"We have descended into utter madness. …
Take the news of just the past few days as sketched out in headlines and shards of social media.
We are about to go to war against another country for no reason. Our president is delusionally barking out orders to the planet, seemingly convinced he rules the entire globe."
~ David Rothkopf

We Have Descended into Utter Madness
A new sense of urgency is needed. Our national crisis has grown much more acute.David Rothkopf (Need to Know by David Rothkopf)
The DoJ redacted the names of the rapists, but not the victims. Just in case you were still on the fence about whether or not Republicans are degenerate filth unfit to participate in decent society.

Law firm representing alleged Epstein victims sends scathing letter over DOJ document release
"These women are not political pawns," the letter reads, in part.Peter Charalambous (ABC News)
"Even if you were to buy into the regime’s claims that they are conducting these killings to root out drug traffickers who cause harm to Americans, Trump utterly belied that argument yesterday by providing a full pardon to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who has been serving a 45-year prison sentence for drug trafficking."
~ Steven Beschloss
“'The Constitution really is not adequate to deal with a president as evil as Trump,' [former White House lawyer Ty] Cobb said in an interview broadcast on MSNow, adding that the president’s recent actions reflected 'a desire to accumulate and abuse power.'”
'He’s committing war crimes in Venezuela and Colombia,' Cobb said, asserting that military legal officers who raised concerns 'were fired or sidelined.'”

'Textbook War Crime': Critics Slam Hegseth For 'Outright Murder' After Shock Report
Observers say a new report in the Washington Post details potentially illegal activity by the defense secretary.Ed Mazza (HuffPost)
"As the smoke cleared, they got a jolt: Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck.
The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack — the opening salvo in the Trump administration’s war on suspected drug traffickers in the Western Hemisphere — ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, two people familiar with the matter said. The two men were blown apart in the water."
"The longer the U.S. surveillance aircraft followed the [Venezuelan] boat, the more confident intelligence analysts watching from command centers became that the 11 people on board were ferrying drugs.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. 'The order was to kill everybody,' one of them said."

A 26-year-old Ocean City woman who claimed she was brutally assaulted because she worked for Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-Ocean City) instead orchestrated the entire incident — paying a scarification artist to wound her and staging the scene with zip ties and “Trump Whore” written on her stomach and “Van Drew is a racist” on her back, federal prosecutors alleged today.

I Made Epstein's Text Messages Great Again (And You Should Read Them)
Be careful how long you stare into the iMessage abyss.Michel de Cryptadamus (The Cryptocalypse Chronicles)
Today #Trump supporters are crowing about how he keeps winning over every court that comes after him, he's a force of nature that no one can land a hand on, because he's just so awesome, and a rebuke against politicized use of the courts.
Trump keeps winning!
Meanwhile, outside of that uninformed echo chamber...
Le niveau de vocabulaire au Monde baisse, non?
"Fumasse, le président républicain s’en est pris, mercredi 26 novembre, au New York Times et à Katie Rogers [...]"
Donald Trump insulte le « New York Times » et sa journaliste Katie Rogers après un article sur son âge et sa santé
Depuis janvier, il multiplie les attaques verbales contre les journalistes représentant des médias qu’il juge hostiles et se montre particulièrement agressif envers des femmes journalistes.Le Monde avec AFP (Le Monde)
Unfortunately, this gets into the thorny question of whether something is a lie if the speaker really believes it.
The #Trump admin actually believes a lot of things that are factually wrong. Courts have trouble addressing such situations as they're supposed to be arbitrators of law, not of fact, so they're generally supposed to judge based on the record that's put before them.
It says a lot that these days have reenergized debates among legal scholars as to when factual errors are so egregious that a court has to call them out.

Trump Cancels Release of Crucial Economic Report to Hide His Failures
newrepublic.com/post/203619/do…
Donald Trump has now blocked three economic data reports.
laugh about how it was always a joke, because it goes both ways: the deal didn't promise Ukraine security, but it also didn't promise the US the minerals the president kept crowing about.
It was a little stunt that both Ukrainian and US officials pulled just to get Trump to shut up and let the adults talk.
I can't believe Ukraine isn't grateful that Witkoff took a Russian plan for Ukrainian capitulation, ran it through Google Translate, and mandated that Zelenskyy accept it by Thursday!
My soul is shattered over the impact of Americans having not elected Kamala. All the pain and suffering — domestically as well as in Ukraine and elsewhere — could have been avoided.
Things are going to get much, much worse, and my heart breaks for #Ukraine.

Still.

Trump’s 'Peace' Plan Means More War
Myroslava voices Ukraine’s fear that the new US peace plan resembles capitulation. Despite fatigue and losses, the Counteroffensive team believes a just peace is possible only on Ukrainian terms.Myroslava Tanska-Vikulova (The Counteroffensive with Tim Mak)
Watching the screw-ups in the Comey prosecution right now I'm just thinking #TACO , #Trump Always Chickens Out, should be joined by #TOFU , Trump Only Fs Up.
Because seriously... OK his supporters claim that he's not chickening out, that was the plan all along, but there's really no way to get around the F ups.
And this is a historically giant screw up.
The pain is acute because price increases are outpacing wage gains for most American households, especially those with lower incomes. The gap between wage growth for the most affluent & least affluent households has been larger this year than at any time in the past decade, according to Bank of America Institute, which uses proprietary data from the bank’s enormous customer base.

As the NYT board has noted in previous editorials, the revival of domestic manufacturing is a worthy goal, & if #tariffs were applied judiciously, the benefits might outweigh the #costs. But #Trump’s indiscriminate use of tariffs is doing far more harm than good. The current tariffs will cost the average #US household about $1,800 per year, the Yale Budget Lab estimates.
The admin’s crackdown on #immigration is similarly being conducted in ways that maximize the economic costs.
Reducing illegal #immigration is a worthy goal, its long-term economic effects are complex. But #Trump’s cruel, chaotic campaign to deport & drive out undocumented immigrants is creating #labor shortages that in turn increase #prices. It is part of the reason #food prices were rising at an annual pace of 3.1% as of September, the last data released *before* the government shutdown.

“But the policies they’ve chosen have created extra costs for businesses, & businesses tend to pass on costs,” Sahm added.
The cost of #Trump’s policies is likely to increase in the coming months.
His most inflationary policy is his campaign to build a wall of #tariffs around the US #economy. Tariffs are #taxes on imports, & they are *initially* paid by the businesses that bring goods into the #US.

Does Trump Know The Price Of Milk?
“From the day I take the oath of office, we’ll rapidly drive prices down & make America affordable again,” #Trump promised last summer as he ran for president. “Prices will come down. You just watch. They’ll come down fast.”
#Prices have not come down. 10 months after Trump took office, prices are still climbing. #Groceries are MORE expensive. #Electricity bills have spiked. It costs more to buy a new #car.
President Volodymyr #Zelensky addressed #Ukraine Friday as he considers how to respond to a #US “peace” proposal to end #Russia’s #war with his country.
“This is one of the most difficult moments in our history,”Zelensky said in a video. “Currently, the pressure on Ukraine is one of the hardest. Ukraine may now face a very difficult choice, either losing its dignity or the risk of losing a key partner.”
