Understand why the government keeps protecting the powerful instead of the victims in the Epstein case, why the FBI fought to hide the names, and why every single one should be exposed. I broke it down in my new Substack.

He is flatly wrong.
Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”

As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Elon Musk is using Twitter to call for the National Guard shooter to be “hanged without delay”.

He says where there’s premeditated murder, punishment must be swift.

He knew cutting USAID would kill people.

He did it anyways.

600,000 people have died.

What’s his punishment?

An old world Columbine blooming at DBG. Notice the short nectar spurs, longer ones evolved in North American species less than five million years ago due to hummingbirds being present as pollinators here but not outside the Americas.

Today on Volts: the subset of cleantech known as "electrotech" -- solar, batteries, heat pumps, etc. -- is marching toward inevitable victory, not because it's low-emissions (though it is), but because it's more efficient & cheaper. I discuss the good news with @kingsmillbond.bsky.social.
Clean electrification is inevitable
Kingsmill Bond explains why the global march of "electrotech" has moved beyond the reach of US political interference.

Enjoy your family, be thankful for your personal blessings.

That doesn’t take away the need to acknowledge the misery our Native Populations endured and continue to experience as a result of generational trauma and disenfranchisement,

You can do both. You can do both.
This Thanksgiving—observe the National Day of Mourning.

From 1819 to 1969, US Govt stole tens of thousands of Indigenous kids—forcing them to convert to Christianity & stripping them of their identities. Resistance was met with violence. Sexual abuse was rampant.

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.

📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.

Prosecute her and everyone involved.

Tina Peters was Mesa County Clerk and egregious violated the law and voters' trust. She needs to stay in Colorado prison, not be handed to a corrupt federal administration.

Call Polis. Tell him "leave Tina Peters in prison in Colorado to serve her entire sentence."
Before Thanksgiving: Call Gov Polis 303-866-2471 (front desk) and tell him NOT to move incarcerated Tina Peters to federal prison, to commute her sentence, or pardon her! Trump wants this, but Colorado citizens who care about fair elections DO NOT! Keep the unrepentant Peters in prison

I'm not a clinician. This guy needs clinicians to weigh in on his cognitive health.
Trump: "Despite their size, Secretary Kennedy has formally certified that these are the first ever MAHA turkeys. They could be fat, but they're still MAHA. They've been fattened on a steady diet of grass, beef, to allow the smoothies and all the other things they have been eating for this occasion."

None of his jokes are jokes. He doesn't tell jokes. At best, they're veiled threats. Usually, they're quite specific.

Everything from him is transactional or bullying.
QUICK: Last week, the president -- I'm not sure if he was joking -- he said he loves everything you're doing but if you don't get the Fed to lower interest rates soon, he might fire your butt

BESSENT: Well Becky, if you were in the room he was joking

You should join this effort. Either challenge or support those who do.
“Fight Club”?

Nice to see Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, and Warren pushing back on Schumer’s weak AF midterm strategy, but talk is not enough because he ain’t changing.

One of them needs to step up and challenge him for the leadership slot. Right now!

EXCELLENT response, Senator.

Friends, this is the courage we need from our elected officials. Please like and/or repost his statement, and give him a follow.
Trump and his Administration are targeting me because I said something they didn’t like — but here’s the thing: I won’t be intimidated into silence. I’ve overcome challenges a lot tougher than Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth.

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.
