They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Welp.

Agree with this thread. Worth reading in full. 25 years ago John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and AC Barrett all worked on GWBush's 2000 Florida recount team. What they're doing now is, if anything, more nakedly partisan. Fire-breathing dissent by Kagan, with Sotomayor and Jackson.

The GOP may face a tough road heading into the 2026 midterms, but as one expert on voting rights points out, the fight is far from over.

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The WSJ confirms that in the leadup to Pete Hegseth's serial war crimes in the Caribbean, he made clear to commanders that our military code *was not to be followed*—no questions were to be asked of any orders. It led to the resignation of the top commander in the Caribbean.

Tom Cotton is a horrible, horrible person. A couple years ago I wrote this piece for my Stop the Presses newsletter, recalling how he called slavery a "necessary evil" and blocked the confirmation of an Obama appointee until she died of leukemia.

Mission accomplished by the Ellisons

If you want to know about the charges against Congressman Cuellar, the Democrat Trump just pardoned, here's my breakdown from when the case was indicted. Trump's abuse of the pardon power is so destructive to the rule of law, in so many ways. www.sidebarsblog.com/p/unpacking-...

It's time to end DEI and bring back the meritocracy.

Next up: Add lead back to gasoline, so kids can get brain damage, along with measles and polio, again. MAHA.

Mike Johnson is set to swear in Republican Matt Van Epps about 36 hours after he won his election. It took Johnson 50 days to swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

“Elon Musk’s charitable foundation grew larger than ever in 2024. But, for the fourth year in a row, the huge charity failed to give away the minimum amount required by law — and the donations it did make went largely to charities closely tied to Mr. Musk himself.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

NEWS: The Institute of Museum & Library Services has restored ALL previously canceled federal grants to libraries, following a ruling by a federal judge in Rhode Island last month. This is a massive win for libraries & communities in every state & territory! Learn more: www.ala.org/news/2025/12...

Oh no, that's really terrible news. If you like soul music at all, you've loved something that Steve Cropper was intimately involved in at Stax

Oh, THAT’s why Trump likes sovereign wealth funds. My latest. newrepublic.com/article/2038...

Really appreciate the clarity of the president saying black people are ruining the country and this entire room of groveling empty suits saying nothing bsky.app/profile/just...

That’s right — two thirds of the entire population of America was saved by the president’s brave war crimes. But did they even say thank you?

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Democrats can't hold official committee hearings, but they absolutely can gather in a room and invite people to answer questions and stream it live and invite the press to cover it.

no floor or ceiling?

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it? Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean. He served for 37 years.

"Kushner is continuing to collect these fees as he serves in a top foreign policy role for the Trump administration. This is precisely the kind of behavior the Foreign Emoluments Clause was designed to prevent."

SORKIN: Is it appropriate for Trump to ask Larry Ellison to make a new Rush Hour film? BESSENT: I don't know. The Obamas contract with Netflix, is that appropriate? SORKIN: My understanding is that came after he was president. That's the distinction

BESSENT: Affordability is worse in blue states SORKIN: The JEC says highest inflation over past 4 years has been in red states, especially Florida B: I'm talking about current S: Not over the past 4 years? B: Today S: Ok. I would say 4 years would be a reasonable trend line to look at

Deplorable.

The Trump administration has fired, or tried to fire, many of the federal staff who manage and enforce federal disability law in schools. n.pr/48udkF5

Wow. "It gives me no pleasure to say what I’m about to say because I worked with Pete Hegseth for seven or eight years at Fox News. This is an act of a war crime .... There’s absolutely no legal basis for it.” - Newsmax's Judge Napolitano

Updating - total reported turnout in the TN7 special is now 168k, or 93% of the total votes cast in the November, 2022 midterm general election, a race the GOP won by 22 pts. The GOP has some serious issues right now.

The Dem (Behn) will fall short in the TN7 special, but what happened was a double digit margin swing from last year. GOPs try to explain these special elections away by saying they are just low turnout and their voters will come out next November. That's not true here...

Bad news for Hegseth, it turns out the Pentagon is a big bureaucracy filled with people who got there because they know how to fight bureaucratic battles and they will wait for you to lie about something then leak details about it. Who knew?

🙄

Trump’s whole strategy is to be so outrageous on multiple fronts—racism, corruption, misogyny, nativism, plutocracy, greed, authoritarianism, etc.—that it’s nearly impossible to keep a focus on any individual outrage or maintain a high level of indignation and concern. It’s deliberate bludgeoning.

George Will: "Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement. ... The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself" www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I can't get over the fact that they scheduled a televised Cabinet meeting, hyped it as a major event, planned it all out to show how active and in control Trump is ... and then he dozed off in the middle of it. Repeatedly.

Apparently every Chinese academic in any field of “interest” to the PLA is getting their visa rejected for, more or less, presumptively being a spy. My friend’s visa is denied because she studies “neuroscience.” What she actually studies is jaw pain - but ICE is flatly rejecting all appeals.

@mluckovich.bsky.social captured it perfectly.

He really is becoming one droopy-ass old man. Maybe the droopiest old man going.

💯

He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”

What a disgrace

Populism, MAGA-Style
