The women in this 1964 photo of Beatles fans (yes, that's what they used) could not get a credit card at Bank of America without their husband or father cosigning. So, no. The answer, CBS and Bank of America, is no.

FLASHBACK… Seems relevant today…

Montage of Howard Lutnick over the past 9 months constantly moving the goalposts on when the economy is going to be booming - 4Q! 1Q! 2Q! 1 year! He was asked in March when it wasn’t going to be Biden’s fault anymore: “We own the economy in the 4th quarter!”

🚨In London, I interviewed Imran Khan’s sons Kasim and Sulaiman about their father’s detention, which they call torture, and the role of Trump and the UK government, and much more. Check it out. Preview clips below. Full Zeteo interview: zeteo.com/p/imran-khan...

a nice time to revisit this

I read through these (more in the comments) and hoped maybe this was some cheeky lefty publication that went looking for the most extremist nuts they could find to make the right look bad. Nope. It’s City Journal, published by the far right Manhattan Institute. Horrifying.

PITTSBURGH — Trump’s racist ice goons repeatedly punch a man in the face on camera www.instagram.com/reel/DSb2rPX...

In new public remarks, Putin notes that Trump’s new strategic plan for US foreign policy aligns with Russia over NATO allies.

There are a lot of stories like this that seem not to effect the overall narrative of the war for some odd reason. www.theconcis.com/p/novorossiy...

So evil

Key Epstein fact: the anticommunist zealots who led Iran-Contra merged with the KGB network that pillaged the USSR to establish Putin and his oligarchs. Epstein and Robert Maxwell were embedded in both networks.

When the official policy of the government has become “ this must be fake, you’re too brown to be American” it’s time to stop pretending that this will all just go back to normal

Hello, Elon Musk! Just a couple of questions for you:

HHS has abruptly terminated 7 grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics for initiatives such as reducing sudden infant deaths, improving adolescent health, preventing fetal alcohol syndrome, and early detection of autism.

It almost goes without saying, but this is illegal. The name "John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts" is established by law and the board doesn't have the power to change it. 20 USC 3 §§ 76h - 76s.

Rep. Joyce Beatty sets the record straight after Trump's mouthpiece, Karoline Leavitt, tried to claim renaming The Kennedy Center was unanimous.

This made me genuinely laugh out loud.

Trumpsters trying to dismantle the Atmospheric Research Center for his polluter donors is like trying to turn off the fire alarms to protect the arsonists. The corruption is unbelievable.

Listen to Donald Trump pressure Georgia House Speaker David Ralston to overturn the 2020 election. Trump: Who's gonna stop you for that?" Ralston: "A federal judge... I want Donald Trump to remain the president. If there's any way that we can possibly help in that regard, I'm on board."

They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.

These are our most impressive institutions and crucial for our survival as a people and a species.

How the Trump “National Security Strategy” is read abroad.

Rand Paul: "We've never in our past decided just to shoot smugglers who are unarmed without even proof they're smuggling anything. So I think this is a horrendous thing that should stop. I think it's illegal & immoral... the kids in the military - I'm not for sending them down there to die for oil"

Ahhhh… So Trump took billions from troop housing and gave it to them as “bonuses” - Got it. A con artist to the end. www.defenseone.com/policy/2025/...

“When the German nation was, thanks to the inflation instigated and carried through by Jews, deprived of the entire savings which it had accumulated in years of honest work..when we were divested of the whole of our colonial possessions” Adolf Hitler, 1939 There’s not much difference

It was never about illegal immigration

Notice that the parts of Trump's economic program that help working and middle class Americans — DOGE checks, tariff rebates, and warrior dividends — are popular, progressive, and non-existent. Tax cuts for the rich are unpopular, regressive and very very real.

“The Trump administration’s policies on illegal and legal immigration would reduce the projected number of workers in the United States by 6.8 million by 2028 and by 15.7 million by 2035 and lower the annual rate of economic growth by almost one-third.” www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Here's Trump judicial nominee Justin Olson today, admitting than in 2015, he gave a sermon in which he said that “marriage was not intended for all people,” including “our handicapped friends or our persons with physical disabilities that might prevent the robust marriage that we’re called to.”

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

Trump’s dismantling of climate research center is a ‘destruction of knowledge,’ critics say

Massie: "This is about oil and regime change"

Trump has added new plaques under his ‘presidential walk of fame’ in the White House. On Obama: “Barack Hussein Obama was the first Black President…One of the most divisive political figures in American history.” On Biden: “Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History...”

I'm told that HHS has just terminated all funding agreements with the American Academy of Pediatrics. Here's a letter HHS sent canceling one of the grants, relating to work on birth defects. Canceled because the project "emphasizes equity, diversity, and inclusion as key foundational components"

Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

🔥 @repmcgovern.bsky.social rattles off all the times Trump said he was about to produce a health care plan but never did

Markey to Carr: "Journalists were covering an important news stories and some conservatives were upset by the coverage, so you used your power as FCC chair to hang a Sword of Damocles over a local radio station's head. That's precisely what you warned about in 2022!"

This used to be Tulsi Gabbard.

🧑‍🌾 Hey remember when rep. rusty grills (R) tried to protect pesticide companies from lawsuits from sick Tennessee farmers, but bipartisan pushback stopped it? Remember this when he tries again: www.mlive.com/news/2025/12...

The Republican propaganda that Trump “inherited” a bad economy from Biden and is making it better is the exact opposite of true. The numbers don’t lie and people know what they are experiencing.

"No similarity between the clear-thinking, self-governing stocks that sired the American people and this stream of irresponsible and broken wreckage that is pouring into the lifeblood of America the social and political diseases of the Old World." Sound familiar? newrepublic.com/article/2041...

We are failing our kids

It was never about the drugs (Fentanyl doesn’t come from Venezuela) www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/u...

Boris & Sofia Gurman, 69 & 61, have been identified as the couple who heroically tried to stop the terrorist as he exited his car, before he opened fire at the Hanukkah celebration in Bondi Beach After several minutes of struggle,the gunman overpowered them, regained his weapon & shot both of them💔

MINNEAPOLIS: “We kept yelling ‘she’s pregnant! She’s pregnant!’ — they put their knees in her… the handcuffed woman was dragged on the ground…” Lawless.

The Trump admin, in its quest to eliminate the entire concept of asylum from the law and get rid of all asylum applicants without hearing their cases, wants to deport a Chinese dissident to Uganda, despite the fact that he has a slam-dunk asylum claim.
