This is such a charming game. I don't even like soccer and still was touched. It captures so much about childhood.
One thing we hear consistently about despelote is how much its writing resonates with people around the world—it's a personal story, in the best way.

He is not the President of the women of the U.S., it is obvious. Only ones he thinks are pretty or the right weight, I guess. What a 🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷‼️

I really enjoyed this very short book which would be a great gift for anyone this holiday season. Cleverly written, well narrated. Put it on your wish list till after the economic blackout. Then buy it!

Pete Hegseth is not the "secretary of war" just because he keeps using the term, any more than the Gulf of Mexico is the Gulf of America or Donald Trump is a great American. Saying so don't make it so.

As NASHVILLE crews sound the 🚨 about tunnel safety concerns and walk out, worth remembering just last week it was reported the NV governor got fines against Boring dropped when firefighters & workers “suffered chemical burns” in Vegas

Are they counting on that from @GovBillLee?

Karoline could make this problem go away if she wanted to. But will she want to? Sounds like they may be happy to have this woman out of their way.

The brother/husband says his only concern is his son.

(This story does not endear the Leavitt family to me.)

Also, does she use her maiden name?
"A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts."

Bolsonaro is what happens when six Supreme Court justices aren't co-conspirators.
November 26, 2025 at 1:28 PM
Carlos accidentally admits there was a coup attempt. Trump accidentally admits (and now denies) he spoke with Bolsonaro on Saturday.

These are not masterminds.

We need to fix this picture because they should both be in jail

Trump and Bolsonaro . . .

... two brothers in spirit - two traitors to their country.

One convicted man goes to prison, the other convicted man sits in the White House.

Daily Beast: Trump’s tariffs have driven up the price of artificial Christmas trees this year.

ICE is using a new app called Mobile Fortify to scan people's faces and determine their immigration status.

The government's use of biased, unreliable facial recognition tech to supercharge its mass deportation campaign endangers all of our rights.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Lucian gets it.
The fundamental contradiction of this conflict has still not been resolved: Ukrainians require the wherewithal to deter future aggression; the Kremlin will not rest until Ukraine is subordinated (and Zelensky out of office). ⚔️

If Trump says it’s a hoax. It’s definitely not a hoax.

It’s Thanksgiving time so I’m going to list a few things. I’m thankful for.
I’m thankful that I finally beat one of the chess bots on Duolingo.
I’m thankful that for all the great people have met this year, here and elsewhere.
I’m thankful that it appears the GOP is falling apart.

Very interesting take
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

The fact that #rachelmaddow has full evidence that #trump tried to help #Bolsonaro flee to #USA during his escape should be a MUCH bigger story than it has been in the media

But oligarchs now control all the media in #USA and shut the story down
