But we are supposed to believe that the administration’s attack on higher education is about fighting anti-semitism.
OK

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

One of the people arrested on September 27 at Broadview was a 70-yo Air Force veteran who was hospitalized with his injuries from ICE assault. First charged w/felony, then misdemeanor.
He was going to call Greg Bovino at trial.
It just got dismissed.

NEW: Federal judge rules Trump's D.C. troop invasion is likely illegal, must end by Dec. 11.
National Guard troops have been in D.C. since August. A federal judge ruled Thursday that both deployments — D.C. National Guard and out-of-state troops — likely violate the law.
Tonight, at Law Dork:
"US Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and that more than 400,000 US troops died fighting against in World War II, as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month."

An important part of the job for any WH Press Secretary is to clean up remarks made by the president or offer explanation/context or apology when warranted. But Leavitt never does that. She always crafts a response that makes it even worse by adding her own toxic twist.

There is nothing “new” is the Russia peace plan endorsed by Trump/Witkoff. It’s the same outlandish Putin demands. Shocked that Trump/Rubio are refloating this garbage again. Thought they had learned how ridiculous Putins demands were.

This latest twist in the Trump/Russia/Ukraine saga may well rekindle some of the darkest fears about the Trump/Putin connection and about a Trump plan to force Ukraine into de facto capitulation. And yet, there might be no peace plan at all. @cathyyoung63.bsky.social:
20.11.2025 15:05 — 👍 94 🔁 32 💬 14 📌 0The US and Russia announcing a joint peace plan for Ukraine won’t work because the US isn’t fighting, Ukraine is.
Putin has always been ready to accept Ukraine’s surrender.
Trump’s “peace plans” have always been “Ukraine should reward Russia’s aggression.”
And Ukraine’s answer has always been no.
Corruption at every level of government. Inconvenient truths are eradicated.

Lindsey Halligan's confession that she didn't re-present the indictment to the grand jury creates problems even beyond the fact that that likely means there's no indictment.
Count 2 of the existing indictment relies on the count grand jurors rejected.

In the late 1960s, air quality was so bad in several cities they had to turn on the street lights during the day so drivers could see. And yeah, the Cuyahoga River was so polluted it literally caught on fire.
