WOWWWWW— that didn’t take long: “Crews walk out on on Nashville tunnel, claiming Musk’s Boring Company Failed to Pay Workers and Snubbed OSHA concerns”

As we suspected, that absurd not-a-town-hall with Steve Davis aged like guacamole 🥑 nashvillebanner.com/2025/11/25/b...

John Cleese tweets thanking someone for making him laugh after spending an hour and a half in a dentist’s chair. Embedded is a Fox News screenshot of a White House press briefing where Karoline Leavitt claims it's “ridiculous” to say Trump does anything for his own benefit.

She thinks anyone with ears and a brain actually believes her. Ahahaha!

This should be a major scandal. The Blaze falsely reported that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer was the Jan. 6th pipe bomber. But it wasn’t just another miss by conservative media promoting conspiracies.

Someone in US intel - at ODNI - was promoting it:

Yikes.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff isn’t working for the US, or for humanity. He’s working for Vladimir Putin. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Lawmakers reminding troops to follow the law should not trigger FBI interviews. Full stop.

ACLU lawyers name Emil Bove, now a federal judge, as possible witness in contempt inquiry The former DOJ official — who was Trump's criminal defense lawyer before that — is one of nine names submitted to Judge Boasberg. And, for paid subscribers: Closing my tabs.

This evening, at Law Dork:

This is the argument for "pre-existing conditions." Like being a woman.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

This is exactly what you do
With presidents who coup

A tweet from “The Tennessee Holler” quotes Sen. Mark Kelly criticizing a Trump administration claim, saying the issue is about media cycles and intimidation, not law, and that the uniform code of military justice is being misrepresented. Below is an image from The Rachel Maddow Show showing Rachel Maddow on the left and Mark Kelly on the right.

They hate Sen. Kelly because he is everything they are not: a true soldier, brave, honest and determined to defend our Constitution.

President Trump may have had enough of Kash Patel, according to sources The president is weighing whether to oust the FBI director after scrutiny of Patel's stewardship of bureau resources, including his girlfriend’s security detail and use of a government jet.

BREAKING MS NOW:

Trump is considering removing Kash Patel as FBI director in the coming months, as he and his top aides have grown increasingly frustrated by the unflattering headlines Patel has recently generated, according to three people with knowledge of the situation.

BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro begins serving 27-year prison sentence.

Mayor Johnson says 'absolute failure' of justice, mental health systems led to fire attack on Blue Line “This individual was charged with dozens of felonies over the past three decades," Mayor Brandon Johnson told a City Hall press conference.

You tell me how sending the National Guard into Chicago would fix this problem. Better mental health services might help, but Trump has cut funding.

It’s disgusting that the criminal president eagerly awaits the next high-profile crime in Chicago so he can seize upon it as an excuse to punish a city that detests him.

ICE Offers Up to $280 Million to Immigrant-Tracking ‘Bounty Hunter’ Firms Immigration and Customs Enforcement lifted a $180 million cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program while guaranteeing multimillion-dollar payouts for private surveillance firms.

NEW: ICE had initially planned a limited pilot program to hire bounty hunters and private investigators for immigrant tracking.

The agency has now scrapped that plan and is going all-in, removing the program’s spending cap and offering up to $280M to any given contractor.

My statement on FBI request for interviews.

WASHINGTON — Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO-06), Congressman Chris Deluzio (D-PA- 17), Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander (D-NH-02), and Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA-06) released the following joint statement: "President Trump is using the FBI as a tool to intimidate and harass Members of Congress. "Yesterday, the FBI contacted the House and Senate Sergeants at Arms requesting interviews. "No amount of intimidation or harassment will ever stop us from doing our jobs and honoring our Constitution. "We swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath lasts a lifetime, and we intend to keep it. We will not be bullied. We will never give up the ship."

The same House members who warned service members that they must refuse unlawful orders from President Trump are now saying the FBI is attempting to intimidate them into silence.

Punchbowl also reporting that Senator Mark Kelly has heard from the FBI.

I would decline to voluntarily cooperate. No way. Issue a subpoena and fight it out in court.

Pamela Jo has until December 20th to release the Epstein files. She must include explanations for everything she redacts or withholds.

He’s the absolute worst of us. This Thanksgiving, as you sit around the table with family & friends, be the opposite of Trump. Pledge this Thanksgiving to be the exact opposite of Trump.👇

It rocks that it took the White House a year to figure out that driving up people’s healthcare spending for no reason by roughly 18million percent would be something they’d have to address politically

HAHAHA! HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS ARE FUNNY! DEHUMANIZING IS FUN! HAHA! WE'RE HAVING FUN!

I think he misread, and it said “beef tallow smoothies”…which, well, I have questions. But I’m not sure I want the answers. I’ll just sit here and [[[[shudder]]]] instead.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.
