This Thanksgiving, I’m sending deep gratitude to all my friends and neighbors in Maryland’s beautiful Eighth District, including more than 50,000 besieged federal workers, for their ongoing contributions to our community and our nation. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Negotiations require real give and take. So far, I don’t see any evidence that Witkoff is actually mediating. His approach to Russia just isn’t working. Full interview with DW News here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Xyr...

Every one of you: post at least once a day about some small thing that makes you happy that has nothing to do with politics. This is a hard and fast rule. I won’t be keeping a spreadsheet or anything but if you don’t do it, I’ll know.
I think, for those of us on the political left, we need to address morale as a real and pressing issue that will fuck up our ability to fight if left unaddressed. We *need* to figure out a way to keep people feeling at least minimally good about things even in shitty situations.

Happy Thanksgiving! We’re thankful for all of you, for the voices that rise up, the hearts that refuse to back down, and the courage that keeps the resistance moving forward. Tomorrow, there will be more of us. 💚✊

Because corrupt cowards in the West refuse to defend Europe from Russia, the dominoes are falling as expected.
China, a nuclear power, is preparing the information space to invade not just Taiwan but also Japan, using Russia's exact playbook.
Nuclear proliferation will follow.

⚡️Russia has 'no say' over whether Ukraine can join NATO, Rutte says.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Nov. 26 that Ukraine's accession to the alliance depends on unanimous agreement among member states — not on Russian demands.

Trump and Hegseth are defying the court orders by sending more National Guard troops to DC. This an example of what those six Democrats were calling as unlawful orders.

The National Guard shooting was inevitable.

Military presence with guns deployed to intimidate the civilians they were sworn to protect.

Inevitable, expected, and intended by Steven Miller et al., who have been waiting eagerly for an excuse to bring the boot down.

Here it comes.

NEW: The two shot National Guard troops never should have been in DC. More troops is no answer.

The violence is horrible and unacceptable. Trump, Pete Hegseth, and West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey never should have put the troops in this position.

Tonight, at Law Dork:

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.

Call to Activism

MAGA is stunned into silence as officials confirm the National Guard shooter, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, entered the U.S. in 2021 and was vetted and granted LEGAL ASYLUM by the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION in April 2025.

Their entire narrative just collapsed.

The photos of the Hong Kong fire are heartbreaking. What makes it even worse is knowing that the lack of press freedom and the absence of democratically elected leaders will only hinder a real investigation and meaningful accountability. 香港平安!香港加油!
