Look up the word "credulous" in the dictionary and you will find an etching of Danny Westneat. And yet even HE isn't buying all this if you tax the rich they'll move out of state bullshit.

AS IF WE DIDN’T WARN THEM IT WOULD HAPPEN. A TRUMP GESTAPO ("Customs & Border Patrol") THUG was charged with RAPING MULTIPLE WOMEN, using his BADGE as pretext to enter their premises. HE’D DONE IT BEFORE in 2022. They had his DNA. It’s how they caught him. chicago.suntimes.com/public-safet...

Empty threats aside, Dems should run in 2026 and 2028 on imposing a federal wealth tax much of the proceeds from which be returned to the states. The federal government essentially serving as the wealth tax collector for the states is far harder to evade.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

WTF is this Netflix half time show?

As a Jew, it’s fun watching the administration post Christian nationalist messages while also saying they are doing everything they can to curb antisemitism.

To all my gentile friends I hope that Santa brought you lots of toys, but no more than the 3-doll/5-pencil limit imposed by President Trump.

Good on Chuck Redd for taking a stand against authoritarianism. Every artist and performer with an ounce of self-respect should follow his lead and boycott the Kennedy Center until its name and legacy is fully restored.

“Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, told the FBI in 2023 that Epstein was murdered in his jail cell because he was about to ‘name names.’ Mark Epstein, 71, who has long believed that his brother was killed, also alleged in the tip that President Trump ‘authorized’ the late sex trafficker’s murder.”

I'm not saying something that people don't already know. But it's worth making the issue explicit. We have an elaborate jurisprudence of probable cause, rooted in explicit strictures in the constitution that places big limits on what police can do to you. Those limits may be honored in the breach...

The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didn’t need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.

Weissand Effect

Bari Weiss and DHS don't want you to watch this.

My daughter is in an Uber on her way to LAX and she's having me track her location because her driver keeps talking about how Trump messages him privately.

This is why I do not use X, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, or YouTube.

That headline is misleading. Mitt doesn't actually want to "tax the rich, like me." He advocates for taxing his heirs. But mostly it's just fear-mongering about "entitlements" and the "debt cliff" to make the case for means testing future retirees.

Noem is using the Brown University shooter to end an entire visa program, but it should be noted that Pete Hegseth, just today, murdered more than twice as many people

Nobody can definitively PROVE they are a citizen. If the burden of proof is on the accused, they can detain and deport anyone.

Great idea. We should rename more things in honor of Trump.

We might have a mass murderer on the loose and the FBI Director is going on podcasts talking about his love life. This would be a national scandal if a Democrat was president.

So... The Hunger Games?

In Nacua's defense, how could he have possibly known that the "Covetous Jew" dance might be perceived of as offensive? www.sbnation.com/nfl/1095655/...

As a journalist, David Brooks regularly attends events to speak with noted and important business leaders to inform his columns, which is exactly what happened at this 2011 event. Mr. Brooks had no contact with him before or after this. Oh, and his wife is 23 years younger than him. But whatever.

In the 90 minutes since I posted this, I've gotten two more death notifications. ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.

Congratulations to the exotic dance industry in Fayetteville, North Carolina on the $1,776 "warrior dividend"

This is what Roman emperors did to secure the loyalty of the Praetorian Guard.

Trump is a fucking monster and anyone who supports or defends him is a monster too.

The "Trump Memorial" should be a dance floor over his grave.

The only time I see television commercials these days is when I watch a live sporting event, and it really makes me despair for humanity.

American Gestapo.

This is both heartbreaking and infuriating. I love Infinite Monkey Cage and profoundly admire the job Robin Ince has done making complicated science both accessible and entertaining. The powers that be at BBC should resign in disgrace.

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party. Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar

Go to your doctor and get your measles titers checked to make sure you are still immune and if not get re-vaccinated. It’s more and more likely all of us are going to eventually come in contact with it.

Hey, Dr. Seuss Enterprises & @drseussfoundation.bsky.social: Are you going to allow the Trump White House to violate your trademark, despoil your brand, and insult the legacy of the late, great Theodor Geisel in the service of the politics of hate?

This a clear and obvious trademark violation—and Dr. Seuss Enterprises is nothing if not litigious when it comes to defending the Grinch.

Those of us on the academic and research side of countering fascism and authoritarianism have been trying to warn you this was always where this was going and that the republicans were building the intellectual infrastructure and state capacity to carry out the mass murder of their opposition.

Tyson Foods spent $196M juicing its stock. Later, it announced 3,200 layoffs in a town of 11,000. This is the Trillion Dollar Heist in real life. ⬇️

TIME didn’t just miss the mark this year they swan-dived off it. By recreating the iconic “Lunch Atop a Skyscraper” photo with tech billionaires instead of the workers who literally built America with their hands,

And thanks in part to the New York Times, in practice, this is now true.

Congestion pricing seems like a great example of a policy where the effects are immediately legible to the public in a way that changes their views. Before, people were unsure; after, most people see the benefits and don't want to go back (see also smoking in bars).

I’m not sure how many ways Trump has to dream up to tell you that, yes, indeed, he is a racist. Or how many days we’re going to go before the media starts reporting on him for who he truly is rather than what they want him to be.

Looks like a handful of vulnerable Republicans are beginning to lose faith in Trump's ability to deliver on his promise to end free and fair elections. NY, PA, & NJ delivered half the GOP yeas.

How many more failed indictments before the Trump administration resorts to drone strikes?

A "serious setback" for the administration? What an odd and offensive framing.

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

Instacart got caught running real-time price experiments on shoppers — same groceries, different prices. Workers know this game well: Instacart’s algorithm does the same thing to their pay. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/b...

I can already speak to my dead grandmother. She just can't speak back.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground. Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse. Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!
