Let's see... it's the first half of November, 2025. In the first 15 days, there was an election! The Democrats caved in Washington, even after winning big. Then the shutdown ended in ignominy, and our health insurance costs will go through several roofs.
In the last few days before this posting, the Epstein dam was beginning to break, with a batch of his emails from the 2010s publicly released. Which led us to high-quality commentary like Megyn Kelly opining that 15-year-olds are fair game, since they aren't the same as 8-year-olds.
Of course the various parts of DHS continued rampaging about the country, Hegseth's dupes were killing people in the Caribbean, and the Trump regime and parts of his family kept stealing anything not nailed down (unless they were coating it in faux gold).
Oh, and the Northern Lights were visible in the Twin Cities.

I remember when Republicans were beside themselves that the Clinton Foundation took donations for nonprofit purposes from the Saudis and other countries AFTER he left office, noting it posed a conflict of interest because Hillary could still run for office in the future. And they were right. But here we have the President's family making massive for-profit deals with foreign potentates while he is in the Oval Office, directing foreign policy. Meanwhile he grants pardons and other favors to people who buy millions of dollars of his own made-up crypto currency. This is beyond conflict of interest. It's open, brazen, billion-dollar corruption of the most blatant sort. The kind that would make a Third World dictator blush - or turn green with envy. And nary a peep from anyone in DC.

Dershowitz’s claim is that Epstein wasn’t a “convicted pedophile” because the sexual crime against a minor of which he was convicted was against a 17-year-old. But as [the Miami Herald's] Julie Brown notes, that very case involved victims as young as 13:

Decades of hard proof that cis men who abuse their power to harm women in the worst ways are the actual threat can alter this counterfactual obsession. No amount of scandals and convictions involving priests, coaches, teachers, executives, politicians, TV personalities, uncles — a tidal wave of actual sexual abuse by cis men — can alter this weird preoccupation with trans folks and the theoretical mania that they pose a systemic threat to women.

I think it is really quite a sad aspect of the patriarchy that actually women have a great deal more choice in terms of being able to pick a man who doesn’t look a certain way but is funny, kind, interesting, loving, thoughtful and so on. Meanwhile straight men get judged on how their partner looks. I think this is what is driving some of the very intense (and almost anguished) male conversation about who is attractive and who is not. They’re not talking about their own preferences, they’re talking about their fear that they might have an attraction that is different to/mocked by other men.

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.

The reason why we do not have nice things here is because Black America has always been 10-20% of the population. I welcome the success of NYC's social democratic policies. "If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere." If pols in purple or red states say "well, that's NYC" vote. them. out. Trolls in our mentions always chafe when we point out the obvious. But there are decades and decades of polls, surveys, interviews, and other research that proves even the prospect of A Nation of Thriving Negroes drives half the country mad. The template for our angst was set centuries ago. I welcome this smiling, charismatic, and brilliant young man — born from the unique meeting of three continents and multiple worlds — who may finally snap us out of the falsities amid the American dream. If only! I'm cautiously hopeful.

Michael Hobbes
I'm hard-pressed to think of a non-Jewish Democratic politician who has spoken to Jews with more respect and empathy than Mamdani. The fact that many Jewish establishment orgs are going after him while staying relatively mum on resurgent Nazism is a disaster, both for American Jews and in general.
Ned Resnikoff
The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up. I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

As a Jewish person I’m safer in a city with Zohran Mamdani as mayor than in a country with Donald Trump as president. That some Jews are freaking out about the former and totally okay with the latter is mind-boggling.

This explanation is ridiculous yet likely true. Millions of people did not conceptualize Trump the way we do (e.g., "bad person who did a bad job and wants to do bad things like X, Y, Z") but rather as a TV character, an avatar of prosperity who would somehow bless them economically.
Max Kennerly
Rs want it both ways. They want to mock Democrats and excuse whatever Trump says about them. Senators laugh if you ask about Trump's AI posts - he's just trolling, lol! They also want any crazy or offensive thing *Dems* say to be a horrifying violence-inspiring threat. Can't have both.
