ISRAEL IS COMMITING GENOCIDE AGAINST THE INNOCENT CIVILIANS OF GAZA. ANYONE WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE IT BETTER WAKE UP. KING TRUMP AND NETENYAHU ARE DOING THIS. FACT. PASS IT ON!

Millions of workers are toiling away from their families over the holidays. So thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Pay all workers a living wage.

Pelosi: “The President incited an insurrection. We begged him to send the National Guard, they never sent them. This President is trying to re-write history… it was an assault on the constitution of 🇺🇸.”

When and if sane and honest people ever again control the U.S. government, one of the first things they should do is enact a tax on large accumulations of wealth. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/if-the-market-were-working-well-we

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

Since 1975, $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% — a 1% that now owns more wealth than the bottom 93%. We can respect innovation & entrepreneurship, but we cannot respect the extraordinary greed that now exists. We need a wealth tax.

If I were innocent, I would want everything released to prove my innocence.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.

Donald Trump always receives instructions from Putin just before meeting Zelenskyy.

Friends — Here's one "big idea" for how we can start to fix the system in 2026. Let me know your thoughts. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

Just a reminder: US media figures on the take from the Kremlin, who also frequently read straight from the Kremlin playbook.

Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I wrote this a year ago and it hit a nerve. It is still relevant today: Each time I have sat down to write something I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I cannot get out of my head. So, this week I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

Ésto de los cribados no ha pasado siempre. Pasa desde que las comunidades del PP gobiernan . A mí en Madrid cuando gobernaba Más Madrid y Carmena . Me detectaron cáncer de útero y en cuestión de una semana. Me llamaron para ingresarme de urgencia . Y me operaron, me salvaron la vida. El PP mata

KLAXON! Let’s make #CBS rue the day. Link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari #Weiss pulled— Via @jasonparis.bsky.social (& @marisakabas.bsky.social whose post I saw, below)

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

Really American This is insane: FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr announced that they will be hiring a "bias monitor" at CBS "who would report directly to the President." State run TV is officially here. Make sure everyone sees this.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social is requesting that this video be shared so it goes viral. Topic: Voter election data protection youtu.be/aTTxFrCpj4Y?...

Donald Trump wishes Merry Christmas to himself:

Really good

CBS News has capitulated but Democracy Docket never will. I created it without any corporate backers or private equity investors. It's only accountable to its members who help support its 22-person team. Become one now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Team Talarico is proud to have supported the Isaac’s Angels Toy Drive at our recent RGV campaign event! More than 2,000 toys and books were delivered to kids spending Christmas at South Texas Children’s Hospital. Thank you to every volunteer and donor who made this possible. 💙

So it’s real

Michael Mansfield criticises ministers’ refusal to meet Palestine Action hunger strikers

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to name boats after a guy whose poll numbers are “sinking” and “underwater,” and who is also a fascist dingus. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Nothing screams confidence like erasing evidence after the fact. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

The 60 Minutes piece on the Trump Administration’s torture prison that Bari Weiss doesn’t want you to see has leaked.

I’m sure Russia knows what we are going to do before the American people since they have so many people serving in the Trump admin sharing intel with them.

🪡 In 2024 things didn’t end as well, but we still ran through the finish line. Our team made 32 MILLION direct voter contacts, talking to young voters about the stakes of the election and why turning out was critical. We organized around the country — and still made Gen Z Harris best age demo.

That’s suspicious. That’s weird.

People often ask why Democrats don’t have something like TurningPoint USA — so before the year ends, let me introduce you to Voters of Tomorrow. We’re on campuses across the country, organizing over 10,000 Gen Z members to engage our generation. 🧵THREAD

Garcia: If you are a whistleblower at the FBI, at the DOJ, if you worked hard to put the files together and are seeing your work now being hidden by your own DOJ, contact the oversight committee. We have whistleblower protections.

It’s not just Gaza. Netanyahu’s extremist government is supporting the violent annexation of Palestinian land in the West Bank. This is illegal and immoral, and decades of American silence have enabled it. NO MORE MILITARY AID FOR NETANYAHU.

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

This is getting interesting. This statement was posted directly by a senior member of former President Bill Clinton’s post-presidency staff.

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love. youtu.be/KIxAKyioXng

‘I have a female for him’

The truth about Trump's economy: -Inflation is still high, and beef and coffee prices are surging thanks to his tariffs -Wage growth has slowed since he took office -Unemployment is at a 4-year high He's running the economy like he ran his businesses — straight into the ground.
