Donald Trump said he’ll “be involved in” deciding if Netflix can buy Warner Bros. Is that an open invite for CEOs to curry favor with Trump in exchange for merger approvals? It should be an independent decision by the Department of Justice based on the law and facts.

The Supreme Court will ultimately decide whether to uphold the longstanding principle that grants citizenship to the children of non-citizens born in the U.S., following a legal challenge by the Trump administration. n.pr/48E1oko

Himes: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service ... any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

It’s just open white supremacy at this point.

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead. Idk, just spitballing here.

This will raise how much you pay to drive your car for the next ten years. Every time you fill up at the pump, the price should've been lower, but it won't be, because of this. Also more kids and elderly people will get sick from air pollution. Analysis: Seems bad. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/c...

If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation. Not intimidating or meant to curtail by my speech at all, right?

Courage in the streets. Capitulation among the elites.

Even the architect Trump hired to build his massive addition to the White House objects to the president's vision. The two have argued about the size of the 90,000-sq-foot project that would dwarf the mansion. @jonathanreports.bsky.social @ddiamond.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

I have said many times that the US is in more trouble than it realises. But oh my, this is terrifying. How many millions think the same way!!

Estimated FY2026 tariff revenue: $207 billion. Estimated FY2026 individual income tax revenue: $2.6 trillion.

Anything to please the corporate donors.

BREAKING: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the Trump administration would send hundreds of additional National Guard soldiers to the nation’s capital after two soldiers were shot in the city Wednesday.

The raid occurred in San Antonio, TX, where 150 people were arrested.

Newly released emails show the FBI spent almost $1 million in overtime analyzing the Epstein files as part of an effort dubbed the “Special Redaction Project."

The president of the United States is insane. Full stop.

And espionage. That data they exfiltrated went somewhere. cybernews.com/security/whi...

JD Vance and Peter Thiel are running a sustained operation out of the White House designed to acquire Greenland, either voluntarily or by force. Thiel has laid out plans for what he intends to do with the island nation in past writings. It doesn't entail the consent of the Greenlanders for anything.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand. The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

You could teach an entire suite of economics classes based solely on what’s happened at Twitter

13k comments on one tweet is a massive payout. All of the tweets follow a certain formula, so the content is likely automated using AI technology (e.g., AI generated images and text). Basically running it as a money printing machine. But for those in the US, it translates to low simmering rage.

Stephen Miller saw actual competent lawyers as a huge threat to his plans for authoritarian rule, and so he started removing them and replacing them with hacks and sock puppets who would give whatever advice he wanted. In this, he followed a precedent set down by Cheney in the Bush 43 presidency.

RFK Jr. wants you to know that he’s personally responsible for the anti-vax misinformation on the CDC's website

Mamdani walked in with an agenda. Trump walked out repeating it.

Marjorie Taylor Greene could have led the anti-Trump resistance but the mob boss got his way

In One Week, Trump Moves to Reshape U.S. Environmental Policy The Trump administration this week moved to weaken the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act, two bedrock laws, among other deregulatory moves. By @maxinejoselow.bsky.social

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

It gets lost in the shuffle, but the Speaker of the House is someone who, by all rights, should’ve had his career ended a decade ago by a Shreveport TV news investigative team.

White House has picked very pro-Trump pool reporters for Trump's Oval Office meeting with Mamdani on Friday: TV is Fox and Newsmax; Print is Washington Times and The Telegraph; New Media is Megyn Kelly. Exception is Radio: AURN (whose Black, female correspondent Trump called obnoxious in September)

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Yep, this actually did just happen. Rep Chrissy Houlahan recounts it on our pod:

This is what Elon Musk's trillion dollar payout looks like when annualized and compared to the total annual income of every EMT, school bus driver, nurse, teacher, cashier, and even CEOs. This is class war. And the oligarchs are winning. The time to organize is now.

Cruelty is the point.

A Democratic senator whom President Donald Trump said should be executed for sedition revealed that the attacks immediately triggered hundreds, if not thousands, of threats against her.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

Trump issues an order for the arrest and criminal prosecution of members of Congress who made a video reminding soldiers and sailors that they swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States and shouldn't implement illegal orders. Trump's conduct is unabashed fascism.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

It’s an explicit propaganda network. In case someone needed any more evidence.
