💥Ok I see other platforms are blocking this. I met Alex Gibney moons ago at ABCNY (the Association of the Bar for the City of New York). He’s the real deal. Here’s the trailer for Alex Gibney’s documentary about Musk. Let’s Streisand Effect this: www.firstshowing.net/2026/must-se... 👋🎥

The CDC updated its national measles tracker Friday. Pennsylvania’s two reported deaths are still missing. I watched Trump & his team pressure the CDC from inside the White House in 2020. I know what it looks like when politics starts colliding with public health. Déjà vu, anyone?👇

The smoking gun evidence in the hush money trial that convicted Trump on 34 felony counts included a $50K payout to Red Finch Technologies. Red Finch artificially boosted Trump's polls. Just making sure no one forgets Trump has been fixing the polls for a decade.
The US President calls on the FCC to do something about polls he finds uncomfortable.

We can also bring back 8 track tape players and cigarette lighters and full ashtrays. You can save $1000 on the price of the car and spend $1000 more on gas each year.
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

This is a bad move in bringing foreign tourists back to the US, and will lead to retaliation in kind against American tourists abroad. Trump Administration Will Raise Prices for Foreign Visitors at National Parks www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...
Trump suggests Kashoggi had it coming.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

i know “quiet, piggy” is just one raindrop in the flood of vile, shocking statements from trump, but it’s SO cruel, so threatening, such a violation of our most basic interpersonal norms. i would really like to see it get some actual coverage.
"When an off-camera female reporter... began to ask if there was anything 'incriminating' in the Epstein emails, Trump pointed a finger in her face. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy,' he said menacingly." Tell me again how it's women who are ruining the workplace? people.com/donald-trump...

It's also striking to see him say it face-to-face, instead of just hearing about it or seeing it in a tweet.

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today issuu.com/idsnews/docs...

The regime gets more deranged every day. A rightwing conspiracy theorist assassinated a Democratic lawmaker - which the attorney general presents as an example of leftwing political violence in order to justify an authoritarian crackdown on the opposition… We’re in incredibly dangerous territory.
Bondi: "We've been living through a horrific cycle of political violence in this country ... night after night antifa wrecks havoc on the streets of our cities. In Minnesota, a gunman murdered a state lawmaker and her husband."

bsky.app/profile/sluc... This seems dispositive to me, & also just as a matter of fundamental separation of powers concerns, a federal regulation that *did* allow POTUS to fund the military for *years* against Congress’ wishes can’t be legit. Must be unconstitutional for the Constitution to survive
It says right there if they requested funds for something and Congress declined to appropriate it, that they can't use this transfer method. Congress definitely declined to appropriate the regular monthly payroll for active duty troops.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN
Weaponization of the FHFA, targeting Trump’s opponents. (As Stalin said, show me the man and I’ll show you the crime. In this case two of the three men are Black women. Shocker.)
Bill Pulte has now made mortgage fraud accusations against Adam Schiff, Letitia James and now Fed board member Lisa Cook. This looks like the weaponization of the Federal Housing Finance Agency: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
