"top border patrol official was so inspired by hunting magazines that he vowed to hunt immigrants" is really...something.

Tell Students the Truth About American History We owe it to Americans of all ages to be honest about the country’s past, including its contradictions.

I spent October traveling to schools throughout the South talking to students about American history. What I found were young people who understand we can tell a story that includes both the positive and the negative. As one 8th grader in Memphis said, β€œDoesn’t seem that hard, just say both things.”

FWIW rightwing twitter appears on the list I keep to be running higher than 9-1 Trump/MTG. I don't think this is the big MAGA split one might hope. Some would say I'm a pessimist--I don't think scandal or defection will ever take down Trump. I think I'm an optimist: I believe organizing will.

Governments and voters are both reacting to algorithm-shaped β€œpublic opinion,” not grounded priorities. Immigration feels urgent because platforms amplify fear, pulling parties into hollow performances of toughness. The far right reads that drift as confirmation it’s winning.

As one who has long dreamed of someday opening a bookshop called Sharlet’s Web, I’m thankful to Chris for reclaiming the original from the evil clutches of the dread & crudely cropped Bovino. (Apologies to all decent folk who share the surname.)

You can tell who is in β€œthe Club” and who isn’t by who gets chased out of journalism or scrape and claw back into it versus the people who one year later come out of β€œexile” after gross breach in ethics and get glossy profiles and a book deal.

He's not sleepwalking, it's entirely intentional. Renaming the DoD, strikes on Iran, the repeated extrajudicial murders in the Caribbean, the buildup of offensive military forces, and firing of anyone in the Executive branch that could inhibit these illegal actions - this is how a war starts.

He summoned Boebert to the Situation Room to pressure her to withdraw her name. Called Mace. Threatened Massie and Greene. Now he knows it will pass and he’s trying to save face. But he also knows it may die in the senate and DOJ intends to cite a new β€œpending investigation” to block it.

If Trump claims he wants Republicans to vote to release the files now because he has nothing to hide, why doesn’t he just release the files today? Why did he order his AG many months ago not to release them? Why did he threaten Rs who signed the petition?

I knew they blamed immigrants for everything, but I didn’t think they would blame immigrant cows for hamburger prices.

The Saudis are meeting with Trump tomorrow. There is a lot they want from the US govt. And they have been enriching Trump and his family over the past several months with one deal after another to make sure they get it. Something tells me they will get what they want.

4. There's a villain in the story and it must be told that way. Fossil fuel's climate denial fraud and dark money corruption are full-on villainous and we should say so.

Why does Trump need to support the House vote to release the Epstein files? Can't he just order their release himself?

Trump's entire gambit is to bully and harass and intimidate people into silence. But the elections last Tuesday, the huge No Kings turnout, and the packed rooms I saw in New Hampshire this week are proof that his plan is not working.

This does not sit well for the American people. Our gut is telling us something is wrong here.

The question comes up over and over again: if there’s nothing to hide, then why is the President engaged in such a clear cover up and pressure campaign of Members of Congress?
