I knew it! "This wasn’t an inflation report. It was a disappearing act. They did not include the majority of prices Americans actually pay. Energy. Health care. Utilities. Entire categories ... were quietly left out. " isaiahrmartin.substack.com/p/trumps-inf...

"Radon, being colorless and odorless, is hard to detect without special equipment. Antisemitism, by contrast, is unsubtle and requires deliberate choices to unsee."

NEW: The suspect in the Brown University mass shooting was also the suspected shooter in the killing of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor, officials said.

Good god

This has been supported by research for many years. Healthcare is simply afraid to put safeguards out there.

Should not be surprising that the economic numbers from the regime are questionable.

'What The Hell': Trump's Nothingburger National Address Leaves Watchers Baffled Trump's end-of-year address to the nation meandered across a few of his favorite topics, but viewers were left searching for any real point to the whole thing.

Trump touts accomplishments, attacks Democrats amid persistent concerns over economy

What would be great is if Dem members in multiple states showed up at multiple ICE facilities at 10 a.m. tomorrow armed with this injunction.

President Trump says that checks for $1,776 each are going out to nearly 1.5 million servicemembers. I have questions. + When did Congress approve such a plan? + Where is the money coming from? + How is it non-taxable? Did Congress vote to do that? I'm sure there must be specific bill text.

"He spent that whole speech aggrieved, like not just sort of channeling grievance, but, like, personally aggrieved," @eggerdc.bsky.social said of Trump. "He thinks he is doing a fucking amazing job of being the president, and he does not see that reflected in what he gets back."

Trump sounds like a maniac at some sort of demented open mic

Warnock: He's got a lot of nerve saying that I'm using faith to divide people. This is a man who literally had protesters gassed and beaten down so he could hold up a bible in front of a church.

Pathetic

Mainers need better. Collins is a complete joke. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Hmm, what could have caused this www.cnn.com/2025/12/16/e...

The Republican propaganda that Trump “inherited” a bad economy from Biden and is making it better is the exact opposite of true. The numbers don’t lie and people know what they are experiencing.

Do not forget that the endgame of authoritarian regimes is to no longer need popular approval.

The distinction between Ukraine’s and Russia’s strategies is essential. One side is attacking the war-fighting capacity. The other is attacking society. lnk.thebulwark.com/3KKfIzP

[email protected] : Were you satisfied with the answers you’ve gotten so far in this classified briefing on Venezuela? AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Munson: In Oklahoma, Republicans have been in charge of state government for two decades, and nothing has improved. In fact, everything has gotten worse. On every good list, we’re at the bottom, and on every bad list, we’re at the very top.

No judge. No jury. Just the Secretary of War.

JUST IN: 24 red states back Trump on Alien Enemies Act detentions, argue his declaration of an enemy 'invasion' can't be questioned by courts. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26... Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

🚨BREAKING: Republicans on county election boards are advancing proposals to the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) that would make it harder to vote — especially for student, minority and working-class voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I agree the regime controlling would be absolutely insane, but SCOTUS is ready to hand the regime everything else on a platter. The scales are almost completely lopsided.

"We should take over the oil fields. It's very easy to do." Donald Trump promised to be a peacetime president. So why is he preparing for a regime change war in Venezuela?

Loving this real talk from Dr. Fiona Havers, infectious disease expert and former CDC colleague. 💚 “…this administration is causing a lot of confusion and is using, basically, the CDC to spread misinformation now about vaccines.” Listen/read for her scientific take on the state of vaccines today.

It might help if it started in the White House!

It's possible. It just takes political will.

House Oversight Committee members recently released photos of Jeffrey Epstein with prominent figures including Donald Trump. You deserve the full story. We’ve sued for records of interviews with Trump related to the Epstein investigation. americanoversight.org/american-ove...

Our competitors/colleagues at the @miamiherald.com posted an explosive investigation a few days ago showing the DeSantis administration misappropriated more than $35 million in state funds. Now, the Legislature must do its job, because DeSantis won't police himself. Our editorial (gift link):

Yes, disgusting, but just another day in the U.S.

It is important to promise, now, that whatever Trump builds at the White House will be torn down as soon as he leaves. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/if-he-buil...

Couldn’t possibly agree more. McConnell is seen by some as this shrewd political manipulator. But, that’s easy if you have no morals or ethics.

An ICE Air flight carried migrants from Alexandria, LA, to the US Naval Base at Guantánamo Bay today—the first migrants held at GTMO since October 17.

Q: What exactly was the evidence that led you to this person of interest? A: …this specific one it was actually picked up by the, by the FBI, and they followed through with it, and they ended up coming and locating this individual of interest.

Outdated laws give presidents sweeping power to use the military at home to suppress protests and make mass arrests in times of war and domestic upheaval. Congress must repeal the Alien Enemies Act, close the loopholes in the Posse Comitatus Act, and reform the Insurrection Act. bit.ly/4oxXJLN

Dissenting in Bush v. Gore, Justice John Paul Stevens wrote that the 2000 election’s true loser was “the Nation’s confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law.” bit.ly/48F2YSP

Ugh

No kidding

precious few of our national level leaders have acted as heroes this year. That has largely been a role foisted upon regular people to bear the burden of being courageous in the face of authoritarianism. Senator Van Hollen saving Kilmar’s life is an exception - a genuine act of heroism.

The Trump administration has opened an investigation into Boston’s affordable housing policies, accusing the city of engaging in a “racialist theory of housing justice” that discriminates against white people.

ICE blocked from grocery entrance ✊ 12/11/25 St.Paul, Minnesota

Trump lies about everything. From BBC.

Why was the Senate amid the divisions and tragedies of the 1960s far more heroic and forward-looking than the Senate today? Well, you know why.
