CARTOON OF THE DAY

The brutality. The corruption. The lies. Everything is on full display — and many Americans are beginning to learn an important lesson. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/a01JFFB_aE4

Trump pardoned the ex-president of Honduras who shoveled hundreds of tons of cocaine into the U.S. He pardoned the founder of a black market who imported fentanyl from China. These men poisoned America & killed millions. Whatever Trump’s illegal boat strikes are about, it sure isn’t drugs.

Under Trump, the NIH is giving fewer grants to fewer scientists. The grants awarded are smaller and scientists have less time to spend them. Projects in cancer, diabetes, aging, neurological disorder, and more are going unfunded. “Make America Healthy Again.”

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.

Trump has *added* more illegal immigrants than he’s deported. Let me prove it to you.

When billionaires wanted tax breaks, Republicans rushed back to DC. When working families face a health care crisis, Republicans drag their feet. Time and time again, Republicans show us who they’re REALLY working for, and it’s certainly not the American people.

5 years ago today, @captmarkkelly.bsky.social sworn in asAZ Senator. He continues to shine and lead the way!

To my new political party: This is the kind of voice necessary to win nationally. Responsible, serious, tough, moderate, decent, understood by regular folks, centrist, take no bullshit, a life of service. Thank you @captmarkkelly.bsky.social.👇

This is a must read. The most in depth understanding of how corrupt our foreign policy has become. Trump and Witkoff (Rubio totally sidelined) are proposing to sell out Ukraine in exchange for Russian deals for their billionaire crowd. Not about peace. Just about profit.

NEWS: My bipartisan bill with Sen. Murkowski to support people with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders and their families, the FASD Respect Act, was just signed into law. Grateful for the tireless leadership of former MN First Lady Susan Shepard Carlson, who helped make this happen.

“Europe must now fight to save Ukraine and itself as bravely as Ukraine has been fighting to save itself and Europe for a decade. The resources are there, but the courage is not. STOP pretending Trump will ever turn on Putin and face reality and fight.” - Garry Kasparov

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

And he spends his time pardoning a private equity executive who went to jail for defrauding people.

Pete Hegseth should’ve been fired a long time ago

What Sen Kelly says here is pretty much what was being said by the general and admirals he summoned to Quantico after his juvenile speech.

Killing people who are marooned on a shipwreck is so obviously illegal it's one of the super obvious cases that the Department of Defense actually uses as a textbook example in it's on procedural manual. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuGk...

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now. Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers. Shameful.

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*

Walz on calling for Trump to release MRI results: "Here we got a guy on Thanksgiving where we spent time with our families, ate, played Yahtzee. This guy is apparently in a room ranting. It's not normal behavior. It's not healthy. Has anyone in history ever had an MRI & had no idea what it was for?"

www.politico.com/news/2025/11... Trump's normalized this type of hateful behavior and this type of language. And mainly, look, at first, I think it’s just because he’s not a good human being, but secondly to distract from his incompetency

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

Amazon workers go on strike world-wide. “From Germany to Bangladesh, thousands of workers walked off the job on Friday and marched against Amazon’s labor practices to push for better wages, working conditions, and union protections." www.commondreams.org/news/make-am...

apnews.com/projects/tru... The most litigious President ever

"We blow up ‘alleged’ drug boats in the Caribbean but pardon actually convicted drug traffickers in the U.S. Someone help me make sense of this.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/w...

This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

Trump said today he'll be pardoning former Honduran President Juan Hernandez, who was convicted of drug trafficking and weapons charges in 2024 and sentenced to 45 years in prison. Waging a drug war on Venezuela while pardoning a narco-terrorist takes hypocrisy to a level once thought impossible.

Felon47 said he will pardon a former Honduran president sentenced to 45 years in prison on drug and gun charges, a clemency move that comes as Trump regularly speaks about the need to crack down on illegal narcotics. Crooks flock together. Pure corruption. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

This is so tragic and unnecessary. My prayers go out to her family and loved ones.

🧵 Lowe's CEO, one of 8 Black Fortune 500 CEOs, stands firm on DEI. "Championing Diversity Through Action: Ellison’s approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is rooted in practical change rather than public statements" Home Depot, meanwhile, allows ICE agents to raid its parking lots.

This would be a war crime even if there were an actual war and these people were actual combatants, which there isn't and they weren't. It's unquestionably an unlawful homicide under any form of law you wish to apply: military or civilian, domestic or international, federal or state. ...

Reuters has done some really great investigative reporting on the impacts of Trump's retribution campaigns

It’d be funny if this were in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?

Don't fall for it. Trump has been waiting for an excuse for a military dictatorship. It took only a few hours for President Donald Trump to turn what he called “an act of evil, and an act of terror” into a full-blown argument for an even more intense crackdown on immigration.
