Trump is selling out the public to Big Tech and Silicon Valley donors in the name of AI.

"So over the last five weeks, we’ve seen Democrats running about ten points ahead of their 2024 results. Not coincidentally, current polling shows Donald Trump’s approval almost ten points behind his approval of a year ago." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

@nytimes.com reports Pentagon lawyers even floated sending survivors to El Salvador’s CECOT prison to keep them out of US courts Why? A court case would force the Trump admin to show its legal & factual justification for these strikes That’s why we @democracydefendersfund.org filed our complaint👇

NEW: The DOJ launches a civil rights investigation into Colorado’s statewide prison system just days after Trump renewed public calls to “free” Tina Peters, the election denier serving a state sentence for her role in a voting system data breach.

The first paragraph of Judge Breyer‘s opinion granting an injunction in the California National Guard case is a banger.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

From the Editorial Board: The impulse to help families is worthy. But a program that delivers money 18 years from now while adding to today’s debt burden isn’t a solution to the affordability crisis parents face today.

It's different than running a campaign and saying what people want to hear, and actually leading and not running grifts to enrich yourself. Every accusation is an admission. Trump Calls Affordability a ‘Con Job’ as His Edge on the Economy Slips - The New York Times www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

"First, Trump targeted illegal immigrants. Then he went after legal immigrants. Now, he’s attacking naturalized Americans, citizens who were born elsewhere...He’s trying to turn white against nonwhite Americans...The U.S. government now openly stands for bigotry." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Devastating. Trump admin selling off historic public art to the highest bidder. "It is a tragic irony that murals meant to represent the contract between the government and its citizens would be sold to the highest bidder rather than preserved for posterity." www.alternet.org/trump-destro...

Also, a lesson to every DOJ lawyer & law enforcement official. A lesson to everyone.

Trump continually overturns the decisions of American citizen juries. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/n...

Officials Criticize Biden Vetting, But Afghan Shooting Suspect Was Granted Asylum Under Trump www.huffpost.com/entry/dc-afg...

Someone needs to set up a camera so we'll know when Pete Hegseth orders this plaque removed from West Point.

There is much to be thankful for in Trump’s choice in lawyers. Happy Thanksgiving one and all and deep congratulations to James Comey and Leticia James!

"According to the opinion from Judge Brown, a Trump appointee, 'it’s challenging to unpack the DOJ's letter because it contains so many factual, legal, and typographical errors'....” www.vox.com/politics/469...

Thank you!

Thank you!

There's definitely a consistent theme with the Trump White House

All eyes are on Tennessee as Aftyn Behn takes on #TN07 in the Dec 2 special election. Polls are open—let’s show the country the South stands for truth & community. Aftyn fights for everyday Tennesseans, not billionaires. Spread the word, vote early, and let’s do this! #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

Imagine trying to convince someone a decade ago that this sentence would be a 100% literally accurate description of the American political situation.

What she said.

That was FAST. Ketanji Brown Jackson’s gambit is working.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Breaking news: The Trump administration over the weekend ordered states to stop distributing full food assistance benefits for November to the 42 million low-income Americans risking food insecurity.

Trump and his cronies are now pushing 50-year mortgages. Buckle up. This is going to make the 2008 mortgage crisis look like the good old days.

Nothing like sticking up for the guy who dismantled democracy in Hungary, holds fake elections & supports Putin.

Oh my god??? Marjorie Taylor Greene: “I will praise Nancy Pelosi. She had an incredible career. I served under her speakership in my first term of Congress. And I'm very impressed at her ability to get things done. I wish we could get things done for our party.”

Happy Birthday, to Intrepid Hiker, dazzling Dog Dad and love of my life, Armin!

Laura Loomer is now officially part of the Pentagon press corps. We live in Idiocracy.

IT’S ELECTION DAY, AMERICA! Remember to get out and VOTE!!!

Something to take into account. Abigail Spanberger got her start in politics via Moms Demand. We talk a lot about the Trump effect and Dobbs radicalizing suburban women with degrees. But I think we miss just how school shootings served as a sparkplug for the suburban shift for educated women.

O'DONNELL: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far? TRUMP: No. I think they haven't gone far enough.

It’s been FIFTEEN YEARS and the media is still letting Republicans pretend they have some super-secret concept of a hidden plan to maybe consider a covert proposal that could theoretically be implemented in a hypothetical simulation of a Congress run by people who are not actually clowns.

Mary and I take on, in our new NYT op ed, the grave mistake in the reasoning of the Supreme Court which unleashed retribution prosecutions. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/o...

There’s nothing more patriotic than voting – and our democracy is stronger when more Americans participate. Today is the last day to register to vote before the November 4th election, so head to pa.gov/vote to check your registration and ensure you can make your voice heard.

Dear @nytimes.com, one of the largest peaceful protests in this country's history, and it winds up on page 22 in the Sunday paper? Gave you the benefit of the doubt yesterday, figured maybe you'd cover it today, but no. What's going on there? What kind of reporting is this?

"We do ultimately depend on the common sense and common courage of the people. “No Kings” is an expression of protest. But it is also an affirmation of responsibility. We the people ordained and established our free government. It’s up to us to keep it." www.thebulwark.com/p/its-gettin...

After the Missouri GOP passed a new gerrymander at the expense of Black voters, over 2,400 Missourians gathered together to collect 106,000 signatures to veto the measure. However, the state is doing everything in its power to stop them. https://bit.ly/47fy2rH

This new Pentagon press policy is not good for our press or our military. And I’m saying that as a former soldier who knows the importance of a free press. www.thebulwark.com/p/locking-do...
