It’s not online I don’t think, but I had a FLAWLESS dad joke on TV today so I would like you all to enjoy it.

As the FBI’s deputy director, Dan Bongino receives some of the country’s most sensitive secrets, including the President’s Daily Brief. His ascent to that position without passing a standard bureau background check is unprecedented, insiders say.

This entire administration is a national security risk

Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump is lying about her interactions with him — and posted their text exchanges today about the Epstein files.

A sitting member of Congress just posted her messages with the president of the United States.

We created a searchable database with all 20,000 files from Epstein’s Estate Easily find every mention of Trump, Clinton, blackmail, and potential sex crimes in the thousands of private messages between Epstein and his close associates.

Have you seen our viral new database? COURIER created an easy way for you to search all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate.

(Note: Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents.)

Matter of Miguel Angel Otoniel CAHUEC TZALAM, Respondent Decided November 14, 2025 U.S. Department of Justice Executive Office for Immigration Review Board of Immigration Appeals Given the respondent’s failure to submit evidence of his prima facie eligibility for special immigrant juvenile classification and the extended delay in the availability of a visa, the Immigration Judge erred in granting administrative closure. FOR THE RESPONDENT: Pro se FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY: Maria I. Flores, Assistant Chief Counsel BEFORE: Board Panel: MALPHRUS, Chief Appellate Immigration Judge; HUNSUCKER and VOLKERT, Appellate Immigration Judges. MALPHRUS, Chief Appellate Immigration Judge:

Gary Malphrus strikes again: the Board of Immigration Appeals rules that immigration judges should generally NOT grant administrative closure to children who are eligible for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status, simply because the backlogs are lengthy and it might take 4-5 years to get the visa.

“Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager With Pam Bondi’s Co-Worker Chris Dorworth”

it’s instructive to point out that not only did Matt Gaetz rape a homeless teenager, he raped a homeless teenager with former Florida state Rep Chris Dorworth, who was a coworker with Attorney General Pam Bondi at Ballard Partners

If the NYT told the story of the homeless teenager exploited by Matt Gaetz with even half as much empathy as it tells the story of Olivia Nuzzi, it would be in danger of committing journalism.

Importers are still going to keep prices higher than they were pre-tariffs in case Trump changes his mind.

Greg Abbott took a call from Trump, then gerrymandered Texas to give Republicans five extra seats. CA voters passed Prop 50 overwhelmingly to neutralize Trump.

So why is Trump suing California voters and not Texas Republicans? 🤨

‘Pluribus’ Episode 3: Negative Nancy at the Ice Hotel Spotify video

Happy Friday, Donut Lickers.

This sort of thing raises obvious ethical problems for lawyers & should lead to bar discipline.

But assuming regulators have an appetite for a case like this (do they, @gokp.bsky.social @dodrummond.bsky.social @badlawyerpod.bsky.social?), I imagine proof would be difficult.

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.

Another excellent episode of #Pluribus.

Not a spoiler, just an observation: If the hive mind really wants to “sell” joining to Carol, the best approach might be to frame it as reuniting with Helen. Big risk of backfire though.

I guess I am hitting a nerve, because they just put me on admin leave. TikTok video by Jenna

Trump’s HHS put me on “non-disciplinary” admin leave today. This was retaliation for speaking up. Moves like this are designed to silence us. Let’s not let.

If you have been put on leave or are being fired because of comments you made in your personal capacity about and during the shutdown, please, reach out to me — Signal is crg.32 and I'm fairly easy to find on any platform.

Trump administration prepares to fire worker for TV interview about SNAP The USDA employee warned that the shutdown could have negative impacts on the millions of Americans who rely on the federal government to put food on the table.

When historians look back at this era, they will read things like this and wonder how it all happened. A legal opinion comparing extrajudicial killings to police exceeding speed limits. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

pedophilia is the president's worst issue

That's a GOP senator not just defying Trump, but trolling him.

If Kennedy is a yes on releasing the Epstein files, they may well have the 2/3rds needed to override a veto. 1

Many of us are living in trauma everyday.

Trauma activates our 🧠’s fight or flight response and we begin noting as many details as possible, even if we don’t realize it.

🔥Russian oil terminal in the port of Novorossiysk is under attack.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

Five ways Joe Rogan misleads listeners about climate change  » Yale Climate Connections Rogan exposes millions to climate denial. Let’s break down his tactics.

I've been staying out of this but invoking Julie Brown here takes a hell of a nerve considering that she scooped the NYT on a shoestring budget with working with one other person at her paper and she did it because she was persistent and she cared about the girls.

Trump plans shock Venezuela strikes within days The President was briefed by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth , Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine, sources confirmed.
