Econ Professor: Is this the first time a Fed chair has been threatened with jail for upsetting the president? In US history, absolutely. In global history, absolutely not. We've seen these tactics in Argentina, Russia, Turkey, Venezuela. This is the stuff of tin pot dictators. This never ends well

Know your rights if ICE show up. An important piece from @kimwehle.bsky.social and Zeteo:

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

BREAKING: Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie have just asked a federal judge to appoint a special master/independent monitor to ensure that ALL Epstein documents are released! America needs answers as to not only what Trump is hiding but why they are hiding these files, against the law.

Reporter: A mother of 3, a partner, a poet. 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. She was shot and killed near the site of an ICE operation after dropping off her 6-year-old son at school. She was a devoted Christian. Her former neighbor says she wasn't a terrorist nor an extremist as she's been described.

Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles. Absolutely vile.

The FBI has blocked Minnesota investigators from accessing evidence in the deadly Minneapolis ICE shooting.

The unspoken thing about holding ICE accountable is that any federal charges are moot, as the president will simply pardon his jackbooted killers and thugs, just as he did last year for January Sixers, who also murdered and wreaked havoc in his name. Fascism rots from the head.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Trumpists will be giving the ICE murderer awards and recognitions and honors. That’s because (1) killing someone who thinks differently than they do is their fantasy (2) most of them are too spineless to do it but (3) by praising the murderer they can murder in a fantasy-league way

The right wants to talk about fraud? Somali fraud? Okay, give me 60 seconds.

Why do they keep making frictionless phones that nobody could actually use without it sliding to oblivion the second you loosen your grip or put it on an uneven surface At least throw in a $10 case to save us the trouble

"How Trump Incited an Insurrection: A Jan. 6 Timeline" Five years later, as the president attempts to rewrite what happened on Jan. 6, 2021, Zeteo has a detailed hour-by-hour guide to what Trump said and did that fateful and violent day.

Billionaire Paul Singer's acquisition of Citgo, the US-based subsidiary of Venezuela's state-run oil company, was green-lit by a judge in November 2025. Singer donated at least $5 million to Trump and $37 million to GOP congressional races in 2024.

This should rank as one of the most serious corruption scandals in history- the White House sharing top secret military information with oil company executives but not with Congress, creating massive opportunities for insider trading and other corrupt deals.

Abducting a guy for dancing would only make sense in a Footloose reboot

A 2023 analysis of the effects of CIA-sponsored regime change in five Latin American countries found the interventions caused “large declines in democracy scores, rule of law, freedom of speech, and civil liberties.” interc.pt/4sinphB

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

Year-end tally of Trump admin combat actions in 2025: —Yemen—1,000+ strikes* —Somalia—140+ strikes, 1 ground raid** —Syria—78+ strikes, 3 ground raids*** —Iran—3 B-2 strikes —Iraq—1 strike —Nigeria—1 set of TLAM strikes —Caribbean—11 strikes —Eastern Pacific—20 strikes —Venezuela—1 known CIA strike

This is an act of war and illegal under both US and international law, let’s just be clear about that:

The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

“.. We need to get better at treating this like a business,” ICE acting director Todd M. Lyons said .. as efficiently as Amazon moves packages: “Like Prime, but with human beings.” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

Thinking about what % of the world's problems would be solved if it was utterly and uncompromisingly illegal to earn more than $10m/yr in income And in their place, I'd be treating that ungodly amount of money like the One Ring, wholly corrupting and treacherous

Nothing to see here, just a right wing hyper-nationalist government going to their party’s youth event sponsored by a group with a martyred leader they’ve pledged to avenge, recruiting people to join their masked police force devoted to removing auslanders from ze homeland.

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release. AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

I don’t think the law passed by Congress said that DOJ has to release less than 1% of the materials by Dec 19.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Deputy AG Blanche just said the Trump DOJ will miss the Epstein files deadline. He says "several hundred thousand" docs will be released today, "and then over the next couple weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more." All files are required by law to be released today.

As expected, in order to avoid a vote on extension of the ACA, Mike Johnson is gaveling the House into recess.

Here's Trump judicial nominee Justin Olson today, admitting than in 2015, he gave a sermon in which he said that “marriage was not intended for all people,” including “our handicapped friends or our persons with physical disabilities that might prevent the robust marriage that we’re called to.”

The FCC has edited their website to remove language calling the FCC an independent agency. This comes minutes after FCC Chair Carr said The FCC "is not an independent agency"

Host: Health officials in South Carolina have an escalating measles outbreak with no end in sight. Of the 111 cases reported, 105 involved unvaccinated people. This outbreak is just the latest of several across the country this year, putting the US on track to lose its measles elimination status

One of the most blatantly authoritarian threats in a Trump term full of them

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Virginia Democrats on Thursday night vowed to axe four Republicans from the state's U.S. House delegation, a direct response to the Supreme Court ruling that same evening that Texas' extreme Republican gerrymander is legal.

To be very clear, Kennedy's team is messing with a vaccine which has led to a 99 percent drop in the incidence of hepatitis B, which kills, early and painfully, 25 percent of the people who get it as children. lnk.thebulwark.com/3Xt957M

it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man on earth and leading Republican is a fucking Nazi media needs to stop beating around the bush. this is Nazi shit.

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

New from 404 Media: ChatGPT told a violent stalker to continue running his misogynistic and threat-filled podcast despite the “haters,” and to visit more gyms to find women. The man stalked women in multiple states, including touching and following from work www.404media.co/chatgpt-spot...

One issue with saying Hegseth threw Admiral Bradley "under the bus" is that the phrase implies incidental/minor culpability at best. Each sailor in the chain of command bears equal responsibility for murder, both first and second strike. "Just following orders" doesn't cut it. Resist. Reject. Resign

But it does worry me a little bit to see military officials angry about Bradley being thrown under the bus without a concurrent acknowledgement that he did in fact commit an obvious war crime.

Yesterday I posted a paper about the danger of social media algos pushing more and more people into extreme right-wing views. It now only takes a week to change someone’s view by the same amount that used to take 3 years. I fully expect calls for violence against vaccine proponents to explode.

Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing "Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions." Report by @alexhorton.bsky.social @ellenwapo.bsky.social o.bsky.social

NEW data I've received: Just 5% of people detained by ICE since October 1 have had violent criminal convictions, 3/4 had no criminal convictions at all. Most "criminals" had immigration, traffic, and vice offenses. Not the "worst of the worst"...

DOGE is ending 8 months early. It will have cost us $135B to rehire workers, $21.7B in waste, a potential loss of more than $500B billion in tax revenue over 10 years & a loss of $10B in economic activity with the loss of programs that previously returned billions to taxpayers.
