This is INSANE www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/t... and these are our closest allies!

WHAT THE FUCK of course they did this - dropped free on those days but now free on "Yam Tits Day" 🥴 www.nytimes.com/2025/12/08/t...

🚨BREAKING: More than 300,000 Missourians have signed a petition demanding that the gerrymander be put to a statewide referendum, advocacy organization People Not Politicians announced as it delivered those signatures to the state government Tuesday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

NASA revealed they found some of the building blocks of life in a sample brought back from an asteroid (on a University of Arizona-led mission, by the way). It raises some big questions about whether there’s other life somewhere out there in the universe. According to my math, probably.

Americans are struggling to pay their bills and afford groceries, and we've got a President who is asleep at the wheel.

Trump’s worldview is one of winners and losers. Always has been. His new National Security Strategy picks Russia, China, authoritarians, his friends and his family as the winners. Do you know who Trump decided the losers are? You and your family and our safety.

If you’re a billionaire or one of Trump’s family members, then this economy is great. For everyone else, prices are up, wages are flat, and families are getting screwed.

Last night, the @dailybeanspod.com donated $10K to the Stonewall Inn Gives Back initiative. We will continue to loudly support communities this administration puts in harm’s way.

Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally." The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"

The Democrat in Miami just defeated the Republican ICE cheerleader for mayor. Turns out even in Florida, people are tired of cruelty masquerading as leadership. Republicans had held this seat for the last three decades. Let that…sink in.

I’m not accepting a dime of corporate PAC money. Why? We need to rebuild trust in our politics. And the people you serve shouldn’t wonder who you really work for.

We are HIRING. If you want to use your skills to help keep Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat blue – we want you on our team!

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"

Wow -- Russia reportedly plotted last year to plant bombs on US-bound flights (gift link) giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

CBP goon in Florida forcefully took a man’s phone from his hands, threw it, and then proceeded to taunt him.

Reminder: If you'd be happy with EITHER Rep. Talarico *or* Rep. Crockett as the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas, you can donate to *whoever* the eventual nominee ends up being here: secure.actblue.com/donate/senat...

Given the high suicide rates for veterans, cutting mental health and suicide prevention jobs at the Veterans Administration is UNCONSCIONABLE. The Trump administration is full of incompetent, hateful monsters.

It has come to my attention that The Professor is not 8 months old as previously thought but not quite 4 months old. Barely out of graduate school.

Malcom Nance interview is a MUST Listen! Thanks again Dahlia!! music.youtube.com/watch?v=PsCK...

🇬🇧 🇺🇸 WATCH — @mrjamesob.bsky.social: “I’m going to say this slowly… The President of The United States of America has sided with Putin against the United Kingdom. He has put the whole of Europe in the crosshairs.”

💯This superficial commentary drives me up a wall. She’s brilliant and a real firecracker.

Indiana Republicans are under significant pressure to do something they know is wrong: rig the maps and silence voters. Washington Republicans are demanding a "9–0 map." That’s not democracy - that’s cheating. They know it, and they’re ashamed, which is why they’re hesitating.

Trump didn’t just wage a war on kids — he’s coming for Medicaid and CHIP, ripping away the care children rely on to survive and grow. Families are already drowning in costs, and now their kids’ lifelines are on the chopping block. #TrumpInflationCrisis open.substack.com/pub/thejenni...

More of this !!

A MAGA grandpa in Wyoming called 911 and told the operator to “call ICE” on an Amazon delivery driver simply for speaking Spanish. “There’s this guy in front of my house who can’t speak English. You need to call ICE on him.”

Torture in broad daylight, for all the world to see. These ICE goons have NO fear of repercussions. NONE!!!!!🤷🏻‍♀️

🚨Graphic ICE Content Warning 👹Lucifer, Beelzebub, Satan & Mephistopheles all converged for this kind of evil intentional shit to happen! 🤬This is a one way ticket straight to hell! Don’t pass go, don’t collect $200 & no 🤬 hand basket!

ICE stormed a residence hall at Augsburg University, detained an undergrad, and aimed rifles at students and staff then admitted they had no warrant to be on campus. This is state violence. This is terror. And this is exactly what Trump’s America unleashes on our communities.

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

In fact, most of the "alternative" bills being tossed around by Congressional Republicans are designed to push people into plans with THE HIGHEST DEDUCTIBLES & OUT OF POCKET COSTS POSSIBLE (entry-level Bronze & Catastrophic plans).

The Ellison family’s desire to take over Warner Bros should alarm anyone concerned with U.S. propaganda & media consolidation— They would own Paramount, Warner Bros, CNN, CBS, HBO, TikTok & a host of major cable channels

Too many albums later and this is still my favorite song. #swiftie

Diego Luna just received a Golden Globe nomination for his role in the Star Wars show Andor. What can Andor teach us about fighting tyranny? A lot, actually. Watch.

The next Democratic administration should expand the court. There’s no other way to redeem SCOTUS at this point.

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

The court will decide whether to overturn Humphrey’s Executor v. United States, a 90-year old precedent that limits presidents’ power to fire some officials.

The people running the Department of the Interior and the USDA are trying to put our public lands into a death spiral so they can sell them off to the highest bidder; whether that be a land developer or a logger, they don’t care.

Republicans want to sell off our public land!

The nomination has reignited a fight over the management of public lands which was highlighted during negotiations over Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” due to proposed amendments to sell off federal land.

Americans need a real steward for our public lands. Steve Pearce, Trump’s pick to lead the BLM, isn’t one. He opposed environmental protections and pushed to sell public lands when he was in Congress. Our public lands are NEVER for sale. I'm a NO on his nomination.

@repespaillat.bsky.social, @velazquez.house.gov, & I introduced the Immigration Court Due Process Protection Act to stop DHS from ambushing immigrants who are showing up to their hearings and appointments. No more fear at the courthouse. No more separating families. Everyone deserves due process.

Yes please.

Why is Jared Kushner involved and why does Trump think he gets a say in it?

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors. New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett is running for US Senate. youtu.be/W-Pe1GifYLs?...
