Two truths have emerged about Trump’s retribution campaign. The 1st is that Trump is facing major obstacles as he tries to use DOJ to investigate, prosecute and jail his foes. The 2nd is that aside from DOJ, his admin is now using a whole-of-government approach to attack his…
Everyone is speculating on the source of the leak. Literally dozens of countries have the capacity to intercept this kind of conversations on unencrypted cellphones, which is why professionals use other means. And obviously whoever has these tapes must have much more.
Getting ready for the White House turkey pardon. The turkey was convicted by a series of federal juries of a range of offenses, including money-laundering, sexual assault, and espionage for Russia. However, it paid $950,000 to MAGA-adjacent lobbyists, so it will shortly go free.

In a normal administration this would be a huge scandal
X’s decision to show where its accounts are based “is, theoretically, a positive step in the direction of transparency”—yet Elon Musk may have instead revealed that the platform is “just a worthless, poisoned hall of mirrors,” @cwarzel argues. theatlantic.com/technology/202…
Marjorie Taylor Greene never got “the joke that MAGA is about anything more than manipulation”—her failure to do so may be her one service to the nation, @DavidFrum argues. theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/11/…
I'm sure some of these are state/political projects, but I suspect most are just smart people in low and middle income countries doing it for the money, because Twitter invented a direct and quick way to make cold hard cash from making Americans angry and upset online.
The BBC has extensively quoted an X account of a ‘journalist in Gaza’ as an eyewitness. But a new feature on X means we can see that this ‘journalist in Gaza’ appears to be in…Poland.
And BBC has quoted him, while in Poland he saw and heard the rockets in Gaza. Quite a sight and hearing. bbc.com/news/articles/… bbc.com/news/world-mid…
How much of MAGA twitter is being run out of Russian troll farms in Russia, Nigeria, Pakistan and Thailand? Today's revelations Likely put it around half. They're now quickly changing their stated locations to US.
