Rubio told senators that the so-called Ukraine peace plan, which reads like a list of Russian demands. was actually given to the Trump team by Moscow, according to a Republican senator. Now Rubio's denying it and insisting it really is a US plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/u...

Are those "MANY GREAT LEGAL SCHOLARS" in the room with you right now, Piggy?

Twitter’s new location transparency feature unleashes questions about origins of MAGA accounts The function, which shows that a slew of MAGA-branded accounts are apparently based outside the U.S., also stirred speculative outrage over where the Department of Homeland Security account was created.

🔥🔥🔥 A 3 alarm fire for House Republicans following Marjorie Taylor Greene’s announced resignation, courtesy of @punchbowlnews.bsky.social:

Ukraine,Europe,&the US want to achieve lasting peace What does Russia want? Russia does not want peace.Its goals are rather the lifting or postponement of sanctions against Russia's largest oil companies,Rosneft&Lukoil Are there any guarantees that Putin will agree to the US-Ukrainian agreement?No

Absolutely right. And let’s be honest about the timing: every time accountability starts closing in on Trump: Epstein files, witnesses, reporting…suddenly there’s a brand-new “crisis” he manufactures to dominate the headlines. People’s lives aren’t a distraction tool.

Republicans across the country are in a bind of Trump’s making: After voting to end the 43-day federal shutdown, they have yet to articulate a plan to tackle the upcoming spike in health care premiums. That’s coming into sharp relief in Georgia, a state with an especially high reliance on the ACA.

"I don't regard Putin as a bad guy." - U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff This should send shivers down the spine of Republican and Democratic members of Congress alike. It's a 'perspective' not capable of negotiating for true U.S. interests. (video via Republicans Against Trump on X)

MIAMI — picking up on the open racism Trump has unleashed, racist lady blocks brown Americans from leaving a garage and tries to wait for ICE to get there

Some of the people who I knew were worried about Trump’s illegal orders in the first term: The VP, chief of staff, national security advisor, comms director, secretary of state, defense secretary, DHS secretary, attorney general, national security advisor. And many more.

Trump Is a Weak, Failing President, and the Media Is Finally Saying So As Trump’s downward spiral starts producing harsher media coverage, a writer who regularly dissects MAGA and political media explains why he’s entering a tailspin that will be very hard to reverse.

It wasn’t frustration — it was the same misogynistic cruelty he’s shown for decades. From Epstein to Access Hollywood to 20+ assault claims, the pattern is unmistakable. And MTG may not have found politics’ Jesus. She maybe trying to be the future messiah to MAGA. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

BREAKING: A judge has dismissed the criminal case against James Comey without prejudice. Rules Lindsey Halligan has been invalidly appointed.

If you dare to displease the despot, you will be declared an enemy of the state and every lever of it will be deployed against you.

"While elite journos and businessmen kiss the ring of Trump, people in jammies and slippers confront ICE in the street. The courage of ordinary people has been stunning compared to the elite." On the pod @amandamarcotte.bsky.social is good on Trump's downward spiral: newrepublic.com/article/2035...

Fuck DOGE and fuck Elon Musk.

Must-read: "Letting the government control which journalists can cover the highest office in the land and setting rules about what those journalists can say or write is a direct attempt to undercut the First Amendment." "It should worry all of us." apnews.com/article/asso...

The EPA has approved a new pesticide that contains PFAS, or 'forever chemicals', to be used on vegetables like lettuce, broccoli and potatoes.

Earlier this year, the United States deported 252 Venezuelans to El Salvador and paid its government to imprison them. Now two human-rights organizations have found that ALL of those men were physically abused.

Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

The Trump Mobile phone is nowhere to be found after months of delay Trump Mobile has posted conflicting photos of the phone and scrubbed mention of its “Made in the USA” promise. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Countries with state subsidies for abortion, transgender-friendly policies for children, hate speech laws, and affirmative action will now be considered to be violating human rights under rules imposed at Trump’s State Department. That impacts how the agency conducts its annual Human Rights Report.

Hegseth gets cut out of Russian-Ukraine talks, scrambles to find ways to please the King and save his pathetic ass.

1/Judge Cameron Currie dismisses the Comey prosecution because Lindsey Halligan was improperly appointed US Atty.

And now, the case against Letitia James is dismissed too, same rationale but minus the statute of limitations complication.

Tyson is one of just a few companies that controls the entire meat market. Just last month, it paid $85M to settle charges it illegally conspired with other meatpackers to raise pork prices. Corporate monopolies are great for executives and a raw deal for everyone else.

Such a small, petty, insecure loser. The Trump admin didn’t trust this drunken fool anywhere near the Ukraine negotiations so they sent the Sec of the Army instead. So this clown needs to play more stupid games.

Nursing home magnate Joseph Schwartz was sentenced in April to three years for defrauding the government of $38 million. Seven months later, President Trump pardoned him, but the White House denies a lobbying tie.

PUNCHBOWL: “.. GOP members messaged us over the weekend saying that they, too, are considering retiring in the middle of the term. Here’s one particularly exercised senior House Republican: @punchbowlnews.bsky.social

Much needed urgency from @thefarce.org: "We must demand that the Republicans in Congress do what they don’t want to do most: their job. We must demand that the president’s war of choice in Venezuela be fully debated in both houses of Congress before it’s too late." open.substack.com/pub/thecause...

CNBC: My understanding is the White House said that China was gonna buy 12 million tons of soybeans from the US by January. That's approaching and they've only purchased 332,000. China has not confirmed that pledge. BROOKE ROLLINS: Your point is salient. We've got a significant way to go

I've said since Trump picked on Mahmoud Khalil that he was picking his political martyrs poorly. But this one...

Trump reposted on Truth Social multiple accounts from X this weekend who have been identified as foreigners posing as American MAGA supporters. meidasnews.com/news/trump-a...

In every way, Trump demands fealty to himself—and to his whims, wholly untethered to law—over fealty to federal officials’ oaths of office. So again: Are you effing kidding me? What Dems did here was patriotic. They forced the debate we need over Trump's lawlessness. newrepublic.com/article/2035...
