Wow - this game tonight! Both teams have crummy defenses, but it's fun as hell to watch all the TDs back to back. Got to be some kind of record! ❤️ #NFL

I won't miss that smug face, that's for sure.
Elise Stefanik sold her soul for Trump, but in the end, she is nothing.

ICE repeatedly questioning and detaining Native Americans is proof the raids aren’t targeting people based on their citizenship status, but on the color of their skin.
ICE are settlers on Native land.

The little orange bars on the right are what Trump is calling “the greatest economy in history.”

This makes me very sad. I'm a long time GH fan, started watching in '67 when I was a kid. Loved Luke with his wit & cynicism & amazing heart wrenching dramatic scenes. No one else could have played that character or made him lovable except Geary. RIP ❤️
Oh no!!
Not exactly the same level as Rob Reiner, of course (to put it mildly), but I always loved his weird little turn as Philo the station engineer/alien in UHF.
May his memory be a blessing.

Trump's Rob Reiner is not about a failure of empathy or good taste. Trump bragged that Reiner was murdered because he criticized Trump! That's a seismic shift in political rhetoric. He wants people to believe that MAGA will murder his critics. He wants MAGA to believe it.

Probably my favorite account for lolz.
We wanted to understand how mRNA vaccines work. So we talked to three MAHA moms at a raw milk co-op in rural Michigan.

Why does he capitalize the word "Whites"? 🤔
Elon logic:
The majority of people who voted to pass the Violence against Women Act were men, so really, it’s men who should be proud they ended violence against women
The majority of people who voted for the Civil Rights Act were white, so while people should get the credit for ending segregation

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

These two things are true:
1) Shooting National Guard members is horrific and criminal.
2) So is putting National Guard members in harm’s way to score political points.

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

Why don't states require these companies install solar panels & build rainwater collection systems to supplement the resources they suck up? Also, taxpayers should be informed if companies are getting tax abatements & incentives. goodjobsfirst.org/cloudy-data-....

Guys at this point just assume that any dude who was a famous public intellectual in the 1990s was buddies with Epstein
MIT's famous linguistic professor Noam Chomsky was in regular and close contact with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to a review of emails published by the U.S. House Oversight Committee. In the documents, Chomsky described Epstein as a "highly valued friend."

Axios is reporting the administration is leaking their plan to end the Ukraine war (yeah right) which probably means they're trying to steer the headlines away from whatever is in the Epstein files which could mean there's something good in there.

Anyone else wondering why cable news waited till today to talk about redactions in the Epstein files? Yesterday: "It's a huge victory with Schumer showing his brilliant leadership skills" *crowd roars* then today: "Oh, by the way it's unlikely we'll find out anything new"

As always, I'm astonished far less by Trump himself than I am by the tens of millions of Americans, powerful and not, who are essentially pretending this is all normal. It's like the court martial judges saying "well, maybe they DID steal his strawberries" and making Queeg Secretary of The Navy.
Trump: "I gave them as you know unlimited water, Biden came back with a rigged election, and he immediately restricted the water again. But I came back in and immediately unrestricted it again. So now you have unlimited water to clean your damn dishes."
