My take on the FBI’s press conference today. Join the discussion on Substack: substack.com/@thefrankfig...

Jared Kushner is back at the center of Trumpworld, mixing foreign policy, war zone “reconstruction,” and massive media deals. From Middle East negotiations to a bid for CNN, the conflicts of interest are staggering and the stakes could not be higher.

Big announcement from Gov. Newsom:

Trump wasn’t being honest, he’s being deliberately vicious and daring people to confuse it with strength. That post wasn’t truth-telling, it was being cruel and vindictive for applause.

My new podcast "Burn Order" is about the decision to incarcerate tens of thousands of Japanese-American families during World War II, and the remarkable fight against it. 6 episodes in total -- Eps. 1 and 2 are posted now. 3 and 4 will post tomorrow, December 8: podcasts.apple.com/me/podcast/r...

The American people deserve to feel protected by their president. Not attacked by him.

Mark Kelly: "They are not silencing me. I'm still speaking out. I still am going to do my job every single day regardless of whether this president wants to kill me, hang me, execute me, or shut me up. I'm not gonna shut up."

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors. New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

I spent the last day of the holiday weekend wandering the southwestern part of the 2nd District along Route 66. Got a chance to talk to working folks and small business owners and learned even more about this beautiful portion of Missouri. So much to fight for! @wellmanformo.bsky.social #TeamWellman

Elizabeth Warren on Colbert's show: "We don't think one corporation or one man named David Ellison should be able to buy up all the shows and buy up all the sports and buy up all the news and decide who watches what and I'm gonna stay in that fight."

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

NPR Veterans Correspondent Quil Lawrence interviewed Dave Carlson over 10 years, as the Iraq war vet went from war to incarceration to redemption on his long journey home.

Atrocities committed against civilians during Sudan’s civil war require urgent investigation, UN officials said on Friday, as they warned the international community that it was doing too little to stop the worsening humanitarian crisis.

On Veterans Day, @contrariannews.org sent me and @thecierastour.bsky.social to cover nationwide protests -- of Vets saying "hell no" to the Trump administration's militarization of U.S. cities. We met some extraordinary defenders of democracy:

"Ms. Halligan’s actions appear to constitute an abuse of power and serve to undermine the integrity of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and erode public confidence in the legal profession and the fair administration of justice." www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow. She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president. The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Democracy Docket was started to be an uncompromising voice for democracy and free and fair elections. It has no corporate overlords or billionaires pulling the strings. It will never back down or obey. Support its critical pro-democracy work. https://bit.ly/47a0rR6

PM Carney: "If you look at the effective tax rate on investment for Canada, it is the lowest in the G7.

There’s a big bit in here on obvious draft day theft Alexander Zharovsky. Get to know him.

Christi runs a small business in Eagan, MN and helps pay her employee's premiums. Now those costs are skyrocketing because Congressional Republicans refuse to extend the health care tax credits. We must prevent these price hikes.

"I hope your beeper doesn't go off." A year ago today, a racist tried to make a 'joke' about me being killed by Israel. It was the 1st time I've ever walked off of live TV. That night CNN said they'd ban the racist from their air. But in the year since, I myself haven't been invited back on CNN.
