I think Sean Duffy has watched "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" one too many times. #DelGriffith for Transportation Secretary!

What a lovely room. I would love to live here. 📚✨

Listening to @davidkurtz.bsky.social talk about the scuttling of Tr*mp’s prosecution of Comey and James. 👇

Former DOJ lawyer whose remarks about Epstein files were recorded sues over firing In the lawsuit, Joseph Schnitt claims he was secretly recorded during private conversations with a woman he met on Hinge.

Some serious ratf*ery going on here. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

I lived life as an autistic person for 41 years, and frankly it's wild to see someone who views your existence as a blight elevated to a position of such consequence. I generally see no reason to discuss being on the spectrum publicly, but I'll make an exception for this vile eugenicist. 1/x

Reuters has confirmed that President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and his special envoy Steve Witkoff held a private meeting in Miami with a sanctioned Kremlin proxy to help shape the new "peace plan" for Ukraine. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

I really did not have “Kathy Hochul understands this political moment better than almost anyone else in the Democratic Party” on my bingo card but here we are

Slotkin: I’m not going to be dissuaded from standing up for the Constitution just because he threatens us. I’m not going to let him intimidate us out of speaking our minds.

Trump's rants against Democrats have inspired everything from death threats and pipe bombs to the January 6th assault on the Capitol.

This is a time to take him literally and seriously.

Here’s the video that has the president of the US shrieking in rage and calling for public executions.

Franco Died 50 Years Ago, but He’s Still Winning New Fans in Spain

As literary agent, I'm representing a novel set during the Spanish Civil War, so was shocked but not surprised to see nostalgia in Spain for Franco and his murderous, dictatorial regime. #Spain www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/w...

What a song, "Join Ice," but don't really.

JUST IN: A tidal wave of 30,000 students hit the streets in Charlotte, walking out to confront ICE with sheer numbers and zero hesitation.

This is a generation refusing to be controlled.

On Camera, Fed Agents Point Guns at Mother and Four Kids in Queens The agents came looking for a relative who no longer lived there and didn't show a warrant or identify themselves. Days later, the children are terrified to leave their parents' sides.

I loved Robert Forster later in his career, from Jackie Brown w/Pam Grier and Breaking Bad where he plays the faux vacuum cleaner repairman who can make fugitives disappear, didn't know of his theater career.

Nice to find I'm this photo in the roundup on the @talkingpointsmemo.com site, on the upper right side. Didn't realize I'd wandered into a VIP event that night!
