UPDATE2: Late this evening the Coast Guard published a new policy, dated Nov. 20, that re-establishes that it specifically sees swastikas and nooses as hate symbols - not as just “potentially divisive” and states that they are expressly prohibited. Importantly, it says the new…

UPDATE: In a phone call with the @washingtonpost, the Coast Guard said it disagreed with the story and that it considers the swastika a hate symbol -- and that it would look into the new policy changes -- which remove it as a hate symbol. “We will be reviewing the language,"…



Idiocracy

A senior ICE official just admitted in an evidentiary hearing in Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s case that someone else drafted his declaration in the case and he didn’t know what certain words meant.

Really the only thing keeping me on this site was the DMs. They suck now, too.


I would love a deeply reported piece on Trump / Vance as Matt Boyle's wingmen.

Vice President @JDVance texted Jeff Bezos and told him to hire @mboyle1 if the Washington Post "was really serious" about understanding conservatives.

I have many hopes for post-Trump America and one is that the United States stops siding with foreign dictators against Americans.

"One of the things that we have to do in a post-Trump era is return to a place where we think dictators are bad." @SarahLongwell25 revisits the moment Trump sided with Putin over US intelligence in Helsinki, and how he’s now dropped the pretense of pretending dictators are bad.

The great @bylenasun tracked down shocked CDC scientists who said they didn’t know the website was changing, and recaps RFK Jr’s efforts to resurrect false claims on autism this year.

UPDATED: here is my story. @CDCgov web page now promotes false vaccines-autism link it repudiated for decades. Career scientists said they were blindsided. washingtonpost.com/health/2025/11…

RFK Jr’s personal life has been in the spotlight this week. (And, look, I’m a human and a journalist — I get it.) But what arguably deserves more scrutiny: his role as a Cabinet secretary overseeing America’s public health system — with authority to affect everyday Americans.

Exactly this I have no issue with Crowder taking a PPP loan to spend on (hopefully) paying his employees I do take issue with Crowder experiencing how the government can actually help him first hand, and then 5 years later deciding he doesn’t want others to get government help…

Twitter fam (especially in LA). In 10/2001, just after 9/11, I deployed to Kuwait with my @NationalGuard unit. Around Christmas I got a letter from a 6th grader from Nightingale Middle School. I never replied. I found it tonight. Isabel Santoyo is ~37yo now. Tell her thanks.

All of the destruction and death caused by these chucklefucks is going to be Bill Cassidy's legacy.

RFK Jr had committed to Bill Cassidy, as a condition to win his vote, that he would keep website language. Cassidy in February: “If confirmed… CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.” Note the language in second photo.



The CDC is run by unwell people

CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”
