+$20 billion bailout of Argentina to protect billionaire allies

Horrific. Preventable.

A devastating story about the life and death of Lia Smith, a transgender woman and college student targeted by conservatives online because she briefly participated on the school's diving team. Lia was found dead by suicide last fall at the age of 21. (Unlocked article below)

I remember when they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty.

Trump just handed Russia and China all kinds of pretext and precedent to take illegal, unilateral action. We are headed into very dangerous times.

Whatever happens now, we absolutely cannot allow Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization for what appears to be a large scale military attack on another country vanish from the media discussion, which already appears to be happening.

Rep. Seth Moulton comes on CNN and starts by saying: "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading / occupying / running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

This is why they want us talking about day care scams.

Wanna see real-life miracles? Fund scientific research. A team of US scientists just cured Alzheimer’s in mice — and there is now hope that the disease can be reversed in humans. futurism.com/health-medic...

They really cut $1 Trillion from Medicaid then put $50 billion back and think we’re all too dumb to notice

The new travel ban takes family separation to an entirely new level. If a US citizen wants to adopt a Syrian baby, he or she will be unable to bring them home. If an American marries their loved one from Sudan, he or she will not be able to sponsor them for a visa.

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)

⚡️Ukraine regains part of Pokrovsk as 'defense continues,' Syrskyi says. Ukraine has recaptured 13 square kilometers (5 square miles) of territory in Pokrovsk after previously having no troops left in the city, Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said during a Dec. 9 press briefing.

Every House Democrat has signed a discharge petition to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. We only need a few House Republicans to join us and save health care for millions of Americans.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

He’s rolling over for all the land grabbing dictators—Putin and Xi. What’s Trump got in HIS land grabbing list? Greenland minerals, Venezuelan oil?

Disgusting. Shameful. Not what America voted for.

Take pride in our fellow American, Sen. Mark Kelly, vigorously standing up for the Constitution and against a violence-inciting White House occupant who is failing to intimidate this good man and honorable public servant.

So sad. So needless.

Dear Americans, read this, then read it again, and then vote for progressive democrats who will bring our country into the 21st century with all of the other advanced nations of earth.

The 20 biggest political donors on the Forbes billionaires list have collectively given nearly $5 billion between 2015 and 2024. We must get Big Money out of politics. No one from either party should be able to buy an election.

Don't print lies in the newspaper

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

#GVerse #KingResist #Unite #FBaRmy An ICE Agent was BUSTED by Bloomington Police in "Operation Creep" trying to solicit sex from a minor. When arrested, he said "I'm ICE, boys." That #FuckICE Agent is toast.

This is amazing! Any state can get corporate money out of politics, it appears. The Montana plan.

Why would the Epstein buddy president go out of his way to help sex trafficker Andrew Tate? Guess some mysteries are unsolvable.

Deportations actually _increase_ housing prices because they shrink the construction industry. The reduction in new houses being built swamps effects from lower demand

This is what they “inherited” BTW

They rounded a bunch of random Venezuelans with tats and pretended they were in tren de aragua, then started blowing up random Venezuelan boats they claim “carried drugs,” in order to slowly groom their base into supporting a full ground war on Venezuela that was always about oil

Zeroes in on a crucial policy goal for whenever the Ds again take power

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Wonder what he's talking about? A chess game, perhaps?

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

Worth hearing. Thoughtful. I’m stil pissed, but worth hearing.

Not a coincidence that none face the voters in ‘26.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs. So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract. Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

A flexible spending account that replaces enhanced ACA premium tax credits would help people with their out-of-pocket health care costs. But, that help would be limited if they couldn't afford to buy insurance to begin with without the enhanced tax credits.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Arizonans are worse off today because their healthcare is now in limbo. Simply put: it's not a deal if it’s missing access to affordable healthcare. Hardworking Americans deserve results, not empty promises. If I were in Congress, I would vote NO.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

What a great idea! Thanks to @firedbutfighting.bsky.social, we can all support furloughed and fired federal employees who are offering a variety of services, including dog-walking, tutoring, graphic design, meal prep, and much more. For more information, visit firedbutfighting.org/talent-marke....

To recap, among young voters… Prop 50: +58 Sherril: +37 Spanberger: +40 Mamdani: +61 I better see the media start retracting some of those stories saying Gen Z is the most conservative generation.
