The first family corruption continues.

One other wild thing about that big NHS study: peopke who were already suffering from dementia who then got the shingles vaxx showed a measurable reduction in the progression of their symptoms afterwards. So *something* is definitely going on there related to viral load.

“.. If you want to live in the best country on the earth, that is also the safest, and the one that will actually respect your work and offer you the right environment to flourish, well, come to Canada,” she said. 🇨🇦 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/w...

The Ellison family’s desire to take over Warner Bros should alarm anyone concerned with U.S. propaganda & media consolidation— They would own Paramount, Warner Bros, CNN, CBS, HBO, TikTok & a host of major cable channels

BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight. Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall. This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.

Trump on Karoline Leavitt: "That beautiful face and those lips that don't stop like a little machine gun"

Eileen Higgins blows it out in Miami, wins 59%-40%!!!! In the last 2 years Dems have flipped Florida’s two largest cities, Jacksonville and Miami. Great work everyone! www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/eileen-hig...

Apparently Calibri is easier for people with vision issues to read. Because of course.

Folks might not know a lot of people are getting *very* upset that the materials they request are not available in the libraries/archives they're requesting from. We're getting lots here at the Library of Virginia: requests of documents likely surfaced by large language models that *do not exist*.

Faith leaders across Minnesota are coming together in solidarity with their Somali neighbors! Rev. Paul Graham with St. Ansgar’s Lutheran Church in Cannon delivered a #CupOfJoe w/ a message of #LoveThyNeighbor.

ICE trying to ORDER a church to REMOVE A NATIVITY SCENE is one of the most astonishing First Amendment violations I've seen in ever

ICE’s acting director ordered a Boston Catholic parish to tear down its Advent Nativity scene—stripped of baby Jesus and branded with the message “ICE WAS HERE.” The parish priest is refusing, citing he pope’s call to stand with migrants. It's another chapter in Kristi Noem's war on Christians.

We have lived through an era where assumptions replaced vigilance. Progress became a soft cushion. Rights felt permanent. Democracy collapses not when evil grows strong, but when good people grow quiet. theblackwallsttimes.com/2025/12/09/i...

There was not a single public comment in support of the CoreCivic internment camp. The commission is supposedly 3-2 against granting the special zoning permit, hopefully the wall of opposition locked that in.

Holy cow, @chrislhayes.bsky.social justice read this post live on air. Bluesky has got the juice.

No!

Irish Star: Congress is using the Pentagon’s travel budget as leverage to force Pete Hegseth into giving lawmakers unedited video of strikes that destroyed narco terrorist boats. This is murder, I hope Hegseth is held accountable. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Costco is out here trying to lower grocery prices for everyday Americans and somehow that’s a dealbreaker for the MAGA crowd. Imagine being so committed to chaos that cheaper food makes you mad. Peak clown economics 🤡 #TrumpInflationCrisis

Whattheeverlovingfuck?

Is there a grade lower than F? Asking for a friend.

We have to listen to bigoted handwringing about how we have to abandon trans people and marginalized communities and immigrants while the clearest election winning message is right there.

This is the most milquetoast, awkward, stilted comment on an issue that demands actual passion. The House Dems badly need a different front man. Maybe not a different minority leader - maybe he's great at managing the caucus and doing the other political work. But as a speaker this is terrible

This is INCREDIBLE and the end results of literal decades of work. Well fucking done!

My top paperbacks of the year advent for the 8th is @tkingfisher.com's A Sorceress Comes to Call. What do you do if your mother is controlling, self-centred... & a sorceress? Regency era with magic, murder, trauma, found family, GREAT characters all the way through. Loved it! #SFF #Fantasy 💙📚🪐

Jimmy Fallon would host the Hunger Games.

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks Hope Walz tells it like it is. Thank you for this and bless you and your beautiful family.

Trump has pardoned huge amounts of fraud and truly heinous crimes. In particular, he's pardoned more corrupt elected officials than any other President, and it's not particularly close. This President is a crook through and through.

The fact Bovino is a career civil servant and not a political appointee really shows CBP needs to be abolished root and branch. Let the IRS do customs (seriously).

The economy is FAR WORSE than the government is acknowledging. This holiday season, if you know folks struggling, don't be afraid to leave a mystery box of groceries or some gifts from Santa for the kids on their porch. Maybe drop a grocery store gift card in their mailbox. Be the Christmas magic.

All of these new rulings don’t just affect today, they rewrite precedent. Trump still has three years left, and whatever expanded powers the Court hands him now will automatically pass to the next president as well.

When Republicans have full control of Congress, their biggest priorities are repealing the ACA and giving huge tax breaks to the wealthiest people and corporations in our nation. So why would we ever expect them to fight for health care for hard-working Americans?

Vaccines based on mRNA can be tailored to target a cancer patient’s unique tumor mutations. But crumbling support for cancer and mRNA vaccine research has endangered this promising therapy. www.scientificamerican.com/article/pers...

lol. Calling their bluff. These aren’t part of the 300G of data the justice department has (and could have released anytime.) the deadline is 12/19. Tick tock, Pamela Jo.

An inspector general says Yemen strike plans moved from SECRET systems to Signal and into two unclassified chats—one that accidentally included a journalist and another that included Hegseth’s wife—constituting a documented breach that put U.S. troops at risk. open.substack.com/pub/theintel...

People are dying over who gets to steal from a dude in Iowa who thinks the model who "accidentally" texted him has fallen in love with him.

Not that we needed another reason to hate AI, but here it is anyway.

"The Road Not Taken"... a poplar grove (cultivated) near Andrew, AB. i captured this in the fall when most of the leaves had fallen but there were still leaves on the trees in the background and the soft late afternoon light was filtering through them #ArtAdventCalendar www.stevericketts.ca

I have lived long enough to watch Niecy Nash go from gently scolding people for being hoarders to calling Glenn Close out for wanting her studsband. That's a technological epoch right there.

Hilarious. Anyone with common sense knows a Trump pardon means nothing outside the U.S. Oops. 🚨 NEW: Honduran Authorities Issue Arrest Warrant for Ex-President Pardoned by Trump

Convicted felon, Donald Trump, who is currently under criminal indictment in Fulton County, GA is a loser who will lose again when the courts stop his illegal attempt to ban visas for Harvard students. It’s extortion, it’s restraint of trade, it’s discriminatory and it’s impeachable.

There is some information from medical people that indicates his symptoms are more likely mostly to be FTD, frontal lobe dementia, rather than primarily Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s is characterized by memory loss, FTD has much more behavioral issues from the frontal lobe.

A federal judge struck down Trump’s halt on approvals of all wind power projects on federal lands and waters.

This is HEARTBREAKING The damage trump is doing will be irreversible Trump approves opening 1.27 billion acres for coastal drilling Repeat 1.27 BILLION ACRES FOR COASTAL DRILLING!!! Please take a moment to listen to this and share (source @latimes.com )

I have a wish list for Christmas… RFKJ - salmonella and uncontrollable diarrhea Trump - cardiovascular event JD Vance - lightening Noem - dog gets revenge Ka$h - painful bleeding hemmoroids Hegseth - delirium tremens Rubio - ICE deportation
