The last thing I wrote last year was about change and how people often fail to recognize that change is a constant instead of an aberration. www.pbump.net/o/the-more-t...

Great for morale how another round of completely damning legal records comes out, no one faces any consequences, we see again how fully congress has abdicated all of its responsibilities, Roberts has picked his man, and that's that

Name a non-LotR character who could resist the One Ring

Oh, no! Another beloved actor from ‘The Wire’ has passed away. Isiah Whitlock Jr. who was also known for ‘Veep’ and many Spike Lee movies passed away after a short illness. He was 71. 💔

Ha! 🤣🤣 I’m STILL not going to see anyone perform at the Kennedy Center as long as the asshole’s name is on the building.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be… Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

The independently owned Aspen Daily News is acquired by private equity — but there are reasons to be more optimistic than such an outcome usually portends. www.aspenpublicradio.org/community/20...

I can’t imagine why Trump, Bondi, Patel and Mike Johnson have fought so hard to cover up the Epstein files.

Trump has harsher words for the Governor of Colorado than he does Vladimir Putin. That is because Donald and his idiotic family have been owned by the Russian mob for decades and YES they know ALL about his sordid history with Jeffrey Epstein. Stop him in 2026, USA.

For most of our history, if you called the president a felon and a sex predator, you’d be making wild, unfair accusations. Now, you’re just repeating facts that were confirmed in court.

Ironic that a nation founded by a declaration which stated: "We hold these truths to be self-evident.." is routinely lied to by its administration and whose citizens largely can't or won't recognise them as lies even when contradicted by overwhelming evidence.

The orange felon says he’s removing National Guard from Portland, LA and Chicago because he claims it lowered crime. The reality is that the Supreme Court forced him to remove the National Guard as he was illegally using troops to terrorize Americans cities that he hates.

I won't lie, this was a tough year for democracy. But we enter 2026 with hope and optimism for the year ahead. I wish you all a happy and healthy new year.

Every Republican or supporter should be angered because of the bipartisan agreement to protect the Miccosukee Tribal communities was passed only for that son of a b*tch to vetoed the bill! I REALLY REALLY HATE TRUMP!!!

America, how long? How long are we going to tolerate an insane leader, a compromised Congress and a corrupt Supreme Court? How long?

Smith: I think who should be accountable for this is Donald Trump. These records exist because, in the case of the senators, Donald Trump directed his co-conspirators to call these people to further delay the proceedings. He chose to do that.

What are we doing?

Half way through the Jack Smith transcript and it’s become abundantly clear why Jim Jordan didn’t want public testimony. Jordan spends a lot of time whining about the toll subpoenas, and Jack Smith shuts him down every time.

The President of the United States is a criminal. Thank you for your service, Jack Smith.

Confirmed: ICE Is Arresting American Citizens—and Lying About It A government that flouts the Fourth Amendment and then lies about it to courts and the people has crossed a moral and legal frontier. newrepublic.com/article/2026...

President Trump's claims that Colorado's elections are rigged force Republicans like Rep Gabe Evans into a tough choice:   1) Embrace the false claim and alienate swing voters 2) Reject the false claim and anger Trump/MAGA base 3) Avoid any media outlet/forum that will ask

My nomination for Meme of the Year.

Trump Translation: I am complying (maybe) with legal orders and threatening to break them again next week.

No president should engage in a military invasion of any peaceful US city. But Trump tried hard. And in Chicago, his troops engaged in an invasion of an apartment building where they broke down doors without judicial warrants. And arrested no one for any criminal activity. Depraved actions.

When the war ends, Russia leaves Ukraine (Putin will die eventually), and the Trump regime ends.... ...Zelenskyy truly deserves global recognition for leading the fight against authoritarianism, traditionalism, and fascism. It's worthwhile to watch Zelenskyy's reactions. Telling. ...

Hasn't he openly stated that he is interested in all of Ukraine - that constitutes a peace deal for Putin?

i do find it a fascinating assumption rightwingers are making that they should be able to walk into any daycare center and observe random peoples children whenever they want

He has always been the author of his own legend, and too much of the media for decades have helped him launder those fictions.

The United States is a lot stronger than Venezuela, leaving Venezuela few options to impose costs on America in response to the escalating US military campaign. The Maduro regime already detained Americans and tried to use them as leverage, which has reportedly accelerated, and could grow more.

None of this is normal, nor is it appropriate in a democracy. This is what we see in authoritarian regimes with no regard for due process or the rule of law.

The entire reason they’re locked is to prevent weird freaks like this who have no right to be there from marching in and endangering the kids.

From Jack Smith's intro... "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power." Anyone who witnessed 1/6/21 saw this.

BREAKING: The House Judiciary Committee has released Jack Smith's 255-page deposition transcript: judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Pretty sad times we live in when it’s news that the government has agreed to follow a court order.

Meaningless destruction. Just disgraceful all around.

2020: Trump Interior Secretary praises Trump “fulfilling the vision” of Colorado’s Ark Valley clean water project, saying Trump “has delivered for the people of the West by putting the West’s most precious resource first” 2025: Trump vetoes the project’s unanimous funding bill

It has been The Onion's best year since we broke Watergate and subsequently, personally had Richard Nixon removed from office. I'm going to share some personal favorite stories in this thread. Please add your own, and visit the Our Annual Year recap below. theonion.com/our-annual-y...

The federal healthcare plan should be open to all Americans. It's a really good plan and small business owners and independent contractors deserve the same great plan.

Would have thought the obvious issue is the ghoul lurking in the Kremlin’s bunker, sending drones and cruise missiles to kill kids; Putin.

unvarnished gutter racism and Nazism from the president. a disgrace to our country.

MAHA is a fight against chronic disease by using infectious diseases to kill us off before chronic diseases have time to develop.

Utterly corrupt to change the rules to favor authoritarianism.
