Back on the old site, I had a pinned list of all the things planned in Project 2025. Others have been posting attention too, tracking all the things Trump has been implementing:

Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

"insofar as the Court has inquired into the identities of the decisionmaking officials for purposes of making a potential criminal referral, the actions were taken by DHS (through Secretary Noem) after being formally advised about compliance with this Court’s order" by both DHS and DOJ counsel.

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:

“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

The former DOJ official — who was Trump's criminal defense lawyer before that — is one of nine names submitted to Judge Boasberg.

There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for this to be happening.

I had a baby die in my arms of pertussis some fifty years ago. It was a HORRIBLE death. But my fellow nurses said to me, "It's almost stamped out now, they're all getting the shots, we won't be seeing this again."

HOW THE FUCK ARE WE HERE. 😡
A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:

“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

"A concept of a plan!"

THERE IT IS!
Trump on his administration's initial Russia-friendly peace plan: "That was not a plan. It was a concept."
November 26, 2025 at 12:37 AM
"He's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia" has a dubious meaning considering that last peace proposal.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?

TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

First ray of hope from Carney during QP today, on the pipeline chronicles:

"We believe that BC has to agree. We believe that First Nation rights holders have to agree."

MOU with Alberta is creating "necessary but not sufficient conditions."

The entire Conservative caucus is losing its mind on X.

There is a version of reality where this phonecall is buttering up an opposing figure to facilitate real negotiations. But Witkoff genuinely took Putin's maximalist negotiation position, slapped his name on it, and went "ok time for peace"

approved despite over 600 speakers signing up to speak to the budget, with all but a tiny number strongly opposed, and following a public engagement survey that found the majority of respondents supported a property tax increase to avoid cuts.
Vancouver's 2026 draft budget has PASSED.

Approved on a 7-4 vote on party lines, with ABC in favour and councillors Fry/Bligh/Orr/Maloney opposed.

Property tax freeze, $50 million more for VPD, and cuts to Arts, Culture, Planning and Sustainability departments, among others.

Full story to come.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Another Vancouver budget amendment from ABC (this one from Klassen), which would give $800,000 to the park board so they won't have to raise community centre fees/permits.

There's no note on what the city will cut by $800,000 to balance this; staff say they'll make it work, details TBD.
