This sounds like the one TG pie I’d pass on.
Thanksgiving is upon us! So...how best to show your distain to your terrible relatives? How about eel pie?

In his 15th C. cookbook, Bartolomeo Platina includes a recipe for eel pie w/ instructions to feed it to your foes when it's done, because eel pie has no redeeming features.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

And the more people who dislike pie, the better because it leaves more pie for me. 😋
My pie take is that pie is good, I like pie, give me some pie, hurry up the pie

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.

And most every Maine hospital is, financially speaking, hanging on by a thread.

The Rural Health funding you secured is a small fraction of what Trump’s bill cut, and only 15% of that can be used for actual care.

Maine is the oldest state in the US and its residents desperately need care.

Member of Congress Lauren Underwood on her visit to the DHS Broadview Detention Facility and the conditions she found there.

👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

If Trump doesn’t sign legislation before December 15 to extend ACA tax credits, millions of Americans will be forced to pay far more for health insurance, or forgo it altogether.
Even Trump wants to extend Obamacare—but Republicans stopped him
Tick, tock: the GOP is desperately trying to run out the clock on ACA subsidies.

Pretty remarkable that Trump has installed someone on the Saudi dole — Jared Kushner collects millions in fees from the Saudis every year — in a key role for America's most sensitive and consequential foreign policy negotiations (Gaza, Ukraine), and it is largely TREATED AS A NON-STORY

I am delighted girls are thinking they’d rather be happy and single than partnered with someone who expects them to raise kids, do the housework, manage the household and still hold a full time professional job.

Parents of boys should work to ensure their sons are men women want to marry.

Former law clerk at the Supreme Court here.
1. Since the aftermath of the My Lai massacre, it has been bedrock law that U.S. military are not required to follow unlawful orders and instead are required to question and refuse them.
2. "I was only following orders" is not a criminal defense.

A thoughtful and thought-provoking thread. 🧵🪡
A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
