Commentary: Making the same screw up twice and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. A fitting example? Two trade-busting Trump administrations twice devastating Ohio’s farm economy and twice requiring billions in taxpayer bailouts. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/12/16/t...

🚨BREAKING: Eric Neff, a Republican attorney with a web of ties to election-conspiracy theorists, is the new acting chief of the voting section at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), according to the department’s website. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Minutes ago today the Trump regime abruptly cancelled citizenship ceremonies for several immigrants in Boston. THEY CANCELLED CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES. These immigrants followed every rule & did everything right—Trump banned them anyway. All are from Black & brown majority nations. This Is Fascism.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning from Congress. Now when people ask me to name one good thing Trump has done I FINALLY have an answer.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

How embarrassing for Chuck Schumer, Kirstin Gillibrand, Cory Booker, & NY Reps Grace Meng, Dan Goldman, Ritchie Torres, Greg Meeks, Tom Suozzi, & Laura Gillen, that even Donald Trump endorsed Zohran Mamdani before they did.😐 Corporate Democrats just love snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

ICYMI — NBC: “The senior military lawyer for the combatant command overseeing lethal strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats near Venezuela disagreed with Trump that the operations are lawful — and his views were sidelined…” www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

"Judges need to rise to the moment, confront present realities, and stop pretending yesterday’s norms and assumptions remain valid while we slide further into authoritarianism."

These images are a snapshot of the hate I receive regularly due to rising anti-Muslim and Islamophobic rhetoric from across the political spectrum. This endangers us all—and corporate media refuses to report on it. Here, I document what legacy media won’t: www.qasimrashid.com/p/anti-musli...

"A man pardoned by President Donald Trump for storming the Capitol was arrested on child molestation charges, according to Florida officials, who said he tried to use an anticipated Jan. 6 payout to silence the victim." www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Trying to make Mohammed bin Salman feel at home as they take questions from the press, President Trump invites the Saudi Crown Prince to select one reporter to have executed.

Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems. "Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map." Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Mob boss attacks female reporter again for her “attitude” and says he will ask his FCC commissioner to look into revoking her company’s broadcast license.

Trump demanded Texas and other red states redraw their congressional districts to rig the midterms in Republicans' favor. California fought back by redrawing its map to balance out this power grab. Now, Trump’s DOJ is suing California. The hypocrisy is endless.

There is nothing in the Epstein files and we will fight to the death not to reveal them.

Breaking: President Trump names his bone spurs an Honorary Veteran.

MAGAs are so racist they made up a lie to scare Americans about Obama being a socialist and secret Muslim born in Kenya—and karma responded by electing a Ugandan born Muslim and proud democratic socialist to mayor of New York City.😅

The IRS is reportedly not offering its Direct File program next year. Here’s a look back at how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free: (Published 2019)

I'm pro-union because I think workers should organize to balance the power that business owners have in various negotiations. It's true that unions have been weakened, but it's not because of multiculturalism. I would argue, it's because people seek to exploit divisions for their material interests.

An underrated storyline in 9 days: Youngkin has made it so people lose their voting rights for life for any felony at present. A Dem proposal that’s started advancing to restore voting rights hinges on Dems keeping the state House

UPDATE: This ad just ran again during the World Series 🇨🇦 You know why? BECAUSE IT IS NOT FAKE. Reagan said it. Trump is lying.

Donald Trump (Still) Hates His Biggest Supporters

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

Chain-link cages. Flooded tents. Clouds of mosquitoes. Malfunctioning AC. Scarce food. Zero recreational time. This is life inside the hell of Alligator Alcatraz.

BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from laying off federal workers during the government shutdown. The judge granted a temporary restraining order blocking these mass firings, countering Russ Vought who is seeking to lay off 10,000 workers or more.

NEW: After over two hours of oral argument in a high-stakes Louisiana redistricting case, the Supreme Court seems ready to scrap fair elections and hand red states the power to freely draw electoral maps that eviscerate the political power of minority voters.

Vought has blocked CFPB staff from doing their work, and is also charging CFPB $5 million for his bodyguards. So technically, they are protecting one consumer. www.govexec.com/management/2...

So Nazis. They want to give refugee status to Nazis. OK, maybe not JUST Nazis. Also certain other white people who hate non-white immigration. But Nazis can definitely come. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor. According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

Pro-voting groups warn that if the Supreme Court rules to strike down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act, it could give the GOP at least 19 more U.S. House seats — seats that were directly created by the provision. https://bit.ly/4q7aQ7D

Big First Amendment win in Chicago: A federal court told the government it can’t target journalists at protests. But it still allows officers to order reporters to leave protests in some circumstances. We wrote about why that needs to change.

The Atlantic—one of the most prolific corporate media outlets in America—attacked me, my values, & my advocacy. And they got most everything wrong. Here is my rebuttal.
