Two weeks ago, the Israeli military hit Umm al-Khair, an Indigenous Bedouin Palestinian community in the South Hebron Hills of the occupied West Bank, with 14 devastating demolition orders targeting homes, agricultural structures, restroom facilities, and even its community center.

Q: Do you acknowledge that by voting for this discharge petition today, that's a reversal for you? You could've put this on the floor months ago

🔴 Scolding a U.S. reporter for asking questions about MBS ordering a fellow journalist to be bonesawed to death signals to dictators everywhere that they can murder journalists with impunity.

What we're seeing with Republicans turning on Trump is in no way a repudiation of Trumpism and the Republican white nationalist project, but instead the effect of these people realizing the regime failed to consolidate power as promised and Trump is physically deteriorating in public view.
Massie: "I would remind my Republican colleagues who are decided how to vote, Donald Trump can protect you in red districts right now by giving you an endorsement, but by 2030, he's not gonna be the president and you will have voted to protect pedophiles if you don't vote to release those files."

This is the situation in Gaza. Israel destroyed 95% of the housing in Gaza since 2023 (according to Norm Finkelstein, or at least that's who I heard it from). And they are still bombing during the "ceasefire". A slower genocide is still a genocide.

This article is utterly damning for the New York Times and also for Vanity Fair and ABC, whose editorial teams were apparently intimidated into silence by a mix of legal and violent threats. Virginia Giuffre did not stand a chance against all this.
This story by @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social about Landon Thomas, former NYT reporter now appearing in the latest email tranche, soliciting a $30k contribution from Jeffrey Epstein?

Yes, you can read it here

Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.
This is the food distribution line at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas 11/7/25. This is what Trump doesn't want you to see.

TAKEN AT HER COURT HEARING. To all those Americans deceiving themselves that ICE is only going after rapists and murderers, another reminder that’s a lie. They are targeting folks doing the right thing, because it is easier and otherwise they don’t have enough people to arrest. Wake up now.

The Trump administration’s military strikes on alleged drug boats are “blatantly unlawful as a matter of U.S. domestic law—and a quickly spreading stain on whatever is left of the executive branch’s commitment to the rule of law.”

Me on “extrajudicial killings” in the latest issue of “One First”:
188. Five Questions About "Extrajudicial Killings"
There is no obvious legal argument to support President Trump's expanding campaign of strikes against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. And the implications are even scarier.

“[T]here is, especially as of this past Monday, no viable legal basis ... for what the Trump administration is doing.”

That’s murder, folks. Steve explains why civil suits are unlikely to help. When DOJ reemerges from under Trump’s thumb, prosecutions are in order.

"The deleted videos range in scope from investigations, such as an analysis of the Israeli killing of American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, to testimonies of Palestinians tortured by Israeli forces and documentaries like 'The Beach,' about children playing ... who were killed by an Israeli strike."
"YouTube is being complicit in silencing the voices of Palestinian victims."

"[H]uman rights groups' account terminations cumulatively amount to the erasure of more than 700 videos."

This is what a 40mm round can do to a person’s stomach. Aimed at the head and it can cause brain damage or take out a person’s eye. In 2020, LAPD caused a person’s testicle to explode when LAPD shot them in the groin.

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,
