news w/ @erikwemple.bsky.social: The Washington Post's foreign correspondents, including those in Ukraine, are pleading with Jeff Bezos not to slash the paper's coverage of the world. "We urge you to consider how the proposed layoffs will certainly lead us first to irrelevance and later extinction."

Murphy on Bovino: "That was a bone-chilling interview. I was shaking while I was listening to it, in large part bc it takes just an unbelievable amount of gall to lie to the American public. Everybody saw that video ... it should freak the public out that the Trump administration lies this easily"

I don’t like her AT ALL … but … helllloooo.

Unacceptable.

Didn’t we stop interfering in this way in the 80s because it does. not. work?

JFC. This is literally my nightmare. Venezuela bombing and kidnappings isn’t enough???

My Quaker-loving self that has never been able to wrap my brain fully around their pacifism testimony now finally gets it.

Trump is a menace.

BREAKING: Here’s the 60 Minutes Segment Trump and CBS News Executives Don’t Want You to See Hours before it was set to air last night, CBS News executives pulled the segment, but Canada’s Global TV app received it prior to broadcast.

A must-watch. The 60 Minutes “cancelled” story in full. No paywall.

Soooo …

I guess Trump has given up on trying to force people to give him the Nobel Peace Prize and is just going straight into war-mongering-dictator mode?

I hate this country under Trump.

PBS: “BRUTAL POLL for Republicans… Americans more dissatisfied with Trump’s handling of the economy than ever… more believe Dems better on the economy… Republicans are losing women… just 38% approved of Trump…” www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Haaaa! Now that’s funny. And true.

The ego of this guy. The National Parks Pass America, the “America the beautiful pass”, has now been tarnished with Trump‘s face. Buy now in December and it’s good until Decemeber 20/6 and then buy in... TikTok video by Zac Bowling’s Other Account

Trump’s ego is just insane. Now he’s on the National Park’s pass? And non citizens have to pay $250 more?????

So now Trump is saying the “war” in Venezuela is going to go to land. We literally are going to invade a country because Trump wants their oil. Insane.

Expressions of overt sadism being normalized and even celebrated is deeply troubling.

Maga math

Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, would be alive today if Donald J. Trump hadn't callously used her as a prop to provoke violence he wished to opportunistically use as a pretext to impose authoritarian rule.

Opinion | The Ambush on the National Guard The alleged shooting by an Afghan ‘partner’ shouldn’t condemn all who assisted the U.S. and now live here.

🎁 link to the WSJ editorial that made Stephen Miller so mad.

"It would be a shame if this single act of betrayal became the excuse for deporting all Afghan refugees...

"Thousands are building new lives here in peace. Collective punishment won’t make America safer."

You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up.

Your 70% number is just a fabrication.

And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.

Ugh. This is why I’m sooo bad at editing my work.

Mamdani seems like he has the Bill Clinton magic quality of being able to make anyone talking to him feel special (I think even Newt felt charmed by Clinton in person!). Trump loves him lol

That would be the same journalist that wrote Epstein to warn him that about her reporter was digging into Epstein’s activities.

Trump Administration to Drastically Cut Housing Grants

This is far worse than anyone expected.

Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.

All as mass internment camps are being built.

New York Times social media guidelines prohibit expression suggesting partiality on things like ICE, execution of foreigners in fishing boats, or whether law is a thing.

However, tipping off notorious serial pedophiles about other reporters is absolutely fine.

I just googled this man like 'ew who tf is this Tom Barrack guy' and the answer is the sitting, Donald Trump-appointed U.S. Ambassador to Turkey

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.
