Shady Backflash

In February 1931, Albert Einstein was inducted as an honorary member of the Hopi nation in a ceremony conducted at Hopi House on the south rim of the Grand Canyon. The Hopi elders who conducted the ceremony cited Einstein for his commitment to peace and the fraternity of nations on earth.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Rep. Crockett’s Statement on the Supreme Court’s Ruling on Texas’s 2026 Map

They.
Just.
Lie.

SCOTUS: "The Texas maps were drawn for political—not racism—goals."

NARRATOR: "And Texas used racism to achieve those political goals."

Trump and Hegseth, American Executioners

FLORIDA — Woman in scrubs: “I’m a U.S. citizen! Why are you doing this to me??”

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Not only is it an annoying song, it’s also one of those “how the mighty have fallen” tracks, because it can’t help but sit alongside Airplane classics and threaten to diminish the band’s entire storied catalog.

I don’t always agree with Tom Nichols, but he is absolutely correct on this point. Of course seating Mark Kelly would require the complete eradication of MAGA as I don’t see a world where Trump makes any sort of reasonable or even vaguely sane decisions.

Everyone who took part in these murderous attacks on random fishermen needs to go on trial for premeditated murder.

When Bezos changed the Washington Post's editorial board standards to align with “personal liberties and free markets,” he meant his own liberty to become even richer and more powerful, as the rest of America slides into worse economic insecurity and fear.

Did someone* try to assassinate Zelensky with drones targeting his flight to Dublin? Because flying four large drones into the expected flight path (the plane was early) looks like an assassination attempt.

*Yes, obviously Russia is the likely suspect, but not literally the only possibility.

The dregs of the Signal messaging thread. It starts noting "Jeff Goldberg left the group." The JD Vance says, "This chat's kind of dead. Anything going on?" Then one after another person changes their profile name: Scott Messent, Marco Rubio, John Ratcliffe, and Stephen Miller.

Whiskey Pete tried to attack the reliability of @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social by noting that there was one EXTRA text in what Whiskey Pete turned over, on top of what Goldberg published.

This was that text.

Texas Ups the Ante on Its Fight Against Abortion Pills (Podcast) What you need to know about who the legislation targets, and what it could mean for the future of abortion access nationwide.

TLDR: Texas is empowering Any Random Motherfucker to sue abortion pill providers—from Big Pharma to a physician to Susan who happened to have an extra dose of mife in her van—and to win a 10K bounty for their troubles.

And if the plaintiff is related to the fetus, 100K.

Great day for abusers.

how long until Trump bans Chip Somodevilla of Getty from the White House? 😳

To obtain this wrapping paper do we first place our green in a Cava bag and hand it to Tom Homan?

When this mess is over every last reminder of this era must be removed like the enormous shitstain on our nation’s history that it is. East Wing and Rose Garden restoration must occur. If a ballroom is not completely destroyed it needs to be reinvented as a memorial for the sacrifices of immigrants.

There was a 13 point swing last night in TN-07.

If we see a 13 point swing in South Carolina in Nov 2026 Lindsey Graham will be retired and I will be the first ever pediatrician Senator.

@PeteHegseth on X: Let’s make one thing crystal clear: Admiral Mitch Bradley is an American hero, a true professional, and has my 100% support. I stand by him and the combat decisions he has made — on the September 2 mission and all others since. America is fortunate to have such men protecting us. When this @DeptofWar says we have the back of our warriors — we mean it. 01 Dec 25

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

It's wild but not surprising that last week the White House was leaning into "these seditious Democrats dared suggest that troops were receiving illegal orders!!!" and this week they are scrambling to figure out who to blame for issuing illegal orders.

I don’t want to be pollyannish about the past, but it was basically inconceivable twenty years ago that a president would say this publicly

Most arrested in some big city immigration crackdowns had no criminal record, new data shows In some cities where federal agents have conducted large-scale immigration operations that officials said would largely target criminals, more people without criminal records were detained in recent m...

I honestly have never looked for podcasts on there. I dont listen to them very often and on the rare occasion that I do I just use the podcast app on my iPhone to play them.

What I miss about Spotify is that I dumped so much into it that the algorithm had me dialed in, but I bet I can rebuild that.

I put in the mental health break to account for her humanity and say, yeah, take a breather, but there’s really not much time for a very long breather.

Stating the obvious once again: when this is all over the public needs to see Nuremberg style trials to demonstrate accountability for these gross violations of the law by these cruel and unprincipled goon squads.

This is a breaking of the Constitutional compact so egregious it would justify [REDACTED] but also [REDACTED] but I would settle for [REDACTED] with a spoon.
