I think it’s time to leave Israel, for good now 😬

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

It’s election day for the race to be the next Mayor of Miami. Miami hasn’t elected a Democrat for Mayor in nearly 30 years. That streak might end today.

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.

On Sunday’s edition of “Meet the Press,” Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas was such a relentless firehose of lies that at times he appeared to be auditioning to replace Karoline Leavitt.

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

MORE GRIFT. The Warner Bros. merger was already suspect, but now Trump’s family is getting in on the act. Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, is part of Paramount’s bid for Warner Bros. Discovery. Paramount already had deep ties to the White House, now Trump's family will directly profit if they win.

Honduras Attorney General Johel Zelaya said that he had ordered Honduran authorities and asked Interpol to execute a 2023 arrest order for ex-President Juan Orlando Hernández, pardoned by U.S. President Donald Trump.

People are very lonely. They’re very isolated…the Zohran Mamdani campaign gave people not just kind of hope for a more decent and affordable New York, but also the campaign became people’s whole social worlds. M. Gessen and Michelle Goldberg on How to Resist www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/o...

This is absolutely horrifying. The United States must push for an arms embargo on Sudan, work to get more aid into the country, and use our power and leverage to save countless lives. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Good to see the Washpost putting this as grafs 2 and 3 of tonight’s Hegseth story. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Yes the HHS Secretary just attempted and failed to do one complete pull up while rocking an untucked shirt and pit stains on TV, totally normal behavior for the HHS Secretary

Does @adamsmith.house.gov dare vote for this??

Read this — the new defense bill directs Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, and Tulsi Gabbard to determine what weapons Israel is lacking due to other nations embargoing it. Then, it directs the US to fill those gaps — by doing things like working around legal "barriers" to send Israel even more weapons:

“Out with idealistic utopianism,” he said. “In with hard-nosed realism.” If there is anything that says “hard-nosed realism” it is fighting an utterly pointless conflict with the Houthis—the actual subject of SignalGate. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

And to be quoted alongside Congressman Tom Massie, especially as this sounds like some of my recent media hits.

#GVerse #Veterans US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.

Rep. Crockett’s Statement on the Supreme Court’s Ruling on Texas’s 2026 Map

TRYING TO FLIP” THE BOAT MEANS THE BOAT WAS CAPSIZED AND THEY WERE SHIPWRECKED IN THE WATER.

The top-10 carmakers by market cap make up 75% of global passenger car sales. Tesla makes up less than 2%. The Tesla bubble will be widely documented in history books.

From its establishment, DHS has always been empowered to violate our rights under the pretense of securing our safety. DHS's overbroad mission and unchecked power make it a danger to our communities. We brought DHS into this world, and we can build a world without it, too.

BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

Oh wow Angus King was wrong when he said capitulating was the most promising path to success. Shocked! #MEpolitics

Instead of Somalis, Trump should deport whoever put this hilarious wig on his head

A leased ICE detention center wears out its welcome in Portland, Oregon

Donald Trump demanded five congressional seats from Texas. Governor Abbott did what he was told. The conservative Supreme Court sealed the deal. They can’t win by delivering for hardworking Americans—so they turn to corrupt and racist redistricting.

I was told by a reporter in October that the White House was looking to prosecute me because I stood against their inhumane agenda. Days later, they did exactly that. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

The US military carried out a strike on a suspected drug boat in the Eastern Pacific, killing four people on board, according to a social media post from US Southern Command. https://cnn.it/4av0Z63

The Trump admin plans to nearly double ICE detention capacity by the end of this year. The federal gov's extreme anti-immigrant agenda is dangerous, and will continue to expose more people to extreme heat risks in facilities that lack oversight and transparency. This must end.

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.
