Man, people really hoped he was going to be the adult in the room.

Yeah, people are fixating on a Cabinet Secretary being given a sovereign country to run because the president waged war without congressional approval and kidnapped the old leader. Weird that they’d get hung up on that.

WELKER: How soon will elections be held in Venezuela? Within 30 days? MARCO RUBIO: Elections? Look -- this is a country that's been governed by this regime for 15 years. The elections should've happened a long time ago.

It's almost like if you don't hold people accountable, their behavior only escalates.

To me, this sounds like the first tangible sign of things going wrong for Trump’s (non) plan. But I’m a former intelligence analyst and this a glass half empty kind of guy.

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot. That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

Dog ain’t gonna wag itself.

Truly Trumpian grift. Insider trading on an illegal invasion.

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.

See, I'm not interested in seeing the leader of another country held accountable for legitimate crimes...until I see the leader of THIS country held accountable for legitimate crimes. I'm funny like that.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Schumer says his caucus is “troubled” by The Convicted Felon, rapist, and pedophile grabbing Venezuela by the “you know what!” Really? I call BS on Schumer. It takes more than Trump to take down America. It takes quiet ass, knee bent Dems also. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #Pinks #Venezuela

Q: “You said Maduro is responsible for drug trafficking. You recently pardoned the former president of Honduras convicted of drug trafficking. Can you explain?” TRUMP: “He was persecuted very unfairly.” 🤷🏼

These farm workers work under a UFW contract in a plant nursery in Tulare Country. They're sorting and trimming rootstock. Their wages start at $17.43/hr, w/a increase to $17.95/hr on January 1. They get a $3.00 bonus when the team completes 800 plants in a day. #WeFeedYou

163 years ago in Mankato, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history. I’m grateful to the riders who continue to remind us the importance of fighting for accountability and healing for the Dakota people. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

Expiring ACA subsidies plus default student loan garnishments are really going to make life painful for some in 2026. Also, marijuana deregulation is a Trojan horse for mandatory military service. Things will get worse before they get better, but how close are we to the breaking point?

The DOJ is not even trying to hide that it functions as Trump's personal law firm

In which we learn that the US attorneys office concluded that Trump traveled on Air Epstein regularly without appearing in he passenger manifest.

"She took a high dive into a pool that she drained herself. Were he alive today, Mr. Murrow would not believe what his network has become."

It's pretty interesting how Nazi authoritarianism has become a Russian bedfellow. www.politico.eu/article/germ...

The problem with American politics on both sides right now is this: Politicians are more concerned about how their MESSAGE is being RECEIVED than they are in their POLICIES being EFFECTIVE.

Excited to see Seven Knights coming out on PC!

His disillusionment was pretty palpable after he publicly stated that Epstein killed himself.

BREAKING: Dan Bongino, is expected to announce his resignation. Here's the interesting part: Bongino told his team that he tentatively planned to announce his departure on Dec. 19. What is on Dec 19th? That's the deadline for Trump to release the Epstein Files.

Remind everyone: Republicans made tax breaks for billionaires permanent. Permanent! They exploded the national debt by trillions to do it.   But saving health care for a few years? Republicans say that's too expensive.

This is no surprise. It feels like Bongino became disillusioned once he publicly stated that Epstein killed himself.

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

JUST NOW…

Anyone can become disabled. Anyone can become chronically ill. It’s not a choice. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. You can be the healthiest person in the world & completely disabled in an instant. It’s a minority group you can join anytime.

Dr Russell D. Moore is a theologian, pastor, and the editor in chief of Christianity Today.

REP. @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “The biggest ‘welfare queens’ in 🇺🇸 are corporations that don’t pay a penny in federal taxes, and CEOs who get a tax deduction for flying on a private jet — not hungry kids, or working parents who work multiple jobs.”

Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation used unsealed documents showing that Trump-aligned political action committees (PACs) and the campaign's general fund paid millions to organizers of the Jan. 6 "Save America" rally, including funds for travel, hotels, and a busing program for attendees.

Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) notes that Elon Musk's personal tax rate was only 3.3% and Jeff Bezos' was only 1%, because they are able to take out tax-free loans against their stock. He has introduced a bill to TAX those loans… It's time for billionaires to pay their fair share!

No community should be forced to bear the weight of a system that profits from human suffering. Private, for-profit prisons have no place in a fair and free democracy—and especially profiting off the suffering of an inhumane and undemocratic detention system. Period.

Federal judges in Virginia are striking Lindsey Halligan's name from legal filings, calling the inclusion "unacceptable," according to CNN. This follows Democracy Docket's reporting that the DOJ still claims Halligan is a U.S. attorney despite a court disqualifying her last month. Background:

“While Trump tells GM, Ford and others that they needn’t make gas-saving cars, China is telling its carmakers to take advantage of the lack of U.S. competition and accelerate their efforts to grab the world’s burgeoning clean car market."

The Secretary of Defense taking extrajudicial killing requests from podcast hosts

SMARTMATIC LAWSUIT Evidence submitted in court filings suggests, inside Fox, few believed the wild claims made on the air. Senior Fox execs & Fox stars made clear privately they knew Trump had lost, according to testimony & exchanges presented in the public record. www.npr.org/2025/12/02/n...

A new documentary, The Land of Sacrifice: The Burden of New Mexico's Oil and Gas Extraction, explores the oil and gas crisis in NM and its damage to the health of frontline and Indigenous communities and degraded the ecosystem. The Land of Sacrifice is free for anyone to watch ➡️ bit.ly/4okDhgq

Koh: This is not about justice. This is about power. This is about a Secretary of Defense so drunk off alpha male bullshit that he's willing to take lives to get off on that power.

But this is how they really feel... #Witkoff #PeaceDeal bsky.app/profile/noel...

apnews.com/article/trum...  Pentagon knew boat attack left survivors but still launched a follow-on strike, AP sources say. #ProudBlue. Trump Regime thinks it can spin itself out of the murders ordered by Whiskey Pete.They cannot. Hegseth is responsible and must be fired and prosecuted for murder

If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.

Release the Epstein files. Lock up war criminals.
