Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

Trump went on a late night posting bender last night on the war in Ukraine. He criticized Biden, he criticized the U.S., he criticized Ukraine, he criticized Zelensky, he criticized our European allies. The only person he didn’t criticize is Putin. Only Putin.
Shocker, huh?

Thought-provoking column by the always brilliant @heidikstevens.bsky.social, who makes the connection between “Quiet, piggy” and why women who’ve been abused don’t come forward.
Heidi Stevens: After Trump’s ‘Quiet, piggy’ moment, we’re done asking why survivors don’t come forward, right?
If we’re going to become a nation that truly protects children and women, we have to stop giving a pass to sexual abusers, writes Heidi Stevens.

Here’s what happened when the federal government ripped a 12-year old girl from her only living parent. An important story from @angieleventis.bsky.social and Laura Turbay @chicagotribune.com www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/22/c...
Her dad was taken by immigration agents. Now a 12-year-old girl fears she’s lost her only living parent.
The separation illustrates a tragic consequence of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown: children left behind after a parent is detained or deported.

Anyone who thinks nurses aren't healthcare professionals (and heroes!) has never spent five minutes in a hospital as a patient or with loved ones. They are beyond essential. This is another absurd and disgraceful move by the Trump regime. #supportnurses #defenddemocracy

This is lunacy. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is, at best, an environmental lawyer. He has no experience or degree in medicine or science.
This is tantamount to me, an English major, giving NASA a Post-It outlining how they should revise their entire approach to the astrophysics of dark energy.

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
