A woman recently went viral for holding up a window sign during a traffic stop, part of a growing trend of drivers using cards to assert their rights instead of speaking to police.

Good night 🙏🌚💤

This is one of those why!? moments. The Trump administration abruptly halted an FDA effort that was designed to keep asbestos out of talc-based cosmetics.

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.

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

Assuming every boat Trump and Hegseth blew up contained the amount of drugs they claim, Hernandez was responsible for bringing more drugs into the US than every one of them had combined. By far. And yet, Trump murders 80+ people and counting while pardoning the narco kingpin.

WOLFERS: “When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.” #MedicareForAllNOW

"In any decently run republic, Congress would impeach and convict this cognitively-degraded narcissistic sociopath, who is blatantly using the presidency to enrich himself and his family to the tune of billions, among other offenses to propriety, law, and general sanity."

RELEASE THE UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES NOW

Says the guy who auto-penned nearly 1600 pardons for January 6

He’s going to fight drug trafficking by pardoning them? Trump announced “a Full and Complete Pardon” for former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, who was found guilty by an American jury last year of conspiring to import cocaine into the US.

🤬🇺🇸 The US is preparing to recognise Russia’s control of Crimea and other occupied Ukrainian regions as part of Trump’s proposed peace deal, - The Telegraph Trump has sent Witkoff and Kushner to Moscow to deliver the offer directly to Putin. Ukraine would not be required to recognise these losses.

Now only did White House pool reporters not stick up for their colleague who Trump repeatedly called “stupid” but you can hear them thanking Trump a few minutes later after he ended the Q&A. Sad stuff.

"If you look at job growth between January and September ... for the past 15 years, it's only been worse once, and that was during the pandemic ... It is the worst first nine months for the labor market in 15 years."

I would call Pete Hegseth a war criminal, but we aren’t at war. He’s just a mass murderer.

Cold blooded murder.

Gov Walz is saying what we’ve been saying. If the president is this erratic, then the public deserves to know what is going on. Four simple words: show the MRI results. If Trump is fine, prove it. If he isn’t, step aside.

"I co-wrote Trump's first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-2018. He's not trying to stop "left wing" terrorism. He is staging it. His troop deployments are a false flag – meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns. This is now very obvious." Miles Taylor

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all As two men clung to a stricken, burning ship targeted by SEAL Team 6, the Joint Special Operations commander followed the defense secretary’s order to leave no survivors. WAPO DOESN’T SOUND Like LEGAL ORDER?

Good night 🌙💤😴

We have ICE harassing American citizens with no reprisal and we have Trump blowing off court orders with no reprisal. We have no law enforcement at all. This is a free for all! This is intentional to create anarchy by republicans.

Politico on the rising number of Americans facing catastrophic medical insurance costs: "The Trump economy is not focusing on the root causes of why health care costs are so high in this country."

Worse yet, they say, it’s coming even before cuts to Medicaid in President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act take effect and the potential expiration of Obamacare subsidies at year’s end. The charities are warning of exploding medical debt and lower survival rates for diseases like…

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving — you are the Holler. We are grateful for all of you, especially those who chip in monthly to keep us going. Make it $10/month or more and get a holler hat! 🧢 —> tnholler.com/holler-hats/

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

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?

I wrote about billionaires and thanksgiving and Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/o...

Trump followed Putin’s advice and revoked the offer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. The leaked call comes just days after the U.S. presented a 28-point peace plan to end the war in Ukraine, largely reflecting Russian positions.

Dressing like a wanna be Hollywood starlet rather than an Ambassador- the outfit screams professionalism 😳

I guess it’s a good thing we were so concerned about the right to speak our opinions being outlawed by a ruling class that we guaranteed it by making it the very first amendment in our Bill of Rights when we formed the country.

Stay safe 😷 protect yourselves this holiday season.

“The Trump admin asked a federal appeals court Wednesday for an emergency order allowing the National Guard to remain in D.C., despite a ruling from a lower court last week that deemed the deployment unlawful.” www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Wanna see what a real traitor looks like? Here you go. Witkoff is advising Russia how to get they want at the expense of both the United States and Ukraine.
