Congrats to everyone who covered the obviously bad faith, unprecedentedly illegal, & wildly unconstitutional data theft & dismantling of the federal government by a billionaire criminal Nazi & his henchmen as a legitimate process of β€œgovernment efficiency.” Truly, well done.

Don’t like it. Saliba and Mosquera have played in-game minutes together. They at least have relationship. Starting a new one on a day like today makes me very nervous.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.

Tweet from Marco Rubio: The peace proposal was authored by the U.S. 

It is offered as a strong framework for ongoing negotiations

It is based on input from the Russian side. But it is also based on previous and ongoing input from Ukraine.

What the actual fuck is going on.

America put forward a nearly carbon copy version of the Russian plan for Ukrainian conquest, admitted it and backtracked, then doubles down.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections β€” 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

Notice Mamdani charmed Trump on live TV without backing down on any stances. He didn't water himself down, he didn't even take back calling Trump a fascist. Moderates would say butter him up, or try to appear more right-wing. Voters can see through thatβ€”and evidently so does he!

Hours Before Expected Release, Rikers Detainee Dies After Apparent Seizure Edwin Ramos, 38, was slated to plead guilty and walk free Friday morning. Instead, he became the 13th person to die in city custody this year.

A man died today at the Rikers Island jail complex. He was just hours away from an expected release.

This year, 13 people have now died in the NYC jails. That is *nearly triple* the number of people who died in the NYC jails in all of 2024. www.thecity.nyc/2025/11/21/r...

It’s absolutely crazy that the White House decided back in February that it gets to choose who makes up the press pool each day and everybody just decided to go along with that.

This country is such a fucking joke.

Yep. International students, by and large, are full pay. With this applicant base eroding, it will have to be made up domestically, and there is nowhere near enough US households that can pay close to full boat. We are already seeing gutted curriculum, departments cut, & schools close. More to come

Arsenal's controversial partnership with their sleeve sponsor Visit Rwanda will finish at the end of this season.

It comes a month after the club were in discussions about an extension to the deal.

So what happened?

This is our college system in the US, more specifically STEM graduate programs. They are going to be hollowed out due to huge drops in international applicants (largest percentage being Indian and Chinese). In a system that is already buckling financially, the results are going to be devastating

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit β€” all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families."

Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

Mother Jones has been on fire on the John Roberts beat and, man, I'd love to see our national press pick up this ball.
