You would likely not have to look too far back in Adam’s past to hear him blaming Democrats no matter what.
They always blame democrats no matter what, and they get away with it

Not a huge fan of parades, but the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade is just the worst this year: joyless, crass commercialism. A corporate facsimile of happiness.

This is an amazing thread. @ryanroat.bsky.social
They called them Near Abroad Direct Action Operations, NADA Ops. The "joke" in the CalSec cafeterias, which made its way out later in the hearings was that "What does the operator say when asked if there are civilians in the area? Nada...oops!". Even decades later, Arizona didn't find it funny.

I'm wondering if Kegseth is hell-bent on going after Mark Kelly because he outranked him. Small men do that kind of thing.

I hadn't considered that they'd be so evil they'd deport their own relative but here we are. Cancer is too good for these people, but I am praying to God that that's what they get: a really visible and painful case too.
I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”
“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

Today at the school it's a Funday for eligible students. The ineligible kids go to various classrooms where they have to complete assignments related to their infractions (Absences, Behavior, Cutting). I am in the "class cut" room, and I am having the time of my life. 1/several

This will be interesting. If they go easy on Ferreira, it looks like the favoritism it’ll be, causing greater rifts w/Latinos. If they deport, Leavitt’s probably unwelcome at family holidays for forever. “I’ve had choices…” George Jones #leopardseatingfaces

![REVERE, Mass. —
A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts.
The woman, Bruna Ferreira, has an 11-year-old son with Michael Leavitt, Karoline Leavitt's brother.
Ferreira migrated with her family to the United States from Brazil as a child and is currently in custody at an ICE facility in southern Louisiana.
Michael Leavitt released a statement, saying that his "only concern has always been the safety, well-being, and privacy of [his] son."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x4qyokjtdzgl7gmqhsw4ajqj/bafkreiacyzixchgacpjse7wyra342opgjsvdxzqdrkxq55zzqah65zyeae@jpeg)

I mean, who can deny the power, the majesty, the sheer literary thrust of the erotic poems of RFKJr. Just reading this sample has me throbbin’!

Worm brain's love prose is like Neruda remimagined by Bob Guccione.
It probably worked well on the whale head in private.

Really loved RFKJr’s poems about wanting to ejaculate in Olivia Nuzzi’s mouth. That’s the kind of love you only find between two people cheating on their spouses while ratfucking an election. @vanityfair.com hiring Nuzzi is a stain on their credibility. Will she fuck and lie for all her sources?
