BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake? TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

No one in America has done more to incite political violence than Donald Trump. And it’s not close.

“Pam, I need you to indict this D.C. bomber guy. Then I can pardon him. I need someone I can trust at the ATF. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Common sense right here.👇🏼

Kressly: So let’s talk about the contagiousness of hepatitis B. It can live on surfaces, and it can be spread through touch—from someone who is shedding the virus to someone else. So when we’re in situations where we can’t know 100% who is at risk, the right answer is to protect everyone.

The White House’s new national security strategy includes these paragraphs on Europe. They read like a version of the white nationalist great replacement theory, with “migration” threatening to make the “continent…unrecognizable” within two decades. www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Trump announces plans to “evaluate” the entire childhood vaccine schedule. This was always the plan when RFK Jr. took power. Those who enabled this have blood on their hands.

Correction: Not just an “opinion commentator” — a rightwing conspiracy theorist who knowingly sold nonsense to his credulous audience because that’s what they demand.

The Roberts Court has completely delegitimized the Supreme Court. In a democracy, the people get to decide what is constitutional—not a cadre of unelected Republican operatives. This Supreme Court acts as if the people are irrelevant and they can say the constitution means anything MAGA needs.

Alito's (brief) concurrence says the "impetus" for the Texas map was "partisan." This is a response to the lower court that struck down the map, saying there's evidence of racial impetus. A big evidence was that the DOJ wrote to Texas explicitly saying they should redistrict for racial reasons.

This is an insane paragraph. This is at the very least, literally, not "indisputable". The lower-court ruling you're overturning said otherwise, and there's written, public evidence the DOJ said do this for racial reasons! "Indisputable" just means "I don't care to deal with contrary evidence."

BREAKING: The December 8-9 evidentiary hearing for vindictive and selective prosecution in the Abrego case has been CANCELLED. Previously, Abrego's attorney filed a motion to dismiss without the evidentiary hearing over the news about Costa Rica. A sealed order was filed yesterday.

I was told by a reporter in October that the White House was looking to prosecute me because I stood against their inhumane agenda. Days later, they did exactly that. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Shipwrecked and not using any communications equipment. This is a crime against humanity. Everyone involved should be prosecuted for murdering stranded civilians in cold blood. www.cnn.com/2025/12/04/p...

BREAKING: U.S. forces struck another boat in the Eastern Pacific, killing all four men aboard.

SCOTUS has spoken. Right? Every blue state needs to get onboard with this. And hurry the hell up. If gerrymandering were illegal nationwide, Republicans would struggle to hold the House at all. The only thing propping them up all these years are rigged maps.

Unbelievable. “Defense officials have been arguing the two survivors were legitimate targets because they appeared to be radioing for backup “But Thursday, Adm. Bradley acknowledged that the survivors of the initial strike were in no position to make a distress call.” www.cnn.com/2025/12/04/p...

Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it. Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?

#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three democratic appointees, #SCOTUS puts Texas's new House maps back into effect for (and, presumably, through) the 2026 midterms. The three Democratic appointees, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, dissent. I'll post the ruling shortly.

They're not even trying to appear nonpartisan anymore.

Agree with this thread. Worth reading in full. 25 years ago John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and AC Barrett all worked on GWBush's 2000 Florida recount team. What they're doing now is, if anything, more nakedly partisan. Fire-breathing dissent by Kagan, with Sotomayor and Jackson.

This is the small open boat Team Hegseth bombed and then bombed again. It's almost 1700 miles by sea from Trinidad to Miami. There is no way this boat was headed for the US.

SOUTHCOM announces another boat strike. Notable that the Pentagon carried out this strike on the same day that Adm. Bradley appeared before members of Congress to defend the Sep. 2 strike.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

Tomorrow, the Trump admin economic team will resume their daily ritual of insisting to the American people that the economic pain they are experiencing is either not happening or is Biden’s fault.

The Supreme Court sided with this dissent:

Um.... This is an actual judicial opinion (dissenting in the TX gerrymandering case)

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announces another boat strike in response to a request/wish from Turning Point USA’s Andrew Kolvet.

Republicans are shamelessly lying to us. A boat that size would have to refuel over 20 times to be "bound for the United States." And where would they do that in the middle of the Caribbean?

🔔 👀 BEAMAN: “IT WAS A FAIR ELECTION.” Tennessee Republican megadonor Lee Beaman, a Trump TVA board appointee, admits to @schiff.senate.gov he no longer believes the 2020 election was stolen, after previously calling for alternate electors. Seems like a big deal! 🤷🏼

As Trump’s political standing weakens along with his increasingly decrepit mind and body, his hold on the GOP is slipping. And the underlying political incoherence of the Republican Party that has only grown during his reign is being fully exposed. www.publicnotice.co/p/late-trump...

Or put different, he’s pardoning people at SEVENTY FIVE TIMES the annual rate of the Biden presidency

So far, in less than one year, Donald Trump has issued over TEN TIMES as many pardons as he did in his entire four-year first term. That’s a lot of criminals released onto our streets.

This normalizes corruption, feeding the sentiment that both sides suck and so politics is pointless. A Dem party focused on rehabilitating its broken brand would be criticizing Trump and booting out Cuellar. Let the corrupt guys become corporate lobbyists - they’re dragging our party down.

Jeffries claims the charges against Cueller were "very thin" and says Trump's pardon was "exactly the right outcome"

There is virtually no fed criminal law for wealthy people in America right now. Doesn’t exist. Trump’s DOJ either drops their charges or he pardons them. Anyone can buy their way out of prison for the right price on any charge, with crime victims left shattered with no justice.

lol, if you had integrity you would have quietly taken the zero.

People experiencing miscarriages in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. (Published Dec. 2024)

Unless proven otherwise, every Republican in Congress supports this image:

Conway: This is a criminal government. Unless you are willing to say that, you’re basically fighting on their terms. They get to lie, and they win that battle because people say, “We shouldn’t use that kind of language.” But you get to use that language when it’s fucking true.

Pete Hegseth risked our servicemembers’ lives by sharing classified information on unsecured systems. He needs to resign or be fired.

I hope people take two minutes to listen to this shocking display of bigotry. It brings clarity to what we are fighting against. We should all be sick to hear such un-American drivel from the President of the United States.

This really is nuts

AIDE: Secretary, you need to consult lawyers HEGSETH: you know what I called those lawyers back when I was in the service? AIDE: ... HEGSETH: Say it AIDE:you called them JAGo HEGSETH: JAGoffs, that's right. Because they are. I don't need rules, war has no rules. AIDE: [clicks "end recording"]

Honey, this watermelon is delicious! Hope it wasn't too expensive. Thank you dear. Safeway just marked them down to $3.99. You are such a good shopper. Also, my stomach pangs are much worse and my fever just hit 104. That's fine! Our buy-one-get-one appendectomy coupon doesn't expire until Sunday

Using his clemency power, Trump has undone prosecutions made by his own DOJ during his first term. Experts say the actions show a broad contempt for the justice system: “He’s rejecting ... the work of people he appointed but didn’t fully control.” By @jeremykohler.bsky.social

Learn the truth about Alex Karp, Peter Thiel, and Palantir which is helping fascists around the workd build a surveillance state. youtu.be/oveJRR7a4ss?...
