Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Ahem

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor. Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Will just leave this clip here of Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings talking about what’s wrong with America from a 1991 interview and it’s still all very true today

Fact-check: true

What's stopping us?

‘Resigns?’ OK 🤣🤣

100% THIS!!!!

The Citizens United decision has corrupted our government and is destroying our democracy. Here's a way to get rid of it. robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get...

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power. It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.

"It was estimated in early November that 600,000 people had already died because of [the USAID] cuts, with two-thirds of them being children. I think it is fair to say that this is a crime against humanity. It is a staggering number of deaths."

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

Good morning☕

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.

Yale's Budget Lab estimates Trump's tariffs are costing the average household $1,800 in 2025, so a $2,000 rebate would barely break even. He wants to give the money away before SCOTUS rules his tariffs are unconstitutional. It's all a big distraction. Release the Epstein files.

Not but a year ago, the U.S. was offering a $10m reward for information leading to al-Sharaa’s arrest. In November, just days ago, the U.S. took al-Sharaa off the “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” list.

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask. Cowards

This speech never gets old.

www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMtS3gD9/ Can someone, ANYONE, explain to me why the Dem Machine is not ALL IN and completely behind this excellent candidate for TN-7 Cong? Why aren’t we, as a team, doing everything possible to help her win? Not only does she help ensure release of the Epstein files, she is

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Why is no one pushing back harder on this? ONLY the president has pardon power and if he claims to know nothing about Zhao, then who made the pardon decision? Who is running the show? Can’t have it both ways.

Pappas: It’s a big tell that Republicans are trying to gerrymander their way into a permanent majority, because they understand how historically unpopular their ideas are. Whether it’s closing rural hospitals, kicking people off their health insurance, or taking food away from hungry families

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

The average American family has ~$6000 of their taxes go to corporate subsidies and ~$100 of their taxes go to SNAP for 42 million hungry Americans. Remember—we don't lack money to serve our neighbors in need, we lack the money needed to satisfy billionaire greed.

They are inhuman MFers.This sweet little boy was left crying alone in a car after ICE detained his parent in Aurora, Illinois. Witnesses say agents drove off without checking if a child was inside. He was later found in the backseat: terrified, abandoned, and lucky to be alive.

THREE WAYS TO TAKE ACTION NOW 1. Donate to your local food bank. 2. Collect and distribute to your local community shelter. Check with your local organizations first to see what they need most. 3. Host a give-back drive in your community. Visit NoKings.org/alliance to learn more. #SNAP

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website. Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

The Epstein files stay hidden, but the Epstein Ballroom will be a prominent display.

At Coney Island’s Steeplechase Park, after promising to preserve some historic elements, TFG’s father threw a demolition party with bikini-clad women and handed out bricks to attendees to throw at the windows. He preserved nothing.

“[People call Zohran Mamdani a communist because] he champions affordability. Any effort to put forward an idea of a more equitable distribution of wealth is labeled socialist or communist in an effort to just dismiss it out of hand. It’s called red-baiting… the goal is to just divide people.”

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol $40B for Argentina $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation" $200M for Kristi Noem's jets $98M for Trump's golf outings But no money to lower your healthcare costs.
