Himes: "This shows Steve Witkoff almost literally sitting side with the Russians on this ... it's unimaginable to consider the fact that you would propose a peace deal that the Ukrainians didn't even know about."

New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

🧪 This is what whooping cough looks & sounds like.

A baby tragically died of whooping cough today.

Dr. Ralph Abraham is the CDC’s new deputy director.

He:

1. Halted Louisiana's mass vaccination campaign

2. Promoted ivermectin

3. Delayed public warnings about a deadly whooping cough outbreak

The Human Cost of Jeff Landry’s Drive to Resume Executions - Bolts Chris Duncan’s death sentence—built on the testimony of two discredited doctors—illustrates just how faulty the system can be.

Huge news today, if you missed it; Chris Duncan was released from Louisiana prison after being wrongfully convicted for nearly three decades.

@psfrench.bsky.social wrote this devastating but important read this spring on Louisiana’s rush to kill Jim despite junk science.

S.E. Cupp is basically saying the quiet part out loud: the wheels are finally coming off MAGA. The chaos, the infighting, the endless drama it’s all catching up. Kinda nice to see isn’t it?

One tiny correction would put everything in its place:

❌ Steve Witkoff, the U.S. Special Envoy.
✅ Steve Witkoff, Russia’s Special Envoy.

Note that the BBC openly admits in an email to me that the removal of this claim about Trump's world-historical corruption was done "on legal advice."

Translation: Trump's threat of a lawsuit, no matter how bogus, has now been rewarded.

Trump Angrily Threatened to Sue BBC. Then Things Took a Darker Turn. First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit.

Elite capitulation continues.

Can the world address climate change without the US? Even with Trump's America absent, COP30 ended in a weak deal—and a win for petrostates.

...the press is not allowed to observe negotiations, but global oil powers reportedly lobbied hard for its exclusion. By the end of the weekend, the goal set out under the 2015 Paris agreement—to limit warming to below 2 degrees Celsius—seemed further away...

This is an interesting read but the point I’m not sure it goes in on hard enough is the profound privilege of all of these overwhelmingly white cis str8 men. Just the fact that Epstein did it made it inherently ok and whatever degree their culpability, that was ok too because they deemed it so.

Ukrainians Resist Pressure From Russia—and Trump — The Wall Street Journal Battered by nearly four years of war, Ukrainians don’t want to make big concessions to Moscow

Trump is bullying Ukraine to accept his peace deal. He wants them to give up territory they haven’t lost to Russia.
Proving once again, if you don’t stand up to bullies, you lose everything.

America’s Polarization Has Become the World's Side Hustle The 'psyops' revealed by X are entirely the fault of the perverse incentives created by social media monetization programs.

X's location "transparency" feature showing many MAGA accounts are based internationally reveals what we already knew: The world is using American social media and American politics as a slot machine and social media companies are directly incentivizing this:

On the other hand. Trump has cheated on every single wife.
And buried one in the back lawn.

Mark Kelly also stood by his wife then-Rep. Gabby Giffords after she was shot in the head while meeting with constituents, then hospitalized for six months. He is a good decent honest & courageous man.
All qualities beyond the comprehension of the PedoPrez.

Astronaut. Navy captain. Combat veteran. Public servant. If Mark Kelly isn't your definition of an American hero, it's time to get a new dictionary.

“The transcripts show that Witkoff is a sycophant serving Putin’s interest and that the transcript that Americans have been claiming was their own plan was, as everyone smart insisted, in fact Russia’s plan.” www.emptywheel.net/2025/11/26/t...

I’m sure the same people outraged that Democratic lawmakers urged the military not to follow illegal orders would have no problem if the military were ordered to blow their own boats out of the water because someone mistook them for drug dealers but were too lazy to confirm? 🤷‍♂️

Nixon, actually.

He had unlimited money from Putin being laundered through the NRA to the GOP, The Epstein Files, television ratings......

Conservatives couldn't even conserve their own party from a fascist mobster take over.

The same folks who fear immigrants living in our communities are the same ones duped into following foreign invaders who via social media are living in their homes and influencing their thoughts and beliefs.
They invited the evil actors into their homes.

He did it over and over again. I just saw a montage of his big mouth admissions the other day that reminded me. I just heard that Trump tried to get Bolsonaro out of Brazil and into the US before he went to prison. I reposted something about it a couple of hours ago.

Piggy even admitted many times that the election was rigged in his favor. Brazil not considered the greatest democracy in the world has figured out how to do it right:

I think Elon Musk is ass deep in election meddling. He certainly knew that all of these accounts were people he was paying for content engagement were poor workers in Southeast Asia. It's almost like he knew fixing the election for Trump wouldn't be believable if he didn't buy Twitter and fake it.

Trump never had a fan base.

He had an army of bots who sold his racism and misogyny and xenophobia to uneducated Americans who took voting advice from bald eagle profiles posting Tweets from Eastern Europe.

It’s as stupid as it sounds.

The CDC website has been lobotomized. Where it once presented the decades of evidence debunking the false claims of a link between vaccines and autism, that has now been replaced with junk science.
