55% inflation in Iran in less than a week is crazy. On Tuesday, $1 traded at 1.46 million rials, a new low, with no signs of slowing. Just remember, the US dollar is sinking fast too.

Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!

This was also what Charles Manson was saying before his arrest. Almost word for word.

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

Good way to start the year: ditch that Big Tech browser and come on over 🤝

What's a browser feature you didn't know you needed until you tried it? 🤔

Big Tech: Spends billions tracking you. You: Spent 30 seconds escaping. Who's winning?

Mike Johnson closed the House down early to avoid a vote on extending ACA tax credits. Nice try, Mike—all that does is give us more time to rally up support. Let's get loud as hell, folks, and make sure every member of Congress knows where we stand: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Never stop talking about how the supposed president is a child RAPIST!!

Burgum: "Today we're sending notifications to the 5 large offshore wind projects that are under construction that their leases will be suspended due to national security concerns ... the Dept of War has come back conclusively that these large offshore wind programs create radar interference"

Hey folks! We've got a new batch of Verge articles that are completely free to read for the day. First up is @cameronfaulkner.bsky.social's review of a a surprisingly affordable 5K monitor:

Thoughts on how to hate this treasonous motherfucker more? Asking for a friend.

I'm getting tired of this President using his platform to verbally abuse and demean people in our country just because he can. Hey dickhead, try doing your job better instead of focusing on all the 1980s put-downs.

Rutte’s stark warning: NATO braces for ‘scale of war our grandparents endured’

60 minutes of the failing fake news CBS will interview Marjorie Taylor Greene tonight. She can still go to hell. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Every right-wing oligarch, podcaster, hack, Russian apologist, paid influencer, and bot has been activated in a coordinated manner to attack Europe after the EU fined Musk.

The priorities of senior Trump Administration officials…

Although he is the descendant of Bonapartist tradition, Trump is no Napoleon

They don't seem to understand how to communicate basic human feelings at all.

For the first time, the Kennedy Center Awards were presented in the tiny Oval Office instead of the Kennedy Center For Performing Arts. Donald used his now-vulgar Oval Office for the ceremony to avoid the embarrassment of TV audiences seeing an almost empty theater.

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!! No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

🎶 All I want for Christmas are the Epstein files The Epstein files Yes, the Epstein files Gee, if we could only get the Epstein files Then we’d have a merry Christmas 🎶

Nothing says racism, cruelty, hatred and weakness combined in one quite like the orange felon removing all free access to National Parks on federal holidays that honor black people whilst giving free access on his own birthday. He should’ve been sent to jail forever.

sander_jennings Killing without evidence isn’t justice. It’s lawless violence 💣 The U.S. is executing suspected traffickers without trial while pardoning convicted ones. When we abandon due process, we abandon the moral authority that separates us from the cartels we claim to fight.

"I'm trying to figure out why Trump's inability to stay awake during a press availability isn't being covered as if it's a crisis." -- Senator Brian Schatz

I’ve been nominated for the FIFA prize for literature, oh wait, I just found out I won. Imaginary prizes are it turns out, very easy to win.

Americans thinking China is a more important *partner* to the US than Germany, not sure what to make of that. From koerber-stiftung.de/site/assets/...

This will be remembered as the most pathetic moment in American history. What a needy fool.

My latest Substack piece on Trump’s hypocrisy on all things pardons and drugs: katiephang.substack.com/p/trumps-par...

Trump attacked Governor Tim Walz on Thanksgiving, calling him the “R word” amid escalating rhetoric against immigrants and Somali communities. Walz responded, demanding the release of Trump’s MRI results, implying that the President’s behavior raises serious questions about his fitness for office.

All the ones they’ve hit have been empty. Unlike Russia Ukraine cares about consequences.

Ukraine has sunk a third Russian shadow fleet tanker, this time off the coast of Senegal. #explodey

“For 4 years, Ukraine has been fighting for the whole of Europe. NATO was created to fight one war … to save free Europe from Russian aggression. Ukraine is the only country that is fighting this war, and we are still discussing should we include them or not.” - Garry Kasparov

To all worried about the fate of Ukraine, remember: - Ukraine stood strong against all odds in Feb 2022, led by Zelensky. - Russia barely advanced the frontline since their defeat in Kyiv. - Ukraine has liberated more land than has lost since. - Eliminating corruption is vital for Ukraine's survival

This is what Ukraine is fighting for. 📹nastya_lutaeva

Ain’t nobody fighting wokeness like sleepy Don…😂

Bash: "Do you believe if there was a second strike to eliminate any survivors that it constitutes a war crime?" Mark Kelly: "It seems to." Bash: "If you received that order, would you have carried it out?" Mark Kelly: "No…Going after survivors in the water is unlawful."
