Enough Dems have made the funding bill dead in the water. Now we need Noem impeached and ICE dismantled.

Are there any folks outside Mike Johnson’s house?
There are about 100 protesters outside Schumer’s building in the middle of the blizzard urging him to whip Dem votes against any more ICE/CBP funding.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

So a big part of the Project 2025 goals hinges on forcing women out of the workforce. The Heritage Foundation knows that women voters hold the most power in terms of sheer numbers. If they can push you out of the workforce, they can push you out of your voting rights.
Digging into the data of what's taking place with Black women unemployment and this graph is pretty damning.

You can see the EXACT month Black women's unemployment begins to splinter and that what hit us FIRST is now coming for all other women. This is #TheDoubleTax.

The John Roberts court should go down in history as America’s most corrupt and debased.
a nice reminder of one of the more absurd elements of trump v. u.s., which is roberts’ apparent belief that the constitution was written to remove limits on executive power prospect.org/2025/11/21/r...

Trump just admitted he knew nothing about someone he pardoned, which either means he's lying to avoid answering further questions or is being told whom to pardon by others and just doing so. The NYT has printed multiple items from this interview-- but nothing on this as of 10:06 ET
O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

Again, this is what the SCOTUS has sanctioned. On Sept. 10th @chrislhayes.bsky.social and I talked about Justice Kavanaugh’s opinion white-washing ICE raids in Noem v. Vazquez Perdomo. His fact-free opinion was either naive, lazy, or sinister. The Trump Admin read it as a green light.

Why?

What does this have to do with us?

What sort of foreign policy is this?

If something bad happens to a criminal Trump pal abroad, U.S. taxpayers have to pay for a war or a new tariff or some silly new overarching foreign policy agenda?

What is that?
Rubio vows US response following conviction of Brazil's Bolsonaro
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday said the United States would "respond accordingly to this witch hunt" after former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was convicted of plotting a coup to remain in power after losing the 2022 election.
