Worth Reading Bernie's Take.....

THIS 👇 HERE

Swalwell: He couldn't run a casino, and now he's going to run a country in South America while he fails to run a country in North America?

“I want the people of Venezuela to be free to choose their own future, “but if we learned anything from the Iraq war, it’s that dropping bombs or toppling a leader doesn’t guarantee democracy, stability, or make Americans safer.” - Sen. Mark Kelly www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

ICYMI: Today, the United States of America, under the direction of a mentally unstable president, attacked Venezuela, a sovereign nation, kidnapped its leader and his wife, and declared they are now running the country. It’s exactly as insane as it sounds.

FIFA: When we awarded Trump the FIFA Peace Prize, we forgot that we’re just a soccer organization— and that we don’t know the first thing about geopolitics, or utterly demented madmen.

Just wondering if anyone else is finding it at least slightly problematic that this administration is simply announcing its foreign policy via social media...?

Ah, the fucking hypocrisy.

Reminder: All People Had To Do Was Fill In A Little Oval Next To The Smart Black Lady’s Name.

US Southern Command chief General Laura Richardson said the truth out loud: the US focus in Latin America isn’t “DEMOCRACY” — it’s controlling OIL, LITHIUM, GOLD, and RARE EARTH MINERALS. Venezuela, with the largest oil reserves and key strategic resources, has long been the main target.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury:

The very same "president" that asked his generals if they could just shoot the American protesters in Washington D.C. during his first term.

This is not a Christian nation. It’s not a Jewish nation, and it’s not a Muslim nation. There is no state religion. It’s a secular nation. It’s a nation founded upon religious freedom. Grow up and quit spreading disinformation.

Applauding Judge Trina Thompson - "Unilateral power has never been American."

Nothing like a little end of year unity... "The Democrats are a bunch of cheaters and thieves that never want to do what’s good for America" -- DJ Chump on Tr Social

Good news! In a major win for consumers yesterday, a judge blocked Trump’s latest attempt to cut CFPB funding.🎉🎉🎉

"They love to say they protect children. They say it loudly, sanctimoniously. And then they protect predators. They let children starve. They slash aid. They gut funding for pediatric cancer research while bragging about ballrooms and marble and chandeliers." -JoJo from Jerz

A staffing crisis looms for nursing homes as the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration eliminates work authorization for immigrant employees who care for vulnerable seniors.

First they decided to strip nursing of its “professional” designation. Now they’re removing a requirement that ensured nursing homes receiving Medicare or Medicaid funding had an RN available 24/7. This regime doesn’t care about the elderly & disabled. This policy change will kill people.

But it's not one man. America WAS a democracy. The majority voted for hate, racism, revenge, retribution, exterminating brown people, death camps, child abduction, kiddie rape. It's exactly what they wanted and they are getting it all. They voted for a guy who promised they would never vote again.

It’s not “patriotic” to bail out Argentina while Americans are struggling, to build a ballroom while cutting SNAP benefits, or to pad your own pockets while claiming “affordability” is a hoax.

“You are not entitled to a response from us, or anyone, ever,” is what a US Education Department spokesperson wrote to one of our reporters, @megomatz.bsky.social, after she repeatedly tried to get comment from the department and its officials. My column on the condemnation of good journalism.

Next on the court docket "Is water wet?" While I applaud Judge Crenshaw for ordering a hearing on whether the Trump Administration's dogged persecution of Kilmar Obrega Garcia is illegal "vindictive prosecution" and realize that a judge needs to follow procedures, the answer is obvious.

THIS 👇 TOO

So if I understand the White House's position re: Epstein files it is that the files are all a Democrat hoax and also they provide a load of evidence that Democrats committed serious crimes. So that's cleared things up.

The DOJ is trying to get all your individualized voter data (including SS number, DOB, current and previous addresses, voting records, etc.) in order to intimidate and undermine elections. Please listen to this and re-post on all your social media. Email this video to you friends & family members.

Trump: “Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, & thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to ‘drop him like a dog’ when things got too HOT … Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas!”

So now we are attacking Nigeria?! Just another day in the life over here…!

If only we had an amendment to the Constitution that protected speech . . .

Pot calling the kettle black, mebbe? Chump Slams 'Miserable, Horrible People' in Audience While Hosting Kennedy Center Honors

On Monday, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen summoned the U.S. ambassador to Denmark, Ken Howery, for a meeting regarding Trump’s appointment and social media comments [about Greenland]. Only Chump could start a diplomatic incident with Denmark, of all places...🤷‍♀️

So glad we have our priorities straight...! "They'll be the fastest, the biggest, and by far 100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built..."

Fascism in America. #Fascism

Funding was pulled from the Academy of Pediatrics in retaliation for criticizing RFKjr. Programs for autism screening, mental health & rural care were cut. When ideology replaces medicine, our kids lose evidence-based care & public health becomes a loyalty test. #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

I'm am so sick of him

Good news - FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino will step down from his post next month. We can only hope Mr P will follow suit!

Head of random state: "we are the hottest country in the world." Who talks this way? Seriously?

Listening to this most ludicrous address...Proud as punch to be a "sinister woke radical" is all I can say!

We are sick of it! Especially when it’s all about lining their pockets! That all that matters to them! Thank you so much for including me in your incredible starter pack, my friend @filosia.bsky.social 💙💙🙏🙏

ProPublica reported that the Environmental Protection Agency announced it is nearly doubling the amount of formaldehyde it considers safe to breathe... Lobbyists for the chemical industry have been working to water down government regulation of it for years.

An unarmed Muslim fruit peddler stopped the anti-Jewish gunman in Australia. It’s almost never a good guy with a gun because good guys don’t carry guns.
