I'm sure this is much nicer over the harbor, but this lovely sky greeted me as I raised the shades this AM And of course I couldn't help but think, red skies in the morning, sailor's fair warning

Today, in the Sunday print NYT, we published an investigative look at Harold Hamm, the 13th child of Oklahoma sharecroppers who started an oil company named Continental, which turned him into a billionaire, powerbroker and friend of Donald J. Trump. You may never have heard of Hamm. But you should

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it. They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Happy Hanukkah

Wow: Harris County Democratic officials voted Sunday 186 to 80 to bar Houston Mayor John Whitmire from seeking the party's endorsement over his handling of ICE and appearing at a fundraiser for Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Tx) Story by @fbugenhagen.bsky.social: www.chron.com/politics/art...

What the hell? My disdain and disgust for every Congressional Republican is complete. There is no reasonable explanation for allowing this to continue. The next flight may go down and they will be responsible. As will every Dem that votes Yes on any bill. Impeach Now apnews.com/article/vene...

Has anyone tried to explain to the owner of the Washington Post that, hey, money is not everything.

Turns out the right wing fever dreams about “jackbooted government thugs” are real. It’s just that it’s them.

😳🇺🇸

Whoa!

Come on. Enough with the penalties @patriotsnfl.bsky.social

i am once again asking who the "leftist extremists in the faculty lounge" shaping democratic party priorities are, and what policies it is that they are instituting

reminder that when trump met with the parkland kids after their school was shot up he needed a staff-written cheat sheet to coach him on how to look like he possessed normal human empathy www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018...

As a person with PTSD from witnessing a shooting murder: News outlets *autoplaying* mass shooting footage on social media without CWs are doing so much harm. We have consumed so violent content that’s deeply corrosive to the brain. It’s our responsibility to ensure we disseminate it appropriately.

That was a beautiful throw. Great knock away by Buffalo.

The world needs a lot more heroes like Ahmed al Ahmed and a lot fewer bullies in masks cosplaying alpha male hero boy

Go Pats!

If you want gun reform after another senseless shooting, support groups bringing in young candidates We've forced them to live through school shooting after school shooting. Maybe they can change things #Brown leaderswedeserve.com votersoftomorrow.org @runforsomething.net squareonepolitics.org

This is because Nate Silver has 300K subscribers on Substack and Heather Cox Richardson has 2.7M. Mediocre men CAN'T STAND successful women, and even blame them for their own failures. Pathetic.

STOP this now @housedemocrats.bsky.social @whitehouse.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov Do you not get that handing this administration more power is BAD? This is dangerous and wrong It helps no one and hurts many. It's beyond reason you'd be doing this now

I am a student at Brown in communication with a friend at RIBC. There is an urgent need for blood donations to support RI. Donations in NY, NJ, MN, NB, DE or NJ can help supply RI. Spread the word. www.ribc.org/donate-blood/

My heart is with Brown University and the City of Providence, and I’m praying for everyone impacted by this tragic act of violence. The Mass State Police are in close contact with Rhode Island officials and I’ve been in touch with @govdanmckee.bsky.social to offer our full support and assistance.

URGENT: I need a Minneapolis immigration attorney for a client in the hospital and likely detained by ICE. If anyone here has contacts with someone, or better yet practices in this area, please reach out to me via DM.

Its kind of insulting just how stupid they think everyone is

Tyson is shutting down its Lexington, Nebraska plant in January 2026. That’s 3,200 workers gone in one shot, the largest plant shutdown in company history. Blame Trump’s tariff chaos and the lowest cattle inventories in decades. Tariffs jack up costs. Supply shrinks. Plants close. Towns hollow out.

Jfc. Senator John Hoffman reports ICE took the owners of crumbs and coffee in BP this morning and left the building unlocked with money on the counter.

🤷🏼 ⏰ Trump’s Heath care plan is coming “very soon” y’all (From Home of the Brave)

I agree this is huge, but the much bigger story is that he's done the same thing to this Republican Congress and this Republican Congress submitted THAT is the story. Looks worse (if that's possible) against the backdrop of Indiana Republicans holding the line

Come on @nbcnews.com Have you no creativity? Or any sense of irony? How about: Ted 'Mexico' Cruz, Senator for TX, the lead champion for states rights, stands by while Donald Trump signs likely illegal order that would trample a state's right to protect its citizens

This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.

People are finally realizing the emperor has no clothes, never had clothes and pockets the clothes money Soon they'll see their representatives in Congress lied to save their jobs, instead of doing their jobs. Not one has the strength of an Indiana state rep. Thank you Indiana Republicans

First @moulton.house.gov, why are you voting yes on ANY Republican legislation? They attack citizens in streets, murder people on seas & kill children by ending vaccines. Don't help them Second, don't vote yes on bad bills period. I donate to LeadersWeDeserve.com w/ every Dem Yes vote

HEY! I need you guys on board to help protect the internet. I've been doing my part, but I am finally tapped out of my energy. Please head to badinternetbills.com and help us contact all representatives to say NO to these censorship bills! Follow @fightforthefuture.org to stay updated!

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra said DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers: “We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.” (Published Oct.)

His lowest ever approval was 34% just after January 6th. He's now tied with his 2nd lowest approval rating ever.

If Trump has Alzheimer's, and anyone in his cabinet knew about it and kept it quiet, they need to face charges. We can't let that go unpunished. That includes any doctor that released false statements I have no idea what kind of diagnosis he's facing. But it's obvious he's not well

FUN FACT: Indiana constituents made 6000 calls via 5 Calls to oppose this redistricting bill. That's the largest number of state-level calls on an issue we have seen this year. 🤓📞🙌

this was a really powerful approach to questioning noem—bringing the actual people impacted by her reign of terror. from her perch it's easy to see these cases as abstractions but she needs to be confronted with them at every turn.

Oh by the way also Trump lost one in the House today - 20 Republicans voted with the Dems to pass a bill to restore federal worker union rights Trump tried to remove with an exec order. Came to the House floor via a discharge petition.

If you're an American University faculty, staff, student or alumni, please sign our AAUP statement opposing the trump compact. The pressure is still coming--there are now individualized compacts brewing. And we fear our president has wobbly knees.

Weren't we supposed to get the rest of the Epstein files today?

I guess he heard tourism squeaked back up this fall. Can't have anything positive happen with the economy. Then what would he lie about? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/t...

CONFIRMED: Eileen Higgins, a Democrat, will be the new mayor of Miami. She'll be the city's first Democratic mayor since the 1990s. She flipped the office from Republicans, and does so easily. She leads the DeSantis-endorsed Emilio González 59/41 right now with most ballots counted.

Illinois, in the face of cruelty and intimidation, has chosen solidarity and support. That should not be overlooked. Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, and Gregory Bovino tried to appeal to our lesser instincts — but the best of us are standing up to the worst of them.
