Someone spotted this at the Ellsworth, Maine dam

He followed me home. Can we please keep him?

If you are going to have to read depressing news all day long, why not at least enjoy the irreverent telling of it? @wonkettemedia.bsky.social is a bright spot in all of this shittery.

Stephen Colbert Hands CBS Bosses Their Asses AGAIN, With An Assist From James Talarico That's entertainment! By @marciej.bsky.social www.wonkette.com/p/stephen-co...

The Colbert segment and the actual Talarico interview are top notch. I hope TX elects this man! m.youtube.com/watch?v=oh7D...

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Wow, someone really did not think this through. "I can 'exonerate' you for a price"—made as a public offer—is essentially an acknowledgment that the person being offered the bribe is in fact... ...a criminal who did exactly what they have been accused of.

Wow, this was a powerful ad. Incredible, but these victims had to air a commercial during the Super Bowl to try and get justice...

Perfect

MUST WATCH! Sir Ian McKellen ends this wonderful interview on Stephen Colbert’s Show by performing a speech Shakespeare wrote that is VERY TIMELY for today! This is why art matters! @katiecouric.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social @jerilryan.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l2R...

Donald Trump is The GOAT...f***** (wait for it)

Ahem

Tom Morello in Minneapolis last night. 🤩 KILLING IN THE NAME

GEORGIA… 🔥

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

We're not allowed to see the faces of the taxpayer-funded goon squad who is committing crimes in the streets, but the goon squad is allowed to record the faces of taxpayers who have committed no crimes.

Wow -- Fanone coughs "go fuck yourself" to Trey Nehls as Nehls blames Capitol Police leadership for January 6

ICE is now in my backyard here in Maine. I want to know where the fuck Susan “I’m Concerned” Collins is. This has to stop.

There is less public information around immigration enforcement than regular police work. That’s why we need your help.

This was always coming. This was always the plan. This is what Trump, through intermediaries, was discussing with the January 6 insurrectionists. It was only a question of timing.

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.” (H/T @marcofoster.bsky.social )

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Merry Christmas from Downeast Maine. May you all know peace, love, and for a deserving few of you, justice in the New Year!

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

So last night as I was wondering why Pam Bondi diverted almost 200 National Security attorneys who should be chasing hackers and spies to redact the Epstein files, I remembered that John Eisenberg, who heads it, is the guy who altered the Trump-Zelenskyy transcript.

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

Over six years ago, I published an 11,000 word article in The Atlantic (gift link below) explaining how Donald Trump was, beyond any question, mentally ill and unfit to hold any office of public trust. He has proven these points virtually every day since. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This always amazes me, that ANY PERSON who decided to call him what he is to his face would be a legend by dinnertime, with the ability to become successful beyond their wildest dreams, and nobody has done it yet. SAY IT: "What the fuck is wrong with you, you deranged little Hitler bitch?"

A lifetime of "thoughts & prayers" have done JACK-SQUAT to reduce or eliminate gun violence. We need to do MORE. It is the GUNS. #SadButTRUE 💔

I want smart (way smarter than me), decent, empathetic, honest folks running my government. That’s my Christmas wish.

Fuck KISS- they were never that good anyway. This is what real bands (my favorite band BTW) do: www.theguardian.com/music/2014/f...

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks: “Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present Karma?

There needs to be a law that states if your duly elected representative is not sworn in/seated then you are relieved of paying any taxes during that time. We fought a revolution over this.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.
