Ukraine will need solid military and financial support for the foreseeable future, and it will have to come from Europe. It is still not clear that Europeans grasp this

Rep. Jamie Raskin reacts to a breaking news report from MS NOW that the federal prosecutors are expected to seek to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday.

You might hope the Signalgate debacle- followed by the murder of two defenseless, shipwrecked men-might cause Republicans to confront Trump and force Hegseth out Then work on other cabinet members so they can get rid of RFK, Jr and some of the others But they don't have the spine to do it

“Get insurance companies out of it. We don’t need a middle man. They’re like the mob, taking their cut off the top.” @RepTimBurchett unwittingly makes the case for MEDICARE FOR ALL as Republicans flail for a way to deal with skyrocketing health care costs. (H/T @PabloReports)

i strangely find myself admiring Rand Paul on this

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

The entire U.S. population is in the low hundreds of millions (340m), meaning that according to NoemMath, nearly all of us were on track for a cocaine-related death. I am so grateful to have been saved.

Europe exhausts legal tricks on frozen Russian assets on.ft.com/4rCnLPy

People need to do hard time over this.

LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS Special elections swung double digits toward Democrats. Thirty Republicans are sitting on margins of 13 points or less, and Tennessee just delivered a 13 point swing toward Democrats in an R +22 district. If GOP leadership isn’t sweating, they should be.

Wall Street Journal reports that Admiral Alvin Holsey, who was concerned about the legality of the Pentagon’s lethal strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean, did not voluntarily retire — Hegseth ousted him. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Using his clemency power, Trump has undone prosecutions made by his own DOJ during his first term. Experts say the actions show a broad contempt for the justice system: “He’s rejecting ... the work of people he appointed but didn’t fully control.” By @jeremykohler.bsky.social

Servicewomen give so much and risk everything to protect our rights and freedoms. The least we can do is give them access to health care—including IVF. www.ms.now/news/mike-jo...

$1.6B in fraud against the American people. Spent only a few days in prison out of a years he was sentenced to serve. Does crime mean anything anymore to Republicans?

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

By 2040, ~40% of the images from Hubble Space Telescope, and more than 96% from new and future space telescopes like SPHEREx, ARRAKIHS, and Xuntian will be contaminated by internet satellite constellations. Read our new NASA article in Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Humankind has launch more satellites in the past four years (2021 - 2025) than in the previous seven decades. 75% of the currently active satellites belong to a single operator (SpaceX).

What did Trump get in return? 🤔🤔🤔

I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it. You couldn't write comedy better than this. It's better than VEEP.

NEW: Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) is the latest state election leader to reject a request from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to share private, unredacted voter data with the federal government. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

What an absolute disgrace. There must be consequences for this. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/lin...

"Kill them all!" Kegsbreath bragged about watching both strikes, then he said he didn't. He also said he didn't give the order for the second strike. The only lie he hasn't told yet: "A Black guy did it!" #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory newrepublic.com/post/203839/...

Like an SNL parody.

Breaking on MS NOW: The Signalgate report contradicts Pete Hegseth's claims he did nothing wrong. It shows he "violated policy by using a non-approved device," a source who read the report says. Hegseth failed to preserve records. The report says he put the operations and service people at risk.

Counterpoint: Let people have meaningful access to quality health coverage instead of coming up with these moronic proposals that still screw over lower-middle and middle-income Americans.

Can I let you in on a little secret? Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity. It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

Trump's tariffs are crushing America's small businesses. www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in Nov. That's the 4th negative number in past 6 months. The estimate was for +40,000, so the street was off ... this may be coming from being hammered by the tariffs"

Graham Platner is leading Gov. Janet Mills by 20 points in the Maine Senate Democratic primary, per a new poll. That might surprise pundits in DC, but it captures the vibe in Maine, where you might think he was the only candidate running. @zeteo.com zeteo.com/p/graham-pla...

Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) joins Chris Jansing to weigh in on the growing controversy over the deadly U.S. strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean, as well as millions of Americans potentially losing their health care subsidies at the end of the year. www.ms.now/chris-jansin...

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it? Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean. He served for 37 years.

The buck stops with the Secretary of Defense. @PeteHegseth needs to be transparent and take responsibility.

We all know it. The only mystery is what does Putin have on him? I'm not guessing, something that Epstein gave the Russians.

Rachel Maddow: "Russia is a podunk country. The idea that we work for him is so humiliating and is such an abject failure on the part of Trump in terms of his weakness. I don't know what Putin has on him, but he works for Putin and it's an embarrassment to this country"

When buying a house is unattainable and jobs are disappearing, it's no surprise young people think they can’t succeed, especially young men. It's not their fault. It’s Washington’s fault for allowing the middle class to be hollowed out just to make rich people richer.

Rich folks have long been attracted by the country’s Alpine beauty, political stability, excellent schools and hospitals—and, most important, its low taxes econ.st/4rwcWPb Photo: Getty Images

❗️"Theoretically, if we do the right things, in 10 years Ukraine's GDP could exceed Russia's GDP," – Rubio.

❗️"Some believe that we should provide Ukraine with unlimited financial aid, no matter how long the war lasts. This is unrealistic, it won't happen. We've been saying this for a long time," – U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

"The best researched and most comprehensive account of the New Right." Read William Galston's full review of Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right by @lkatfield.bsky.social:

George Will: "Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement. ... The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself" www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Looks like this will be low single digit race at this point and, per GOP, that’s a disaster.

Mark Kelly: Pete Hegseth runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense. He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

I’m sure the self-proclaimed ‘most transparent White House in history’ won’t mind a thorough investigation into the second strike. Sen Mark Kelly: “You do not execute survivors who are clinging onto a side of a ship.”

Fog my ass. Any fog is inside his ego blimped head and coiffed blowout. He was sitting in a secure room watching over the engagement like a video game. #FireHegeseth apnews.com/article/hegs...

Kegsbreath met with the reality of prosecution for war crimes & is singing quite a different tune from his bluster abt "lethal, kinetic strikes" that will continue. Now it's more like 'I was barely there, this other guy did it. I totally have his back though'🙄 🤬Spineless criminal (like his boss)
