Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."

I love that American nationalists think other countries should give America their oil.

Trump has about as much respect for The People's House as he does for the people.

Trump’s Rob Reiner comment was low even for him, but it’s the week of Epstein Files release and Affordable Care deadline, so look for more stupid Trump stuff to distract you from that. Epstein. Health care. Eye on the ball.

A joint investigation by Bellingcat and Lloyd’s List shows that Saudi Arabia is the newest country willing to accept what the Ukrainian government describes as “stolen” grain. youtube.com/shorts/5FUm6...

One of the dumbest EXECUTIVE ORDERS and also so so so reckless and dangerous. If fentanyl is a "weapon of mass destruction," then will the people who procure it, store it, & distribute it be treated & prosecuted as terrorists? If so, good luck, MAGA. Good luck. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

The third time in 2 months that the official DHS account has tweeted a Nazi term which means "ethnic cleansing" of all people of color from America and Europe.

Michelle Obama talks to Jimmy Kimmel about Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner. This is from tonight’s episode.

ICYMI 🇺🇦 The first successful use of an underwater naval drone. The SBU used a "Sub Sea Baby" drone to detonate a Russian Project 636.3 "Varshavyanka" class submarine in Novorossiysk, which had four "Kalibr" missile launchers on board. #Ukraine #Russia

Release the Epstein files.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation has sued Trump for demolishing the White House's East Wing. His plans to replace it with a billionaire-funded ballroom could be the most corrupt thing a president has ever done. https://youtu.be/Nbf6BJzpk1E?si=23K1iK7U-fxZWeVY

The president is using this apparent family tragedy, which as far as we know had absolutely nothing to do with him, to convey the message that if his fans brutally murder his critics, they will receive his support and approval.

Trump is absolute human garbage

Guan Heng risked his life to illuminate human rights abuses against Uyghurs, providing important evidence for the U.S. to counter Beijing's actions. It should earn him asylum, not deportation. 1/3

Big announcement from Gov. Newsom:

"Today, the Trump meme coin has lost 88% of its value... "First Lady Melania Trump’s meme coin suffered even steeper losses. Today it’s worth just 11 cents, which means anyone who bought at the top and held on has lost 99% of their investment..." www.cnn.com/2025/12/15/b...

Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it? TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

Trump on Rob Reiner: He was a deranged person… Trump derangement syndrome. I was not a fan. I thought he was very bad for our country.

The U.S. is not a member of the ICC, but the court can still prosecute individuals for actions carried out on the territory of ICC member nations.

NEWS: Trump officials are worried the ICC may try to prosecute them for war crimes once Trump's term ends, and are threatening sanctions against the ICC to change its founding document to grant them immunity. (via Reuters / link in reply)

1 million acres of pristine public land in Alaska will now be open to fossil fuel drilling, thanks to Republicans in Congress. Big Oil spent nearly $500 million lobbying and boosting friendly candidates last year — and now they're getting a big return on their investment.

What’s next, the Formula One Peace Prize? The Crypto Peace Prize? The Pardoned Drug Lord Peace Prize? The Rolex & Gold Bar Bribe Peace Prize? The Wayne Gretzky Peace Prize? #BoycottUSA

Public Service Announcement.

Reminder: This vast consolidation of wealth and power at the top has not been due to neutral market forces. There’s no such thing as a “free market.” It is designed. It either advances public purposes or it serves the monied interests.

Elon Musk's X, formerly known as Twitter, has received a $139 million fine by the European Commission.

He seems to be constantly fighting 'wokeness' these days...

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

I can’t believe they say this shit out loud

This is a rare acknowledgment — from a cabinet member — on the downsides of deportations. @cnbc.com

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.

AOC: This is how our healthcare system got deregulated. People talking about Americans should have the personal choice of getting totally fleeced by insurance companies.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Ilhan Omar: “His obsession with me is creepy, I'm not going anywhere — I'll be here longer than #Trump - He’s an old man losing his mind. I hope he gets the help he desperately needs—”

Goodnight
