MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Air pollution dropped not just in the congestion pricing zone, but across the 5 boroughs and greater metro area. Quote from article "This tells us that congestion pricing didn't simply relocate air pollution to the suburbs by rerouting traffic.”

Tried and convicted degenerates now demanding tax payer bonanzas for storming the capitol building

Days after FIFA awarded Trump a fake peace prize, DOJ moves to drop charges in FIFA corruption case www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/n...

My grandfather didn't have $1 million for a Trump Gold Card. He was 10, poor, and didn't speak any English. He ended up making good, and a lot of money. I wrote about him in 2018. I liked us better when we understood what the American Dream meant to the world. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

What universe was this man living in? I remember that year. It was terrorist everything. "Keep shopping/going to school/buying stocks or the terrorists win." You know what we couldn't say? French fries. (Freedom fries.) Conservative pressure groups tried to get The Two Towers film renamed.

Very sensitive intelligence methods like murdering the shit out of shipwrecked mariners.

Doorman Fallacy. Business wants to transition to 24/7 operation, views labor only as cost. Decides to install creepy one-way QR code door that traps people in a tube. 48k/annum for security saved, how much is maintenance on the tube? how much is lost customers? how much is smoke inhalation death?

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs. Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

Mouth breather is not a good look.

I’ll never forget hearing Donald Trump’s racist “shithole countries” comment in a 2018 Oval Office meeting about immigration. Tom Cotton and David Perdue claimed Trump didn’t say it and accused me of lying. The truth comes out.

NEW: Trump has tapped Gregg Phillips — the activist who gained national prominence after he claimed without evidence that millions of illegal votes had been cast in the 2016 presidential election — to oversee billions in federal relief funds and emergency operations.

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

This article explains why the right's "censorship industrial complex" myth has been so successful: "The government wasn’t defending her, she was banned from defending herself, and even potential allies were staying quiet, having sensed which way the wind was blowing."

Reporter: Has Hegeth told you why he hasn’t released the video of the second strike? Trump: I thought that issue was dead, you must be CNN. Are you CNN? Reporter: I am Trump: You know you work for the Democrats? You're basically an arm of the Democrat party.

This is why his DOJ will not approve the Netflix merger. He wants the Ellisons to take over CNN. There is nothing he wants more than that when it comes to media. bsky.app/profile/atru...

One of the things that THE GOOD PLACE is ultimately about is that fragility and the inevitability of loss are parts of what makes humans important to each other. Allowing grief to exist instead of telling lies to yourself is a key part of retaining your soul, truly. You simply can’t defeat death.

Look at me. Look at me. I'm the captai....zzzzz

IN DEPTH: I hate all of you so fucking much and hope Skynet picks the bones clean of everyone involved in generative AI.

While borrowers and families struggle with the cost of living, Trump just ended the most affordable student loan repayment plan in history. Republicans don't care about affordability and they never have. The shame and sham of it all.

Q: You said 'very strong terms' with European leaders about Ukraine. Can you explain that? TRUMP: We had some little disputes about people. And we're gonna see how it turns out. They would like us to go to a meeting over the weekend in Europe.

“Deadhead Fed hair”. Maybe time to limit his public events.

Trump on Zelenskyy: "He has to realistic. And I do wonder about how long is it gonna be until they have an election? 82% of Ukrainian people are demanding a settlement be made."

A tanker? We just doing straight up piracy now?

Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon calls on his fellow Christians to use the slur "faggot" in the fight against LGBTQ rights: "No, stop it, faggots. No, you will not convert my children. You're degenerates, you're predators, and you're evil." www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

It’s going to be fun on TV to ask economists about 25% GDP growth. 🤡

My cousin, who lives in Tillamook, who sends us the really good cheese, gave our Christmas allotment to my uncle to give to us—and he froze it. All of it. Five pounds of 10-year aged cheddar that now just crumbles to dust when you touch it 😭

Trump: "I read a story that I was unhappy with Pete because he was attacking drug dealers. I said that's not exactly right, I would say very much the opposite. Pete Hegseth has been phenomenal. I read a story that I'm unhappy with Kristi. I'm so happy with her."

Remember last month when a GOP congressional staffer in NJ was arrested down the shore for falsely claiming she had been assaulted because of her MAGA support? The docket now shows she checked in for residential treatment just before Thanksgiving. Let's hope she gets the help she needs.

In other words, "I'm completely clueless about the war I'm starting and would rather talk about CNN and the ballroom and faucets."

Support from Trump administration officials played a crucial role in the release of Andrew Tate from Romania, where he is accused of rape and coercing women into pornography, a New York Times investigation found.

DOJ makes it clear: If Judge Boasberg wants to pursue a contempt case against Kristi Noem, he's going to have to pierce privileged conversations she had with Blanche, Bove and DHS lawyers – something DOJ says shoudl only happen at a trial. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

An entire post about marriage & gender relations (the conflict here being very plainly gendered) that fails to even broach the idea of the partners communicating. Why do that when you can argue with a silent cutout of your wife on the Internet

My mom would rise back up, read me for filth and return to her rest.

Why do all these guys look like random weirdos automatically added to your dungeon crawl in an RPG? “TOOMNID, a MAGE, has joined your party.”

Boy, he's really hiding that right hand, huh?

JUST IN: Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Snell just confirmed, at the prodding of U.S. Magistrate Judge Keri Holleb Hotaling, that this motion for dismissal followed a "no bill" from a grand jury. That means the grand jury refused to indict.

It's been truly remarkable to see the grand jury system actually act as a real line of defense. Especially since--as I bet most non-lawyers don't know--the only legal person in the GJ room is the prosecutor: no defense, no judge. There is NO place more favorable to the state. And they keep losing.

Breaking news: U.S. forces seized an oil tanker near the Venezuelan coastline, President Trump said, a significant escalation against President Nicolás Maduro and his country’s oil-dependent economy.

Imagine, for just a second, Biden saying this about Fox News. And I bet the absolutely feckless White House press corps won’t cover this like the legit constitutional 1A disaster this is.

Somewhere John Bolton & Bush are smiling. So many like to imagine that Trump is something wholly new. he’s just taking everything Reagan/Bush did the to the next step. No one pulled back the powers of the President in the meantime, so it was there for Trump to use. www.axios.com/2025/12/10/v...

The first thing I thought of when I heard the news: www.nytimes.com/2024/10/07/b...

This is still VERY illegal. The Trump admin says anyone who pays $1 million will be deemed to have "exceptional business ability" and become eligible for an employment-based immigrant visa. But there's nothing stopping someone from just getting a loan or using parents' money.

Trump on the president of Colombia: "He's gonna have himself some big problems if he doesn't wise up ... he better wise up or he'll be next. I hope he's listening. He's gonna be next."

Q: What happens to the oil on the tanker you seized? TRUMP: Well we keep it I guess

Jesus, just stop. Democrats are winning now. And if some voters feel this way about Democrats, a major reason is that THE FUCKING CONSULTANTS KEEP SAYING THE PARTY IS TOO LIBERAL AND OUT OF TOUCH. They incessantly reinforce the stereotype. washingtonmonthly.com/2025/12/10/t...

Trying to imagine these 1931 cast replacements ...

Q: What changes do you want to see at CNN under new ownership? TRUMP: I'm not involved in that. I will be probably involved in the decision. It's imperative that CNN be sold.
