Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) said she was pepper-sprayed by ICE agents after confronting them at a restaurant as the agents were "taking people without due process."

Chaos Is Coming open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa... If we can't get this destructive, asinine regime out of power soon they will permanently damage our relationships around the world. This damage will not only hurt us strategically, but financially as well. #MAGATraitors #CongressionalCowards

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.

The family of a Colombian man believed to have been killed in a US strike in the Caribbean has filed what’s believed to be the first complaint against such attacks with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR).

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

This is unfortunately and sadly who we are now….

Trump divided the country, extorted Zelenskyy, tried to steal an election, incited an insurrection, stole confidential documents and banged a porn star. That’s his legacy. He knows he’s incapable of achieving anything good. He’s hoping his ballroom will remind people of him.

This is the most consequential story for the 2026 midterms. Yet, I cannot find it anywhere on legacy media. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Conway: This is a criminal government. Unless you are willing to say that, you’re basically fighting on their terms. They get to lie, and they win that battle because people say, “We shouldn’t use that kind of language.” But you get to use that language when it’s fucking true.

Cool!

Buy a book. Any book, it doesn't matter which. The one you've been looking forward to, the one with the title that made you laugh, the weighty award-winner you've been meaning to get to. Whatever. Treat yourself. Step away from it all. In this time of gross ignorance & madness, read something.

Somehow this is the worst part. Yet again I'd like to thank the publishing industry, Hollywood, and Yale Law School for ensuring this bigot's rise to prominence.

Please add "puppy killers" to your proposed travel ban. WE DON'T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.

U.S. foreclosures surge 20% as more homeowners fall behind on mortgage payments, per ATTOM. The U.S. now has a record $13.1 trillion in mortgages and $1.2 trillion in credit card debt. Total credit card debt is up 50% since 2020. A wave of foreclosures and evictions is approaching.

Starting Jan. 1, traditional Medicare recipients in Washington state will face a new hurdle to get certain procedures covered — private AI companies that get paid based on how many claims they deny. (via @kuow.org)

The Trump administration plans to block Democratic-controlled states from accessing billions of dollars they need to run their food stamp programs unless governors turn over benefits rolls to federal officials.

Some 600 immigrant kids have been sent to federal custody by ICE this year. A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf. Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn.

After the the White House posted a video using one of her songs, Sabrina Carpenter replied that “this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”

In the face of charges that these strikes amount to execution without trial, the White House is sending a confusing message about who exactly gave each order to use deadly force. n.pr/3XwjcZy

NEW: After the DOJ and DHS released contradictory statements about the motives of their unprecedented hunt for state voter data, top election officials gave the Trump administration until Dec. 1 to offer an explanation. Their response? Crickets.

BREAKING: President Trump declared that all of former President Biden’s pardons are now “invalid.” There is no legal mechanism for presidents to revoke their predecessors’ pardons but if Trump is taken seriously, thousands could be thrown into legal chaos.

A policy expert described Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s push in favor of private schools as a “great American heist,” funneling money from public schools: “It’s a strategic theft of the future of our country, our kids and our democracy.” (Published October 2025)

President Trump has pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was serving a 45-year prison sentence for drug trafficking. "Meanwhile, fishermen on boats in the Caribbean who we have never been tried or charged with anything are shot and killed from the air."

NEW: A ProPublica and @highcountrynews.org investigation found that government programs supporting grazing on public lands prop up a wealthy few while harming the environment. The Trump administration is supercharging the system.

The FDA never released a comprehensive list of the drugs it allowed into the U.S. even though they were made by banned factories. So we made that list for you 👇

Scientists studied thousands of children born March 2020-May 2021. Out of 800+ mothers diagnosed with COVID-19, 16.3% of their babies received a neurodevelopmental diagnosis by 3 years old, compared with 9.7% who weren’t exposed to COVID-19 in utero.

While this usually isn't the intent, "no one will ever be held accountable for this" doomerism is an excuse not to try. There'll be at least some accountability if enough Americans work for it. And this time really is different. Doesn't guarantee the aftermath will be, but it increases the chances.

Reading this feels like being yelled at by a calculator having a stroke.

Hours from December, isn’t that crazy? The first week of meteorological winter in Northern Hemisphere is marked by overheating continents. North America appears lonely with temperatures significantly below average in Northern Plains. (1/2)

Why didn’t Trump order flags to be flown at half staff for National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom like he did for Charlie Kirk? 🤔

If Trump is innocent, prove it. If you're a politician and don't support rapists or pedophiles, prove it. If you're a politician and aren't complicit in Epstein's crimes, prove it. Release the Epstein files.

about to start this!!

Don’t forget LBJ and the war on poverty. If the Dems could just divorce themselves from wall street and dirty money, grow a spine and a set of cajones, and walk the walk, that’d be super.

Release the Epstein files.

I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better. kentuckylantern.com/2025/11/25/t...

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. He has brought the office down so low in such a short time. Other presidents have tried but none have come close to this.

🎩Get this POS outta the White House! 🇺🇸

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved. Don't look up!

I love being in my late 30s so much. I love not giving a shit about being famous or successful anymore. I love prioritizing being comfortable, and being around people who love me. Could do without the aching joints and looming perimenopause, but everything else? Golden.

Klobuchar: "What the president has done is taken a horrific crime that occurred in DC and went 2,400 miles away to Somali & somehow indicted an entire group of people, 80k of them in my state, as well as all naturalized citizens. This is what he does. He tries to make people hate each other."

Workers at the drinking water plant in Louisville, Ky. saw a sudden spike in the level of a 'forever chemical.' They traced it up the Ohio River to a factory embroiled in a pollution lawsuit. n.pr/3M80fdi

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*
