Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago. His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship." He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

This is both disgusting and expected. The Scumbag-in-Chief

With just 17 days until Obamacare tax credits expire, it’s now clear: Congress—and the country—are headed over the Obamacare cliff. Even if the House acts, the Senate won’t move in time. It’s outrageous that all members of Congress have great, taxpayer-funded healthcare! Screw regular Americans!!

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Rest In Peace Rob Reiner 💙❤️💙

Murphy: "We need to understand the choice we've made in this nation to subject our kids to daily exposure to violence is not just about what happens inside schools. For many kids in our violent urban neighborhoods, it's about trauma that's breaking their brains & causing them to be unable to learn"

Once again, Russia has only itself to blame for this. It was its aggression that caused Finland and Sweden to join NATO and its Russia’s aggression that has strengthened the European alliance and put it on a war footing.

We are heartbroken by the attack at Bondi Beach that targeted the Jewish community during a Hanukkah celebration, as families gathered to mark a sacred holiday. Now and always, we condemn this act of antisemitic violence, and violence in all its forms.

The president interrupted his Christmas remarks because he was confused about whether or not the woman five feet in front of him was his daughter who, he has repeatedly said in public, he would very much like to fuck. Anyway, Merry Christmas!

Fox News will continue to gaslight their low IQ audience, but we all know what's happening to Trump. The rapid decline is unmistakable. 😳👇

Your front door can be your legal shield - here's how.

‼️‼️

Ahmed Al Ahmed’s cousin: “He’s a hero. 100% a hero.”

GOP Rep. Mike Turner: "There is very grave concern in Congress about these strikes in general. These individuals are not being subject to criminal prosecution, and if we they were subject to criminal prosecution, there's no capital punishment."

Terrific investigation into Greg Bovino's roots. Lots of interesting details, including: "Here’s how the Bovinos managed to get around the new quotas that limited how many Italians and others deemed to be “undesirables” could end up in the United States." chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdog...

“…USA is a place that people fear… don’t trust … it’s no longer a destination… it’s a place to be AVOIDED.”

The VA already slashed 30,000 jobs earlier this year as part of an agency-wide reorganization.

So, this happened😱 no one is talking about it.

Warnock: "Any nation that tolerates this kind of violence year after year, decade after decade in random places, on our college and school campuses, without doing all that we can to stop it is broken and in need of moral repair."

The hero of Bondi: Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner from Sutherland. He grabbed the gun off one of the terrorists shooting at Jews during a Hanukkah celebration. Ahmed was then shot in the leg and shoulder by another terrorist. He’s being treated in the hospital and expected to be OK.

It was a quick trip from "Make America Great Again" to "Shit Happens"

OK then, what was the action? What has the Trump admin done? What proposals have they made? They have only ever offered “thoughts and prayers” on social media. Nothing else.

Sen. Jack Reed: "I must remind everyone that we follow the law of war, and because of that, we expect other countries. So that when our service members are in distress, they're not shot up in the water or if they're wounded, left to die. If we don't do it, then we can't expect other countries."

Interesting @aselrod.bsky.social piece skewering the absurdity of people like Tucker Carlson and JD Vance claiming a monopoly on human flourishing rooted in hidebound patriarchy they want to impose on everyone else not privileged enough to appreciate it: www.liberalcurrents.com/marriage-mis...

Horrific mass shooting at Brown. Thinking of the victims and their families. We simply do not have to live this way. The failure to pass gun safety legislation is a moral stain & innocent Americans pay the price time and again.

The hero who disarmed one of the terrorists in Sydney turned out to be 43-year-old Ahmed al-Ahmed — a fruit shop owner and father of two. He was shot twice and is currently in hospital. He is scheduled to undergo surgery. He had no experience with weapons of any kind.

Sen. Jack Reed: "This is really outrageous. Mark Kelly is a veteran, he's fought in combat, he's an astronaut. And even was simply repeated what the law is. If a US senator can't do that, then this country is in profound difficulty."

Putin claimed Ukrainian forces were "surrounded" in Kupiansk. He invited foreign journalists to see the encircled troops. Instead he got a visit from Zelenskyy who showed up to dismiss that claim. Ukraine went on the offensive cutting off Russians supply lines, killing 900 in 48 hours. #slavaukraini

Rand Paul: "The president also said, 'Be careful Colombia, you could be next.' I mean, if we're gonna go and topple regime after regime in South America, there's no amount of money that could be printed to pay for that and I don't think lives should be lost without a vote by Congress."

Heartbreaking and horrifying to go to bed reading about the mass shooting at Brown University and wake up to read about the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach. Thinking of the victims, their loved ones, and those affected by the hate that drove these attacks.

Every day I am going to post this (permission from Del Schilling). Will you join me? Over 5700+ Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls #MMIWG #cdnpoli

Couldn't agree more. All of these proposals are constitutional, reasonable, and vital. (1/2)

just. brutal.

Hero. ❤️ '43-year-old father of two, Ahmed el Ahmed, wrestled a rifle off one of the Bondi Beach gunmen. Ahmed is from Sydney’s Sutherland Shire and owns a fruit business. He has no known experience with guns and was visiting Bondi when he saw the shooting unfolding. archive.today/2025.12.14-1...

A terror attack at a Jewish Hanukkah festival on Sydney’s Bondi Beach killed 11 and wounded at least 29, including police. One suspect is dead and another critically injured. Australian leaders call it antisemitic terrorism. Ukraine’s Zelensky offered condolences and support to Australia.

'Remarkable': Plurality of Republicans now believe Trump had knowledge of Epstein's crimes www.rawstory.com/jeffrey-epst...

Wow! This man is a hero. Watch him wrestle the rifle from one of the Bondi Beach shooters.

No cherry-picking. No party filter. Just receipts. And a lot of powerful men are terrified right now. KASIE HUNT: “Do you have pictures of people engaged in sexual acts as part of this?” REP. SUBRAMANYAM: “Yes, there are people engaged in sexual acts.” @repsuhas.bsky.social

No president is legally allowed to tear down portions of the White House without any review whatsoever. And no president is legally allowed to construct a ballroom on public property without giving the public the opportunity to weigh in.

We got a sad reminder today that ISIS is still out there. Sofia and I offer our condolences to the soldiers killed today by this evil group

Fox is blaming RFK Jr. for the measles outbreak. They promoted him, supported his nomination, and now they are turning on him. 🙄
