“Forever War” is when a Democrat is at war, remember. “Muscular foreign policy approach” is when a Republican launches a covert action campaign against a NATO ally and starts an air war without Congressional approval. Useful cypher, these ideas. “Forever War” hypemen mostly still on Twitter, too.

Not much to like about 2025, but it is the year I started rowing. After 43 years of running, I was... bored. Bought an erg Aug 24. Hit 250k meters on NYE (155 miles). Bought a boat Sep 27th and logged another 89 miles in it by NYE. It's been a physical and mental health outlet amongst the shit.

This snippet perfectly illustrates why we need to completely reform the Supreme Court Because it was a SCOTUS packed with MAGA judges-chosen by Trump himself-that shamefully deprived America of its rightful justice by granting him immunity and destroying any chance Jack Smith had to prosecute him

The story was always already about an impoverished unmarried couple facing a pitiless bureaucracy, having a baby in a barn, and then having to hide from a tyrant. The baby grew up to say that the poor were blessed and the neighbor is he who shows mercy. You can’t hide from the politics of all that.

The $348 billion on bottom left bar is the subsidy workers and firms receive from employer provided health insurance. It is mostly from tax breaks that go to firms & workers. It amounts to abt $2,000/ person covered by an employers plan. Why doesn’t the GOP have same outrage over this subsidy? 1/2

Putin’s demanded that Ukraine withdraw from easternDonetsk, Zelensky vowed that his people would “never leave”the Donbas,and warned that Putin’s troops would use it as a springboard for a future invasion.It is a major source of coal for Ukraine and"fortress belt"defending Ukraine.STOP PUTIN/TRUMP!

unvarnished gutter racism and Nazism from the president. a disgrace to our country.

Who agrees? ✋

idk i'm not a lawyer but i feel like shutting down an entire state's childcare payment federal dollars because a 23yo posted a tiktok feels like a certain lack of seriousness or due process

A SWAT team threw 30+ grenades into an innocent man’s business while chasing a suspect. L.A. left him with a $60,000 bill. His livelihood was destroyed. A federal court says he’s entitled to $0. Whatever your politics, that’s a travesty. reason.com/2025/12/29/i...

And while you're at it maybe don't support the same people who will see her as a sex object before she gets to middle school

He donated $1.8 million to Trump and hired Pam Bondi’s brother as his pardon attorney. Defrauded hundreds of millions from people. Walked away free. Not Somali. -Ron Filipkowski

He was supposed to serve 10 years and pay $36 million in restitution for defrauding investors. Never served a day. Not Somali.

Dems need to get on this right away. These places have been subject to regular inspection. Tell Walz to stop apologizing. Don’t let this narrative spin out of control. www.cbsnews.com/news/minneso...

The last line of this post refutes the first. Of the 78 people charged in the Feeding Our Future fraud probe, 70 were indicted by February 2024, the last full year of the Biden presidency. web.archive.org/web/20241120...

JUST IN: AG Pam Bondi deletes a post touting a chart as proof of the Trump administration's success in reducing drug overdoses—after being informed the data actually reflected the *Biden* administration’s record.

uhhh yeah I can see why these childcare properties weren't eager to let in some rando dudes asking "where are the kids?"

Not Somali.

They also elected a president convicted on 34 counts of business fraud. They don't care about fraud.

I mean, let's talk about the obvious.

Pardoned by Trump after convicted of 12 counts of bank fraud and tax evasion. Don’t have to pay back $17.8 million in restitution or serve 12 year sentence. Not Somalis.

Costconomics vs Walmartnomics in a nutshell. Here’s why having a Costco in a community boosts the entire community, including nearby businesses, while Walmart destroys whole towns and leaves people leaning on social safety nets. And yes, it’s about as simple as you think. …

The way MLK's last few years are glossed over enrages me to no end. The labor activism, the Poor People's Campaign, the anti-war activism, the Economic Bill of Rights. All virtually ignored in most history classes

BREAKING NEWS: Actual facts appear for the first time on "Truth" Social.

This will be the most important offseason in years for the Chiefs. They need to start valuing talent over fit, and their GM needs to be given a longer leash. The "if I were Brett Veach" series is here, starting with a tough but necessary conversation. mnchiefsfan.substack.com/p/if-i-were-...

We continue to use rational models to assess what’s going on. The lowest approval rating in decades is irrelevant. That he still has approx 30% approval is the data point that matters. The fascists are entrenched, exposed, have everything to lose, & will not go quietly. Hard days comin’.

The House did its duty and impeached Trump twice while Nancy Pelosi was Speaker. The fact that he was not removed from office is because Senate Republicans lack backbone and a moral compass. You and half the people you talk to are idiots who need a civics lesson.

LEARN from history, don't REPEAT history

I genuinely think people are underestimating how much influence never Trump conservatives have in the Democratic coalition right now and how their influence is acutely felt by the people they’ve targeted throughout their political careers.

Exclusive: The CIA carried out a drone strike earlier this month on a port facility in Venezuela, sources told CNN, marking the first known US attack on a target inside that country. This is the attack Trump has repeatedly alluded to in recent days. www.cnn.com/2025/12/29/p...

Zuckerburg is paying only $190M to settle an $8B lawsuit by FB shareholders for the Cambridge Analytica crime. $8B would’ve been 3% of his net worth, and $190M is .08%. ~$75 for ordinary working people. “If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.”

So…is he fucking going to jail?! He’s a fucking pedophile! You can’t just expose things and not prosecute! Corruption needs to be actually dealt with, releasing information isn’t enough. Information gets buried, especially these days. I guarantee you most people won’t even see the below article.

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” Read that again.

To pay off stadium bonds, Chiefs-related new spending would need to be $2.7B a year — for a team whose total revenue is less than a quarter of that. Each and every Chiefs fan would need to spend an extra $4,000 per game for Kansas to break even.

Study of over twenty five million people over almost four years finds that COVID vaccines reduced COVID deaths by 74% and increased all-cause deaths by zero. I don’t know how much clearer it can get than that. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I knew this was gonna happen, and absolutely the fuck not. she‘s an antisemitic fascist trying to rebrand herself. Bye.

I’ve seen thousands of posts about welfare fraud from right-wingers on social media, which should be prosecuted if people committed crimes, but zero posts about the dozens of wealthy rich fraudsters who stole billions from thousands of people who have been pardoned by Trump.

Unlike Trump & Witkoff, most Americans aren’t seeking “amazing business opportunities” for US billionaires in Russia. We just want them to stop indiscriminately bombing civilians & end their barbarian war of aggression with their horde of convicts, rapists & foreign mercenaries.
