Habe heute einem gut 70jährigen ehemaligen Spitzenpolitiker zugehört, der fordert: Die Leute müssen früher aufstehen und mehr arbeiten. Und im Alter länger im Job bleiben. Strengt euch an für mehr Wirtschaftswachstum!
Und ich kann diesen Zynismus nicht mehr hören. (Thread)

Report says "there might be a permanent gap in our understanding of how the economy fared in October that could impair the interpretation of November data."

Thisis unacceptable ... we NEED to KNOW what is going on with the economy! Is the administration trying to hide something?

Oh. Was it the part where Halligan said the jurors couldn’t leave unless they returned an indictment? (I have no proof that happened. Just speculating. But she kept them until 7 PM and they indicted on a two-vote margin.)

This is all so tragic and disgusting, but what jumped out to me was this paragraph. The adversarial legal process does not serve victims (here, and I'm also thinking about Title IX complaints).

Gift link to NYT article on Gaetz and his victim: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...
Paragraph from New York Times articles that says: "The girl would emerge as the chief witness against Mr. Gaetz in the Justice Department sex trafficking investigation. The investigation ended with the department declining to bring charges. Among the reasons prosecutors did not move forward was their concern about whether she would be seen as a credible witness after being exposed to cross-examination by defense lawyers, according to people familiar with the investigation."

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.
As a Black Hawk helicopter roared overhead, the slender, 28-year-old immigrant from Venezuela answered softly, his eyes darting to a television crew invited to film the raid. Next to Caicedo, masked Border Patrol agents inspected another man’s tattoos and asked him if he belonged to Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang that the Trump administration has designated a terrorist group. Until that moment, Caicedo’s only interaction with law enforcement in his two-and-a-half years in the United States had been a traffic stop two weeks earlier for driving without a license or insurance, according to the records we reviewed. Chicago police had run a background check on him and found no prior arrests, no warrants and no evidence that he was in a gang. Caicedo said he had a pending asylum application, a steady job at a taco joint and a girlfriend whose daughter attended elementary school across the street. None of that mattered. The U.S. government paraded him and his neighbors in front of the cameras and called their arrests a spectacular victory against terrorism. But later, after the cameras had gone, prosecutors didn’t charge Caicedo with a crime. They didn’t accuse him of being a terrorist. And after a brief hearing in immigration court, the government sent him back to the country he had fled nine years earlier. “I lost everything,” he said in a phone interview from his mother’s home in the Venezuelan city of Valencia. “For those fools, everyone from Venezuela is a criminal.”

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Lauren Boebert confirmed (CNN/NYT ) that the White House meeting's purpose was to pressure her to withdraw her signature from the Epstein petition.

Because, release the evidence that proves I'm guilty - said no one, ever.

“But it’s now clear Trump doesn’t even understand why healthcare relies on insurance, why we can’t pay medical expenses out of pocket. Hint: You never know when you’ll need expensive treatment, but should the need arise, only the ultra-wealthy can come up with the cash.”

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed
