This isn’t the first time that the nation with the most powerful military in the world morphed from a democracy to a rogue authoritarian state that invades other countries for profit and resources. See 1939.

Clowns will say it doesn't matter; we don't have the numbers to impeach. You get the numbers by FORCING THE ISSUE. You make NOISE, you DEMAND, you NEVER STOP YELLING. You do nothing? You get nothing. Ignore the clowns. Call your fucking reps and tell them to do their jobs and IMPEACH. reps.fyi

Every other nation in the Americas needs to immediately form a new military and economic alliance to protect themselves from a rampaging rogue state that is overtly invading other nations for profit.

Is it grammatically correct to say that Trump’s strategy boils down to “immortality is a virtue?” How do you express benefit in a philosophy that doesn’t condone goodness?

This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets. polymarket.com/@0x31a56e9E6...

Gee, why won’t Trump press harder against Putin invading another country to steal their land and resources?

The US Attorney General confirms Maduro is being charged with "conspiracy to possess machine guns" - something Republicans usually call a constitutional right.

Trump says Maduro wanted to negotiate but Trump refused. This is a war of conquest. A smash-and-grab for oil.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Trump has turned the US into history’s greatest crime syndicate, where the military acts to murder and kidnap for profit. I have to admit, that wasn’t on my bingo card.

REMINDER: War Crimes committed on soil of a signature nation to the International Criminal court expose those committing crimes to the jurisdiction of the ICC--even if their own country is not a member. Venezuela is a member of the ICC. Thus, Trump can and MUST be prosecuted at The Hague

Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.

you don't need to add caveats agreeing that the head of state abducted is a bad guy before opposing abduction of a head of state by military force. If the rule was any head of government is fair game then the entire world would be a series of decapitation strikes and show trials in foreign courts.

NEW: People are using Elon Musk's chatbot, Grok, to alter images to depict real women being sexually abused, humiliated, hurt, and even killed. futurism.com/future-socie...

A skill reporters will have to develop in the year of our larb 2026 is knowing that “LLM produces text” doesn’t mean that anyone is actually doing the thing. *Grok* would not be fixing its own safeguards. Ask Musk if he’s adding safeguards, and if that’ll happen before he sends a spaceship to Mars.

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

The bribery is right out in the open..

Thinking this is wrong is not radical. Thinking it isn’t is.

DHS reportedly fast-tracked a contract worth almost $1 billion to a company led by a donor to a pro-Trump nonprofit group where one of the officials overseeing the deal previously worked. That raises serious ethics concerns.

The article on Costco vs Walmart is finally up. “Neither Walmart nor Costco represents the extreme of what's possible within the system, but their choices showcase the contrasts found within the broad spectrum of American capitalism.”

Many space supporters have been cheering the selection of Jared Issacman as the new NASA administrator, but will the billionaire actually step up to end the destruction of knowledge and save the history (and future) of NASA?

'What was lost when the East Wing was turned into rubble? History, for one — the wing was built in 1902. The White House movie theater. The First Lady’s offices, not that we imagine Melania cares, since now she has even less reason to hang around.'

It is kind of wild that no big media outlet has busted open the story of who is making DHS' posts on X. Whoever that may be is certainly plugged into hardcore white supremacist internet propaganda with a harder edge. "Groyper" would be underselling it. This is Daily Stormer-tier sludge.

On Jack Smith deposition, now released: 100% obvious why GOP refused to allow this as open testimony, aired live. It's damning. Testimony from John Dean or Alex ("wiretaps") Butterfield in Watergate days would have 1/10th the impact if just in print. What Smith says is far more incriminating.

Well this is guaranteed to win back the farm vote.

House Judiciary Committee releases on New Years Eve (in an obvious attempt to bury this info) the Jack Smith deposition transcript. I recommend doing a word search for "proof beyond a reasonable doubt." And explanation of disenfranchisement of urban areas. judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

A reminder: In most places where this happened, it was despite fierce opposition from Republicans who had no trouble with extending tax cuts to billionaires. www.epi.org/blog/over-8-...

Typed the word "Brobdingnagian" into my text this morning, waited for spell check to correct me, and discovered I had gotten it correct. Good brain. Have a biscuit.

With the caveat that mouse studies are often poor predictors of drug efficacy in humans, and that’s been particularly true with Alzheimer’s treatments, this still seems like a holy sh*t moment.

"What a year for the ultra wealthy. The world’s 500 richest people added a record $2.2 trillion to their collective fortunes in 2025’s… booming markets, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. And about a quarter of this year’s gains went to just eight billionaires.” — Bloomberg Morning Brief

Fewer than 3% of journalists are trained to cover science, health or the environment. And access to that training is scarce and inequitable.

Forget famine, wars, and disease. Trump has failed at the thing he cares about most: Ratings. “The ratings for the 2025 Kennedy Center Honors, hosted by Donald Trump, dropped to a new all-time low”

The brutal respiratory infection has infected tens of thousands and killed at least 13 people in the U.S. in 2025

This is Trump’s long game. We’ve spent years cracking down on fraudsters. It’s a serious issue - but this has been his plan all along. He’s politicizing the issue to defund programs that help Minnesotans. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/hhs...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis diverted more than $35 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to defeat two ballot initiatives last year. I’ve got the @miamiherald.com‘s blockbuster reporting on how DeSantis cheated needy Floridians and children from their already-earmarked funds. youtu.be/EM0uTojxLCM?...

This is awesome news! Nasal vaccines don’t just provide needle-free immunity to disease. They also activate immune systems that traditional vaccines don’t, providing better protection from disease.

I sat next to Ray Bradbury for four hours at a signing. While I was there, Ray Harryhausen came up to chat and I interrupted the Ray—Ray show long enough to get an autograph on a VHS tape of “Jason and the Argonauts.” (Yes, of course I still have it.)

Costconomics vs Walmartnomics in a nutshell. Here’s why having a Costco in a community boosts the entire community, including nearby businesses, while Walmart destroys whole towns and leaves people leaning on social safety nets. And yes, it’s about as simple as you think. …

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)

Nothing about this quote about a “ballroom” suggests “peaceful transfer of power.”

The thing here is that he stole $39,000,000 from Medicaid and only got 3 years in the first place. Trump pardoned him anyway. www.mcknights.com/news/skyline...

This is one of the most severe changes of weather in a short time I’ve ever experienced. The temperature has been plunging for an hour after hitting record highs and the wind is roaring.

It’s 76F outside. Not only a record for the date, but tying the all time record for *any* December date in St. Louis. The previous record was set, what do you know, just 4 years ago.

They will show the ruined city. Then they will show beautiful resorts, full of wealthy people. They will call it a triumph; “the world’s greatest urban renewal project.” And toast themselves. Meanwhile, the people who lived, worked, and raised families there will be in refuge camps. Or dead.

Trump Family Wealth 2025 Gains Breakdown: Donald Trump: Gained $3 billion. Eric Trump: Net worth jumped to $400-750 million Donald Trump Jr.: Increased to $500 million from $50 million. Barron Trump: Estimated at $150 million. Ivanka Trump & Jared Kushner: Ivanka at $100 million; Kushner ~$1 billion

ICYMI — “Jared’s the INVESTOR here” J.D. Vance referred to Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner as “the investor” in Gaza, as he and Witkoff cook up a scheme to enrich their families on the backs of the horrors there And the Hunter hunters are silent🤔

The reason that SpaceX is going public and announcing nonsense about data centers in space: 1. The outside client launch manifest is flat and becoming more competitive 2. The total TAM for starlink was never going to justify the valuation 3. Growth for commerical/residential Starlink is shrinking
