No

I’m hopeful, but not optimistic. This will go to SCOTUS, and the conservatives will once again bend the law to accommodate their agenda.

I feel like its an underreported issue that the between the Obamacare subsidies and student loans a whole bunch of discretionary spending is about to be sucked out of the economy.

yes. she investigated the case of why everyone at the new york times hated her and discovered that it was because she was too smart and too brave.

Jesus Christ, I’m embarrassed *for* you at this point.

What we’re learning from this first batch of files is perfectly consistent with what we already know about Trump. But it’s still a shock. I can’t believe this fucking guy was elected president twice.

During the holiday season, we all want to spend time with our loved ones.   And yet, just two months after buying Walgreens for $10 billion, the private equity firm Sycamore Partners stripped hourly workers of paid vacation, including Christmas and New Year’s Day.   Shameful.

Huh. The baptism and rebirth didn't take.

More popular policy from the Trump admin.

Oh

MAGA, what say you?

I cannot overemphasize how serious a threat he is to civil liberties.

I have given Harvard undergrads their first Cs, Ds and Fs. One of the recipients of a C sent emails to supervising faculty. They alleged that their superior Japanese was the cause. Their Japanese was definitely better than mine. But they still deserved a C.

Bari Weiss of CBS News made a major blunder by pulling the 60 Minutes segment on Trump’s CECOT deportations. Now a Canadian station has broadcast it and others have made it available on the internet. The entire world will be watching it. Cancelling it was the best publicity it could have had.

I just want to point out that this young man’s death was easily preventable. When ACA subsidies lapse in a week or so, the people that voted against continuing the subsidies will have contributed to the deaths of many people like Cole. (Video/Transcript) www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Epstein and his associates forced victims to marry other victims to prevent their deportation. Many tried to escape the island, were caught swimming away, then threatened with harm if attempting to leave again. I'm only on page 14 of 77 of this unredacted doc. www.justice.gov/multimedia/C...

Bill Clinton just called on Trump to release the full Epstein Files, including all documents mentioning both Trump and Clinton. “Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the DOJ’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation.”

Total bullshit

"Make room, Mario!" Sidney Crosby has tied Mario Lemieux for the most points in /penguins history! 🐧

How would this be worded any differently if it were issued by the Kremlin?

oh the CBS bosses went to dylan byers? then they are definitely lying.

Breaking: CBS News will be renaming 60 Minutes to “88 Minutes”

This is fantastic news, a triumph of medicine! And the overall cervical cancer rate in Oz is dropping, too, almost certainly due to HPV vaccinations. And exactly the sort of progress RFK Jr. is trying to kill. Along with killing our citizens.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Patel celebrated apprehending a person of interest too soon, only to let them free, and then have the FBI wander around until local police found the suspect days later—all thanks to a user on r/Providence subreddit. trib.al/Ppx3iyw

This is false. But more importantly, if you only insure people who are healthy, premiums are cheap.

Totally not a cult. www.instagram.com/reel/DRcr225...

Nicki Minaj called Trump handsome at TPUSA and now I want HER to take a cognitive test

“He is deformed, crooked, old, and sere, Ill-faced, worse-bodied, shapeless everywhere; Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind, Stigmatical in making, worse in mind.” - Wm. Shakespeare #RadioFreeAmerica

Homeland Security thinks Christmas is merrier because they’re terrorizing immigrants. These Trumpers are sick, sick people.

Trump is no longer making any pretense of sanctioning firms supplying the Russian military. He is shifting the US position steadily to a pro-Russian position, including support for Russian military operations in Ukraine.

This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release. AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

white people will take off their shoes before stepping on a picnic blanket but start a podcast if asked to remove them inside someone else’s house

Pretty fuckin mad about this. Once again letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Let's buy a holiday gift for EVERY child in Denver's public housing. Even $5 helps. You've raised $30,000 so far. No child should go without a gift this holiday season. Thank you for your generosity! denverhousing.networkforgood.com/projects/262...

WTF?

As new Epstein files are released, keep in mind that in his first term, Trump ate, flushed, and stole documents, and his Chief of Staff burned them in the White House fireplace.

This is really cool. (Paywall-free link archive.today/oAKWm )

I don’t think I’m being alarmist. If anything, I worry that we’ve become so inured to Trump’s madness that we’re not alarmist enough. Trump must be removed from office as soon as possible. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-real-threat-of-trumps-madness

I met Melissa Hortman in October of 2024. She was smart and kind. I heard about her murder in a LA hotel room and it dropped me to my knees. So I went to Minnesota and talked to her kids, parents, and friends. This is not true crime, this is Melissa in real life. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
