You'll be shocked to learn that Trump and his buddies are using The "Trump" Kennedy Center to loot, grift, and hand out money to pals, just like he did with his charity and inaugurations. Well probably not shocked. Sheldon Whitehouse is working to expose this. www.rawstory.com/investigatio...

Happy New Year! May the odds be ever in your favor...

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

This is the news organization that said "no" to the 60 Minutes report on the failures of ICE and their illegal activities deporting people to foreign prisons so I don't think @cbsnews.com is working at all to earn our trust.

Trump married two immigrants. Trump's mother was an immigrant. Rubio's parents are from Cuba. Vance's in-laws are from India. WTF is their problem with immigrants? I truly don't understand their loathing of their own people.

Again, the man who’s next in line for the presidency after this walking corpse has said he’s deeply influenced by this outright Nazi, so maybe we could get a little more attention on that?

Mamdani‘s been mayor for a day. Already I have a terrible headache, my apartment is a mess, my kids are estranged from me, and I feel increasingly alienated from a cold and unfeeling society that doesn’t recognize how right I am about everything. I told you so. —Today in the @nytimes.com

Stephen Miller's argument that the U.S. shouldn't take immigrants from "failed societies" overlooks the fact that the failure of other societies is what drives people to seek a better life here. It's what Miller's own ancestors did.

This is the kind of great work that @boltsmag.org does. Follow them. Support them. You can’t fight for power if you don’t understand where it sits. Include Bolts in your citizenship toolkit.

Happy New Year! 🎉 Walking into 2026 like Victor Laszlo ... 🗃️ #HATM www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOli...

Never forget that Trump said his daughter Ivanka made him promise not to date girls younger than her. She was 17 at the time. He was in his 50s. Release the Epstein files – all of them.

NEWS: Elias Law Group is pleased to announce that Jon Berkon has assumed the role of Political Law Chair. "As we head into a crucial election year, the Political Law Group is laser-focused on helping Democrats win, citizens vote, and progressives make change," said Berkon. elias.law/newsroom/pre...

As yes. John Roberts, who gave Trump immunity for ALL official acts, opens his year end summary with musings about Thomas Paine, an "immigrant" who arrived about 250 years ago (one of the good kinds as per rightwing voices like JD Vance – white and European, not enslaved and black.) bit.ly/3Yko0Sc

Not Somali.

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.
