Christmas in the East Wing, 2023. 🎄

NASHVILLE - TN HS Dems Tennessee High School Dems deliver a petition to Senator @MarshaBlackburn to stop the just-announced government partnership forcing TP USA chapters into every school in Tennessee. (“to stop far right extremism”)

SCOTUS tells Trump no on deployment of Illinois Nat’l Guard, finding a valid exception to the Posse Comitatus Act doesn’t exist. Huge loss for the Trump Administration. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

😕🇺🇸

What would Jesus do if he visited the United States Senate?

Most interesting point was the one guy saying that next after national security is prosperity: "Where is the prosperity?" Sounds a lot like here where Trump claims there is no affordability crisis, that we have the best economy ever, but Witkoff high on Russian caviar says wait a few more quarters!

Vladimir Putin wanted useful idiot Steve Witkoff to represent the US because he targeted him as someone whose greed would be easy to exploit. And when it comes to the Trump admin, Putin gets what he wants. www.wsj.com/world/putin-...

Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.

Prof. Reich's column is a brilliant distillation and worth the time to click through, read & re-post. Here is the sub-title: "The fundamental choice is democracy, the rule of law, social justice, and equal political rights VERSUS white male Christian nationalism".

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...

The clock is ticking. Trump and his Admin have until tomorrow to release the Epstein files. Yet they still have not, and the Speaker has cancelled votes. What are they still trying to hide?

NOW The DOJ called Carl Ashley — the chief judge in Judge Hannah Dugan's court — as a witness. This press release came in during cross-ex. "Q: Is everything you wrote something you believed? Ashley: Yes."

Scripture says you can’t love God and hate other people. You can’t love God and abuse the immigrant. You can’t love God and bully the outcast. You can’t love God and oppress the poor. In the face of a neighbor, we glimpse the face of God.

WOW: In a special election for Kentucky State Senate District 37, Democrat Gary Clemons has won with a staggering 72.5% of the vote, defeating Republican Calvin Leach, who received 25%. Harris won the district by 6, so Clemons outperformed the 2024 results by roughly 42 points.

As data centers pop up in every corner of the country, their electricity demands are spiking rates for everyone. But why on Earth should you be covering the electricity bill of a billion-dollar tech giant? This week, @warren.senate.gov, @blumenthal.senate.gov, & I are asking big tech just that.

The truth is that Trump is for they/them, while Biden and the Dems are for we/us.

The taxpayers paying Trump to run ICE recruitment ads on Truth Social. The government is paying Trump’s company.

ICE has long used the latest spy tech to pursue immigrants — but now it’s also targeting anti-ICE protesters.

When will “don’t tread on me” Republicans wake up and realize their guy Trump is now the Trojan horse for his oligarch donors to do all the things they’ve been worried about?

🔥 @repdeliaramirez to @KristiNoem: “Bottom Line: You lie with impunity. You reject checks & balances. You ignore Congress & the courts… you can either resign, Trump will fire you, or you’ll be impeached. You’re going to be held accountable. I’m going to make sure of that.”

Chicago is where Michelle was raised, where I got my start as an organizer, and where we built a family together. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next June, it will be our way to give back to a city that has given us so much. obama.org/presidential-center

♥️ “ICE looked at that school, saw a community standing up for families, and decided it wasn’t worth it.”

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks. They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information. Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

Putin's war in Ukraine shows where authoritarianism can lead: ~1.4 million casualties. An entire generation sacrificed for one man's imperialist delusions. We must not let any president drag us into war without congressional approval.

This is where we are now. Families are starving in the wealthiest nation in the world. Meanwhile the president is intentionally trying to cut off food for hungry people who live in states that did not vote for him. It's not just immoral — it's un-American. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

What does a Trump presidency look like when he goes into it knowing he has immunity from prosecution for pretty much anything he does? It looks like this one.

While unionized Starbucks workers are on strike for a fair contract, don’t cross the picket line! Show solidarity — like Zohran Mamdani and Bernie Sanders. Listen to what they had to say.

During the latest US–Russia talks, the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund Kirill Dmitriev joined Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff in the Kremlin. Their presence underscores how Moscow is leveraging business channels to draw the Trump administration toward its stance, as I told The World.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs from San Diego lays it out calmly, clearly and persuasively.

While "peace" negotiations continue, remember that Russia could simply stop the war at any time.

The path forward for Democrats is to embrace economic populism AND social justice — not one or the other. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AymVXqZ6CRw

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Trump: The stock market is booming! Only I could do this and it’s all because of me!

In case you wonder how the Russians are feeling about the Trump/Witkoff "peace plan", see below.

“Does anyone care about the rules anymore?” “INDIANA REPUBLICAN Sen. Greg Walker turned down an invitation to the Oval Office, accuses the White House of violating federal law in its push to pressure Republicans to redraw IN’s congressional districts…” dailyjournal.net/2025/11/26/s...

Genocide just as Lemkin defined it. euromaidanpress.com/2025/11/27/r...

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

There is never any daylight between the positions of Russia and JD Vance.

It’s the busiest shopping period of the year, so we’re hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

Steve whitkoff is an actual traitor

I’m so jealous. Must be nice having a functional high court.

Horrific. Being done with our tax dollars and in our name.

Genius

Kristi and Kash’s taxpayer-funded travel adventures continue.

Ghislaine Maxwell: as she is doing time already, Congress shd immunize her which would force her to have to testify (she is currently objecting based on the 5th A). She can be prosecuted if she lies or refuses to testify. And it would make it that much more outlandish for Trump to later pardon her.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...
