must stop funding DHS.

News outlets declaring “Trump Accepts Nobel Peace Prize” is a red alert state media indicator

these are some pretty catastrophic approval numbers for ICE mom-murderers they will not improve

/10 The ICE “reformers“ want you to eat around the cockroach. I want you to send the plate back. Stomp the cockroach.

the most important thing in 2028 is electing someone who is a true believer in the project of dismantling right-wing power. if you don't get that, then nothing else will matter very much.

I've seen refugee aid efforts defeat multi-year occupations by regional / national police forces who deployed 30x the amount of resources. Hell I've been part of that. It is *very* possible. ICE's budget has a limit. Make them use it. ICE's morale has a limit. Make them lose it.

A 23 year old larping as a journalist made a misleading and inaccurate YouTube video that the administration full of chronically online shitposters used to justify the “largest immigration operation ever” and now someone is dead

Today is one of those days where I’m struck anew by how *bad* the internet has gotten. It’s almost unusable. Clouds, apps, advertising — nothing is where it should be and it’s nigh impossible sometimes to do basic tasks online.

Bari Weiss is a particular type of character that can get too far in the good ol’ USA: the moderately clever sociopath who thinks they can bullshit their way through anything with wordy excuses. When reality crashes in on such a mediocre person, they have nowhere to go but self-victimization.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Weird how conservatives didn't mention all those years that they think it's fine to fire people for their beliefs! What an unfortunate misunderstanding we've had around this. Oh well!

New — I wrote about the myriad ways journalism’s moral rot manifests, and how our crumbling institutions have created the conditions for it to fester:

“the whitr house” love when democratic senators use AI graphics, definitely makes me feel valued as labor for the movement

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5. He’s been taken by ICE in Florida. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/16/s...

"I've gotten pulled into the Brexit thing this morning with Nigel, Boris and Rees Mogg." Then, in what appears to be a reference to Theresa May, Bannon tells Epstein "The guys are trying to move on. may today / tomorrow…" 2018. As Gill took the bribes www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So here’s Bannon celebrating Theresa May’s ouster with George Galloway in 2019, and Farage thanking Bannon and Breitbart for making Brexit happen

Temerko, a Soviet-born oligarch and a major Conservative donor, told Belton that he and Johnson spent time… plotting the overthrow May. According to Temerko, Johnson had finally been persuaded to back Brexit in 2016 by a group of “eastern European businessmen”. bylinetimes.com/2023/01/19/l...

Want to look through Jeffrey Epstein’s documents yourself? We published a searchable database of the entire set of new Epstein files and emails. Despite Trump saying this is a scam, Trump is mentioned more than anyone else. Search for yourself here: journaliststudio.google.com/pinpoint/sea...

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"

Oh so now liberals are getting mad at trump for doing too little (releasing valued jobs data) when all we hear from them is that he does too much (government coverup across two branches regarding his connections to Mr. Pedophile)

Like, Jesus Fucking Christ

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened

In absolute earnest, I think terror of “elitism” has put a powerful vocabulary for describing what’s going on here out of play. These people are vulgar, thuggish, unsophisticated, crass, unschooled, unreflective. They are low in a sense that has nothing to do with income, & it’s fine to say so.

Star Wars is sci-fi made by autistic people that’s enjoyed by horny neurotypical people. Start Trek is sci-fi made by horny, neurotypical people that’s enjoyed by autistic people.
