Wounded Knee should be a warning, not a talking point. Using its legacy to defend a deadly strike and then celebrating it with medals turns historical tragedy into political propaganda.

Showing respect doesn't have to be complicated.

The right spent years weaponizing antisemitism as a political cudgel. Now its own leaders are struggling to explain why white nationalism and antisemitism keep surfacing inside the GOP coalition.

Amazing how the economy is always perfect on Truth Social.

The old rulebook is gone. What Democrats need now is nerve and clarity, an ability to wield power with conviction and not shy away from big change. Voters are looking for leaders who meet that test.

Even in a complicated year, there were bright spots. What’s one you’re holding onto?

If you’ve felt that surviving is getting harder while leaders insist nothing’s wrong, this is worth reading.

Historic tax relief, but only if you’re rich as hell. Secure borders and safer communities, but at the cost of peace and stability, while ICE continues its unnecessarily cruel reign of terror.

When tragedy strikes, MAGA doesn’t look for facts. It looks for someone to blame.

Ah, yes. A matter of highest importance: Melania’s undergarments.

Elections aren't the only thing MAGA is losing.

Nothing says ‘peace’ like constantly sowing fear, hate, and division.

Trump made cruelty central to his politics. It worked, until it didn’t.

Happy holidays to everyone, however it looks like for you. I hope these days bring moments of rest, warmth, and connection in the midst of everything.

Breaking: Stephen Miller discovers journalism and does not take it well.

Exactly. At some point, denial stops being ignorance and becomes willful.

AmericaFest put MAGA’s antisemitism problem front and center as influencers called each other out from the stage. Some want a purge; others are protecting the base. Todd Beeton breaks down that rift.

Nothing says ‘authoritarian’ quite like trying to shut down anyone who doesn’t praise you.

I just love it when they put him in his place.

Uh...you actually can’t do that.

Saying ‘NO INFLATION’ in caps doesn’t change the prices people are actually paying.

Perfectly normal and fine.

Whether on the economy, healthcare, immigration, or foreign policy, Trump’s agenda has betrayed the promises he made to voters. And as a result, the blowback has been intense, even among those who shifted toward Republicans last year.

A country that invaded its neighbor, occupies its territory, and continues to bomb civilians does not get to claim it is ‘committed to peace.’

💰Trump’s wealth increased by about $2.5B since his reelection, to $6.9B 💰 Eric’s increased 10x, to $400M. 💰 Don Jr.’s 6x, to $300M. 💰 Barron, a college sophomore, is worth $150M.

There’s no mystery here. Trump was told by the Justice Department that his name is in the Epstein files.

Not everything is bleak. ACA relief moves forward despite GOP leadership chaos. Trump ends the year deeply unpopular. Democrats keep wildly outperforming in specials. A courageous act at Bondi Beach sparks hope. And the statue of Barbara Rose Johns takes its rightful place in the Capitol.

If you want context, not chaos, this is a solid place to start.

A bombshell Vanity Fair profile exposes chaos, denial, and cruelty inside Trump’s White House. Trump’s grotesque post about Rob Reiner draws condemnation from both parties. Plus, a deadly antisemitic attack at Bondi Beach and a hero who stopped even more bloodshed.

In fact, tantrums are an inability to maintain self-control and a sign of weakness.

Immigrants didn’t cause the housing crisis. Greed and failed policy did.

This isn’t just decline. It’s consequence. Tariffs, healthcare sabotage, mass deportations, militarization, and political retribution are all delivering the opposite of what was promised. The backlash is showing up in polls, elections, and cracks inside the GOP.

Tantrums don’t equal strength.

Not even a year into Trump 2.0 and the backlash is here. Core policies are failing, and voters are noticing. Tomorrow, Jay Kuo on how Trump boxed himself in. Yesterday, Todd Beeton on why MAGA treats entire groups as existential threats.

Oh, how I would love to see that.

Welcome to Trump’s ‘Golden Age.'

There is something profoundly depraved about a president who can’t show basic decency, even in death.

Trump told me the economy was an A+++++

This is what taking public safety seriously looks like. Meanwhile, in America…

The land isn’t ‘lost.’ It’s occupied. And repeating Putin’s talking points doesn’t make them true.

Kushner’s return tells you everything about Trump 2.0. Peace talks that double as real estate pitches, foreign money flowing through his investment firm, and a potential takeover of major U.S. media. This is corruption in plain sight.

‘Things can happen’ is not a response to preventable violence, especially from a president.

When reporters don’t challenge obvious bad faith, they don’t just miss a moment. They enable it.

An absolute disgrace of a human being.

Democrats are riding a winning streak!

News comes at you fast. Here’s where I go to make sense of it all.

Trump pushed to rig Indiana’s map for two more seats and the state Senate still said no. The U.S. grabbed a tanker suspected of years of illicit oil runs. And a federal judge freed Kilmar Abrego Garcia and blocked ICE from pulling him back into custody.

Saying something over and over doesn’t make it true.

all i'm saying is that there were better options
