What a year for Democrats 2025 Cory Booker made history on the Senate floor in spring 2025 with a record breaking speech protesting Trump administration's policies. And short meaningful forceful follow-up all it proved was there is a Democrat that go without peeing for 25hrs youtu.be/niMDRco8YS8?...

When John Doar was head of the Civil Rights Division, he quoted from Shakespeare’s RICHARD III in an eloquent closing argument in the case against Klan murderers. The current head is calling podcasters “hoes” for criticizing the president’s cabinet

Fuck Trump and every one of the fascist fucks enabling him.

"the state shows that 6 companies in 2024 exceeded the wastewater discharge limits and/or did not meet requirements for monitoring. Ben & Jerry’s Waterbury ice cream plant topped that list with 130 violations." Sure ,but how about their foreign policy stance? vtdigger.org/2025/12/28/b...

Happy 14th anniversary to this youtube video

MAGA: I voted for this! $400 million ballroom. Triumphal arch. Qatari jet. Renaming an arts center. Foreign crypto deals. Blowing up boats. Saudi golf resorts. High tariffs on goods. Record deficits. Epstein cover up. Pardons for drug traffickers and rich fraudsters.

This fed. judge was confirmation last year 53-44. when Sen. Welch (D-VT) became the first Democrat to vote alongside Republican senators on a judicial nominee this congress, confirming Dudek to a lifetime federal judgeship. abcnews.go.com/Politics/wir...

Donald Trump gave an 18 minute address to the nation last night, in which he lied, on average, every 22 seconds.

here's today's post: "we need to talk about how completely crazypants all this shit is" — none of it is normal. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

Murphy: "This isn't shocking, bc over last year, Trump has been engaged in a dizzying campaign to increase violence in this country. He's restoring gun rights to felons, eliminated the WH office of gun violence prevention & stopped funding mental health grants & community anti-gun violence grants"

The first reporter to speak up, interrupt, and call Trump out to his face while he is berating, insulting and personally attacking another female reporter for no reason will be a national hero. You may lose access, but you will be a legend forever. At some point, someone has to.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

So: 1) There was never a "fight" to begin with 2) There aren't any visible drugs (not that it would matter if there were) 3) They watched two clearly helpless people try not to drown in the ocean for 41 minutes, not "staying in the fight" 4) Then they killed them This is straight up murder.

Only 318 days in office Trump & Florida got his concentration camp up and running. “Alligator Alcatraz” “overflowing toilets, fecal matter seeping to where people are sleeping, limited access to showers, exposure to insects,poor quality food and water" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Birdwatching licenses! Vermont Fish & Wildlife charge kayakers & birdwatchers fees for public recreation areas? “A warden will be able to stop someone recreating and say 'Could I see your conservation license?’ I think that’s the end goal and vision,” www.wcax.com/2025/12/03/v...

Good lord what the fuck did they expect? It's Trump's second clown show - bozo had a track record!

Then: All the President's men “The truth is these are not very bright guys,and things got out of hand” Now: All of the Trump's men FBI director, Kash Patel “in over his head”leading a “chronically under-performing” agency paralyzed by fear and plummeting morale, www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

They're not even bothering to disguise their real aims any longer.

Elon Musk and the Trump administration gleefully shutting down USAID “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.” People throw around terms like genocide quite freely online but it’s hard to find other words to describe this level of man-made death.

And Donnie's granddad Herr Friedrich Drumpf was of course on the Mayflower when it landed at Tampa Bay

Bolsonaro is what happens when six Supreme Court justices aren't co-conspirators.

No contract, no coffee. We don’t believe in sitting on the sidelines. Join our Transition co-chair @linamkhan.bsky.social , First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan & @sbworkersunited.org at the picket lines.

This is exactly what you do With presidents who coup

They’re already finding common ground on the big questions after only one meeting!

Who could have predicted?

VT to pay $2.3 million over a five-year term to rent three privately owned office spaces in the Pilgrim Park complex. And Pilgrim Park I believe is owned by Gov' Scott's best friend & former business partner vtdigger.org/2025/11/19/s...

WHO to lose 2,371 posts- as it deals with the Trump withdrawal support in January. At that point the WHO had 9,401 staff members. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

I hope every crowd that ever gets near him shouts this

Headline of the day: "Trump and Mr Bone Saw stage love-in as Saudi’s $1tn wipes the bloody slate clean" Trump criticised the murdered columnist, whom he said “many people didn’t like” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

There has never been a clearer example of the fact that we do not have a legislature in the United States right now. Trump tells them to vote no, so they all vote no. Then Trump changes his mind and they all change their votes. That is autocracy. Vote them out!

Jon Ossoff’s Republican opponents have suddenly changed their minds, proving yet again this is just a cult where elected Republicans serve one constituent.

Throwback: Chuck Schumer - ineffective against Trump since 2017 www.npr.org/2017/01/06/5...

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.

"President Donald Trump’s federal law enforcement crackdown has hit a disgusting new low, after federal agents reportedly pepper-sprayed a 1-year-old in Chicago and then lied about it."

"By cutting and freezing public health funds, in particular, the Trump administration has already begun to undercut efforts to provide medical care, outbreak response, housing assistance, and research across the U.S" kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Some of you folks, bless your hearts, are being way too lenient on Mr. Schumer. I get that some of you don't like attacking Democrats. I sympathize. I don't like doing it, either. But this is twice this year that Mr. Schumer has dropped the ball in a position of critical importance. No excuses.

“Yes and yes,” the House minority leader told reporters when asked if Schumer was effective and should keep his job. The Speaker really can dish out some first class bullshit when called upon www.politico.com/live-updates...

fresh off caving, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is going on Fox & Friends

turns out it wasnt "just manchin and sinema" (it never was)

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

-Oct 18, more than 7 million Americans stand up and stand together. -Nov 4, millions of Dems turn out for landslide wins in VA, NJ, NY, CA, GA, many other places. -Nov 9, eight "Dems" say "Oh, this nice Mike Johnson and Mr. Trump say they care about health. If they don't, well shame on them..."

I can’t support this bill. It doesn’t meet the urgency of the moment and deliver actual relief that can pass both chambers of Congress. I’ve been clear that we need real action to stop the devastating health care cost increases that are hurting millions of families. 1/2

Simple question: WHAT THE FUCK DEMOCRATS,really WHAT THE FUCK??

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Virginia’s new corporate Dem Governor says she won’t support attempts to repeal “right-to-work” in the state! www.wric.com/news/virgini...

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO, WHAT THE HELL WAS THE POINT OF THE SHUTDOWN @schumer.senate.gov A "PROMISE OF A VOTE ON HEALTHCARE" MEANS THAT PEOPLE WILL LOSE THEIR HEALTHCARE

Schumer and the Dems are about to teach Trump the lesson that they’ll cave whenever he abuses power to sufficiently hurt people.
