www.propublica.org/article/trum... Whether it's Trump's acceptance of lavish gifts, or unearned praise by sycophants, or his use of our laws for retribution against his "enemies" (who brought justifiable evidence of his crimes), he obviously believes justice in America is his to define and divine. 🤢

wapo.st/4iN1f2C While many may applauded this research, I have serious reservations. While we ignore the needs of infants in poor countries, there is funding for research to bestow further longevity on the elderly? Seems like "playing God." If this research comes to fruition,

wapo.st/48qWW9C Always 2 sides to every story. Trump's sweatheart "mouthpiece," paints her once-almost SIL as a criminal & gets ICE to grab her, while the Leavitt fam tries to convince the woman to self-deport. Compare Levitt's bro's delinquent past vs Ferreira's. The whole NH fam's rep takes a hit.

nypost.com/2025/12/07/u... How does it feel, Mr. Prez, when YOU'RE the one on the wrong end of a transactional quid pro quo? Only a fool would believe that no one would cross an infamous double-cross artist with no morals or respect for norms. (Can't wait to see what comedians do with this one!🤣🤣🤣)

US President Donald Trump named first winner of FIFA peace prize ground.news/article/us-p... FIFA should stick to sports. I would like to see their criteria for their award. And I would be surprised if it wasn't simply throwing a bone to a corrupt and vain POTUS, who knows nada about real peace.

I have been irked since reading that Trump was calling 'affordability' a "Democrat hoax" (his usual claim about anything he wants MAGA to turn against.) Were it not a concept of great concern to 99% of Americans, I'd be amused that a guy born to a millionaire was so clueless about it! However...1/

Trump’s hateful, falsehood-filled Thanksgiving Day rant—blaming immigrants for crime, “social dysfunction” & economic hardship—is refuted by a wide range of immigration stats. Immigrants dramatically bolster the US economy & commit crimes at far lower rates than people born in the US.

open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar... Thanks, Aaron! I have come to relish your "only good news" post every Sunday. You always share fascinating and heartwarming stories that assuage our anxiety in this difficult time. Cute and little-known animals, medical breakthroughs, unique farming techniques, etc.

Pretty cut and dried, in my opinion, and that of specialists in military and international law. So, why is no one facing charges?

The fact that D.C. police are now needed to protect NG troops in D.C. speaks volumes about the need for their posting in the first place. How disgustingly ironic is it that NG troops were assigned under the false guise of fighting crime due to the untrue lack of effective local crime prevention?

wapo.st/4iraNAf Illustrates the importance of a free, unbiased press which reports facts. Totally disputes the knee-jerk reaction from the Trump adminstration, which repeats whatever lies he spouts.

Trump's knee-jerk reaction to the tragedy of the deadly attack on our National Guardsmen to reevaluate the green card status of immigrants from many countries is as sad as it is misguided. I would wager that for every single troubled immigrant from any country, there are many times more from the

open.substack.com/pub/robertre... For those who don't yet understand the importance of an unbiased media, which is being dismantled by Trump and his rich friends. Happily, anyone who is interested in finding unbiased reporting can turn off "legacy media" for sources that tell the truth.

Well said, and entirely true.

Everyone with a 401k should read this and speak to their financial planner about their investments.

open.substack.com/pub/robertre... Reich succinctly sums up the state of our nation that is "rotting at the top." A piece to share with my 14 YO grandson that can start a frank discussion of where we are and how we got here, so that he understands the challenges his generation will inherit.

“You’re mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman you’re talking about. Whether you like him, or didn’t like him, things happen,” Trump said. “But (the Crown Prince) knew nothing about it and we can leave it at that.”

Methinks that if I were a soldier/sailor/airman, I might be under the impression--given to us by SCOTUS--that if an order comes from Trump it cannot be illegal. 😱 But my next thought would be, "But if it's in violation of the Constitution, how CAN it be legal?" POTUS can legally give illegal orders!

This is what evil looks like. And I mean, both men in the picture.

Do you hear the rumbles of the earthquake shaking the very foundation of the Trump/GOP/SCOTUS/Project 2025 attempted takeover of our democracy? If you do, repost and stay tuned to the independent press, the Founders' most precious gift to Americans.

Congrats 2 Rep Grijalva, the newest (& possibly most feisty) member of Congress! The Speaker's vocal & physical embrace of her rang hollow, while her first remarks 2 the nation rang true. Another powerful woman 2 expose the truth & right the ship of govt before it can bring down our nation. Godspeed

www.motherjones.com/politics/202... The shame brought on America by our criminal president makes me sick to my stomach. He should be tried in international court for his egregious actions in violation of international law and common human decency.

If white males learn anything from yesterday's vote, it should be that their attempts to push women into the "back seat" again will fail miserably. Capable leadership is not dependent on race, gender, or creed. In America, voters respect candidates' wisdom, resolve & service to all constituencies.

Oh, you are certainly not alone, Stacey! Many of us share your feelings about this tyrant!

Agreed!

www.facebook.com/share/r/16uP... Not sure if this is a hobbyist's intricate work, or AI generated. But whichever it is, it makes a salient statement about Trump's galling disregard for The People's House. And likely sticks in his craw. Bravo!

"It would be my honor..." Puh-leeze! Trump has DISHONORED our Constitution & rule of law, DISHONORED the sanctity of our voting system & thus our democracy, and DISHONORED the truths of our history and The People's property--and truth itself! This man has no innate honor, and doesn't understand it.

We have to every one of these extreme suggestions seriously. Over the past decade, many of these utterances and pushes of a few GOP nutjobs have ended up as red state legislation and in Project 2025. Here it's "girls should be taught [in schools] to forgo college for motherhood."

Listening 2 the former official WH photographer describe his experiences documenting life in The People's White House saddened me deeply. Every time I think Trump has gone too far, he has gone even further 2 destroy our history & our democracy. This time, the outrage of hurt & disgust is palpable.2/

If this doesn't give you chills, you need to read up on world history that lead to Hitler's rise and reign.

This is a crime against The People, no matter what SCOTUS says! No other POTUS has shown us such disrespect. It is disgusting and galling.

Agreed! It's just another disingenuous "f*** you" to all Americans who oppose his regime. Is there anyone who really believes that he'll "give it to charity" if he gets away with this heist? Anyone at the DOJ who bends to his will on this should be disbarred.

Great day at No Kings peaceful protest of the Trump regime! PS Ms. Levitt, you r just another lier 4 the Trump regime, or totally ignorant of who makes up the Democratic party. What does it do to your self esteem to be paid to lie all day? I am none of the labels you attribute to Dems. Shame on you!

open.substack.com/pub/robertre... Thanks to Robert Reich for clarifying "who's who" in the power paradigm of the current federal executive branch of the supposed People's govt. Including the motives of the players/usurpers, which are of no value 2 The People. As such, they should be lawfully removed

I'll be there! If Trump's ICE/"gestapo" try 2 arrest a peaceful grandma exercising her right to free speech & paint her as a paid "terrorist" who "hates America," the backlash will be their undoing. They now look both silly & sinister w/ their preemptive lies & illegal, unAmerican speech & actions.

The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rose by the largest amount ever recorded in 2024, the UN has reported, as researchers warn of the dangers of feedback loops that are pushing the climate crisis to new heights and many global powers do nothing to mitigate emissions.

I recommend that every American read "The Hidden History of Neoliberalism" by Thom Hartmann (c 2022, particularly Ch 4. Here you will find what the oligarchs & JDV believe. You'll never miss the opportunity to vote again! PS to MAGA: be prepared for how little empathy the GOP have for we w/o riches.

Well, this is depressing! But there is still a chance to save America from the 39% who are brainwashed MAGA's. At least for now, they are not yet the majority. Register and educate more voters who are dissatisfied with the status quo, and get them to follow through and VOTE for sane Ind's & Dem's!

Physical abuse of a partner isn't "really serious," Mr. Speaker? You are a disgraceful synchophant to the worst POTUS in our history. Your "choir boy" image is so tarnished at this point that no one with two functioning brain cells believes a word you say. You're only a mouthpiece for GOP liars.
