Trump says Mexico's president promised to close the border. She begs to differ
You're going to be shocked when you hear this, but Trump is lying again. After his phone call with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the MAGA cult leader declared that Mexico had agreed to close the border and then took credit for something our southern neighbors are already doing to help rein in illegal immigration. In reality, President Sheinbaum "explained to [Trump] the comprehensive strategy that Mexico has followed to address the migration phenomenon, respecting human rights," adding, "We reiterate that Mexico’s position is not to close borders but instead build bridges between government and people.” But hey, why let a pesky thing like "reality" get in the way of building a tenuous house of delusions?

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump hit with bad news from the north after overplaying hand with Canada

Trump plots disastrous Day 1 attack on Biden legacy
350.org: A new POLITICO report shows that Donald Trump is planning to revive the destructive Keystone XL pipeline project as soon as he gets back into office — even though no companies are trying to build it anymore! This kind of short-sighted nihilism is exactly what we can expect from a Trump administration intent on extracting every last drop of profit out of the land, no matter how many people get hurt or how much permanent damage is done — which is why we need to start fighting back ASAP! Will you add your name to let him Trump know we won’t stand for the revival of the Keystone XL pipeline or the rest of his destructive, regressive fossil fuel agenda?

Trump keeps his personal Thanksgiving tradition alive with petty, late-night Truth Social message
RIght on cue, Donald Trump shared his annual Thanksgiving message with the world, thumb-smashing a sophomoric diatribe aimed at "Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country" and congratulating himself for his "landslide victory." Delusions and basic math failings aside, it's worth noting just how joyless the 78-year-old con man has become. He has marinated in misery for so long he is, quite simply, pickled.

Putin greases up "intelligent and experienced" Trump after election victory
Trump has repeatedly promised to "end" Russia's war in Ukraine in 24 hours once he becomes president, and, wouldn't you know it, Vladimir Putin has nothing by kind words for the incoming president. Gee, wonder if Vlad's nakedly transparent flattery will in any way influence the terms Donald will supposedly draw up to screw over Ukraine, upend Europe, and hand Putin a cataclysmic "victory." Stand by for more love letters and dopy proclamations of genius diplomacy from Trump, who still sees a checkerboard where others are clearly playing chess.

Democratic lawmakers report Thanksgiving bomb threats against their homes
At least five Democratic members of Congress from Connecticut were targeted by bomb threats on their homes Thursday, the lawmakers or their offices said. The bomb threats against Democrats happened a day after a number of President-elect Donald Trump 's most prominent Cabinet picks and appointees reported that they had received such threats, as well as "swatting attacks," in which perpetrators initiate an emergency law enforcement response against a victim under false pretenses. We said it before and we'll say it again: Perhaps spending YEARS normalizing and encouraging threats of political violence, wasn't such a good idea after all, eh, Donald?
