Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too. Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

I went to all 10 of the daycares Nick Shirley featured in his viral video. I got inside 4 and found children. Lots of children: www.startribune.com/day-care-fra...

Either Trump believes the US struck a Venezuelan facility on Christmas Eve because he was told that erroneously, or he's conflating different stories, or we actually did what he claims. Regardless of explanation, we need that information.

This dramatically enhanced pressure on Europe/Denmark and the new outrageous sanctions on info researchers coming at a time when Putin is escalating his physical attacks on Ukraine suggests that the US is now *coordinating* with Russia to weaken Europe and Ukraine. bsky.app/profile/donm...

Medicare started in 1965 and it already has coverage for prescriptions We just need to expand eligibility so everyone gets to take part There's no need to invent a brand-new universal healthcare system

Sending three ghosts tonight to fuck up Stephen Miller.

The Supreme Court rejected the federal government’s request to deploy the National Guard in Illinois. It’s time to let our troops go home to celebrate the holidays with their families — and stay home.

Michigan's GOP Senate hopeful Mike Rogers is selling Michiganders a fantasy while they’re paying the bill. Rogers claims manufacturing jobs are “coming back,” even as the data shows the opposite: manufacturing employment is shrinking, Michigan has lost thousands of jobs since the tariffs kicked in.

For years, many Americans treated Putin as a transactional leader you could deal with. That’s a mistake. Today, he’s driven by ideology—not logic or Russia’s national interest. If we don’t understand that, we won’t deter him or end this war.

If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

HASSETT: If the Supreme Court doesn't find with us, refunds would go to whoever cut the check for the tariff BRENNAN: Doesn't the administration claim it was the country that paid that? HASSETT: Uhh --

The redactions confirm one thing:

its coming.

The right wing, pro trump domination of mass media is the media story of the year. Maybe just maybe we can stop with the ‘liberal media’ lie now?

Trump wants America to “shrink from a global…to a regional power.” Ambassador Susan Rice warns: stay alert — this administration thrives on distraction and destruction: https://contrarian.substack.com/p/dictatorship-isolation-and-automation

Unitary executive until they need someone to blame

You don’t redact every mention of your name from The Pedophile Chronicles unless you’re guilty as fuck

As important as who we boycott is where we choose to spend. www.essence.com/lifestyle/we...

They’re hiding the job numbers, the second strike video, Jack Smith’s testimony, Donald Trump’s health issues and the Epstein files. Most “transparent” administration in history my fucking ass.

Congress demanded Jack Smith testify about his investigations, but kept him behind closed doors during his sworn deposition. If we care about transparency, then Congress should release the transcript. My thoughts in Bloomberg. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Here is a great run down of the whistle system and how to order them, use them, etc. from someone living it in Chicago, @dansinker.com. Spread it around! dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

Zohran: "We have monetized the dysfunction." Gamers: My dude, welcome to the club. Korean Devs: I can't believe you idiots still let people buy plane tickets. They should be buying a chance to be given a plane ticket to an unknown destination. Delta: Wait, we can do that? Sean Duffy: lol, sure!

Any news outlet that treats this incident as being in a vacuum, and does not mention Trump's repeated attacks and threats against her, is failing to report the news.

@altfda.altgov.info has a great thread on how production decisions increased the risk of tainted infant formula. A good illustration of the need for both robust regulation and oversight (FDA). Parents can’t inspect facilities. The government should.

Nurses are the backbone of our health care system. They deserve respect. Unfortunately, St. Joseph’s Hospital in Texas has hired union busters to stop nurses from unionizing. Unacceptable. I stand with these brave nurses in the struggle for justice & against corporate greed.

“Largely unregulated rise of data centers to fuel AI and crypto is threatening Americans’ economic, environmental, climate, water security.Energy prices have increased by 13% so far under Trump and ~80 million Americans are currently struggling to pay for energy." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

WOW! AN HONOR! — GCN

True, the Supreme Court can’t overrule or rewrite the Constitution. But they CAN “interpret” it. Therein lies the problem. Because this Court has perverted the law so many times, even clauses that seem thoroughly immutable can’t be considered safe.

If the Fourteenth Amendment isn’t real then Section 3 isn’t real either and the justices are suddenly just people in funny clothes.

"Nearly 100 former lawmakers call on House to ban stock trading by members of Congress" @davelevinthal.com for @opensecrets.org

It’ll be the funniest thing when he gets dumped once he’s no longer in government

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

bugs bunny was literally the first guy in drag i ever saw but ok

Straight talk from Robert Reich

First of all her name is Kaitlan Collins and she’s far from stupid & nasty. Next, this nastiness from this cockroach of a president needs to be checked by somebody! Since when is asking a totally relevant question a problem? This isn’t his White House.

More of this nationwide please!

STUPID! If you want to know why cars cost more, look at tariffs, commodity spikes, electronics, and supply chain changes — not long-established fuel economy rules. Weakening CAFE standards could backfire and lead to HIGHER gas prices if vehicles become less efficient.

There was a 13 point swing last night in TN-07. If we see a 13 point swing in South Carolina in Nov 2026 Lindsey Graham will be retired and I will be the first ever pediatrician Senator.

Every organization is vulnerable somewhere. The larger they are, the more tender spots they have. Disrupt their events. Drive negative press coverage. Damage their reputations. Compel your organizations and institutions to sever ties with them. Be a hornet - sting where they are vulnerable.

Trump calls human beings “vermin,” “garbage,” “diseases,” “poison,” and “animals.” Then, when I rightfully point out that the same dehumanizing language has been used by fascist regimes to justify humanity’s worst atrocities—Republicans lose their minds. Give me a break.
