Olivia Nuzzi: yes, she helped endanger every child in America, but at least she isn't sorry about it

this sentence alone, my goodness

Rep. Grijalva says she was pepper-sprayed by ICE

Our kids were little, and we lived in Malaysia, when current HepB vax approved in 1986. Our doctor in KL told us how great it was for our kids to get this protection so early in life. I got my shot too. Deb was then very sick w HepA, from trip through China. Got her shot later This ruling is evil

The Supreme Court sided with this dissent:

Okay @erinbiba.bsky.social it’s time for my second-most anticipated annual thread: Cats in Christmas Trees (and Battling Menorahs). Starting off strong with Donut.

/11 One day the Trumpists will fall. Something has to emerge from that. I'd prefer it be an honest and accountable rule of law, one actually run on principles and not on luxury motor homes, rather on the whim of some other group of strongmen.

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.

the absolute pettiness of this regime's racism is breathtaking

41 minutes is a long time to sit in your air conditioned office watching men struggle to survive as you decide to kill them.

Single issue voter here. And this is the issue.

Seriously, this is the equivalent of sending weird letters to the local police, subconsciously hoping someone will stop you.

I don't care if a non-disabled person accesses a disability accommodation for the same reason I don't care if a child whose parents are rich gets free lunch at school. We don't need to means test being a kind person. I have better things to do with my time than be a cop over social services.

So, you know how people say stuff like, "just repost this & you'll have supported journalism"? But this time... it's literally true! Russ has offered to donate to Bolts for each repost this ⬇️ gets or each follow @boltsmag.org gets—up to a sum way higher than we're at. let's make this go viral!

This fetid landmark, this historical stain on humanity is primarily due to the stunningly reckless obliteration of America's foreign assistance agency earlier this year. Led by the richest man on earth. In secret, on a weekend. With zero analysis or discussion of its catastrophic impacts.

I need to say that everyone who bowed and caved to Trump, everyone who began 2025 acting as if we were at the beginning of a forever Reich, you, in your own way, helped grant the presumption of impunity that murdered these men.

i will vote for any presidential candidate who campaigns on sending pete hegseth to the hague

Where are Somalis in the Epstein Files? Oh wait there aren't. It was rich men, overwhelmingly white men, who raped girls with Epstein. Allegedly Daddy Trump was Epstein's closest friend for 10 years. So where are the Epstein Files? Hit MAGA back and don't let them demonize Somalis. Enough.

The President of the United States is trying to throw Mark Kelly in prison and Mark Kelly's response is to confirm judges who have committed to putting him in prison

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has proposed disastrous cuts to our city's libraries while setting aside $5M for a ShotSpotter replacement. As library associate Sara Heymann told me, “Libraries embody everything we need to fight back against fascism.” My piece on what’s at stake and how to fight back:

The full video of the rant about Omar and Somalis is so much worse than even the snippets that can fit into text quotes can properly convey. It is the longest he's maintained a train of thought on a single topic in months, and he's just reveling in it the whole time like a pig in shit.

"If one of the most anti-abortion states in America can muster only a sliver of support for total bans, what does that tell you about how popular abortion rights really are? Just as important: if deep red states don’t want abortion banned, who does?" jessica.substack.com/p/abortion-b...

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves

I see kicking out the pentagon press corps stopped the leaks

Why is this so hideously accurate

Hi. I transcribe child forensic interviews You know who doesn’t want kids to know the correct names for body parts? The predators that put those kids in a position to need child forensic interviews. Those kids NEVER know the right words for their body parts and it is always a hinderance.

Will continue to bang this drum: this is the system university admins are cramming into every aspect of education. This is the system we are told “isn’t going anywhere” so we all have to adjust to it.

NEW: The commutation Trump issued to David Gentile wipes away all further fines & restitution. Gentile had been sentenced to 7 years for his role in a $1.6B scheme that defrauded thousands of investors. Prosecutors had been seeking $15.5M in forfeiture. www.justice.gov/pardon/media...

Why are Republicans afraid to let Jack Smith testify in public?

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Everyone in Chicago needs to read this AND TAKE ACTION. Everyone else should read this and ask what's happening where you are with your public library systems.

"It’s like a children’s book about good old red, white, and blue—except it was written by Joan Didion in a black turtleneck, and it fucking sucks."

We're doing pogroms in America now

Hi. If you are a Democrat taking anything else out of tonight’s results in TN other than it’s a big hopeful sign and we should all be working our asses off to recruit in all of the House seats we can then I have no time for you. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Charlestown, Virginia Dec 2, 1859 I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.

Were this 17-point swing to occur uniformly in every Congressional district as now drawn, the result would be approximately 264 D seats, 171 R seats, a 51-seat shift. TX gerrymandering gains would be limited to 2 seats; NC/MO, backfire. Not to say this will happen, just to illustrate the impact.

Fucjin R+22 to R+5.6? In an off year election?? In a district gerrymandered to fuck to keep it republican?? Fuck yeah, TN07, y'all done good. Swinging a district like that 16 points is hard goddamned work so y'all go have something to eat and get some rest.

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.

STAY IN LINE! Polls close at 7 PM! If you are in line before 7 PM, you can still vote! Call 1-833-DEM-VOTE if you have any problems.

Gov. JB Pritzker signed a bill into law Tuesday to make Illinois the first state to issue vaccine recommendations independent of the CDC. Democrats believe Illinois should ensure healthcare regardless of decisions made by the federal government.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

life is long and i've seen a lot of things come and go but i will not stand for the rehabilitation of the ron howard grinch. motherfucker i was THERE in the theater. i was there

Can somebody please just leak the Epstein files in their entirety already?

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

This is a lie. Impeachment resolutions can be brought to the floor at any time. Tell your Congresscritter this. Call the US Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121.

the media went on and on about the price of eggs and milk under biden, meanwhile trump is conducting an illegal war in south america that he says he doesnt know anything about and the media's big concern is their invite to the white house christmas party

This sentence from @tressiemcphd.bsky.social may be my favorite of the year, if not the decade: "We are watching a middle-aged career woman time the market on her political and professional ambitions."

trump is the president in the sense that he holds the office but he very clearly isn't the president in the sense that he has basically relieved himself of its duties
