Why does the President have zero clue about one of the most corrupt pardons he's made so far?

Donald Trump is a crook, whether he knows it or not.

I hope all the haters who trashed Dodger fans during the Series (that includes you Scherzer) can see them flooding the streets of downtown LA today!

Poll: Frustration with Trump gives Democrats an opening a year before the midterms Around two-thirds of voters say Trump has not lived up to their expectations on the economy and the cost of living, according to the new NBC News poll.

Oh look, pundits and popularists wrong again:

"Protecting democracy and constitutional rights is a top issue to voters, alongside costs...a majority of voters believe he’s done more to undermine the Constitution than defend it."

George Clooney says replacing Joe Biden with Kamala Harris β€˜was a mistake’ Actor says Harris β€˜was given a very tough task’ because β€˜she had to run against her own record’, and extends an olive branch to Hunter Biden

Playing armchair QB from his Lake Como villa, Clooney decided Biden wasn’t a viable candidate, and now he wants to wash his hands of Harris. Thanks for your help George, but those of us living through this authoritarian nightmare are done with your nonsense www.theguardian.com/film/2025/no...

Opinion | Trump’s politicizing of the U.S. military is accelerating Why are so many generals getting fired? Congress should summon them to find out.

Max Boot: The rate of boat strikes has roughly doubled since Adm Alvin Holsey’s departure as head of Southern Command was announced in mid-October. Evidently Hegseth has found more-compliant officers who will do Trump’s bidding even if, in the process, they risk a future court martial.

Sixty Minutes of Fiction How CBS Let Trump’s Lies Go Unchecked

Sixty Minutes of Fiction: Trump’s latest 60 Minutes interview wasn’t journalism β€” it was a masterclass in unchecked disinformation. For an hour, he fired off lies about nukes, wars, inflation, and migrants while CBS nodded along. No fact-checks. No pushback. Just prime-time fiction packaged as newsπŸ‘‡

Fox News Can’t Tell What’s Real Anymore part 2 #foxnews #viral TikTok video by The Bulwark dh

Ugh. The right wing bullshit machine is pumping out and amplifying fake videos (Sora, AI) of Black people talking about SNAP benefits, videos oozing with racist stereotypes, to justify / distract from the real human suffering that the SNAP suspension is going to cause. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMqbgpgj/

House Speaker Mike Johnson signed bill cutting $186B from SNAP in July 2025 Users shared this true claim amid uncertainty regarding whether Americans would receive federal food benefits during the 2025 government shutdown.

Don’t take it from me, listen to Snopes! Speaker Johnson signed a bill to cut $186 billion from SNAP. And again, it’s HIS party that won’t help millions of Americans put food on the table this month.

If your newspaper is giving Donald Trump softer headlines and gauzier coverage than People Magazine, that should be a bit of a wake up call.

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

This is so beautiful. It brings to mind Vin Scully and my late father, a poet who spent a lifetime loving baseball.

US carries out new strike in Caribbean, killing 3 alleged drug smugglers The U.S. military has carried out another lethal strike on alleged drug smugglers in the Caribbean Sea.

This administration is putting military families at risk, because following illegal orders is a non-defensible position in a court of law.

Killing human beings without any proof of a crime is called murder.

Pentagon concedes Trump admin. doesn’t know who it’s killed in boat strikes Who has the U.S. killed in recent boat strikes? It’s a problem that we don’t know. It’s an even bigger problem that the administration doesn’t know, either.

A bold patriotic-style infographic from Stand Up For Science showing a large star and the phrase β€œKEEP AMERICA FED!” It says the shutdown puts SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans at risk. Three steps are listed: 1) Identify a food bank in your community. 2) Collect non-perishable foods. 3) Drop off collected goods once a week. Footer link: standupforscience.net/sufs-food-drive.

The science is clear - SNAP reduces food insecurity, improves health outcomes, and lower healthcare costs.

Although fed judges ruled the admin can NOT withhold SNAP disbursements, it appears they plan to do just that.

We’re mobilizing a national food drive - join hereπŸ‘‡

The people on the right getting mad at Tucker Carlson for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on his podcast don’t seem to have gotten mad at all at Donald Trump for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at his home for dinner. Funny that.
