Ossoff: "She's gonna have to give up her insurance in the middle of chemotherapy while she's fighting breast cancer. What are people supposed to do when they lose health insurance in the middle of a cancer battle? ... this is life or death"

JFC. The weakening of America continues.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

My signature is on there 💪🏻

Claiming to be pro-family, Trump’s research funding cuts only limit our understanding of the environmental factors that may contribute to infertility. After ending Dr. Mahalingaiah’s research grant, her lab had to lay off young physician scientists, further limiting future scientific discoveries.

"She said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen. “I just kept repeating it — I’m a U.S.-born citizen. I was born and raised here. This is my home. My baby’s waiting for me...” She screamed “Leave me alone...” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too? A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

“I’d have no problem releasing the video” “I didn’t say that, you said that. Fake news.” 5 days apart 😬 (From @therecount.com )

♥️ “ICE looked at that school, saw a community standing up for families, and decided it wasn’t worth it.”

This is a perfect example as to why we need AI regulation yesterday. AI cannot be the arbiter of whether human beings can live or die. This is an excuse for insurance companies to fire human workers and make our healthcare system even more nightmarish for a quick buck.

Great financial crisis? You mean when the housing market collapsed, banks went under, our GDP sank, the working class lost trillions in net worth and unemployment soared? Seems like a repeat of the last time we tried to bully the world with isolationist tariffs. Not good.

My law firm is currently intervening to defend against this in the first 8 lawsuits DOJ filed. More soon.

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 children who get it.

Oh, look, just like Nixon’s enemies list from his "Political Enemies Project." They're lack of original ideas is astounding. I guess they're coming for all of us now.

DHS under Kristi Noem is in shambles. Under the Big Beautiful Bill Act, ICE’s budget ballooned to nearly $30 billion. And what does that get us? Bottom-of-the-barrel agents who only meet bare minimum standards.

They’re not hiding the brutality anymore. They want you to see it. They want you to get used to it.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

This is disgusting. There’s nothing clever or patriotic about it. It’s cruel, it’s un American, and it tells you everything you need to know about the people who think this is acceptable.

We're bringing in trillions in foreign investments.... All to ourselves.

Who has made this 🤣

The American people deserve to feel protected by their president. Not attacked by him.

Himes: "I think it's really important this video by made public ... it's important people see what it looks like when the full force of the US military is turned on two guys who are clinging to a piece of wood and about to go under just so they have a visceral feel for what it is we're doing"

I can't wait until the United States cleanses itself of all the ugly traces of Donald Trump. Take his name off buildings. Remove all the tacky gold bric-a-brac from the White House walls. Bulldoze his vulgar ballroom. Restore MLK, Jr Day and Juneteenth at parks. #Fumigate

"What we're witnessing is not reform. It's the hollowing out of an institution Americans rely on in every emergency. The actions will leave the country less prepared for the next foodborne illness cluster, maternal mortality crisis, or emerging pandemic." time.com/7338714/dr-d...

This is an excellent read. The more you know. #Science 🧪 “… we were advancing toward elimination of hepatitis B in the United States,” says Ward “I am deeply concerned that if the ACIP rescinds this policy, they’re going to contribute to the spread of hepatitis B rather than its elimination.”

There isn’t much for our Supreme Court to hear, the Constitution is already clear. And just to be absolutely clear: the Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.

Mike Johnson: "we've had one of the most productive Congresses in the history of the institution." (House GOP recently caused the longest government shutdown in US history and took a paid vacation for 54 days on your dime)

The Center for Disease Control can now officially be renamed the Center for Disease Communication Make no mistake: this is a vote to kill Americans for years to come www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/h...

The Biden Administration tried to prevent this and the Trump Administration cancelled it. Who really wins in this scenario? Tell me again how Trump is for the hard working Americans…

Police Chief Brian O’Hara has delivered a blunt message to his department: If an officer witnesses ICE agents using illegal force and fails to step in, they will be fired. 👏 👏 👏

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies. Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market. This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

Sabrina Carpenter made the White House delete their fuck ass tweet.

The CEO of Palantir.

The Golden Age.

@maddow.bsky.social I think we can make it even more terrible for Trump.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

For anyone who believes the private sector can replace public investment in science: no, it's never going to come close. It will never be cheaper to not have cures for diseases or to be beholden to someone for them. Health is a public service.

The White House has launched a webpage to report "media bias" tips. It would be a pity if it were flooded with tips about every show on Fox News. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

#Trump pardoned Tim Leiweke — who his own DOJ indicted in July for rigging a public university’s arena bid— It’s all a grift — Saudis to crypto to pardon seekers — everything gets turned into a revenue stream. With 1,500+ pardons already, clemency is a monetized market

CARTOON OF THE DAY

FLORIDA — Woman in scrubs: “I’m a U.S. citizen! Why are you doing this to me??”

The Trump Administration's latest rationale for killing striken seamen was that they knew that two men had survived the initial strike but that they "needed to sink the vessel" so they fired again. That is the EXACT same defense Heinz-Wilhelm Eck used after WWII. He was found guilty and executed.
