Rachel Maddow had a great opening to her show last night. She showed in Bulguria massive protests lead to it's government to resign. That's is what needs to happen here. Yes, we had 15 million people show up for the second No Kings. But, we need numbers like 100 million+. youtu.be/aqm07OUwbgY?...

20 State AGs have sued Russell Vought for trying to starve the CFPB of funding. Since 2011, the CFPB has returned over $20B to consumers. Without the Bureau, financial predators and scammers will have an easier time picking your pocket.

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite. But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump is part of that global elite. Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

@rokhanna.bsky.social: "People are sick of two tiers of justice in this country. They're sick of an elite that gets away with even things like raping young girls or watching young girls be raped and not saying anything. They are sick of elite impunity."

His entire rant had to be fact-checked to see if there was any truth in anything he ranted about. As usual, if his mouth is moving, he's lying.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

CBS NEWS: “We can’t report on the current murdering spree until we get the serial killer’s side of the story.”

"Imam Fouad’s death is not an isolated tragedy, it is the predictable outcome of a violent detention system that continues to cage people for profit and punishment."

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

Never stop talking about how the supposed president is a child RAPIST!!

They are killing innocent people in ICE custody. Now we are in Germany. Someone do something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ummmmmm

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%. The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion. Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024. Nothing trickled down.

🚨 @rokhanna.bsky.social on Pam Bondi violating the Epstein Transparency Act: "People are subjecting themselves to the risk of prosecution... This is not just about these 3 remaining years. A new administration could prosecute these individuals. The statute of limitations would not have run out."

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

HCR with a history of how "religion" has been kept separate from "government" in the USA over the years.

Mike Johnson has lost control of the House, as we continue to push through petitions to force the votes he tries so hard to run from. Congress may be closed for the Holiday, but their inboxes aren’t. Let’s flood them with messages and urge them to vote yes on extending ACA tax credits!

If you know anyone in the military, please share this with them. The Convicted FElon's $1776 bonus check for military is coming from their monthly housing allowance. So they will get less money for housing. Also the bonus check will be taxable income. They are getting screw. youtu.be/HbUkGtu25Ik?...

A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents: It does not provide immunity for prior crimes. It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet. Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.

Millions of Americans are about to see their health insurance costs skyrocket as ACA subsidies expire at the end of the year. How did Congress respond this week? By heading home for the holidays.

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.
