If I didn’t see this myself on Truth Social I’d assume it was some phishing site

A bunch of us did a piece on RFK Jr.'s attacks on vaccines. Please circulate. Scientists and clinicians are sounding the alarm. It's time to act. youtube.com/shorts/4wnNy...

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

PIIE: “.. If tariffs stay at current levels, they will impose an annual tax increase of $1,700 for an average household .. the largest tax increase on US households since 1982 as a share of GDP ..” www.piie.com/commentary/t...

It's really time to hold Murdoch accountable for this. Not that any of the Murdochs are squeamish about this. But they like being accepted in polite company and this stench should stick on them.

Your fellow reporter just got blasted on national TV by the president of the United States as "obnoxious" and "terrible" -- and you follow it up with a crappy question about the midterms, which are 11 months away. You might want to think about another line of work. You aren't cut out for this.

1. Paramount's hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery exposes Jared Kushner's game Kushner is not running a private equity fund. He's running an influence peddling operation. It's spelled out on page 42 of Paramount's new SEC filing

I rediscovered this post I wrote in May, about how Trump has shifted the money the US used to spend on curing cancer into snatching your neighbors. I think I'll keep harping on this point. www.emptywheel.net/2025/05/09/s...

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends. It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Nothing to see here, just the President of the United States having absolutely no idea who he is pardoning, nor why.

Meanwhile, the Trump Regime (with full knowledge of these terror schemes) just declared Europeans are exaggerating the threat posed by Russia, and said Trumpers will be "cultivat[ing] resistance" to European governments and seeking "strategic stability" (i.e., deals) with Putin's regime.

Ossoff: "She's gonna have to give up her insurance in the middle of chemotherapy while she's fighting breast cancer. What are people supposed to do when they lose health insurance in the middle of a cancer battle? ... this is life or death"

NN: There was a similar bailout for farmers during the first Trump admin & the top 1% of farmers got 25% of funds. What are you doing to ensure that doesn't happen? ROLLINS: Based on these different formulas the really smart people have put together that trend toward supporting the smaller farmer

NEW: Senate Republicans plan vote on a health care alternative as ACA funds look likely to expire Democrats will force a vote Thursday on a 3-year extension of ACA money. Thune endorses Crapo-Cassidy bill as the GOP alternative. Here's what it will and won't do. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

ACA tax credits keep health care costs down for millions—but they'll expire at the end of the year unless Republicans act. Every House Democrat signed a discharge petition to extend them and stop premiums from skyrocketing. If just four Republicans join us, the House would vote.

Wow -- Russia reportedly plotted last year to plant bombs on US-bound flights (gift link) giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items. It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too. Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

These days, it's notable whenever a major media company ignores Trump's pressure and stands with talent. So let's note that Disney has renewed Jimmy Kimmel's contract for another year

The hostile bid Paramount is launching to get Warner is backed by the Saudis, Abu Dhabi, and Qataris (and Jared). www.axios.com/2025/12/08/p...

The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.

Hundreds Rally for Boy, 6, Who Was Separated From His Father by ICE By Ed Shanahan and Stella Raine Chu 17 y.o. William McKernan said, “Kids shouldn’t be kidnapped. I used to go to [P.S] 166 and want to show up because I hate seeing this happen in my neighborhood, in my school and in my country.”

Jared Kushner's involvement was "not mentioned in Paramount's press release on Monday morning about its $108 billion bid, nor were participating sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar." fancy that

Of course. Of course. www.axios.com/2025/12/08/j...

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just now:

Trump says Lisa Cook is unfit to be a Fed governor because she claimed two different properties as her primary residence on her mortgage applications. (Cook denies this.) Trump did the exact same thing on mortgage applications submitted a mere 7 weeks apart. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

♥️ “ICE looked at that school, saw a community standing up for families, and decided it wasn’t worth it.”

Justice Jackson to Solicitor General Sauer (just now, in Trump v. Slaughter arguments):

Kushner said he wouldn't have a foreign policy role in this administration just like the Trump Organization said it wouldn't make new foreign deals, just like Karoline Leavitt said Trump has never engaged in a conflict of interest.

FITCH: “.. Despite the full-year impact of tariffs, we expect the U.S. fiscal deficit to widen in 2026 due to additional tax cuts under the OBBBA.” www.fitchratings.com/research/sov...

Hegseth said US military should refuse ‘unlawful’ Trump orders in unearthed 2016 interview Defense secretary’s comments recirculating amid dispute over US strikes on alleged drug boats in Caribbean www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

America got “the president is killing terrorists, don’t question it” in the 2000s too. But unlike now: -The US had been attacked -Al Qaeda was a terrorist group and planned more attacks -They were in areas the US military did not freely operate, where arrest was risky -Congress authorized the action

It was only a matter of time…

Ngl I really hate seeing people quote tweeting The Daily Beast on here. It’s not the same publication anymore, and all you’re doing is helping them internally justify their morally bankrupt approach to clickbait journalism.

BINGO. Even having a ZERO dollar deductible doesn’t do you any good if you can’t afford the premiums in the first place!

“.. Netflix and WBD .. may have a way out in today’s openly politicized regulatory environment, the lawyer suggested: ‘The way they don’t get sued is by spinning off CNN to a conservative.’” @semaforben.bsky.social www.semafor.com/newsletter/1...

Community members in Kenner, Louisiana, activate rapid-response teams to follow Greg Bovino and his Border Patrol goons through the neighborhood. They alert residents and warn them not to open their doors unless CBP has a court-ordered warrant.

Sen. Mark Warner: "This National Security Strategy that was just released the other day…barely mentions China or Russia. It spends more time talking about culture wars in Europe than about how Europe can be our partner."

To be very clear: Kennedy's team is messing with a vaccine which has led to a 99 percent drop in the incidence of hepatitis B, which kills, early and painfully, 25 percent of the children who get it.

This is an excellent read. The more you know. #Science 🧪 “… we were advancing toward elimination of hepatitis B in the United States,” says Ward “I am deeply concerned that if the ACIP rescinds this policy, they’re going to contribute to the spread of hepatitis B rather than its elimination.”

I’m so old, I remember when National Review was pro-states rights and local control…though states rights to do what, we may ask. bsky.app/profile/seth...

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara issued a stern warning to his officers on Thursday: Intervene when you see Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents using unlawful force or lose your job.

Todd Blanche is now warning lawyers who criticize Trump's Justice Department: The DOJ's No. 2 official suggested that lawyers might have a harder time winning lenient treatment for corporate clients if they've publicly accused the Trump administration of being lax on white-collar crime.

supreme court to decide whether part of constitution is part of constitution

Since we can’t ever expect Mike Johnson to do the right thing, we’re forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. And we only need four more members to sign the petition to make it happen. Help us move the needle!

The Golden Age.

Bongino saying the quiet--and cynical--part out loud. In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that. What a confession.
