How embarrassing.

Administration sources were all-in on this Russian wishlist until it was revealed that it was an *actual* Russian wishlist and not just the worst possible peace plan for Ukraine.

The administration that uncancelled swastikas yesterday wants us to believe that it is blackmailing universities because it is so sincerely against antisemitism?

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States:

- Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party
- Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children
- Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats

Those are just factual statements.

I understand the reasoning behind zeroing in on ICE & DHS abducting citizens. But when you lead with what's perceived as your most sympathetic cases, you cede the moral high ground & make arguing for others harder. It is wrong for armed, masked gestapo to grab people - doesn't matter their status.

I don’t care what happens with the Texas legislative maps. Democrats should still gerrymander the shit out of blue states.

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally.

He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough.

Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

He was revered.

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

🚨🚨 ICE ALERT 🚨🚨

ICE agents have been reported in the Boone (NC) and adjacent areas. They are targeting Christmas tree farms, conducting Kavanaugh stops, and are waiting outside certain stores.

Warn anyone who needs to be. Remember ICE can’t come on your private property w/o judicial warrants.

Pay attention to how Mike Johnson is trying to shift the narrative today - he’s saying some Epstein files can’t be released because they’re intelligence products and would harm national security.

The whole thing is horrifying, but at least a reporter asked the question. We need more reporters calling him out every single time.
So you mistakenly dismembered a journalist?
MBS claims the murder of Khashoggi was "a huge mistake and we're our doing our best that this doesn't happen again."

President Trump said he plans to sell F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, despite concerns from national security officials that it could help China steal the technology.

When Saudi Arabia gets things it wants, it’s worth remembering Trump’s business conflicts in the country… 🧵

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten.

For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

It’s incredible how easily these people just… lie. For no reason.

Then when they get caught lying, they’re like well obviously tariffs were going to raise prices.
KERNEN: If we're reversing some tariffs to try to help affordability, isn't that acknowledging that tariffs were responsible for some of the higher prices and inflation?

HASSETT: This is nothing new

I believe the women. We don’t need the files (that may also have been tampered with or redacted).
We could spend years demanding a list be released, or we could just believe women…

I don't know why we still call them ICE and treat them as a legitimate organization. They are an armed Militia and should be designated as a terrorist group. No other legal force in America wears masks and strips people of due process. They are a terrorist organization
November 17, 2025 at 1:34 AM
So the FBI has asked ICE to remove their masks because so many fake ICE thugs have been committing crimes — when will they actually comply?
they really are terrifying
grown men playing dressup with weapons and violence
shame on them

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

A fuck ton.

People always ask me what they should pay attention to that they probably aren’t already, and China/Taiwan is normally my answer.

China is really leaning into their ‘grey zone’ strategy and they’re putting a lot of pressure on Taiwan. They’re really hoping to provoke a response.
