GOP Rep. Mike Turner: "This activity that's happening in the Caribbean where they are hitting these boats -- these individuals if they were captured and tried and convicted, they would be guilty of criminal activity for which they're not subject to capital punishment. These people are being killed."

Without evidence, Prasad claimed COVID-19 vaccines have killed 10 children in the US, and announced unilateral, sweeping changes to the way the agency regulates and approves vaccines, including seasonal flu shots. A dozen former FDA chiefs say that's deeply stupid. arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

SCOTUS: "The Texas maps were drawn for political—not racism—goals." NARRATOR: "And Texas used racism to achieve those political goals."

omg

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

War crimes on request to feed the bloodthirsty MAGA mob.

“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.” Sen. Rand Paul

They just don't seem to do numbers or facts very well...

In January, as a podcaster, Dan Bongino called the J6 pipe bomber case an "inside job" by the FBI. Today, as deputy director of the FBI, Bongino announced the arrest of the suspect without any mention of "inside job" w/ @dell.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/fbi-sa...

Hilarious. Any of us that have cared for someone and have witnessed this know what's happening here.

A new study found nearly 1 in 10 young adults with non-metastatic cancer later develop metastatic recurrence. Researchers analyzed more than 48,000 patients, revealing the urgent need for tailored survivorship care. @ucdaviscancer.bsky.social health.ucdavis.edu/news/headlin...

The Democratic Party has a deep bench of fresh talent. It also has bleachers of hard-working but complacent Old Guard, who can’t get their heads around the fact it’s not 1995 anymore. It’s still a party of decency, but I’m SO angry; all this we’re experiencing now could have been stopped.

Himes: "What worries me is what causes a man of real integrity & w/ a storied professional history like the admiral to order this strike? My guess is it has something to do w/ the secretary of defense who writes a book about how we need a lot less ethics and lawyers involved & a lot more lethality."

Well done! A Massachusetts church displayed an “ICE was here” sign in its Nativity scene.

Pastor Black: While I was in the middle of using the words of Jesus, they opened fire on me. It was so clear that they had been so poorly trained, or — the alternative — that they had been deliberately told to escalate violence against peaceful protesters.

We are witnessing his brain liquifying in real time.

Newsom kills it with his trolling.

842,000 Americans died from overdoses in the last 25 years, 500,000 from opioids. If we’re hunting narco-terrorists we can probably stop blowing up fishing boats and start blowing up boardrooms.

REP. HIMES: “The video was enormously disturbing… the example given in the DOD manual is of shipwrecked sailors. You do not kill them.”

BREAKING: A grand jury declined to indict Letitia James after being asked to look at the mortgage fraud case against her a second time, 10 days after a federal judge threw out the initial charges against her.

If the Supreme Court makes you mad keep in mind that within the last week Democratic senators have been voting for GOP judges to get on the federal bench

Anyway, if you're surprised at all about the SCOTUS decision, remember - Bush v Gore chose the president on such nakedly partisan grounds they put in the opinion that it couldn't be used as future precedent - Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito & Barrett all served on W's election legal team

We are so far off the playing field here we can't even see the stadium.

Ain't it the truth?

CARTOON OF THE DAY

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.

The White House has launched a webpage to report "media bias" tips. It would be a pity if it were flooded with tips about every show on Fox News. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

I was told by a reporter in October that the White House was looking to prosecute me because I stood against their inhumane agenda. Days later, they did exactly that. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

If anyone cares at all, EV battery recycling is now hitting 99% recovery for important metals Please remind me again what the recycle rate for fossil fuels is interestingengineering.com/energy/recyc...

All three branches of the federal government’s relationship with American citizens is basically a hostage situation

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

"There's just no way to get away from the fact that the United States killed two individuals who were shipwrecked and in massive distress." Rep. Jim Himes cuts through the excuses about the second strike on the survivors of a boat blown up by the U.S.

#GVerse #Veterans US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.

He commits crimes against humanity to stop “drug traffickers” while pardoning a notorious drug trafficker. He attacks veterans while committing treason. Make it stop.

🚨 NEW: One of the largest COVID-19 vaccine studies ever (28 MILLION people in France) just dropped. Results? • 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19 • 25% lower risk of all-cause mortality • No increase in 4-year mortality #BlueSky #MedSky #IDSky #SciSky #NewsSky #PedsSky #ObSky #NurseSky

I'll say this in response to SCOTUS' corrupt TX ruling: Dems in Maryland, Oregon, Illinois, Colorado, New York, and New Jersey are all stuck in the mud when it comes to mid-decade redistricting. The time to act was yesterday. Move your asses, now.

The Secretary of Defense taking extrajudicial killing requests from podcast hosts

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.

The windchill here is -4 degrees and I’m waiting for the bus. As I blink through the ice shards blowing into my eyeballs at 30 mph, I think about how glad I am they took the bus shelter down. At least the unhoused will have cause to reflect on how little they contributed to the economy.

Rep. Crockett’s Statement on the Supreme Court’s Ruling on Texas’s 2026 Map

Recession looming—U.S. job cuts reach -1.17 million this year, most since 2020.

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

Why are the richest people the biggest heartless dicks to the people in desperate circumstances? You will have to face your creator someday who clearly said “what you do to the least of these you do to me” I used to like Phil. Saudi sellout
