NEW: Earlier this month, I spent the day with the Luhmanns — a family rooted in theologically conservative Christianity.

In the morning, the homeschooled teenage sons tracked ICE.

In the afternoon, the mother aided an immigrant mother whose partner was deported. religionnews.com/2025/11/25/h...

Uh what
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?

TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

Well, at least they're not trying to lie about it anymore.
Donald Trump, the same person who is telling us he would never use the US military to do anything illegal, is on the verge of using the US military to steal another sovereign nation's oil. Just 'cause he wants it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For those saying "her history will haunt her," have you not read the news over the past decade? If a debate moderator asks MTG in 2028 about something vile she said in 2020 she will say "I never said that" and they'll move on. That's how it works now.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

There are and have been Democratic candidates in Maine from working class backgrounds. Troy Jackson and Mike Michaud come to mind. With them as the comparator, Platner is not one. #mepolitics www.editorialboard.com/why-graham-p...

Dude on CNBC says there's more institutional ownership of bitcoin which should reduce volatility.

Come on, those institutions are mostly ETF managers whose holders are individuals with paper hands.

Good on the judge and the courthouse's director of security for standing their ground and getting ICE to back off, even under harrowing circumstances.

Michael Burry asks a great question, since OpenAI is the fulcrum in the AI circular financing game, who is their auditor?

If, as reported below, nothing from OpenAI is assured then this whole thing is air.

Drowning man reaches for only life preserver, AI driven stock market gains.

With the #Epstein files sure to be a news item for weeks, Trump can't deal with a bear market.

That doomed Nixon.

Not sure ramming AI down state's throats is the play though.

From the article I am led to believe Epstein passed a few million through JPM in the years before his first arrest but over a $Billion after Trump came to office? And #JPM withheld that info until after Epstein's death. 👀

The plot thickens.

accidentally...
The US accidentally invaded Mexico on Monday, storming a beach and planting DoD “restricted area” signs claiming the land for “the commander,” triggering a standoff w/ armed Mexican security forces, all because Trump’s government can’t even identify a border on a map

www.cbsnews.com/news/warning...
Warning signs appear on Mexican beach declaring area restricted by U.S. as Mexico rejects Trump offer to strike cartels
The signs read in English and Spanish, "Warning: Restricted Area," and had been declared restricted by "the commander."
