"Ukraine must “enshrine in its constitution” a promise to never join NATO. Ukraine must shrink the size of its armed forces to 600,000, down from 900,000. Ukraine may not host foreign troops on its soil. Ukraine must hold new elections within 100 days, a demand not made of Russia, a dictatorship"

Beautiful!

I was looking at protest photos from NC and if this isn’t the shadiest, most southern ass sign… I love you, Durham!

Excited that I just submitted my author meets critics panel for the 2026 APSA. Very ready to see my book Coverage Denied out in the world in April, and immensely in awe of the group of scholars that has agreed to comment on it!

Please share & give if you can to help Ahmad's family survive Israel's continuing genocide, which has left them homeless & starving in harsh winter conditions. Support has slowed a lot since the 'ceasefire; and Ahmad's only been able to raise 602 euros so far on his new fundraiser:

well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.

Incredible

Dare to dream

who is following you dorks that you feel the need to repeatedly post that mtg is not on the side of the angels. it feels like spending a lot of time telling people not to eat hams they find on the ground

Wow, she’s cranking.

We deserve this.

Amazing

Total chill

Ryan did say that was part 1.

Damn, this is the stuff!

honestly a huge round of applause to FT for finding their angle on this. saw the headline and laughed out loud

😂

In response to the allegations in Mr. Lizza's post, Ms. Nuzzi's lawyer, Ari Wilkenfeld, said in a statement, "In 'American Canto, Ms. Nuzzi discusses the only instance in her long career as a journalist in which she had an improper relationship with someone she was covering."

Now there’s a curiously phrased nondenial.

How did this day just get better?

Trump just threw Elise Stefanik under a bus that Mamdani just made free.

@Acyn Mamdani: I have spoken about the Israeli government committing genocide and our government funding it and I shared about the concern that New Yorkers of wanting their tax dollars to go to the benefit of New Yorkers and what we see right now we are in the ninth consecutive year of children being homeless…

Zohran Mamdani standing beside the President of the United States just said that the US is funding Israel's genocide and yet can't take care of its own unhoused children on live television.

I never thought I'd see something like that in my lifetime

Growing up my friend lived on the same street as Wozniak and on Halloween he gave out full bars and we stanned for him then and we stan for him now.

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA IN RE: SUBPOENA NO. 25-1431-014 : MISCELLANEOUS ACTION : : NO. 25-39 MEMORANDUM KEARNEY,J. November 21, 2025 Our elected Congresspersons granted the Department of Justice limited authority in 1996 to investigate federal health care offenses involving the labeling and distribution of prescription drugs. The Department of Justice is now investigating the labeling and distribution of prescribed clinically authorized puberty blockers and hormone therapy. It subpoenaed fifteen categories of records from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia including billing and insurance records, communications with manufacturers and sales representatives, and the names and complete medical and psychological records of children receiving gender-affirming care. The Hospital agrees to produce most of the requested materials. But it objects to producing the identities of its child patients and their families along with their confidential medical files. Its objection requires we study two questions: whether Congress authorized a subpoena for the children's confidential medical records, and, if so, whether the children's privacy interests outweigh the Department of Justice's need for these confidential medical records under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. We find the answer to both questions is "no." We strike the three requests for these child- identifying and treatment and disclosure records as beyond the authority granted by Congress. We also find, even if this private information could be relevant, the heightened privacy interests of children and their families substantially outweighs the Department's need to know the children's names, addresses, and treatment along with disclosures for gender-affirming care at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Trump never looked that happy when JD was in the room

One thing that works well for Zohran Mamdani is that he is maybe the most relentlessly on message politician I have ever seen.
