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

Liver cancer prevention in children. That is what RFK Jr trying to "scale back on" today. He is a monster.

Gavin Newsom lit into an audience full of financial power brokers today, criticizing what he cast as their complicity with Trump’s agenda. He told attendees of the New York Times DealBook Summit that they should look into the kneepads he’s selling, in parody, to those “groveling to Trump’s needs.”

For today's newsletter, I reviewed a recent profile/obit published in Glasnaya Media recalling the life and career of human rights lawyer Elena Liptser. Neither her exiled father, Lev Ponomaryov, nor her imprisoned son, Alexey, could attend Elena's funeral this fall. meduza.io/en/brief/202...

🔹 2000s — Promise: Fight corruption, modernize economy. Reality: Systemic kleptocracy, oligarchic capture, capital flight, record inequality. (Transparency International, World Bank.)

🔹 1991 — Promise: Russia will become a peaceful democratic state, integrated with Europe. Reality: Chechnya wars, authoritarian consolidation, assassination of journalists, suppression of media. (Documented by Human Rights Watch, Anna Politkovskaya.)

Sean Duffy articulates with clarity what America's golden age will look like: you will drive a Ford station wagon that guzzles gasoline, pollutes the environment, and will kill you dead if you get into an accident... and you will love it.

it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.

The USA has betrayed all of Europe. bsky.app/profile/beef...

America has already betrayed Ukraine.

Dear Pete, Donald, MAGA etc: “What will it profit a man if he gains the world and loses his soul” We are selling out our nation, our future, our morality, for the ego and wealth of a 79 year old man.

Rural America trusted Trump to bring prosperity. Instead they got tariffs, labor shortages, shuttered hospitals, frozen energy projects, and falling crop prices. His support in GOP strongholds appears to be collapsing. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Key Largo, Florida: Trump’s lawless gang of masked thugs dragging a U.S. citizen, dressed in scrubs, on her way to work, out of her car.

Where does this stop? #Pinks

Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

When looking at the negotiations on Ukraine between the US and Russia, it’s hard to tell which side made a proposal, as they seem almost fully aligned. The Trump administration has far more in common with Putin’s regime than with Europe. It’s really sad to watch

⚔️Support Ukrainian Defender Passport!⚔️ Right now the Ukrainian defenders are the best & only effective bulwark against the spreading cancer of russian barbarism, fascism & revanchist imperialism!🦾 Help them hold the line & stop the scum from metastasizing across Europe!🛡️ Chip in if you can & Share!♻️

This, AND Europeans get free healthcare? No wonder they're laughing at us. Consumer discretionary earnings growth is expected to be stronger in Europe, EMs, and Canada, while U.S. falls behind in 2026 #EconSky

🇩🇪Merz said that Zelenskyy must be "extremely careful in the coming days." “They’re playing games, both with you and with us,” he said. 🇫🇮Stubb also warned against the negotiating duo. "We must not leave Ukraine and Volodymyr alone with these guys," he said.

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.

The German magazine Spiegel obtained information showing the deep distrust the French, German and Finnish governments have in regards to the current US administration when it comes to the Ukraine policy.

"Does this feel like or look like a well-run competent administration? It took them 10 months to discover that the United States doesn't grow bananas and that therefore if we tariff bananas that that's not going to bring banana factories on shore."

Republican women in the house accusing trumps handpicked speaker of …. Sexism www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

There is no clearer justification for the video put out by 6 Democrats to not follow unlawful orders than this.

Real wages (after inflation) were growing at 2.0% last year. Now it’s 0.8% — “clearly playing into what the majority of American households would define as an affordability crisis.” @joebrusuelas.bsky.social

EVERCORE: Despite questions about how long RFK Jr. might last, “he has learned how to operate in this Admin and is now well-entrenched .. Additionally, he brings an independent base of political support that Trump is keen to retain. When it comes to .. vaccines, he’s just getting started ..”

Pete, facing random boats: GET SOME, DRUG DEALERS! AMERICA'S BACK! Pete facing Trans people: NO MORE PRONOUNS! PETE NO USE PRONOUNS! Pete, facing russia, an enemy of the US: So what if we sat down and had a nice dinner?

They do this so the West will continue the kabuki theater.

Mary Holland is a Harvard Russians studies major (you can actually study that or want to?) and lawyer. Exactly the person you want setting vaccine schedules.

BREAKING: WELL, WELL, WELL! Newly unearthed footage shows Pete Hegseth saying EXACTLY what the six Democrats said in their video that prompted Trump and Hegseth to hysterically smear them as traitors! You must refuse illegal orders.

NEW EPISODE: Democracy in America is facing a defining test. Eddie Glaude breaks down the one threat we must confront if we want the country to endure. We discuss political polarization, racial injustice, and how concentrated power has created a crisis point in the history of America.

TRUMP IS SCUM

This gangster government steals everyone’s property and doesn’t care about the laws respecting the rights of creators. Everything they see belongs to them like the greedy leeches on this country that they are.

Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.
