The Pedo-Protector Prez ordered a brand new distraction & the Dept. of War (actually the Dept. of Defense: a mini-distraction within a distraction, no extra charge!) is delivering by expanding our ongoing unlawful policy of randomly bombing the tiny boats of fishermen with no due process whatsoever.

Well done @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Many were always suspicious that cancel culture, which doesn't exist, was simply people trying to punish reprehensible behavior.

Jeffrey Epstein claims he gave Russians insight into Trump Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.

Well it's been a pretty intense day of academic administration I guess I'll just check in on the news events of the day ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?! www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Jeffrey Epstein in 2018: "i know how dirty donald is."

Here's the full Summers email, btw.

Sure, be mad I voted for Mamdani — I'm still just as Jewish (and Israeli) as you are An Israeli Jew who lives in New York City openly supported Zohran Mamdani. The backlash taught a painful lesson about our divided politics.

My friend Libby Lenkinski speaking out on behalf of the Jews and Israelis for Mamdani contingent.
As she says so eloquently here, you can dislike her political views, but you can't erase her Jewish and Israeli identity. forward.com/opinion/7826...

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

Tell me you don’t understand risk pools without telling me you don’t understand risk pools

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

That’ll be a no from me dawg. Call your local asshole and explain that this ain’t it

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

I feel like everyone around Trump is going to start nodding off in public too, just to make him look normal

Interesting Times with Ross Douthat: Did Women Ruin the Workplace?

Did the New York Times ruin journalism?

If you're a Jewish New Yorker who can't understand why people in your city voted for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social , ask your children. They probably did too.

Trump's USDA is ordering grocery stores to follow a federal rule outlawing them from giving discounts to SNAP recipients whose benefits are currently frozen illegally.

So Trump's happy to finally follow the law as long as long as he can inflict pain and cruelty? Got it.

Wth

Trump: On it! Scott Adams O @ScottAdamsSays On Monday, I will ask President Trump, via X, to help save my life. He offered to help me if I needed it. I need it. As many of you know, I have metastasized prostate cancer. My healthcare provider, Kaiser of Northern California, has approved my application to receive a newly FDA-approved drug called Pluvicto. But they have dropped the ball in scheduling the brief IV to administer it and I can't seem to fix that. I am declining fast. I will ask President Trump if he can get Kaiser of Northern California to respond and schedule it for Monday. That will give me a fighting chance to stick around on this planet a little bit longer. It is not a cure, but it does give good results to manv people.

Trump posts that he’s going to help Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams, who made an appeal to the president on Twitter because his insurer has been too slow to schedule a drug treatment for his cancer.

I was never impressed by Karine Jean-Pierre when she was White House press secretary. But until reading this Q&A in the @NewYorker.com I had no idea how stupid and clueless and naive she is. Staggering.

Dumbest member of the senate, undefeated

My theory is that, for job security, cops want everyone

a) terrified of everything all the time

b) under the mistaken assumption that cops have far more of a dangerous job than they actually do

This is not an either/or proposition. It’s absolutely a both.

this Dan Brown idea is so fucking stupid, obviously 60 Minutes should interview Rene Russo, based on her expertise in the Thomas Crown Affair, have some goddamn sense

Bessent on Trump bailing out Argentina: "It is America first because we are supporting a US ally."

My item today is about how public opinion matters (and why it moves slowly). Trump's falling approval isn't the only reason Penn/Brown reacted differently now than before and Senate Dems are acting differently..but it's part of it. goodpoliticsbadpolitics.substack.com/p/on-it-does...

Ok, that's it. Put me in charge of Polygon.

Couple in front of a bookcase on a Zoom.

Strong point from @leahgreenberg.bsky.social to those worried about the risk of showing up to a #NoKings rally: that risk is small compared to the much larger danger to all of us of living under authoritarianism.
“Under MAGA dominance, we will be LESS safe.”

Chris Murphy gets it. I wish everybody did.

Opinion: Why I'm handing in my Pentagon press pass Tom Bowman has held his Pentagon press pass for 28 years. He says the Pentagon's new media policy makes it impossible to be a journalist, which means finding out what's really going on behind the scen...

A powerful personal testament from Tom Bowman of NPR about the Pentagon attempt to exert complete control over all information. Protecting classified is of course fine. But when neither Fox News nor NY Times sign up to your policy, you should ask yourself if you are getting something very wrong.

Hamas refuses disarmament. Israel says it will go after Hamas tunnels - with US approval - once hostages released. Doesn't exactly sound like peace for the ages or whatever it was Trump called it.
