This is a CNBC must-watch. Josh Brown sums up Trump Admin perfectly. It’s all about Javier Milei. And (my words, not his) Elon is the puppet master. Elon is trying to Argentine-ize the U.S.

Do NOT F with Marilyn Whirlwind from #NorthernExposure These ICE atrocities are so shameful. History will reflect so poorly on the terrible people carrying this out.

I’m guessing this will trigger huge protests.
Trump says he will “fix” the reflecting pool. No sign on a healthcare fix yet though.

Trump’s next target for destruction is the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. I can only imagine what sort of white trash gold coated monstrosity Trump will replace the Reflecting Pool with. #ProudBlue

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is next on Trump's destruction list.

"Study it hard because you won’t be seeing this Biden filth and incompetence much longer!"

Hey MAGA, how many of you think the reflecting pool is Biden's work?

I am so goddamn sick of this thug.

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.

Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

It’s looking more and more like Trump has run a very bad set-up scam. As I said yesterday, it’s a nothing-burger, he’s just managed to spill most of it down his shirt.

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.

⚡️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.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

There will be some valid redactions. But the feeling among most of us who worked for DOJ is that Justice & the FBI have redacted all information that hurts Trump.

I went to a gathering of former federal prosecutors this month. We have lost faith in DOJ.

Holy gas lighting answer, Batman. She asked him why they picked a company only around for 3 months and he goes on to say "come and see all the people we're saving their lives!"
NDP - How did the government get advice that a company that had only been in existence for three months was world renowned and then hand them $70 milllion?

On Nov. 19, the Board of Appeals denied the Teamsters' appeal regarding the city's zoning determination for a Mission site DoorDash plans to use for drone testing.

Today, the Teamsters appealed that decision.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
