“Rep. Al Green [D-TX] announced that he would submit articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on Thursday morning, framing the vote as a sort of litmus test for his party on its opposition to the administration. ‘There will be articles of impeachment filed before the Christmas break. This, I pledge,’ Green said. ‘We have to participate. This is a participatory democracy. The impeachment requires the hands and the guidance of all of us.’ He confirmed he would introduce the motion as privileged, a status that forces its consideration within two legislative days. The motion can be tabled before the impeachment itself comes to a vote.” (11/20/25)

“No no everything’s fine. It’s perfectly normal for people to have 80 hour work weeks while billionaires transform into trillionaires and tech plutocrats feed all our drinking water to AI servers as the planet dies. This is the only system that could possibly work. No no it’s great. If you can’t afford a house it’s because you’re lazy and entitled. Stop eating fancy fruits and vegetables and sleep in your cubicle. One time I saw a homeless person with a phone. Sell your phone and use the money buy a house, you idiot. What do you mean you want taxes to go toward infrastructure and basic social safety nets? That money is for the arms industry, and for Israel. If you want a high-speed rail system, build it yourself.” (11/20/25)
“Fire disrupted United Nations climate talks on Thursday, forcing evacuations of several buildings with just two scheduled days left and negotiators yet to announce any major agreements. Officials said no one was hurt. The fire was reported in an area of pavilions where sideline events are held during the annual talks, known this year as COP30. Organizers soon announced that the fire was under control, but fire officials ordered the entire site evacuated for safety checks and it wasn’t clear when conference business would resume. A few hours before the fire, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres urged countries to compromise and ‘show willingness and flexibility to deliver results,’ even if they fall short of the strongest measures some nations want.” (11/20/25)
“[A] bipartisan Senate coalition led by Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Tim Sheehy (R-MT) managed to add the commonsense notion that the military should be allowed to repair the equipment it buys, building off a mandate instituted by the secretary of the Army. Needing someone to fly in every time a tank or aircraft carrier breaks wastes time and money, and serves as a second bite at the apple for lucrative military contractors. But because Congress is often just a pass-through for corporate America, the contractors’ lobbyists are blitzing Capitol Hill to secure their position as the military’s high-priced mechanics.” (11/20/25)
“The U.S. Justice Department will release files from its investigation into the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days, Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Wednesday, after Congress voted nearly unanimously to force President Donald Trump’s administration to make them public. The material could shed more light on the activities of Epstein, who socialized with Trump and other notable figures before his 2008 conviction on charges of soliciting a minor for prostitution. The scandal has been a thorn in Trump’s side for months, partly because he amplified conspiracy theories about Epstein to his own supporters. Many Trump voters believe his administration has covered up Epstein’s ties to powerful figures and obscured details surrounding his death, which was ruled a suicide, in a Manhattan jail in 2019 as he faced federal sex trafficking charges.” (11/19/25)
“In a referendum on Sunday, voters in Ecuador – where some 70% of global cocaine flows – soundly rejected the idea of foreign bases in the country to help fight the drug trade. And in the last three months, as the United States military has built up forces near Venezuela and conducted lethal strikes against alleged drug-carrying boats – dubbed by the White House as ‘narco-terrorists’ – cries have grown louder that such attacks might violate international law. Meanwhile, amid this forceful approach, one country in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic, has received a largely unnoticed accolade for an alternative tactic to dealing with crime – whether it is petty theft or international drug runners coming to its shores.” (11/18/25)

“Former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz made some very revealing remarks during an appearance at the Jewish Federations of North America General Assembly on Sunday, expressing frustration with the way younger Jews are dismissing pro-Israel arguments because of the carnage they’ve seen in Gaza. ‘We are now wrestling with a new I think generational divide here, and I think that’s particularly true in that social media is now our source of media,’ Hurwitz said. ‘It used to be that the news you got in America was American media, and it was pretty mainstream … You had to go to a pretty weird bookstore to find global media and fringe media. But today we have social media, which is the global medium; its algorithms are shaped by billions of people worldwide who don’t really love Jews” (11/19/25)
“The Democrats’ lurch to the extreme left is accelerating at warp speed — and Connecticut is the latest victim. The state legislature’s Democratic supermajority last week rammed through a bill, HB 8002, that’s a thinly disguised socialist wishlist. Cynically couched as a remedy for the affordable housing crisis, its real purpose is ideological: forcing Connecticut’s 169 towns to achieve what the bill calls ‘economic diversity’. Translation: If you’ve worked hard to own a home in a leafy suburb with quiet streets, you can’t live there unless everybody can — including the homeless and those with low incomes. The state, through regional councils, will dictate how many people at each income level a town must house. The councils are mere middlemen, a cosmetic addition to paper over a fundamental loss of local control.” (11/19/25)
“At this very second, Washington is pouring billions into escalations toward a potential invasion of Venezuela that would set Latin America on fire, escalate tensions with neighbors, and trap US troops in another undefined quagmire. It has already conducted about a dozen strikes on unproven ‘drug boats’ in the Caribbean, without congressional approval, a trial, or even demonstrated intelligence, killing innumerable Venezuelan and foreign civilians, while it has moved Naval strike groups and carriers near Venezuela’s shores. This is one of the disastrous and preventable results of American militarism, exceptionalism, and the military-industrial complex that fuels them. Such is the context in which The Trillion Dollar War Machine lands on bookshelves.” (11/19/25)
“Like an interstellar rolling stone. NASA scientists were baffled after uncovering a rock on Mars that didn’t belong there — with a composition pointing to potentially interstellar origins. ‘This rock was identified as a target of interest,’ the space agency wrote in a recent blog post detailing the potentially intergalactic gravelstone. … while finding a stone on Mars might not seem groundbreaking, this particular specimen stood out due to its ‘sculpted, high-standing appearance that differed from that of the low-lying, flat and fragmented surrounding rocks.’ Subsequent analysis by the Rover’s SuperCam revealed that the Martian pebble was high in iron and nickel — an element combo associated more with ‘iron-nickel’ meteorites rather than more run-of-the-mill rocks.” (11/19/25)
