Used to be, one trait associated with integrity was the ability to acknowledge a mistake, apologize, and attempt to correct it.

Great gods. We are letting this happen in public—imagine what happens behind closed doors— to women and children too—!

The Trump admin submitted a sworn declaration under oath that Costa Rica had changed its mind and would no longer take Mr. Abrego.

Costa Rica has now said publicly that that this is false, that they have not changed their position at all, and that they will still take him.

thinking about how my parents escaped vietnam, where the CIA destabilized my family's home country by spreading misinformation, and they landed in the united states, which is now getting destabilized bc someone in vietnam is spreading misinformation

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Trump is helping Putin, Saudi Princes, & Argentinians. But not his own people! Must be some really selfish reasons!

"The humanities really are a resource — a confidence for living in our times.” Dean Sara Guyer on the modern utility of humanities degrees This interview originally appeared on the Division of Arts

"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation

TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

Many of the biggest problems America faces today have their roots in “forgive & forget” after the Civil War & the violent overthrow of Reconstruction by white supremacists. We can’t afford to repeat those enormous blunders this time. www.hup.harvard.edu/books/978067...

Is Trump going to clarify his statement from a couple days ago that Ukraine must accept the Russian-authored/US translated surrender plan by Thursday, or is he just going to play golf and post about arresting Democrats all day?

DOGE did not fail in any way to accomplish its goals.

Its goals were never efficiency or saving money.

Its goals were to destroy as much of government as possible forever, and to steal data for the Space Nazi.

DOGE is fading away like bank robbery gangs fade away after the robberies are done.

This is correct. But keep in mind that Vance is Peter Thiel's man, and FBI agents revealed that Thiel was the subject of a decade-long RIS influence or recruitment operation run by Putin himself which Putin thought highly successful.

I have been looking at Black Friday sales for a week but I do not actually need anything so instead I closed all those tabs and bought a Polaroid for a foster kid in Florida who uses photography to deal with big feelings. Perhaps you would like to do the same for one of the kids at the link below?

Trump’s One Weird Trick for Eliminating Bad News: Delete It The disappearance of inconvenient facts and the remaking of reality.

"The real threat to our understanding of the U.S. economy, and the country’s health writ large, is that the Trump administration has been quietly snuffing out thousands of data series, particularly those that might produce politically inconvenient results."

Headline: "White House Renews Claims That Settlement With Harvard Is Close."

News story: McMahon’s remarks Thursday aren’t the first time the Trump administration has said it is close to a settlement with Harvard. President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that the White House was on the verge of finalizing a deal with Harvard. When he first announced in June that talks had resumed, he predicted that an agreement would be reached “in the next week or so.” More than four months later, no deal has been announced. Trump previously told reporters in the Oval Office on Sept. 30 that the White House had “reached a deal” for a settlement with Harvard before clarifying that the agreement had not yet been finalized. “All you have to do is paper it, right?” Trump said to McMahon. “It’ll be great.” Trump said in September that reaching a deal would mean that Harvard’s “sins are forgiven.” A settlement would likely resolve multiple federal investigations into the University, which have targeted everything from its ties to the Chinese government to its financial aid formulas. It might also halt attempts to force Harvard to stop enrolling international students and protect the hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding that Harvard researchers receive each year. But the pressure on Harvard to accede to a deal lightened somewhat after a series of favorable decisions from federal judges. A judge agreed this summer to Harvard’s requests to temporarily block revocation of its Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification and a Trump order that would prevent many of Harvard’s international students from entering the U.S. In response to a separate lawsuit by Harvard, a judge agreed to restore billions of dollars in multiyear federal funding that the Trump administration attempted to freeze this spring.
