Letter from Chicago broadcast veterans: Federal immigration agents have traumatized us and eroded our rights
The fact that some federal immigration forces may be leaving soon is cold comfort given the damage they’ve done.

He has a lot of power. That's not changing. But the economy is bad. Worsening. People blame him for that, and blame him for snatching up ice cream men, grannies, kids. Both on moral grounds and for what it will do to the economy. As long as this is true, he's not unchecked, and he's in trouble.

I think there are a number of people employed at the New York Times -- certainly not all of them, but many! -- who simply do not grasp how badly the paper's credibility has been shaken over the past few years, along several different axes, and for multiple different reasons

Boy do I wish I could have a chat with all the naysayers when I posited that Epstein was a dirt factory for Putin. How many times have we asked "what does Putin have on Trump?" www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
Jeffrey Epstein claims he gave Russians insight into Trump
Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.

Anyone else now wondering how, and why, Epstein died?
Ever wonder what happened to the missing prison film that would have recorded what happened at the time of his death?

THE SITUATION ROOM
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"

Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

A #WhiteHouse correspondent asked Karoline Leavitt: "What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?"

Based on the emails released today and what’s yet to come, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mike Johnson sends the House back on vacation until the end of time.

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

💸 JD Vance’s family blew $35 MILLION in vacation money
💸 Kash Patel used a $60 MILLION FBI jet for a date
💸 Trump spent $98 MILLION golfing — on nearly 1 out of every 4 days of his presidency

🧾 ALL on YOUR tax dollars.

But somehow… they think a single mom getting $6 a day for SNAP is the problem?

Raskin: If this were to pass, this astounding provision would give eight Republican senators a personal payday of at least a million dollars each, paid for by the U.S. Taxpayers at a time when we are throwing millions of people off of their health care…

This sick f*cks will destroy our country if we let them
Flynn’s claim that we “know for certain” January 6 was orchestrated by public officials has no evidentiary basis. Declaring fiction as fact is the same disinformation tactic that corrodes national security and erodes trust in U.S. institutions—all to protect a myth.

This is pretty damn true, removing the ridged gender expectations on men would free them of so much grief and loneliness.

The far right exploits this, making men feel under pressure to perform as to radicalise them.

Popular discourse attributes falling college enrollments to the rising cost of four-year college.

That story is wrong in multiple ways, as @mattbarnum.bsky.social points out in his latest roundup of the evidence (citing a new working paper of ours):

Is college enrollment plummeting?
Reports of the death of the bachelor’s degree have been greatly exaggerated.

I remember telling someone that we would see SWAT teams abducting people out of their homes, and they said, come on, this is America, we won't ever see that.

And we laughed, because obviously no one would be that evil.

And they still support him.

Schumer may have voted no but people are tired of the DC dance.

✅ The 8 senators admit they kept him in the loop
✅ The 8 senators that voted yes are not up for reelection
✅ His No. 2 voted yes

We need a new politics with new faces for working people.

The official investigation into the January 6 riots concluded Trump “summoned the mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack" in an effort to halt the peaceful transfer of power.

No billion dollar lawsuit can change reality.

The BBC should call this convicted criminal’s bluff.

Democrats seem to think the pivoting to the center makes them most electable but all it does it piss *everyone* off.

Having beliefs/a backbone and being authentic is the best way to win elections. People are fucking sick of croneyism and corporate suck ups and that is why Zohran cruised to victory
