Ugh

what the fuck are you talking about man

Yes, folks, it's true! "Beat the Press with Emily Rooney" is returning to the webwaves tonight with a segment on @scottvv.bsky.social's Contrarian Boston. Emily, Scott and I will be talking about the Olivia Nuzzi-RFK Jr.-Ryan Lizza shitshow. scottvanvoorhis.substack.com/p/is-the-wu-...

Bass: We had an important victory today from the courts. The court determined what we knew all along: we do not need National Guard troops in our city. We didn’t need them in June, and we certainly don’t need them in December. I’m glad a decision was made saying the president is out of line

Fine. Give us the Epstein files in Times New Roman, then.

Jamie Raskin needs to issue a public statement that the United States Congress will ensure the American support for the ICC. Trump’s grip on Congress is not permanent.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

* Coalition Shift: Spanberger’s victory was powered by a massive 85% of her margin coming from Northern Virginia (NoVA), where voters are uniquely sensitive to the federal government contraction caused by the DOGE layoffs.

Police Chief Brian O’Hara has delivered a blunt message to his department: If an officer witnesses ICE agents using illegal force and fails to step in, they will be fired. 👏 👏 👏

Happy Super Moon Day!

Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.

This is the story tonight. Every Dem who was in that room should be telling us what they saw.

The narrative shifted I warned of has begun. dankennedy.net/2025/12/03/d... The first strike was murder and/or a war crime, too. We are not at war with Venezuela or Colombia. All 80-plus killings are illegal. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/u...

New at Media Nation: In a lawsuit against Meta, Massachusetts' highest court will rule on the limits of Section 230. dankennedy.net/2025/12/04/i...

Well done! A Massachusetts church displayed an “ICE was here” sign in its Nativity scene.

Congratulations to Justin Crosby (D) on his election victory in Mississippi CD22 — he flipped the newly redrawn seat by defeating the incumbent with approximately 53 % of the vote. This win is part of a broader shift after court-ordered map revisions aimed at increasing majority-Black districts.

The Citizens United decision has corrupted our government and is destroying our democracy. Here's a way to get rid of it. robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get...

The emergence of Eric, portable mischief-in-a-jar:

Good morning. Sea eagle with lunch, a couple of days ago. I’m playing this Sunday at Carrington Bowling Club, 3pm. Have a great day.

There is a relief in taking action on something, because even small acts can lead to big change… COMMENT HERE: act.link/gi-pkcttR youtube.com/shorts/ufVsh...

credit to NYT for not sanewashing the appalling bigotry we saw today in the WH "Even for Mr. Trump — who has a long history of insulting Black people, particularly those from African countries — his outburst was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry."

Facts

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

Polls are closed now in Tennessee... But if you're in line STAY IN LINE. You will be counted. #Tennessee #TN07 #TN7 #AftynBehn

The Pentagon reporters who have been kicked out of the building continue to break huge stories every day while the right-wing New Media continue to post selfies of themselves hanging out in the Pentagon.

Tennessee polls close at 7 PM CT. If you’re in line when polls close, stay in line. Your vote will count. LFG!

📌Pete Hegseth ordered our military to "kill everybody" on a damn boat carrying 11 people. The tiny vessel was repeatedly struck by our military, who have leaked Hegseth's barbaric order to the WaPo. 📌Related: Six politicians reminded our military not to follow grotesque, illegal orders like these.

The regime set up the shooter to attack OUR TROOPS so we could focus on something new. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

Hey party people. Don’t shoot national guard troops. It’s not cool. They are t doing anything wrong. They are doing what they are ordered to as long as it’s legal. CBP and ICE are the ones breaking the laws. I’m just sayin’. Don’t do bad things to good people…

In spite of it all- there is still much to be thankful for. I am thankful for the growing resistance and for the words and friendship of @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social.

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

They were sacrificed. Trump was hoping for this very thing in order to enact his martial law. He may not have chosen them, but he intended it to happen to someone in the military or ICE. He didn't care who, just like he didn't care who was killed the day they staged the "assassination attempt".

If a local police department assists ICE in kidnapping people, are they eventually going to be held criminally liable too? Accountability must happen. We can't bend the knee to fascism and police who assist are as culpable a anyone else.

White bellied Sea Eagle showing its wonderful colouring. Never gets old, the thrill of seeing these wonderful big birds. Have a great day.

😎🌵🪴 🚨🚨The reason we haven't been hearing much about the Proud Boys lately is due to the fact the group is going by a new name: ICE

Trump is pushing the hell factor to the next level against the American people. How many times must Americans say “he must be stopped “? Just one more time ? One thousand more times? This should be a free and SAFE country, and it’s not with Trump and his stand back and stand by criminals🤬.
