I don’t understand why these particular people think they would be spared

Most Americans don’t have faith that their political leaders care what they have to say. So, we asked them what messages they'd have for Trump and Democratic leaders if they did have the chance to speak their mind. New polling here: www.cnn.com/2025/12/24/p...

What do people like Scott Bessent, Peter Thiel and Bari Weiss think would happen if the day ever came that the bigots got everybody who isn’t white and right-leaning out of the country (which won’t happen)? They think it would then be a harmonious union of non-woke white folks, gay and straight?

If you want to stop hatred and bigotry against YOUR “group,” you first must stand against hatred and bigotry against everyone else. Because all hatred travels together.

When Michael Flynn has more common sense than most of the people who are surrounding Trump. Wow. He’s right about something. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

CBS News capitulated but Democracy Docket never will. I created it without corporate backers, venture capitalists or private equity investors. It's only accountable to its members who help support its 22-person team. Become one now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Nobody disenfranchises and cheats more than than the NC GOP.

North Carolina lawmakers have attempted to transfer control or partial control of at least 29 boards, entities or important executive powers in the past decade that had previously been under control of the governor. By @dougbockclark.bsky.social

A report from three organizations, analyzing data from Kansas and Arizona, posits that citizenship laws are costly, error-prone and disenfranchise voters. Plus, citizenship is already a requirement to vote nationwide. via @kansasreflector.com

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo was a normie—until he met his wife and a guru into levitating and communicating with spirits.

The horrific materials in the Epstein files—combined with a chaotic release and a politicized Department of Justice—are a "recipe for inspiring potent distrust and resentment," @cwarzel.bsky.social argues:

The condescension and moral preening are getting all the glory in this email, but don’t sleep on the new head of CBS News declaring that the last 7 days were a “slow news week.”

If you look at the Gallup poll released this week and look at Trump’s approval from people of different political parties, one thing jumps out. Trump’s approval by party: Republicans: 89% Independents: 25% Democrats: 3% Independents are WAY closer to Dems than GOP. news.gallup.com/poll/700241/...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “The files have been released in a way that seems to be designed to maximize the arguing, give succor to conspiracy-mongers and minimize the illumination of what happened,” writes Molly Jong-Fast.

I've been watching 60 Minutes longer than you have been alive, Bari. You are *not* winning back Americans' trust in the press. Bari Weiss drops Christmas Eve email to staff defending 60 Minutes decision to ‘win back’ Americans’ trust in press | The Independent […]

i would remind anyone that if you used twitter since like mid 2024 you've legally consented to grok training and modifying your art. if you didn't know this, now you do. if you need twitter for a living, limit what you upload but otherwise just leave

In the 60 Minutes controversy, Weiss is likely doing what she always does: producing a line of propaganda masquerading as news coverage that serves the interest of her patrons–in this case, David Ellison, whose interests are served by protecting Donald Trump. https://bit.ly/45bGW9m

When the Trump administration began to root out “illegal” DEI efforts, it opened the door to funding cuts for would-be offenders. This created a “chilling effect through fear, intimidation and confusion,” said one lawyer. By @emsimani.bsky.social, design by @zisiga.bsky.social

What does this person know about journalism, investigations, the TV news industry, etc? This is like me trying to coach an NFL team and lecturing the professional athletes “the thing you must all learn is to score more points than you allow the other team to score. Hey, pay attention!”

Everybody knows that Trump is unwell. But, still. Wow. www.mediaite.com/politics/tru...

Gary Friedman, the American chairman and CEO of Restoration Hardware, was another of this year’s biggest losers. His fortune fell by an estimated $1.2 billion, to around $850 million, as shares of RH sank by 55% in 2025, due in large part to President Trump’s tariffs. www.forbes.com/sites/asia-a...

Merry Christmas from ??? and Melania….

I’ve been following Marc and his work for years, as his law firm got involved in my state when trump tried to steal the vote, a couple of times/ways. HE WON EVERY TIME! He’s extremely credible, reliable and DEDICATED 100% to democracy. He’s the REAL DEAL.

Trumpf = projection. He's such a loser

Ain’t it funny to see a guy with a 36% approval talking about other peoples ratings?

“Like Prime, but with human beings.”

Ohio legislators passed a law ending the state’s practice of counting mail ballots that are postmarked prior to Election Day but that arrive up to four days after polls. This is a priority for President Trump, and the state is following his lead.

‘How Is This Real?’ Joe Rogan Says Trump Needs a ‘Right-Hand Man’ To Stop Him From More Embarrassing Antics Mediaite

JUST IN: CBS’s Kennedy Center Honors just hit an all-time ratings low. Preliminary Nielsen data shows only ~2.65M viewers tuned in to the Trump-hosted show, down from 4.1M in 2024. A stunning 35% year-over-year collapse.

This man has made a lucrative living for decades now by seeming to be the dumbest person ever to sit in front of a camera. It’s almost impressive. www.mediaite.com/politics/wha...

I don’t wanna sound partisan but I think it’s bad when the president keeps raging publicly about free speech and late night comedy he doesn’t like and threatening state censorship all the time, and also using language that is easily construed as calling for someone’s death

In Steven Miller's world there is absolutely no way on God's green earth that a black person or a woman could be the best qualified person for the job. I feel like he definitely has a plaque in his office that reads "If you're white, you're right. And if you're black, get back"

DK Metcalf would have been better off had he punched his own bank account. www.si.com/nfl/dk-metca...

JD Vance says he wants the Republican Party to be a big tent ... Big enough to hold a Nuremberg Rally. But as the Republican Party, and the fully Trumped Heritage Foundation, ever more openly embraces bigotry - and particularly antisemitism - there are some initial rumblings of discontent.

These guys are racist fanatics. Going after the concept of people being together like a rabid dog on a bone.

A legal group cofounded by Stephen Miller filed a federal complaint with the EEOC this month against the NFL 49ers over DEI. Miller-cofounded group re Niners: “merit is apparently tossed aside for woke ideology.” Niners are 11-4, vying for No. 1 seed in NFC. www.impactivize.org/impactivizer...

Khanna: You’ve got the DOJ releasing the names of survivors—which they are not allowed to do by law—but not releasing the FBI interview files with those same survivors. Those FBI interviews contain the names of other men: Wall Street tycoons and politicians…

Schumer: The law was written very clearly, and it did not allow all these redactions—this blacking out of everything. It did not say you can dribble them out over a period of months. These guys are full of shit. They should simply release it all now.

Garcia: They are, on one hand, putting names of survivors in these documents that are not redacted. And in these same documents, they're taking extra time and being extra careful to redact the names of the coconspirators

I’m sure conservatives and MAGA will roundly denounce this threat of government censorship and attack on free speech.

The people who profited most from the cancel culture/free speech panic were less interested in actual freedom of speech than establishing their own control over public discourse. You don't even have to take my word for it. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

O come, all ye faithful. The President is posting.

"Even Putin doesn't name classes of ships after himself. Kim Jong-un doesn't name — I mean this is crazy," Tom Nichols tells Tim Miller. "We're gonna run around in circles because this unhinged old man, you know, wants to have a ship with his name on it."

Trump has been back in office for only 11 months and 4 days. And, already, the countries who have been our allies for decades now hate us. And our enemies know that we’re not anywhere as powerful as we were when we had strong allies. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...
