Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire. The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich. We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

Mockler: Donald Trump's tariffs are disproportionately harming low income families. Lambert: No, they’re not. You’re wrong. Phillip: I don’t think he’s wrong

Give me more of this England, please - the one with lovely people in it.

Narrator: The EU isn't scared of Musk and just fined X €120m (£105m) after it was found in breach of new EU digital laws

The Birthday Parks: A Small Thing With a Very Big Signal open.substack.com/pub/steadyst... "these small gestures are markers — signals — of a deeper, deliberate shift in the relationship between the state and the individual who leads it. They trace the outline of an emerging cult of personality."

I retraced Trump's week from his daily schedule, showing his obvious decline, AND why this matters! Where is our media on this too? open.substack.com/pub/theweekl...

Longtime Sports Illustrated columnist Reilly also wrote the book Commander in Cheat which documented the many ways that Trump cheats at golf.

Underrated post

It’s pretty simple, really. If you dont want people questioning your stamina and health, QUIT FALLING ASLEEP IN FRONT OF TV CAMERAS AT YOUR OWN CABINET MEETINGS. Also, RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-79-is-...

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

Pretty much every week, the Supreme Court looks at a provision of the Constitution that I’ve taught as having a standard, non-controversial interpretation for over 200 years, and says, “nah, we don’t like that.”

wow -- John Berman demolished Tom Cotton in this interview

The greatest danger to Democracy is “political and institutional decorum.” How many times must we watch Our “leaders” fail to understand these fascists do not play by the same old rules? We’ve already suffered enough through the ineffectual merrick garland clinging to the vestiges of civic decorum

trump said those are Biden's hands

It really is amazing that the president has a noticeable an unexplained physical ailment that is disfiguring his right hand and there's no reporting about it. The White House's line is that it's from Trump shaking too many hands! Something is clearly being covered up.

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

GUR chief Budanov on the Abu Dhabi talks: “Everything is fine. Don’t rush. All negotiations must happen in the shadows, otherwise they won’t succeed. You don’t want us to blow them, do you?” he said.

IDK I feel like a highly trained warrior would have known that ordering the 2nd strike on defenseless humans would be an illegal

🇺🇦 Budanov: Negotiations in Abu Dhabi? Everything is fine there. Don’t rush. All negotiations must remain in the shadows, because otherwise they won’t be successful.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara issued a stern warning to his officers on Thursday: Intervene when you see Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents using unlawful force or lose your job.

A Utah judge Friday refused to halt her landmark ruling that struck down the GOP-led legislature’s gerrymander. The decision means the court-ordered, fairer map — which gives Democratic and independent voters a meaningful chance at representation — remains on track for the 2026 elections.

Commander of the 414th Brigade Andriy “Klima” Klymenko has been awarded the title Hero of Ukraine, and Magyar’s Birds received their Battle Flag. A strong recognition of frontline leadership and drone excellence.

Donald Trump with no proof of a stolen election incited thousands of his followers to attack the US Capitol. The pipe bomber arrest is a reminder shit could have turned out much worse.

The Hepatitis B vaccine was expected to prevent 9.5 million infections, 2.4 million chronic cases, and save 600,000 lives in the US by 2050. The federal vaccine committee has blood on their hands.

Bongino saying the quiet--and cynical--part out loud. In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that. What a confession.

Trump is mad one person stepped out of line on Fox and told the truth.

"'Not a lot of Democrats have been willing to talk every day about what will happen if your state legislature isn’t permitted to protect your kids from AI or protect your job from AI,' said Sen. Murphy." ICYMI @lauren-egan.bsky.social on Dems and AI: lnk.thebulwark.com/48Q7j6Z

NYT says the Opus Dei court is failing in its basic responsibility of insuring that the constitutional structure of the government is upheld and the laws are observed, and it is exhibiting complete contempt for the work of inferior courts that take this responsibility seriously

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

WOW! AN HONOR! — GCN

I think Democrats should offer voters a broadly defined anti-fraud platform. Yes, obviously, start with Trump’s influence peddling, but don’t stop there. Online fraud is massive, almost every phone call you get is a scam, and the solution has to be federal or it just won’t work.

Remember that moronic article in NYT talking about a massive flight of Manhattan millionaires to Florida? In fact, the opposite is happening. The Manhattan luxury apartment market is surging, while the luxury housing market in Florida is stagnant and floundering. fortune.com/2025/12/04/m...

The new National Security Strategy is a propaganda document, designed to be widely read. It is also a performative suicide. Hard to think of another great power ever abdicating its influence so quickly and so publicly. It will be worth following the reactions around the world, not just in Europe.

Trump: Impeached twice Led an insurrection against the US 34 times felon Adjudicated sex offender Stole top secret documents Epstein’s best friend Now, war crimes too

“FBI Director Kash Patel has — on more than one occasion — ordered that the security detail protecting his girlfriend escort one of her allegedly inebriated friends home after a night of partying in Nashville” www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

Today the Census Bureau released an updated estimate of the US immigrant population in 2024, and it shows that despite all the legal and illegal immigration under Biden, the immigrant share of the US population had grown at the slowest pace for any decade since the 1970s www.cato.org/blog/immigra...

The new US National Security Strategy reads better in either the original Russian via which it was dictated or the 1930s vintage German in which it was based. It makes Putin and Stephen Miller the architects of US foreign policy. The big loser? Our allies. The big winner? China.

New in PN: A war criminal without a war "We’re watching the flimsy justifications fall apart in real time. They can try to shift the blame. They can try to say that people clinging to wreckage for dear life are somehow an active threat. But in the end, it’s just murder."

So anyway, a reminder that the penalty for trafficking drugs is not being blown out of the water. And it's certainly not the penalty for being accused of something without evidence or due process.

I think everyone can stop debating if the U.S. government is controlled by fascists. It was apparent a while ago, but there’s should be no doubt now.

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released. “And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

Lower courts should simply continue to rule according to plain meaning of the Constitution. Ignore Scotus' twisted "interpretations" & so-called precedents. Scotus set the precedent for ignoring precedent. Force upon Scotus a backlog of overturning sound rulings & breaking oath every single time.
