Your columnist is a moron.

Raul Malo, the soulful tenor and frontman of The Mavericks, has died at age 60 Malo was battling colon cancer and later leptomeningeal disease, a rare complication when cancer spreads to membranes around the brain and spinal cord.

Listening to a lot of The Mavericks today in honor of the passing of Raul Malo, a simply unforgettable singer who was one of the great male voices in pop music. He was 60. RIP. apnews.com/article/raul...

Now Duke can go play in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl

The online version has been fixed.

This is one of the more atrocious errors I’ve ever seen in the Post. “32 teams for a trophy,” when the graphic clearly, correctly shows 48 teams. How many people saw and failed to fix this?

Bongino saying the quiet--and cynical--part out loud.

In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that.

What a confession.

This seems like more than adderall. Much more

The White House surrenders at 138 million views. Sabrina wins.

This is monumentally hypocritical, and of course he knows it. These Trump goons get off on doing this right in front of our eyes. It makes them feel powerful.

Agriculture Dept. Threatens to Withhold Food Stamps From Democratic States

This is where we are now. Families are starving in the wealthiest nation in the world.

Meanwhile the president is intentionally trying to cut off food for hungry people who live in states that did not vote for him.

It's not just immoral — it's un-American.

Man this is a big loss. The heart of so many soul bands. RIP Steve Cropper

I hope all the folks standing behind Trump feel real good about being the backdrop for the racist ravings of a jerk.

NEW: The commutation Trump issued to David Gentile wipes away all further fines & restitution.

Gentile had been sentenced to 7 years for his role in a $1.6B scheme that defrauded thousands of investors.

Can't wait to see what you do in this job. RS has continued to do top-flight journalism and you will continue the history of that hallowed post.

Have been a very longtime print subscriber to @rollingstone.com and @vanityfair.com. Which to renew? Rolling Stone hired @mattbaidc.bsky.social for its national correspondent job. Vanity Fair hired Olivia Nuzzi to be its LA bureau chief. Rolling Stone it is! Goodbye Vanity Fair, you were once great.

Ex-Honduras president, convicted of drug trafficking, freed on Trump pardon A former DEA agent called the release “devastating”: “It means any attempt to work your investigations to the highest levels is meaningless.”

Full pardon for the convicted drug trafficker who helped move 400 tons of cocaine. Death by airstrike for the guys on the boat www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

The Ex-President Whom Trump Plans to Pardon Flooded America With Cocaine

Great NYT piece (gift link) on “The Ex-President Whom Trump Plans to Pardon Flooded America With Cocaine” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/n...

His unit mate said Lakanwal sought help in June from a CIA program designed to aid Zero Unit veterans with immigration issues. Rolling Stone reviewed a screenshot of the group chat in June where Zero Unit veterans shared information with a CIA representative about ongoing issues. Lakanwal posted messages asking for help. His last post went unanswered and was deleted by the chat’s administrator. Rolling Stone called the CIA representative in the text chat, who claimed it was a wrong number. A request for comment from the CIA was not returned. Lakanwal, according to an Associated Press report and confirmed by his unit mate, would swing from “long, dark stretches of isolation,” sometimes going weeks without speaking even to his family to “manic” episodes, during which he would take off on sudden, weeks-long cross-country drives, traveling to places like Chicago or Arizona.

The Afghan Zero Unit community is tight-knit. At one point, during a trip to Texas last year, I watched as a group of veterans took over a shisha restaurant with more than 20 sitting at one table, laughing and smoking. Bonded by combat and the pain of losing their country, they are part of a lost generation of Afghans who believed America’s promise of democracy and sacrificed everything for it. But most of all Zero Unit veterans were heartbroken by Ratcliffe’s comments that they should never have been allowed to come to the United States because after fighting shoulder to shoulder with the CIA for almost 20 years, they are the next sacrifice on the altar of expediency. The only certainty in U.S. foreign policy from the last helicopter out of Saigon in 1975 to the Kurds after the Gulf War in 1991 to the 2020 Doha Accords and the Afghan evacuation in 2021, is that American loyalty comes with an expiration date.

Come for the description of Rahmanullah Lakanwa
feeling abandoned by the CIA.

Stay for the description of the entire group feeling abandoned by John Ratcliffe's attempt to disown the murder.
