It's remarkable that the number of news analyses/pundit takes that the Democrats are too extreme--out of touch, too focused on divisive cultural issues, too beholden to progressive orthodoxy--far exceeds the articles on the Trump/GOP's connections to the far right. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/u...

ICYMI: the record cold early last week brought Orlando its coldest November day in the 21st century - but it was only the 24th coldest on record. More infrequent cold outbreaks are making the cold events standout when they happen. open.substack.com/pub/balanced...
Unseasonable warmth continues for parts of the central and southern US
Wet weather over the West gradually shifts into the center of the country this week, while Sunday brings an unusual critical fire danger risk to the Mid-Atlantic.

It really sucks having a used car salesman - and a bad huckster one at that - in charge of our economy
KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?
HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--
KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

The record cold in the SE got a lot of attention early this week, but when you look at the numbers, the record warmth the central US has been seeing is more impressive. Talking about how we focus on record cold because it's becoming increasingly rare.

Given that these teams are playing in Real Madrid's home stadium, I think that this performance should result in both teams being relegated.

It is interesting to me how the media seems far less interested in Trump's Murder Memo than you'd expect. Only a few reporters seem to be even trying to get a hold of it, and very few commentators are talking about it. Contrast that with Bush's torture memo, which was a national obsession. Weird.
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!
It gets even darker than that. 1/

Trump Boat Bombings Take Dark, Unnerving Turn with Leaked Memo Stunner
A new Trump administration memo argues that those carrying out the boat attacks can’t be prosecuted. Why? Because the administration says so!

Yeah it really backfired. We’re reeling. That’s why we were up all night trashing some of our closest former allies on social media, ordering investigations by DOJ of our enemies, delaying a flight to Palm Beach to rant and rave in the WH, while generally melting down. Libs in disarray.
