He’s literally up there bearing false witness on the sabbath in defense of a thieving adulterer who covets more than any other human being alive.

www.npr.org/2025/12/21/g... "Congress is in a coma. It has a pulse, but not many brainwaves," said former Rep. Jim Cooper, a Democrat who represented Tennessee for 32 years. "It's hard to tell that it's even alive as an institution."

Via Jonathan Shorman and Stateline: A confidential agreement between DOJ and more than a dozen states would hand the federal government a major role in election administration, a responsibility that belongs to the states under the U.S. Constitution. https://ow.ly/4ue950XMwS6

Graphic design is my passion

This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release. AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

It's an open secret that the organized chaos and deafening silence of the living dead in Congress is the opposite of progress.

I hope @mattyglesias.bsky.social responds and appreciate the open dialogue from an elected official. Imagine if more members of Congress did this. #BlueSky #Transparency #Policy

One key story I'll be following: Where do James Talerico and Jasmine Crockett agree, and what are their common prescriptions to address the disease in Texas and the United States Senate?

My daughter is taking calculus this year. This is a calculus problem. Trump said prices are coming down. That's false. Inflation is decelerating at the moment. But tariffs are raising prices. Prices are rising. But they're rising less quickly than they did after his massive COVID cash influx.

🤔 @stevescalise.bsky.social : “He wants all Americans on government-run health care. It’s failed everywhere it’s been tried.” UM NO IT HASN’T, STEVE. EVERY WEALTHY COUNTRY HAS UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE BUT US. #MedicareForAllNOW (“Everyone on Medicaid is what Dems are doing” — if only!)

Notably, 3 months of Food Price Outlook data (October-December) will not be released because of the government shutdown, creating a data gap that Trump is exploiting to make up a narrative without facts. www.ers.usda.gov/data-product...

And we all know it

If you're wondering how a rich man could bankrupt six companies, watch Trump's speech.

Do BLS unemployment numbers include this massive cut to federal workforce employment?

This is an important read.

One citizen said that federal agents in Idaho pointed guns at her children, ages 6 and 8, and dragged her 14-year-old daughter out of a truck and zip-tied her. The mother told investigators that an agent threatened to “fucking blow your head off.” By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

No lies detected. Where are Sens. Blackburn and Hagerty?

This seems like an act of terrorism, no?

The juxtaposition of these posts on my timeline shows me that it is not a time to dwell in the past or in our echo chambers.

This is not acceptable. The American people must stand together against tyranny.

Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered. Masked men eventually left, and one man on the roof was taken away by ambulance kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Detaining American citizens without habeas corpus is NEVER ok, and that's especially true when ICE is targeting people who have taken the oath of citizenship. ICE agents who break the law should be held accountable to the law. Period.

Too much competition and "free markets" leads to decision fatigue, overwhelm, and exploitation of consumers by the greedy. An unregulated system means more money being thrown at marketing instead of healthcare.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

So wait... The President was lying? Or was he lying? Or... dementia?

Perhaps we should stop interviewing this guy.

Remarkable how brutal the ruling against Trump on Abrego Garcia truly is: It details flagrant and malicious abuses of power all throughout. Trump and Stephen Miller were testing their ability to spread lawless state terror. But the court held the line. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2043...

www.npr.org/2025/12/12/n... When the government and govt officials break laws, they should be held accountable.

If you want to know why your health care premiums are going through the roof, look at Republicans in Congress.

Mayor-elect Mamdani: If an ICE agent is breaking the law, then that is a law that they should be held accountable to.

Again?

Have we sent the ICE agents to prison yet?

Trump's bombings are "murder" and "summary executions," says @tessbridgeman.bsky.social, and Hegeth should watch "where he travels when he’s no longer in office" due to potential prosecution by "international tribunals." On the pod Tess powerfully lays out this case: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

I would like you to think about the ethics, economics, and impact of this.

A key question from the 7th Congressional District of Tennessee: Why was Van Epps sworn in before the election results were certified by the Secretary of State?

If you've been excited about @aftynbehn.bsky.social I suggest you follow @philinvestigates.com to keep up on what's happening in the state of Tennessee.

The thing is we've known that housing the homeless is cheaper than neglect, we've known that Ubi is effective at eliminating poverty, we've known that heavily subsidized housing and education leads people into the middle class, we've known all of these things in some cases for 70 years.

This is so irresponsible. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump... A 3 point swing among a statistically sampled group is just as likely to be sampling error as anything. Let's do better polling. Nationally, Trump remains super duper unpopular.

They pardoned the actual guy from Honduras but now we're bombing boats because... why?

From JD Vance on Houthi PC small group, the day after Signalgate broke:

Bad lawmakers make bad laws. Bad judges make bad laws legal. Bad executives make laws bad.

Hypocrite.
