My favorite part of SNL is all the hugging at the end. Like why is Colin bro bear hugging Role Model guy? Not sure but who cares. Here for it.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Every day at noon, no matter how busy, Johny Merida Aguilar left his construction job and hurried to his 5-year-old son's school to feed him. His son has brain cancer and generally only accepts food from his father. Merida Aguilar was arrested by ICE in September and faces deportation to Bolivia.

This Is Fascism

I needed this today.

"Stalinism and Stephen Miller: Cause for concern" (video) snyder.substack.com/p/stalinism-...

To Be or Not to Be (Lubitsch, 1942)

In this video I run through all of the big voting and democracy cases the Supreme Court will hear this term and what we need to be watching for. youtu.be/0iKo6YdLxhA

👏👏👏

$47. And that’s if the government isn’t lying about the interest rate. Plus, they will have to prove she intentionally schemed to swindle $47 from the bank - as opposed to just not knowing the difference between a second home and an investment property. Good luck, Lindsay.

Stay strong, stay beautiful, Chicago. c

This is bullshit and anyone that was supposedly so focused on us cutting out costs should be pissed.

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is. You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

Imagine that

Just one thing. Give us just ONE thing to find hope in!!! 😡

Perhaps hundreds of millions in total—will be spent on deployments to Chicago, Portland, and Memphis, if Trump’s plans for those cities proceed. The deployments could wind up costing Americans roughly two-thirds of a billion dollars. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

María Corina Machado, a U.S.-backed Venezuelan opposition figure, has received the Nobel Peace Prize. “They didn't give it to Donald Trump, but they seem to have given it to the next best thing," says historian Greg Grandin.

Immigrant Nobel Prize winners exiting the United States

This is wonderful!

Nobel Peace Prizes have often been awarded to people who fight autocracy. Maria Corina Machado fits right into that tradition www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

She never asked for it and when she receives it she immediately thinks it should be shared with her people. And that’s exactly why she DOES deserve it. 👏👏👏

🔥 🚨🔥 Meet Randy Erwin. Randy is the president of the National Federation of Federal Employees — a union representing ~ 150k employees across the country. We need more RANDY ERWIN ENERGY in this country! Sound ⬆️ & Share. 1/2

BREAKING: A judge blocks the deployment of National Guard troops in the Chicago area for two weeks.

“Very, very unfair and even worse than Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl. Your favorite president was snubbed for someone who’s not even American.” www.reuters.com/world/venezu...

All of those indiscriminate blowing up of Venezuelan boats make more sense now. 🙄 Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, Nobel Peace Prize winner.

“She is receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just & peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.” The Nobel Committee underscores exactly why an aspiring dictator like Trump cannot win.

Did #Trump already send his congratulations to Maria Corina Machado for winning the Nobel Peace Prize 2025?

How #Trump f$cked up the #Economy! www.wsj.com/economy/fede...

Shit is so bad that the best American news of the week is that Dolly Parton didn't die.

America is not building enough housing and Americans are facing sky-high housing costs as a result. Today, the Senate took a historic step to change that. The ROAD to Housing Act will help communities – urban, suburban, and rural – build more housing and bring down costs.

In the middle of a government shutdown—while millions of Americans face down dramatic increases in their health care premiums—the Senate just voted to send another $900 BILLION to our already bloated pentagon budget. Disgusting.

Context matters

Welp, here it is: maybe the funniest thing we've ever done, in its entirety.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

Did anyone else see this today and wonder wtf happened? Oopsie, Stephen.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast. But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

Rep. @aoc.bsky.social RT’ed this 👀

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless. And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

NEWS: The United States is deploying about 200 troops to Israel to help support and monitor the ceasefire deal in Gaza, U.S. officials said Thursday. (AP)

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Praying that the latest developments in the Middle East will lead to the real results we all hope to see: an end to the suffering and destruction, the return of all remaining hostages, and meaningful beginnings toward a lasting peace.
