This year revealed new depths of depravity from Trump and his supporters. But we also saw a lot of Americans of all walks of life stand up and sometimes take great risks for their neighbors or strangers. Here’s hoping that the light keeps growing.

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks. The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

You don’t need a New Year’s resolution. You need a day’s. Do the right thing today. And then do it again tomorrow. That’s it. All it takes is your life. Day after day. That’s how life is lived. And how it’s wasted. Your choice. We all matter or none of us do. And all means all

Is the Jack Smith testimony like the theater release on a holiday and then it will be streaming soon for those who missed it?

NEW: Jack Smith seemed in total command of the details of his probes and used his deposition to forcefully rebut claims of weaponization and reiterate his belief that Trump was guilty of historic crimes. Our 7 takeaways. w/ @Hailey_Fuchs @jordainc www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Jasmine Crockett, regarding scheduling conflicts: How often is it that an accused criminal is charged in 4 different jurisdictions?

President Trump has vetoed a bill that would expand the territory of a small Native American tribe in the Everglades because they didn’t support his “Alligator Alcatraz” plans. trib.al/bsjj4JU

I want hearings and trials that employ air horns and ball gags for any disruptions. And worst of all the deft deployment of their own words coming back to haunt them.

if people on the other site think Obama was mean, i don't think they're ready for Reconstruction 2

You can tell these people don’t have families or many other loved ones because they don’t know you couldn’t run a “fake” daycare if you tried. You’d open your door one morning to a line of parents with babies in tow, throwing money at you.

You know you’re winning when you’re dispatching never-loved 20-something white dudes whose faces scream “I need therapy but daddy said it’s for weaklings” to knock on daycare doors and scream, “SHOW ME YOUR CHILDREN!!!”

It's weird that everyone is doing their 2025 closure a good 12 hours before Trump will be done with whatever horribles he has planned. It could yet get worse!!

Jack Smith: I believe we had proof beyond a reasonable doubt in both cases.

Unprecedented corruption

It's remarkable how consistently older media folks seem to think "wildly differing moral standards" shouldn't be a barrier to relationships. Or really, shouldn't be a barrier for liberals. Because these are always a scolding of young liberal women.

One of my furthest beliefs is that the next democratic administration needs to hire half a million IRS agents. 70,000 was far too few.

BREAKING: The House Judiciary Committee has released Jack Smith's 255-page deposition transcript: judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Important when reading the Jack Smith transcript to remember what powerful videos these would have been, had Jim Jordan followed precedent and done this publicly instead of hiding the ball and failing to commit to a public hearing. judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Jack Smith on the reliability of his witnesses: "when people are willing to pay those costs because they believe in something, because they're going to tell the truth, I think people get that." judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Trump spent $40B bailing out Argentina.

Daycare centers were also the primary target of the Satanic panic, because fundamentally American religious conservatism is opposed to women having jobs outside the home.

Pardoned by Trump after convicted of 12 counts of bank fraud and tax evasion. Don’t have to pay back $17.8 million in restitution or serve 12 year sentence. Not Somalis.

Trump guys are about to Comet Pizza every third daycare center because they think they are all fronts for Somali money laundering. They're only doing this near cities with progressive mayors. This is straight up Government by LibsOfTikTok.

renaming mar-a-lago "black lives matter, trans rights are human rights, and no human is illegal" and then getting mad when kid rock declines to perform there

1990S SCREENWRITER: oh yeah you basically always have to make the families in these movies be ultra-rich in a completely unremarked on way because otherwise it feels bad when Beethoven fucks up their car. but it's not like anyone is going to let that warp their entire worldview! ah ha ha

Trump's about to start garnishing wages. Biden took as many actions as he could under the law — but Trump was eager to persuade younger voters not to support him because Republicans had successfully derailed some of his administration’s efforts on student loans. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

2025 RECAP: Trump & Republicans moved heaven and earth to make tax breaks for billionaires permanent by cutting Medicaid, SNAP & other programs families rely on.  Their pro-billionaire agenda has exploded the national debt by trillions while betraying working families.

So the President did disclose a CIA drone strike inside Venezuela. And this does cross a red line of violating the UN Charter -- where the boat strikes on high seas had not. www.cnn.com/2025/12/29/p...

At no point was it easy, but USA wins 6-5 #WorldJuniors

“…authoritarianism, this was possibly one of its most grotesquely Coen brothers-style moments in an administration overflowing with them.”

“…about his accomplishments and complain about “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” In a second Donald Trump presidency bursting with constant scandal, corrupt ineptitude, and cartoonish…

Consequences are the only way we get past this.

Once again: If you're going to demand that Dem candidates NOT accept corporate PAC money, that means they have to be funded SOMEHOW. Most candidates HATE having to spend hours every day begging for donations. It's humiliating & takes time away from the rest of the campagn. But it is what it is.

Weird seeing Americans take the same line on ChatGPT as they do on guns. Not a great sign.

This is not Trump being stupid, tho Trump is a very stupid person. This is not Trump being played, tho Trump is one of the most easily manipulated people who’s ever lived. No, the truth is scarier. This is Trump working for & siding with Putin. This is Trump, the Russian asset.

Kid Rock and the Nuge are going to be artists in residence.

“You guys, Hitler wants to see Poland succeed”

Feel like it’s important to note here that SCOTUS’s only job here is setting the floor. If future Fed admins don’t want to let this happen, they can put it in the contract. And if POTUS won’t do that, Congress can pass a law that requires pay. This is a case that is easy to negate SCOTUS on.

I mean you’ve really gotta wonder why the Trump DOJ was collecting travel information about a reporter who helped blow the lid off the Epstein coverup in Florida. Or maybe we don’t have to wonder at all.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

I feel like "attention hacking" is most of politics now. The Minnesota aid fraud story is becoming a perfect example. Recap: In 2022, the Biden DOJ filed the first charges against dozens of fraudsters, many of them Somali-American, who'd fleeced a state food aid program. (1/x)

President Biden’s daughter, Ashley, posted this video of her family opening Christmas presents. No hatred, name-calling, or unhinged rants. I hope they know how much we miss their normalcy and class in the People’s House. I love seeing Joe recover, surrounded by family, their pets, and love.

Whoopsies?

Imagine it being easier to just pay the 8 billion dollars and it won't affect you in the slightest. Man what have we done lol

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

I hate this Fucker with every Fiber of my being.

It was hard to convince Americans torture is wrong as a moral principle during Bush's term, and that was with the debate about whether torture makes us safer. I'm afraid for a portion of Trump's base, that calculation matters less. Idea of torturing undocumented immigrants may even bring pleasure.

60 Minutes is dead and buried. Rest in peace. There’s no coming back from what CBS has done.

Setting aside the journalistic malpractice of what Bari Weiss did, her inability to foresee that the piece would leak is stunning. Now they can never run the piece, because everyone would be able to see whatever changes they make. And everyone will see the original piece while CBS gets no revenue!
