The appropriate Democratic response is that the president is out of control. You don’t need to repeat his Maduro talking points. Stop being pussies.

Zohran Mamdani's best ad yet.

🎯🎯

I keep getting recommended all these videos on why Breaking Bad or BCS is the pinnacle of TV and they're so wrong. They clearly haven't seen the original season 4 of Arrested Development.

My New Year's resolution, arbitrary as it is, is to be online less. I'm having trouble concentrating, chasing little dopamine hits instead of committing to long term activities like writing and reading. I'm addicted to the distractions, and it has to stop. I'm too old for this constant outrage. (1)

Does Trump understand that nearly everyone is laughing at him?

And it's official!

It's going to be a great year for defending democracy. Let's go!

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani is officially mayor of New York City

Breaking: A federal appeals court just ruled that the Trump admin must return hundreds of California National Guard troops to Gov. Newsom's control. Newsom: "I'm glad Pres. Trump has finally admitted defeat: We've said all along the federalization of the National Guard in California is illegal."

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

A federal judge in Boston ruled to stop the Trump admin from terminating temporary deportation protections for migrants from South Sudan. The order prevents removals just days before those protections were scheduled to expire, maintaining legal safeguards for roughly 230 South Sudanese nationals.

And even at the end she tried to stop her most dangerous relative

Thank you to Chuck Redd, The Cookers, Doug Varone and Dancers, Rhiannon Giddens, and Kristy Lee for boycotting the Kennedy Center renaming and canceling their performances.

NEW: A judge in the Kilmar Abrego case just UNSEALED a Dec 3rd order showing DOJ lied to the court when it said that Blanche's office didn't have anything to do with the decision to prosecute Mr. Abrego. 1/

Sarah Cooper is back. 👏

Illinois has accomplished big things for its people. We’ve lowered prescription drug costs, achieved the highest recorded high school graduation rate in years, signed landmark transit reform, and balanced budgets. I look forward to getting even more done in the new year.

There is such good parenting happening at this crowded airport gate right now and it's almost bringing me to tears.

I've spent 30 years fighting to protect free and fair elections. From county courtrooms to the U.S. Supreme Court, I've argued and won cases that have helped decide elections. I started Democracy Docket to share most important information and analysis with you. Sign-up now. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.

After years of normalizing the nonsense, even Joe Rogan is clocking Trump’s cognitive unraveling. That tells you how far off the rails Trump actually is.

On behalf of everyone in The Resistance movement following the massive EPSTEIN coverup, I want to wish all my fellow Radical Left Scum the happiest of holidays!- ♥️, Mar🐫

I love Jimmy Kimmel and also Colbert and Seth. They do portray dear leader’s psychosis and somnolence so well. And all they do is show the actual clips of the insanity. So you don’t have to watch all. Great because I turn the sound off whenever dear leader starts speaking. Just TOO nauseating.

Merry Christmas, good folks of Blue Sky. May your day be festive, full of warmth, love and good tidings. Even in the darkest days there are reasons to be hopeful. To be grateful. I am grateful for you. 🙏🏼

Someone on Trump’s staff needs to be fired for thinking this would be a good idea. 🤣🤣

The holidays bring a lot up for people. Some are full of joy. Some are just trying to get through the day. Wherever this lands, it’s okay. May today give you a moment to breathe, a reason to smile, and a reminder that you matter.

Merry Christmas! Michelle and I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with light and joy.

Merry Christmas to my fellow radical left scum🌲🎅🏻🎄❤️

Fuck Trump! How's that for a disagreement. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

We just wanted to say thank you! 💚✊

Mr Cuban, I just wanted to quickly thank you. My husband has XXXX cancer, a rare gastrointestinal cancer. We are between insurance right now and when we went to pick it up we were informed it was $29,000. We were able to get it from CostPlus for $990. Thank you for saving my husband's life.

“If I can’t beat out Jimmy Kimmel hosting then I shouldn’t be president.” You didn’t and you shouldn’t be!

Look….. I know I’m an adult so it’s different…… but I feel like this year’s Christmas is the least Christmas-y I’ve ever experienced. Personally, because of all of the horror we’ve had this year. But also commercially, I feel like even companies are phoning it in or not even acknowledging it.

So let me get this straight, they released “redacted” Epstein files where you can literally copy & paste and read the redactions? Only the best and brightest allowed in this administration I see.

Merry Christmas, Minnesota. Hoping everyone finds some peace in quality time with family and friends 🎄

All I want for Christmas is for Trump to resign in disgrace.

Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair." One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

When other nations broadcast news that the US has decided is contraband and won’t broadcast, you know you’re living in a third world authoritarian country.

OK, off to bed. Haven't talked about it cuz I didn't want to seem needy, but I have surgery scheduled for tomorrow a.m.(happy holidays, eh?). So I need to get some sleep before I have to be at the hospital bright & early. Wish me luck!!! 🤞

Nicki Minaj called Donold 'handsome'. Does she need a pardon for something nobody knows about?

Not gonna lie. This surprised me. And I’m not sorry .

Having to watch a bootlegged copy of a video from another country because my country censored it is making me feel as if I'm living in 1980s Eastern Germany.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

“Only evil people would hide this and protect those who participated.”

I just uploaded @jasonparis.bsky.social 's recording of the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" to YouTube:

"Bondi and company are sorely mistaken if they think breaking the law and giving Congress a middle finger will make the Epstein scandal go away."
