I will say it again: There are no moderate Republicans. There are just proud MAGA and sacred MAGA. The scared ones leave. The proud ones stay.

Markwayne Mullin was caught lying on the record about the former CDC Director, Dr. Susan Monarez, by his Republican colleagues in the Senate chamber in September. He’s not honest or competent, and anyone who respects him is a fool.

A juxtaposition for the ages…

The South ending Reconstruction and plunging their populations into a backward looking culture and economy until it was forced to modernize by the Civil Rights movement is imo a very clean parallel.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.

Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.

The problem with today's snowflake youth is that they demand participation trophies when really they just flat out lost.

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

Republican Rep. Darrell Issa won't run for re-election.

Darrell catching a triple-ricochet stray from a bunch of good ol' boys in the Texas lege who thought they'd cooked up the perfect seatnapping scheme is some juicy karma.

this is like

the thesis statement of our times

EXCLUSIVE: NYPD Rejects Ending 'Self-Enforcement' Scandal at Precinct Houses - Streetsblog New York City Police brass are refusing to implement a major reform recommended by city probers earlier this year. And the agency won't say why.

Unsurprisingly, the city has looked into this before. Apparently, NYPD can just decline to reform, LOL? nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/25/e... I guess maybe work on forcing this through legislation? Though I don’t love tying threats of good policy to “punishing” the agency. Change is needed regardless.

Bessent: "We may unsanction other Russian oil"

Would you lib’rls just chill out already?? My goodness, it’s like you don’t trust Dear Leader at all. Once we’ve achieved the Secret Objective, he’ll let us know—just like the Founders intended. “Never tell your enemy what you want,” OK? That’s Sun Tzu or something.

“Trans children are perfect.”

Has there been any inkling of City Hall considering cracking down on parking abuse by NYPD and anyone else who claims to be protected by someone who works at NYPD? Maybe it’s something to keep in their pocket as leverage for the inevitable NYPD wildcat strikes or whatever.

The world is hostage to a madman.

Tweet Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command. It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards. Automated snapshots were gone too. In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again. If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read.

Back in my day you needed a senior engineer for this sort of thing
