With Bondi Blandification in full force, whatever the public sees is going to read more like the Warren Report than the Pentagon Papers.

#ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
You know… there’s a sure-fire way to put Epstein conspiracy theories to rest…

#ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
EXCLUSIVE: Rep. James Comer doubts his Epstein probe will satisfy the public.

The House Oversight chair fears "so many conspiracy theories" will haunt any findings he ultimately releases.

I have a sickness. A self-inflicted compulsion.

Despite my 5x-weekly routine (mostly light) visits to the place where they put food items in bags—there must be a shorter name for that—I can NOT help myself from conjuring a reason to go to there on Thxgiving, the worst of all the days for such acts.

Just saw the Felon's response. Interesting name check on Somalis in MN. He probably wasn't s'posed to mention that.

"Oopsie, Stevie. I tipped your hand for your anti-War-on-Christmas surprise."

I realize it's a matter of national security and they can't just blurt out that he's incapacitated. Still, the Constitution offers mechanisms for removal and replacement for "them" to enact. If only their bank accounts weren't tied to his coattails.
Gupta: It’s clear that there’s age-related cognitive decline.

He’s confused a lot. He sometimes mumbles sort of incoherent nonsense when he’s asked a question in the Oval Office.

Clearly they’re not getting MRIs just because, because that’s the moment that we live in. There’s a reason

We are now one of the few countries that will no longer honor World AIDS Day

We join with Russia, Iran, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Libya, North Korea

You know all the countries that hate humans rights

I find it shameful

Will he even call their families on Thxsgiving Eve?

50-50.

But if he does, surely he'll blame Biden and Bowser, and probably Pelosi, too, and rave about tariffs and crypto, and probably email to each mother a commemorative condolence NFT of buff Trump dining on a lion he just wrestled and killed.
Who sacrificed their Guardsmen for this? Was it worth their lives so the Emperor could have manicured grass and dine at fancy restaurants?

Massive expansion of the Gestapo kidnapping forces, now under way.
NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

Israel has held 16-year-old American, Mohammed Ibrahim, without trial, for 9 months.

He has been denied contact with family & his health is deteriorating. He says he falsely confessed to throwing a rock after being beaten.

America needs to secure his release NOW.

All these end-of-year predictions about consumer holiday spending are framed as some sign of growth. "... projected to spend $x *more* than last year! (Yay!)"

Could it be, maybe, perhumps, that shit's just more expensive this year and unit volume will plateau or drop YOY?

When I first started flying in h.s., I wore my suit & tie (hoping to meet girls, iibh). I later ditched the suits when the "privilege" became more like packing my 6'3" butt into the trunk of a Geo Metro for six hours at a stretch.
I’ll wear a fucking Tuxedo if my plane will just take off on time.

Illegal and shameful and just how police behave in authoritarian regimes. And also wildly unpopular and not the country Americans want.
"After federal immigration officers in Charlotte saw a man taking photos of them, they chased him nearly 2 miles down a main road and made plans to “smash” into him, video played in court Thursday showed. They broke his window, charged him with a federal felony and accused him of assaulting them."

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

Trump is "trying" to do something to address our national healthcare nightmare before ACA subsidies expire on Jan. 1?

I'm sure whatever he comes up with in the next 37 days that he hasn't come up with in the last 11 years will be perfectly fine.

Did MSNOW lose a bunch of advertisers in the transition? At the end of one of Velshi's hours yesterday, they ran a loop of several of their station promo ads for a solid 6-7 minutes. Maybe a technical error?

And, gee, I wonder what China might do in its backyard to distract us if Trump goes to war in our own.

Xi can claim that Trump's Venezuela folly is precedent for finally attacking Taiwan. If only we had a Congress that could stop our felon.
Trump keeps footsying
around with Venezuela. He is now causing both Russia and China to fly in and buildup their forces.
China says it will continue to support Venezuela to “safeguard its sovereignty and security”

American Airlines ✈️ honored Bessie Coleman, the first Black woman to earn a pilot's license 100 years ago, with a flight operated entirely by Black women, from maintenance crew to the all female crew from Dallas to Phoenix. ❤️

This is special, this is newsworthy.
