💢 Keep in mind that two of Trump's "best people", Pam Bondi and Alexander Acosta helped facilitate these deeply disturbing and morally bankrupt crimes against little girls, some as young as 12 years old. (some claims through the years have reported victims aged as young as 10 years)

I'm a veteran criminal justice reporter. I've never seen anything like ICE-occupied Memphis. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Another Republican is running away from the authoritarian pedophile and his lawless regime. Cynthia Lummis will not seek re-election in the Senate. 😳👇

My free weekend update is out. This week confirmed the basic truth that Ukraine is winning the war at sea. Offensively the Ukrainians took the war into a vital Russian naval base and attacked a Russian tanker at sea. Russia is far more vulnerable than many admit. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Exclusive: The Trump administration’s pitch to turn Gaza’s rubble into a futuristic coastal destination includes beachside luxury resorts, high-speed rail and AI-optimized smart grids.

“For Putin, the war is more than a worldly matter, it’s something sacred, something he must do, and that’s why he sees Trump as a very simple guy.” The relationship between the cat and the trapped mouse. www.wsj.com/world/putin-...

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files. Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out. See for yourself.

Trump has begun lifting American sanctions on companies that sell weapons to the Russian military. The Russians have finally offered enough money to the Trump family and Trump is 100% on Russia's side now.

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines. It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States. And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

US Treasury lifted sanctions from companies that supplied sanctioned equipment to Russia's defense sector, including Cyprus-based Veles International, Dubai's 365 Days, Turkey's Etasis and Finland's Hi-Tech Koneisto, without explaining why. ofac.treasury.gov/recent-actio...

I know a lot happened today, but just a reminder— This morning Trump's Bitcoin holding company with a social-media side hustle announced plans to merge with a nuclear-fusion firm, causing the president's stock to go up by $500 million

"Miller’s mission of boosting deportation numbers of necessity requires arresting people who are not criminals or gang members—people who have jobs and have become integrated into U.S. communities—because there’s no other way to get the removals up." -Greg Sargent

The Trump family has amassed a $4 billion fortune since his re-election. During my time as Ambassador, I was accused of "focusing too intensely on the issue of corruption." There's no such thing. We need leaders who serve the people — not themselves. www.wsj.com/politics/tru...

Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Was the U.S. Capitol attacked on January 6, 2021? Trump nominee: *dodges* Trump nominee: *dodges* Trump nominee: Well, individuals entered the Capitol. Blumenthal: You are in fear—how will you have the courage to be fair and impartial?

NEW: A hacker gained control of 1,100 mobile phones powering covert, AI-generated ads on TikTok. Then, he shared details of the operation with 404 Media. A look inside how startup Doublespeed, which is backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), is creating AI spam pages on TikTok to promote products.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

What a lede: "A heinous act of violence. A faceless killer on the loose. A desperate manhunt. An F.B.I. director with a finger poised over the “post” button on his social media account."

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

this is the cringiest shit I've ever seen

There's no rule of journalism that says you have to show a president telling lie after lie – uncorrected – many times a day. That's a decision that corporate media are making for purposes other than delivering the truth to the public.

How is this any different than the propaganda that targeted the Hitler youth?

Meta has removed or restricted dozens of accounts belonging to abortion access providers, queer groups & reproductive health organisations in the past weeks. It's what campaigners call one of the “biggest waves of censorship” on its platforms in years. If you're not boycotting Zuckerberg...

OMG. This is so dystopian, I don't even know where to begin giving y'all a synopsis. You'll just have to read it... No pay wall.

SCOTUS appears to be willing to forbid any use of race data in redistricting. That could be the demise of the VRA, allowing states to redraw congressional districts currently represented by Black Dems into whiter, more rural, & more conservative seats, potentially before the midterms. Gift link.

The US voted with Russia, China and N. Korea against most of the civilized world. This is where we are at.

In 2021, Jared Kushner claimed he was leaving politics. Instead, armed with billions in funding from Middle East autocrats, he is brokering “peace” deals for Trump that double as real estate ventures and positioning himself at the center of Trump's media ambitions. None of it is an accident.

Why is the media not covering this. On a loop.

The US government is now a mafia organization.

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported? Noem: We have not deported military veterans. Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

"When I said in February that they were going to cast a wide net for deportations, I had no idea how bad it would be. This is not just a matter of aggressive deportation. The things that are being done by our government to our fellow human beings are monstrous." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

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!

Russia’s assets in the West are not hiding their traitorous plans

Instacart’s “dynamic pricing” makes NYT Page One .. .. AND the NY Post wood: $CART @bencasselman.bsky.social

Good morning Bluesky. This is the most corrupt, transactional, and selfish, and need I say it, incestutuous, regime in US history. That is saying a lot. Wow.

I rarely sound alarm - but please: do not believe what you hear or read from the legacy outlets. For US news - these either serve the WH by definition or are intimidated to serve (always their decision though) For global news - US media spreads pro-RU, anti-EU views under “America First” label.

Make America Healthy Again my ass.

Tom Cotton would not even be in Congress, were it not for the huge defense contractors supporting him from the beginning and keeping him flush with cash.

Of course. Of course. www.axios.com/2025/12/08/j...
