I often talk to folks who never call or write the people they voted for. Just because you helped vote someone into an office doesn't mean they represent you. It means you agreed with them enough to vote for them. But, they have no idea if they agree with you, unless you tell them what you think.

Speaker Mike Johnson says of Venezuela: "This is not a regime change. This is a demand for change of behavior by a regime."

🚨INVESTIGATION: As you read this post, thieves may be draining your bank accounts using just publicly available info - and thanks to lobbyist-gutted rules & a new court ruling, banks do not necessarily have to reimburse you. A truly terrifying story - read it and then check your bank balances.

Trump risked American lives to kidnap Maduro just to have him replaced by one of Maduro's authoritarian cronies. This has nothing to do with drugs or ousting an authoritarian leader. It's a clown car of incompetence in an effort to enrich oil companies.

Does anyone think ‘the whale’ didn’t know for sure it was coming? Does anyone still believe Chuck Schumer didn’t know too?

Reminder: Medicare for All would save $450 billion and 68,000 lives every year.

Can we dispense with the Trump didn’t notify congress before attacking Venezuela nonsense? If the New York Times and Chevron knew, Chuck Schumer knew. Jim Himes knew. They weren’t consulted but they definitely knew. And also said nothing beforehand.

For everyone who needs to hear this, it’s not a distraction. Trump has gotten away with every terrible thing he’s ever done. He doesn’t care about the files. He isn’t worried. Taking over the oil assets in Venezuela was the plan all along. A new world order is the plan.

This is the same Democratic party that supported the invasion of Iraq. Literally, it’s still run by basically the exact same people.

It's about restoring Rubio's grifter friends to the palace, the oil thing is the cover story for the rubes and the companies who don't want to produce any more because prices are already in suicidal territory have to be bullied to prop it up

We have been researching the ease with which administration officials could do this kind of thing (even just by rumormongering) for several weeks, and were planning to run a story about it next week. Events overtook us, but look for our report soon at @prospect.org.

Invading Venezuela and kidnapping its leader without congressional authorization is illegal. It’s not a question. There is no doubt. It doesn’t matter if Maduro was awful. It doesn’t matter if Venezuelans don’t like him. The military wages war. It doesn’t do law enforcement.

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

Marco Rubio's right-wing exile grifters stand ready to bankrupt Venezuela and steal everything they can prospect.org/2025/11/26/3...

Epstein didn’t matter when Democrats won the 2020 elections.

Watching Smith’s deposition and rehashing it all in my mind. I am not young, and I think Trump may be the most incredible person to exist in my lifetime. He’s such a horrible human being who has spent a long life doing terrible things, & is always rewarded for it youtube.com/watch?v=FUVG...

The Washington Post is wrong. We need Medicare for All.

Next year I am running for mayor and if you think rural Americans don’t just want socialism by another name then you haven’t talked to a a prospective voter in a Charlie Kirk shirt who said all of these proposed policies are great before adding how we should also put a municipal gym on the list too

Billionaire Tom Steyer: “Bernie was right. Boy was I wrong. We don’t have a choice. We need single-payer.” #MedicareForAllNOW

Friendly reminder: The USA is the only country in the world with "pre-existing conditions." Everywhere else it's referred to simply as your "medical history". "Pre-existing condition" is a term created by insurance companies as a means to defraud their customers.

Single payer healthcare isn't extreme. Letting people die because they can't afford healthcare is extreme.

INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE CORPORATE DEATH PANELS Divided We Fall Lets UNITE in support of EXPANDED AND IMPROVED MEDICARE FOR ALL AMERICANS EVERYONE COVERED with no premiums, no copays, no coinsurance, and no out-of pockets DUH! LET'S LEAVE INSURANCE COMPANIES BEHIND AND COVER OURSELVES!

Millions of workers are toiling away from their families over the holidays. So thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Pay all workers a living wage.

🚨 UN aid workers who entered Sudan’s al-Fashir for the first time since the mass ethnic-cleansing violence that began on Oct. 26, following the city’s takeover by the Rapid Support Forces, say they found a city largely emptied of life. Only small numbers of civilians were seen sheltering in...

Yeesss👇🏻. Understand, Trump could drop dead tomorrow and this situation doesn’t improve in the slightest. The oligarchy is the problem.

All of the top 10 books borrowed through the public library app Libby were written by women. And Kristin Hannah's The Women was the top checkout in many library systems around the country.

Applying to a job in 2025 is the statistical equivalent of hurling your resume into a black hole, per Business Insider. “When someone submits a résumé today, they have an abysmally low 0.4% chance of actually getting the job.”

This is how you know a wealth tax is the right thing to do

Willis piece “For the most part, Democrats followed the Biden commission’s lead. A Senate bill to add four seats to the court picked up a total of three (3) Democratic supporters. Biden maintained his opposition, as did the Senate Democratic Caucus’ most obnoxious future lobbyists…”

“In the murky world of intelligence, what was Jeffrey Epstein’s role?” Drop Site’s Ryan Grim told Tim Dillon that Epstein moved within what he calls the “Davos crew” — a tight global elite network of heads of state, billionaires, CEOs, financiers, intelligence-linked figures, & senior media and...

I assume the assignment was to imprison this monster. Because the people who could have done that saw these documents along time ago.

That even reindeer children are cruel to those who are different and that the Isle of Misfit Toys seemed like a good place to live. Also that removing the teeth of a 12 foot tall Abominable with enormous claws apparently renders it harmless.

To all who celebrate, have a wonderful day 😊🎄

"Their futures gleamed somewhere in the distance. All good things were possible. This faith, this optimism, was at the heart of Reiner’s case for a new tax on cigarettes, with the proceeds used to finance services for pregnant women and young children."

Tesla doesn't recongise Trade Unions. Apple doesn't recognise unions. Amazon is anti-union. McDonald's is anti-union. Starbucks is anti-union. Google is anti-union. Walmart is anti-union. The big corporations are not on your side.

How are these billionaires so chronically clueless? It’s Christmas Eve and he just posted about his company charging a man with rare cancer almost $1000 for treatment. It might be sofa cushion change for Mark Cuban but for most people in America that’s still unaffordable. Listen to real people.

We've got 1 more Moe Tkacik banger in us before the end of the year. It's about Marco Rubio, his scheme to appoint drug cartel bosses & their cronies atop the governments of every Latin American country in the name of fighting drug cartels, & his high school summer job working for a drug trafficker.

Since I’m getting “what did I miss” from alot, Paramount Plus, owner of CBS spiked the El Salvador CECOT prison story yesterday on 60 minutes because it made the White House look bad. Cancel paramount plus Censorship. Bari Weiss

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
