Our daily reminder that these people don’t believe anything.

Democrats, take a lesson from RepJoeNeguse on how to handle and answer questions from the media. This is how to reclaim the narrative and make your point.👏👏👏💙😎

Trump Administration Admits It Doesn’t Know Who Exactly It’s Killing in Boat Strikes Officials acknowledged they don’t know the identities of the people they’re killing and can’t meet the evidentiary burden to prosecute survivors.

Hitler put the houseless in camps too. He labeled them with the black triangle and called them arbeitsscheu.

BREAKING: The full bench of the 9th circuit has agreed to take up the Portland National Guard case and vacated the panel decision that had blessed Trump’s deployment.

There are two things that guarantee massive instability in authoritarian regimes, not paying the military and starving the citizenry. Trump is now managing to do both at the same time.

During the government shutdown, President Trump:
 
- Raised $250 million from billionaires for a ballroom
- Gave Qatar an Air Force facility in Idaho
- Doubled Argentina's bailout to $40 billion
 
What happened to America First?

But if we hold trials for him and his henchmen in that abominable hall, we can at least imagine the presidents before him would be pleased.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

So Trump bulldozed a third of the White House complex. And they’re trying to keep the photos off limits.

this seems like a true "judges only do this when they're very distressed"

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway.

They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

We need to talk about last night at ICE in Portland.

So much of last night was bait, but not in a way I've seen before.

I specifically want to talk about the removal of Joey Gibson.

So top Portland cops wrote & *testified* that fed agents have been "instigating and causing" conflict.

They said agents were firing pepper balls unprovoked and "without any apparent warning"

When a Portland chief called a federal agent w/ Qs, the agent hung up.

What’s the value of owning the place where open source lives?

code can be forked
maintainers can leave
users can abandon

Then what lives in the repositories?

Trust. Trust lives there, but only if everyone agrees.

If you destroy trust to become owner, then what do you own?

A kingdom of ashes.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc
