The sun is going down...

I can confirm that people who are already exhausted and scared of going through TSA and flying right now, people who have just been told to wait in a line for 4+ hours, are absolutely furious to see ICE agents—a stark reminder of who exactly is to blame for this situation

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175 Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/iran...

bsky.app/profile/nash... We must remain outraged at the inhumanity of this Regime. THIS is our defining moment as a Nation. We choose the legacy we leave for our Children.

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting: Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop. Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

"We blow up ‘alleged’ drug boats in the Caribbean but pardon actually convicted drug traffickers in the U.S. Someone help me make sense of this.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/w...

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Imagine being one of those CEOs or school presidents who bowed down to this weird old man, then realizing he doesn’t like you as much as he likes this guy who didn’t bow at all

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Thinking about how Trump loved to say “You’re not even going to have a country,” and realizing that was a campaign promise that he’s keeping.

Farewell @washingtonpost.com. I was a committed subscriber until this piece by your editorial board. No more. Just canceled. What a load of garbage. NIMBY reference is absurd in the context of The People’s House. Shame on you.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

UPDATE: More donors funding the demolition of the East Wing for Trump's $250M ballroom have been identified

Dishonest, unserious, fear mongering, performative bullshit. Perfect for unserious, fearful people who want to be fed bullshit.

If things weren’t bad enough already, Republicans in control of Congress are shutting down the government. Why? Because Donald Trump opposes making health care more affordable for millions of Americans.

Yes, truly incredible.

I’d like to live in a country where they’re more outraged over children being murdered in our schools than a guy sleeping on a bench

Way to sell your super important summit and the supposed leverage you claim you have by already downplaying it and saying they will probably have to have a second meeting now (when they haven’t even had the first one!). Trump is playing checkers. Putin is playing chess.

If it’s the Golden Age & everything is great & the economy is booming & Trump has ended all wars & slayed inflation & everyone is happy & drug prices are down & his approval is at 71% & everyone hates Dems, why would they need to do mid-decade gerrymandering to hold the House?

Amazing framing. Well said.

With a few days distance from this event, it reeks even worse. If government data just becomes propaganda and the leader gets to make up whatever numbers he wants, it becomes impossible for a democracy to function. This is not a small moment.

Just so’s we’re all clear, almost 3/4 of everything we buy from Europe is now 15% more expensive.

This.

Trump told reporters today to focus on other people he said were connected to Epstein: “I’ll give you a list. These guys lived with Jeffrey Epstein.” Hold it! I thought there wasn’t a list 🤔🤔

Service Journalism - News you can use. The Big Bad Bill ends Federal tax credits for residential rooftop solar but if you install it by December 31, 2025 you can still get the 30% rebate for the project cost!

CNBC: Do you think the deadline for tariffs could be extended past August 1? BESSENT: We'll see what the president wants to do

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

The House just voted to pass yet another betrayal of the American public. Pro tip for my Republican colleagues: when legislation hurts your constituents, you don’t have to vote for it.

USA somehow managed to end up at the end of the worst pandemic in 100 years still deciding not to ... have guaranteed sick leave.

The American public elected a president and administration who whether they knew it or not was intent on dismantling the very things that made America the economic and cultural envy of the world. That is the story of Trump 2.0.

The dirty deed is done. Now will the House swallow it? Keep making your voice heard.

The idea that Trump adheres to deadlines is absolutely ludicrous. The man promised us a healthcare plan over 450 weeks ago. It's been infrastructure week since I was born. Russia sanctions are supposed to be coming in two weeks.

Too much power to make decisions impacting the global economy and global stability is in the hands of one unstable man, who is a terrible decision maker surrounded by sycophants. Pray for our country. 🇺🇸

What’s next, brown shirts? What do Republican colleagues have to say? At long last, colleagues, have you no sense of decency?

Murphy: "Everything that's happened in the last 7 days - the fight w/ Musk & now the deployment of the National Guard - is probably also a distraction from the main story, which is that Trump is trying to pass probably the most unpopular piece of legislation he will attempt to move through Congress"

Another ridiculously lame headline …. @washingtonpost.com

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

I’m starting my annual walk across Connecticut today! Beginning in the very northwest corner of the state - Salisbury. I will talk to hundreds of people over the next few days about what they want (and don’t want!) from their elected leaders. My favorite week of the year!

The recent MAHA Commission called kids in America "the sickest generation in American history in terms of chronic disease" It failed to mention the HUGE progress we have made in childhood mortality over the past 50 years Deaths for every age group of kids down 50-75% Here's CDC's Data

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.
