Big announcement from Gov. Newsom:

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Everything about this wockaflocka is small. He makes everyone around his ass small. Ask yourself if he's made you smaller too. It ain't too late to stand.

If the New York Times was waiting for a news hook to write a long-overdue story about how Trump is mentally unfit to be president, Trump has provided one today with his post saying Rob Reiner got murdered because he was mean to Trump. Write it, NYT. End the normalization. @nytimes.com

i mean... uh... well... lordy. this defies summation. incredible story. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

“.. He led me into the Hilltop, where half the people inside knew his name, to a corner where we sat drinking diner coffee. ‘You won’t meet anyone more conservative than me, and I didn’t vote for this,’ Zink said.” @politico.com #DOGE www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Happy Hanukkah to all but especially Ahmed Al Ahmed, his children, and Brad Lander for making sure we knew this

Ahmed Al Ahmed, is 43, a father of 2 and owner of a fruit shop in Sutherland, Australia. Yesterday, he disarmed a terrorist targeting a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach where 12 humans were killed. Ahmed was unarmed. He was shot twice and is expected to make a full recovery. Hero. 💔

they said it. they actually said it.

They have no answers, they support no actions, they are craven rich people who care not a whit for any person - only their pocketbooks and directing government contracts to their cronies (also see...their pocketbooks).

Sen. Jack Reed: "I must remind everyone that we follow the law of war, and because of that, we expect other countries. So that when our service members are in distress, they're not shot up in the water or if they're wounded, left to die. If we don't do it, then we can't expect other countries."

Just when I thought I couldn't admire the man more... 🎯 🎯 🎯 💯 💯 💯 👍 👍 👍

No cherry-picking. No party filter. Just receipts. And a lot of powerful men are terrified right now. KASIE HUNT: “Do you have pictures of people engaged in sexual acts as part of this?” REP. SUBRAMANYAM: “Yes, there are people engaged in sexual acts.” @repsuhas.bsky.social

Release the Epstein files. Release the Jan. 6 documents. Lock up the war criminals. Abolish the ICE Gestapo. Lock up the felon.

The White House continues to make our work harder. They’ve: ✂️ Cut funding for transportation and education 👎 Effectively told families in poverty “you’re on your own” ❌ Presided over the longest government shutdown in history 🚨 Failed to act after Western Maryland was hit by a devastating storm.

A+ trolling from Zelenskyy

I talked about this — including this gift gold bar—on my podcast this AM—talking about presidential gift-giving and corruption. m.youtube.com/watch?v=cVmh...

Release the files!

Democratic leadership didn’t want to stick their necks out for him. The GOP didn’t want him even referred to as a “Maryland man.” Sen. Chris Van Hollen, his congressional representative fought for him. And we should never forget any of this. apnews.com/article/abre...

Wild that even in Indiana the GOP finally found a line they couldn’t cross. If your gerrymander is so extreme that a Republican Senate says ‘absolutely not,’ you know you cooked it. Democracy wins today.

This report is harrowing.

How a Manosphere Star Accused of Rape and Sex Trafficking Was Freed Barred from leaving Romania, Andrew Tate courted powerful figures on the American right, from Tucker Carlson to Barron Trump. Then an extraordinary order let him go.

Fox: A new report that shows that key holiday items like mini speakers, metal water bottles, that kind of thing, are up 26% because of Trump's tariffs.

CNN fact checks Trump's speech: "He said prices are down. Clearly, prices are not down. We have a 2.7% increase in grocery prices... He claimed again that he has ended 8 wars, even though the list he recited includes two situations that were never wars at all during the Trump presidency."

Fed Chair Powell: The official report on the labor market for September, the most recent release, showed that the unemployment rate continued to edge up, reaching 4.4%, and that job gains had slowed significantly since earlier in the year.

Fed Chair Powell: Total PCE rises rose 2.8% over the 12 months ending in September. Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, core PCE prices also rose 2.8%. These readings are higher than earlier in the year, as inflation for goods has picked up, reflecting the effects of tariffs.

This is absolutely ridiculous. I hope an investigative journalist follows the money to find out who is benefitting from this waste of money - one of trump's billionaire friends about to get richer from a government contract for pull-up bars in airports across the country. Absolutely bonkers.

Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care

immigrants score the lowest on tests, but they also take all our jobs, while at the same time taking all the welfare and buying all the homes

Woot woot! This is exciting! Congratulations, Miami, and so glad that you have elected Higgins as your Mayor.

polls about to start closing. reminder of tonight's stakes: 1. can Dems flip Miami mayor? 2. can Dems flip a legislative seat in GA? 3. can GOP flip Albuquerque mayor? 4. can Dems flip Albuquerque council? 5. and, um, can a Republican who thinks Italy helped steal 2020 election flip a FL leg seat?

Moscow says that the United States under the MAGA regime are in alignment with their vision regarding security strategy. It was revealed that Putin’s Russia plotted last year to plant bombs on US-bound flights to disrupt the airline industry. There are terrorists in the WH.

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.

Pastor on why she patrols her neighborhood to document ICE activity: "My faith calls me to care for my neighbors as I care for myself. I want keep my neighbors safe and I do that by putting love into action, by driving around and documenting, legally, what is happening in my city right now."

Rand Paul: "It has not been the history of the US to kill people who are out of combat. Even if there is a war, which most of us dispute -- that a bunch of people who are unarmed allegedly running drugs is a war -- we still don't kill people when they're incapacitated ... it's illegal and immoral."

Raskin said: “The facts here are clear. [Trump] directed CBS to edit his own interview … and CBS complied with his requests and omitted its anchor’s questions about Trump’s pardons.” More on Raskin's probe here:

Host: In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a home in Florida, pledging that it would be his principal residence. Just seven weeks later, he got another mortgage, attesting that it too would be his principal residence. This sounds like the standard Trump has used to go after his political enemies

The most important information we've learned since then comes from a new Amnesty International report detailing shockingly cruel, inhumane conditions at the Everglades detention camp. There is torture happening there. State-sanctioned torture. 3/

This is a fantastic read on the Florida Division of Emergency Management's role in the human rights disaster — and what it means for the emergency management field — from an EM expert. It's from September, and we've since gotten more answers about the camp, but still very much worth your time. 2/

Arkansas soybean farmer on bailouts: I want trade, not aid. I need a place to sell this stuff. I can work hard enough and make a product. They've painted us in a corner with this China deal and China not buying soybeans. They've tore a market in half.

A video of Nick Fuentes inciting the mob on Jan. 6 is circulating on X - at a time when fissures have erupted over the influence of Fuentes and his “Groypers” within MAGA. For more on that specific video, and more, see this piece we wrote: www.justsecurity.org/95385/twitte...
