Thanks for this week’s excellent blog fodder.
It's not December yet, which means you don't have to start Christmas shopping (this is A Fact) and should instead spend the afternoon indulging in the best of the week's links and writing in Web Curios (or, dunno, read a good book or something): webcurios.co.uk/webcurios-28...

There is no constitutionally legitimate scenario in which we are being de facto governed by the White House Deputy Chief of Staff using a half-dead president as his sock puppet. We went out of our way to amend the Constitution on precisely this point.

The pentagon papers were leaked changing history. I don’t get why the Epstein files are so protected. Seems like there would be someone out there that would leak them.

Hegseth likes to kill people. It makes him feel important. Sicko.
Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Wake up guys!
Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.
