It always helps get the holiday season off to a wonderful start with the help of such a loving, engaged family leading the nation's observances. www.rawstory.com/melania-trum...

Tales of the death of farming in in this small corner of fast-developing northern Illinois have been greatly exaggerated…new post up over at the blog... historyonthefox.wordpress.com/2025/11/24/t...

Note to Latino voters: You may not like Dems' stance on choice & LGBTQ+ issues, but they won't send heavily armed masked thugs to kidnap you off the street, at your job, or while you're shopping and send you to some foreign hellhole. Just some food for thought. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Voters, you might want to pay attention when racists speak. The Trump crime regime made it plain they believed ALL immigrants were "the worst of the worst," and all of them need to be deported, even those who are here legally. Except themselves, like Musk, of course: www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

So the Crashing Boer over at Twitter finds out "transparency" isn't all that valuable for the extreme right, since it immediately proves the whole movement's a fraud propped up by malicious anti-American foreigners: www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

It's going to be hilarious watching GOP'ers try to get Trump interested in anything that might benefit anyone except himself, and that includes his own voters, people he holds in total contempt. To be fair, he holds everyone else in total contempt too. www.rawstory.com/donald-trump...

The Trump regime's overt, contemptuous lawlessness is getting pushback, and they don't like it. The military and political personnel being ordered to commit crimes have reason to be worried about their own liability. www.rawstory.com/trump-sediti...

Boy, that Epstein cesspool sure was deep and wide... currently.att.yahoo.com/att/bannon-e...

The real mystery is why anyone still expects any member of the Trump regime to tell the truth about anything. It seems, as a group, that they're both mentally and physically incapable of it. www.rawstory.com/alternet-pos...

The Trump regime is quickly destroying the entire U.S. government while showing total contempt for the law & the Constitution. Now they're attacking the very foundations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. It will take decades to repair the damage they're doing. www.rawstory.com/trump-troops...

The Russian-dictated Ukrainian 'peace plan' confirms once again--as if any confirmation was needed--that Trump is nothing more than a treacherous right-wing surrender monkey and spineless Putin catspaw: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

What Dems should emphasize hourly: The Republican Party's depravity, exemplified by the Epstein scandal; its contempt for the law & the Constitution exemplified by the extrajudicial murders off Venezuela & ICE thugs running amuck, & its total economic incompetence. newrepublic.com/post/203455/...

This is a fascinating piece that everyone interested in the "why" of modern U.S. electoral politics ought to read: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/not-just-l...

Wonder what it will finally take for people to accept that Republicans no longer know how to govern? They've forced everyone who did out of the party. Anyway, even if they did know how to govern, this latest bunch wouldn't be interested in doing it. www.rawstory.com/marco-rubio-...

The list of sex offenders and their hangers-on and other random criminal types Trump has attracted to GOP politics just keeps getting longer and more disgusting. www.rawstory.com/trump-267433...

Okay, the continual misuse of the word "conservative" really gets to me. These people are NOT conservative. They are radical right-wing extremists whose stock in trade is hate, fear, and ignorance. www.rawstory.com/school-board...

Federal employees, including the military: Following orders to do illegal things is no defense, & will get you prosecuted. For you military folks, note there's no statute of limitations on war crimes & crimes against humanity. For background, Google Nuremberg trials: www.rawstory.com/trump-illega...

In case you, like I, wonder where this sudden animosity against Venezuela came from, it's an elaborate fiction manufactured by a couple of obvious crooks financed by a U.S. billionaire and swallowed whole by Trump. Shades of Iraq... www.blueamp.co/p/trump-got-...

Right-wingers...always a classy bunch: www.rawstory.com/dan-crenshaw...

Grain elevators are a surviving link to this fast-changing northern Illinois community's farming past. New post up over at the blog... historyonthefox.wordpress.com/2025/11/19/o...

Just saw some pundit commenting on Latino voters' "swing to the left" after the 2024 vote. I figure they're just as conservative as they've always been. They're just concerned now about the Republican Party's heavily armed, masked thugs assaulting & kidnapping them in their homes & on the streets.

How in the world can our democracy survive when voters are so ignorant that they don't know which party controls the government? This whole 250-year experiment in representative government could come crashing down because of the people's raging stupidity. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

Wonder why Trump ever made the Epstein files a campaign issue. He knew he was mentioned all over them. He apparently thought, after MAGA'd been stoking crackpot Epstein theories about Dems, he could quash the whole thing after he was elected. Politically live by conspiracies, die by them, I guess.

The MAGA Republican Party's malevolent stupidity has once again come back to bite them. It's likely they won't even win this one in the corrupt SCOTUS. And the thing is if they hadn't been exuberantly racist they could have done it legally: www.rawstory.com/texas-gerrym...

Wait! Christians actually quoting Jesus? What kind of radicalism will they come up with next? www.rawstory.com/trump-pope-c...

So...apparently the Trump regime's overt racism isn't a good sell in court, even with judges Trump appointed himself? slate.com/news-and-pol...

This guy claims he has principles, which of course brings to mind the Groucho Marx quote: “Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others." www.rawstory.com/clay-higgins...

Look up "cesspool" online and you'll have a good idea what so much of 'elite' journalism has become: www.thehandbasket.co/p/moral-rot-...

Have to hand it to those wily Democrats, forcing Trump to be buddy-buddy with the nation's most notorious pedophile decades ago so they could use it against him now. I never thought planning ahead was a Dem forte, but wow! www.rawstory.com/trump-epstei...

For good reason, the radical right wing figures the law doesn't apply to them. Every once in a while, though, they're brought up sharply. Pretty sure this appeal will be okayed because SCOTUS is now in the business of just making up law as they go along. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

They think the Pope is woke? Just wait till they read about Jesus and the whole Sermon on the Mount thing: www.rawstory.com/maga-pope-leo/

For reasons unexplained, Joe Scarborough seems to think SCOTUS right-wingers have the capacity to feel shame. That's a fact clearly not in evidence. www.rawstory.com/kavanaugh-ice/

It is not hyperbole to describe the Trump regime as a criminal organization abetted at all levels of government, including the judicial, by the GOP. It's unclear if this mess ever will or ever can be cleaned up: www.rawstory.com/should-be-en...

Note to Latino voters: Don't believe anything a convicted felon says who told more than 30,000 documented lies during his first term, & who has always loudly hated you for who you are. Electing him President could literally be fatal for you. Thus endeth my Ted Talk. www.cnn.com/2025/11/15/p...

After their hysterical anti-pedophilia campaign during the past several years, it's been surprising to find out how many right wing politicians are actually pedophilia enablers, willing to staunchly support the worst of the worst: www.rawstory.com/john-barrasso/

Now might be a good time for one of those high-priced White House reporters to ask Trump exactly what he means when he calls the Epstein files a hoax. If he means they don't exist, his administration sure seem to be spending a lot of time on nothing.

How about the Democratic Party coordinating a group to sue in civil court individual ICE thugs and their leadership, as well as the contractors who are allegedly training the goons? Also, since the goons refuse to identify themselves, how about actively doxxing as many of them as possible?

When sanity once again prevails in this country, everyone currently working for ICE--now nothing more than a violent gang of thugs--should be arrested and investigated. The few innocents can be released; the rest--particularly leaders--should be prosecuted and jailed. ncnewsline.com/2025/11/14/i...

Remember the ICE raid on that Chicago apartment building complete with a helicopter and dopes on ropes, and how the thugs harassed and terrorized the building's residents? According to Pro Publica, no criminal charges were filed against anyone. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1889: Journalist Nellie Bly sets off on a trip around the world alone, attempting to beat the “record” set in Jules Verne’s fictional book, “Around the World in 80 Days.” She ultimately completed the journey in just 72 days, six hours and 11 minutes. /1

Actually, if you pay attention to they way they look and act, and their previous lives, substance abuse seems to be pretty common among top Trump officials.

With any other President, a note like this alone would have quickly led to impeachment and conviction on the grounds of dangerous mental instability. That somewhere around 31% of voters still support him says reams about their own mental stability: www.rawstory.com/thomas-massi...

Looking for an unpopular opinion? Reality TV, UFC fighting, and other Hunger Games/Running Man wannabes coarsened and desensitized American society, encouraging mean-spirited ridicule for the weak and confused, paving the way for the right wing to legalize and revel in overt lawlessness.

MAGA's new catch phrase: "Pedophilia in pursuit of political power and wealth is no vice." It sort of sings, doesn't it?

It's interesting how open and routine government corruption has become since the right's takeover of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government. Social scientists will be studying how fragile our Constitution really is for generations: currently.att.yahoo.com/att/trump-ad...

Note to Trump's MAGA military murdering crews on those boats down south: These guys were assured by their corrupt legal officials that what they were doing was within the law. It wasn't and several of them were hanged. Food for thought?

This keeps going on, I may have to turn Catholic. Guys obviously the coolest pope in history.

nuzzi is in the club the media protects the club members nobody in the club can ever be wrong people like jake tapper, maggie haberman, ben smith, etc are the club nuzzi must be protected. its like the mafia or corrupt police.

This needs much more attention and circulation.

It strikes me that enthusiastically adopting cruelty and contempt for the majority of Americans who aren't rich may not have been the Republican Party's best political course.
