📊 A horrible performance from Liverpool.

Nottingham Forest had more shots on target (7) and created more big chances (1) despite only having 25% possession.

It’s about as woeful as it could get.

Liverpool lose back-to-back games 3-0, this time at Anfield to Nottingham Forest. Arne Slot outcoached by Sean Dyche, who delivers the sixth team to beat the defending champions this season. Liverpool manager left in the Natalie Imbruglia position, cold and shamed, lying naked on the floor 🤯

Terrible officiating in Liverpool today. Not sure what’s worse. The ref or Liverpools defense

Liverpool is an embarrassment.

my wife and her entire team were fired over Zoom from their program manager jobs at a local nonprofit Seattle hospital this Spring because Trump just stopped paying Medicaid reimbursements. and this is a relatively affluent urban center

we're really not prepared for what's coming
As a direct result of President Trump's Big Ugly Bill, almost 300 jobs will be cut from Providence Swedish's First Hill, Cherry Hill, Ballard, and Issaquah hospitals and clinics. These are not the only layoffs we've seen in our health care system in Washington state in recent months.

A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Of course, Donald is bullshiting, but he’s also too stupid to realize that he’s making himself sound like an incurious idiot. Who goes to the hospital for a procedure and doesn’t ask the doctor why it is necessary and what issue is it addressing?
Trump: I had an MRI and the result was outstanding.

Reporter: Was it your brain?

Trump: I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well.

Umm … $47,285

How much without the anesthesia

Ok we can do that for $36,210

I don’t think so

Amazing how racist goon squads can wake people up to danger, but it's unfortunate that everyone had to touch the hot stove to find out it was hot
In the recent New Jersey governor’s race, the Democratic Party clawed back much of the ground it had lost with Hispanic voters in the 2024 presidential race, according to a township-level analysis of results by The New York Times. See the maps.

The New Jersey governor’s race was the first significant sign that President Trump’s success with Hispanic voters in 2024 may have been only a temporary shift.

Everyone does know what's going on here, right? Should the Epstein evidence bill pass both the House and Senate, these criminals will say it can't be released because there is an active investigation. Never mind that a thorough investigation was completed, and the DOJ was prepared to try Epstein.
November 14, 2025 at 8:26 PM
Attention is the game Trump played for years and won with it. Thus, queue the "investigation" into Epstein's connections to...BILL CLINTON. Dundundun!

(None of this is ok. None of this should be normalized or accepted. We were a democracy once. Maybe once again because we are winning.)
This, from @pbump.com, is a superb description of what pollsters are showing: Trump's support is growing soft, starting w/Epstein.

But the other thing Epstein does--is perfectly designed to do (bc his trolls have ALWAYS been pedo-conspiracy adjacent) is they make it REALLY hard to command attention
Donald Trump’s presidency hinges on loyalty, which depends on the perception of power. As a lame duck, that perception is already eroding — and the Epstein scandal is now accelerating it.

Maybe this will get the “it’s not fascism” people on board?
Creating the US SA was always and obviously the idea.

Well I’m convinced
Don't just think about the price. Consider how much you'll love wearing the garment, which will be about finding a manufacturer that produces things to your taste. A $100 hoodie worn for a decade is cheaper than a $40 hoodie you replace in a year.

As usual, the key is to buy less, buy better.

Trump must resign.
The email that’s most newsworthy in my mind is the one that Epstein sent to Ghislaine Maxwell in 2011.

1. This was years before Trump ran for office.

2. It appears that Ghislaine Maxwell lied to DOJ officials during her meeting with them a couple months ago.
