just as close as the polls predicted. this is why they’re trying to gerrymander every red state they can — they know most people are sick of their shit.

'Wow': Newsmax analyst stuns warning Trump admin should face war crime prosecution

To reiterate, we’re talking a D+19 shift in TENNESSEE, a state which Trump won by almost 30 points A YEAR AGO (last year Trump won CD-07 by 22 points and scandal-plagued Mark Green won CD-07 by 21.5 points)

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there. Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

ICE and DHS are separating young children from their parents and disappearing them. 6 year old Yuanxin was separated from his father after a routine immigration check in on Nov. 26th. Yuanxin's father was not told where his son was being sent. Yuanxin'swhereabouts are still unknown.

NYT: “.. Even for Mr. Trump — who has a long history of insulting Black people, particularly those from African countries — his outburst was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

After becoming a congressional leader, a politician’s stock portfolio beats out those of peers by 47 (!!!) percentage points a year through trades timed around bills and firms that later get government contracts www.nber.org/papers/w34524 via @florianederer.bsky.social

Shocking footage out of Minneapolis emerges as activists on the ground report ICE is pulling people out of their cars simply because they look Somali:

The U.S. has conducted 19 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing at least 76 people. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.

BREAKING: First formal human rights complaint has been filed by a family of a man killed as part of Donald Trump’s and Pete Hegseth’s extrajudicial killings. This is significant. Meanwhile, Trump and Hegseth are placing all the blame on a senior Admiral. I have the latest. Subscribe to support

Interesting that he omits the fact that the investigation into former Honduras president Juan Orlando Hernandez began during Trump’s first term So technically today’s pardon would reverse a Trump witch hunt But really, it's just another example of his "Biden Bad/Trump Good" fantasy

Freed from prison by Trump on his last day in office in 2021, a $200 million fraudster started a new Ponzi scheme within months. *A Bloomberg Big Take* FREE Gift Link: www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

'I don’t want them in our country:' Moments from Trump Cabinet meeting

Morgan freeman in se7en voice: I agree with the last part

Ted Cruz: "Mr President, I think objectively on the merits, the case can be made that there's never been a president who has had a greater positive impact on the children of America than you have."

🧵How is #ICE finding people? Buckle up and sit down. You're not going to like this 🧵. Sounds like we're going to have to protest and boycott #Motorola. Among other things...

Never forget that we're in a CLASS WAR, not a political one. shorturl.fm/2qBi9

Rubio is talking about Americans dying and Trump is literally asleep. This isn’t a slip. It’s who he is. The Nodfather, snoozing through his own Cabinet meeting.

#USDemocracy #MomSky Voters of Tennessee Congressional District 7: here's when and where to vote for Aftyn Behn. 👇

"They... they... they..." That's the sound of the bus being driven over Admiral Bradley.

This unhinged, mentally ill, unstable person who said '9/11 was a hoax', is now part of the Pentagon press pool? FYI: She's not even allowed to own a weapon.🙄

A faith-based pregnancy center will come before the Supreme Court on Tuesday to challenge an investigation into whether it misled people to discourage abortions. https://to.pbs.org/4rvPvoX

Donald Trump’s MAGA Republican Party. Where fear and intimidation rules.

Guy voted for a rapist and just can’t figure out why his daughters are mad at him. Clearly it must be something wrong with them.

NEW: It's getting close to Epstein Files Day (December 19). Will the Trump administration release the documents? In the meantime, in my OUR LAND newsletter, I explain how Putin helped land Trump in the Epstein mess. link.motherjones.com/public/42809... You can subscribe at davidcorn.com.

How long before Kegsbreath is bombing buildings in your neighborhood claiming it’s a narco terrorist cell? People don’t seem to mind a lack of evidence. They just want to watch things blow up. That’s where we’re at in Murica.

So, seems like we’re not all that serious about fighting the war on drugs after all. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

I know hypocrisy is a feature not a bug in this era but if the Chinese government said it had intel (which they refused to show or verify) on U.S. citizen criminals who were doing things that negatively impacted Chinese citizens so they did some targeted strikes on or right off american soil…

A vote for Van Epps is a vote for the Ku Klux Klan. Van Epps touts endorsements from controversial, corrupt figures americanjournalnews.com/van-epps-tou... #Tennessee #ChooseAftynBehn #USPol

NEW: A ProPublica and @highcountrynews.org investigation found that government programs supporting grazing on public lands prop up a wealthy few while harming the environment. The Trump administration is supercharging the system.

This kind of performative nonsense will not last one day in lady prison.

As it should be - BLUE is at the top Let that be THE motivation to all that go to the polls today We are counting on you! #ElectionDay

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Give not a millimeter to Russia. Not a single grain of Ukrainian soil.

"… in the present instance, it was perfectly clear to the accused that killing defenceless people in the life-boats could be nothing else but a breach of the law. As naval officers by profession they were well aware …."

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans. Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

Thou shalt not pretend that you’re at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.

It’s arguable that releasing the ridiculously censored Epstein Files will be less devastating than releasing The Apprentice tapes.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

This Keeps Getting Worse As Pete Hegseth Reportedly Committed Murder Or A War Crime

“In a rare split with the Trump administration, GOP-led panels in the House and Senate say they want a full accounting in the September military attack.” Hegseth appears to have crossed a line even the GOP can’t ignore.
