"Trump has said he has used an autopen for some trivial matters, but criticized its use for pardons...."

So he's going to go and manually sign 1600 J6 pardons then?

Fuuuuuck off

Dear Oval Office occupant,

A 20 year old National Guardsman is dead.

No one cares how many points you won West Virginia by.

Love,
Everyone in America still capable of critical thinking

And tomorrow (the 29th) is also #ShopSmallSaturday and everyone is highly encouraged to buy local at non-chain shops and stores.

Please (small merchant speaking) don't neglect visiting and buying from local businesses! We are the heart of most communities and neighborhoods.
Remember - if you're financially in a position to do so, skip the #BlackFriday deals online from big companies and shop instead from small and local businesses.
The big guns don't need your money, but for small traders it can be what keeps them going into 2026, so support your community instead.

Dr. Mary Edwards Walker was born 193 years ago today: Nov. 26, 1832.

She was a doctor, Civil War surgeon, and women's dress reform advocate, but is best known as America's only female Medal of Honor recipient. Here's a great 2019 We're History article about her from author R.E. Fulton.
Dr. Mary E. Walker: “Clothes Make the (Wo)man”
“It is a shame that people who lead reforms in this world are not appreciated until after they are dead…”

What the “Department of War” posted today is not normal. Publicizing an internal referral memo on social media before any review has occurred undercuts the neutrality expected in military justice and risks unlawful command influence. That should alarm anyone who cares about due process. #holdfast

Your naked, winged #Etruscan waiter pours you some olive oil while wearing a swan's head cap. God love the Etruscans.

So chuffed today! I've finally discovered my paternal gr-gr-Grandmother's origins via a previously unknown obituary date.

Granny Bridget born c.1827 in the Irish county where most Carbine people historically lived. She and my gr-gr-grandfather knew the famine.

The only pic of her, age 67 in Cal.

Trump exposed: The Trump "peace" plan for Ukraine came directly from Russia, word for word then translated via google into English. After getting caught, Trump dumped on Zelinski saying he's "not going to help Ukraine anymore"

What happened to stopping the war in 24hrs?
