My theory is that Trump has always used stimulants and they no longer work well enough to mask his cognitive decline and age related problems which were always there www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

What makes this article of a traumatic childhood as the child of a violent drunk who killed somebody is that it’s pitched throughout as being very positive.

Mark Kelly is not the guy to go after. His list of credentials and achievements is longer than Trumps red tie

If Pete Hegseth calls a video "despicable, reckless, and false” because it factually states service members shouldn’t obey illegal orders and President Trump calls acknowledging facts, “seditious behavior, punishable by death” is it reasonable to ask what place does law and order have in America?

Soldiers can follow the Law by Arresting Trump Hegseth and everyone who is a member of this Vile Regime and everyone who serves it knowing that they are wrong

Technically, he said to not follow illegal orders, then Trump and Hegseth said that it's illegal to tell people to not follow illegal orders. And then the robot clones melted down.

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this #WestPoint plaque. It contains these words Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law That is precisely what Senator @captmarkkelly.bsky.social told officers to do.

'An ordinary president, Kelly told us on Tuesday afternoon, would have responded to the video by affirming that troops should of course follow lawful orders. “But not this guy,” he added. “We basically said, ‘Follow the law.’ And he said, ‘Kill them.’”' www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

We are so grateful for our fellow Feds, the ones speaking up boldly, and the ones doing the small quiet things. Thank you! #FEMA #gratitude #united #altgov

It’s so very easy to get caught up in the constant firehose of bad news, bad actions, bad actors. It’s a lot. We decided this we truly want to stop and pause and focus on the good. There’s always light in the dark. Thank you! #FEMA #gratitude #united #altgov

Trump is using DOJ to target Democrats like NY AG Tish James, NJ Rep McIver, Adam Schiff, Act Blue, Indivisible and now six Dems in Congress. And what has been the Democratic response? Angry social media posts. It's past time Dem AG's start charging Republican officials and organizations!

A reminder, as Trump boasts about having "never worked so hard in my life" that he is playing golf more often now than he did in his first term and in less than five years has already played golf more often than Obama did in eight. www.pbump.net/o/an-officia...

NY Times finally addresses Trump's cognitive decline/ dementia! One BIG point about Trump: "Most of his public appearances fall between noon and 5 p.m., on average." As Dr. John Gartner told me that window will get smaller as Trump gets worse day by day. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

Look, Biden never did this. Never.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff isn’t working for the US, or for humanity. He’s working for Vladimir Putin. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

How has support for political violence in America shifted over the past year and who has the highest levels of support? My new piece at @brookings.edu provides answers by comparing data from #NoKings2.0 with a national survey fielded right after: www.brookings.edu/articles/wha...

Why don’t people believe them when they tell us what they intend to do? Their purpose was to destroy…and create chaos.

Heritage Fdtn et al have planned and schemed on this since the Reagan years... See: Project 2025, only latest iteration of the "Mandate for Leadership" effort begun back then... goal: destroy the regulatory state, hobble whatever govt remains... They and their funders are celebrating...

Decades of repair, our entire administrative state is electronically compromised.

They also killed hundreds of thousands of people in struggling nations by shutting off aid. I assume that was one of DOGE'S key goals: mass murder.

That is absolutely correct. They succeeded quickly at pulling the loadbearing systems that our country operated via and the basis of our global security.

Yeah, also, Musk's chainsawing of USAID was a eugenicist project above all else.

Agree. It was totally a ruse to steal out info while the Trump klan walked away with billions of dollars. Elon got what he wanted. Billions in govt contracts & all of our info. We haven't begun to feel the brunt of this crisis. It's only the beginning.

The rest of my life (early fifties). We will not recover from this in the rest of my life.

It was only a failure if you assume they ever had good intentions. If you assume they intended to destroy the federal government from within, they succeeded. We’ll be dealing with the results of this monumental breach of the federal government for many years to come.

It says a lot about our country that the FBI had no interest in interviewing Brett Kavanaugh but wants to talk to Mark Kelly.

NEW: 20 million Americans face health care premium spikes. Trump briefly floated a fix, but House Republicans instantly revolted. @citizencohn.bsky.social dives into the GOP’s health care chaos and the abortion fight now threatening any deal in The Breakdown. lnk.thebulwark.com/3LZ5Hz0?utm_...

“No one who doesn’t stand to gain supports this.” NASHVILLE’s Senator Oliver disputes Boring Company CEO Steve Davis saying they’ve been doing “max transparency” on the Teslas-only Tunnel with “50 community meetings” & “universally positive” feedback: www.instagram.com/p/DRdz3rVDeP...

Trump, Hegseth, and Republicans think their meltdown shows strength, but it’s the opposite. They’re showcasing decorated Democratic veterans like Mark Kelly who make them look small and petty. They should pay more attention to lowering grocery prices than ridiculous threats of court-martialing.

New interview! www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9y9...

Maybe instead of talking about the cowardice of the elites we should be talking about how they are the problem and how it’s time to stop asking them to be better people.

Republicans hitting the all caps Panic button in TN-7 Fitting that the swampiest of all would call on them to “swamp the vote”

Impeachment confession

Is there anything more American than skimming obscene amounts of money off of a charity purported to exist to help the disadvantaged? Well, churches have, too! Franklin Graham gives himself $720,000/year from one of his charities called "Samaritan's Purse," with, clearly, the emphasis on the purse.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Putin’s Bitch is the enemy to democracies around the world but especially at home. The orange rat bastard hates democracy and loves despots. He’s proud to be called a fascist.

The reason that he’s been acting like this with Russia - I bet it’s similar to the reason that he acts like this with the Israeli conduct of their way on Palestinians. I really do think that the intelligence services for both of those countries have something incredibly damaging on him.

Nobody trusts us now. I don’t and I live here.

what does that mean by giving back? Ukraine took nothing from Russia

The president and his special envoy are primarily concerned with finding a way to make Putin happy by providing a sufficient reward for his brutal and sadistic war of aggression. We have become a country that sells out our friends and embraces the worst people on the planet.

“We’re living in a country where we have people who literally can’t afford to breathe.”

The pain of coming to Washington with a sense of mission, only to be subjected to repeated censure votes and strong-arming from the White House, is taking a toll, and providing lawmakers with an easy excuse to seek employment elsewhere. lnk.thebulwark.com/3XOpLXg

The Tennessee race that suddenly has Trump world nervous

Trump on leaked Bloomberg audio of Steve Witkoff coaching Russian policy minister Yuri Ushakov to manipulate him: "That's a standard thing. I haven't heard it, but I heard it was standard negotiation."

We’d like to end today with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt: We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it as not as dreadful as it appears, discovering that we have the strength to stare it down. Just keep going. Goodnight, heroes.
