🎶 In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've travelled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
Oh, oh-oh, oh (ooh) 🎶

I can be impressed by Mamdani’s ability to use his charm offensive to play Trump like a fiddle (presumably to protect NYC from ICE) while simultaneously being horrified & disturbed that any of these tactics are necessary in the first place.

Consumer sentiment continued its downward march in November. Inflation expectations are elevated but have cooled since Spring, while job security eroding. Younger workers most worried about jobs, while those with large stock holdings have lost the mojo they had in Sept & earlier in the month.

Literally before anything else Trump is a celebrity who values celebrity for its own sake; fame is his only love in this world. So he's ineluctably drawn to its carriers: celebrities. And Zohran is a famous celebrity.

That's all this is
hard launch.

on truth social.

mamdani broke his brain.

ICE’s Detention Center outside Chicago was sued on October 30 for allegedly abusing detainees. One day later, a "system crash" lost all video footage that could have shown how detainees were being treated. trib.al/QwT3aqI

I found a lot to disagree with in this David Leonhardt interview with Sarah Isgur, starting with the assumption in the subhed about conservatives finding "its way back to small government," particularly since Isgur worked for one of the most invasive elements of the Trump I presidency.

It’s a pattern.

Nov 14, aboard Air Force One, Trump told Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey, “Quiet. Quiet, piggy.”

It’s not new. He called Miss Universe Alicia Machado “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping.”

He’s called women “fat pigs,” “dogs,” “slobs,” and “disgusting animals.”

This from 2016…

The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

I missed this Trump admin memo when it came out, but it’s a doozy: tossing our First Amendment to explicitly permit supervisors to instruct subordinayes to accept Jesus & even what church to attend & how to pray. Latest from @chrisrodda.bsky.social: www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

This paper has been destroyed.
Jeez. Trump reposted a call to execute six Democratic members of Congress, and it’s not on the front page of the NY Times, and this is the headline—no mention of hanging lawmakers.

sorry ... Trump-branded handguns?
this morning's Fox & Friends featured commercials for Trump Watches *and* Trump-branded handguns. a level of presidential grifting that was unfathomable a decade ago.

“Had UChicago simply matched the market, its endowment would be $6.45 billion larger today—more than enough to repay its entire debt.”

I wonder if today’s FBI would catch this? And would they share the info with their UK counterparts? Or would they catch it and let it slide given Trump’s pro-Russia bent. @asharangappa.bsky.social

Why did Zohran Mamdani agree to nearly every interview during his mayoral campaign?

"It was simple," senior adviser @zararahim.bsky.social tells us. "We just were not snobs."
