I mean everyone voted for fewer jobs, more war and more expensive healthcare, right?

Hilarious. The WH had all the Cabinet members simultaneously put out statements supporting Susie Wiles after the Vanity Fair article came out.

Exactly. If people can’t see the familiar choreography by now…..

A study found 8% of US healthcare workers with symptomatic COVID kept working while sick, and this increased as the pandemic went on. Presenteeism was more common among those with graduate degrees and higher incomes than among lower-paid or less-educated workers. www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/pre...

Cutting 35,000 jobs at the VA won’t improve the quality or efficiency of health care for veterans – but it will worsen existing problems. This is the fundamentally wrong approach to delivering the best possible care to our veterans.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Mostly African countries.

Trump: "The only time anybody could see those planes was when those bomb chutes open up, because it becomes totally un-stealth. You're going in, you go like this. As soon as it goes like this, for some reason the plane is totally visible. Not good. I watched it happening. I watched it go bing bing"

NOW: Boston Ice Tea Party!

Miriam Adelson encourages Trump to serve an illegal third term during a Hanukkah celebration at the White House. The crowd chants "four more years!"

Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

In our October Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll, 53% of adults opposed Trump's strikes on Venezuelan boats and only 33% supported. (I imagine support for a full war, and this blockade, would be even lower.) www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-v...

The little orange bars on the right are what Trump is calling “the greatest economy in history.”

Damn… 🇺🇸🇻🇪

Almost no jobs have been added to the American economy since April. In fact, 710,000 more people are unemployed now versus November 2024. More thoughts on today's dismal jobs report — and what it means for America's affordability crisis.

An interesting work which depicts John Singer Sargent's dining room at 33 Tite Street in Chelsea, London in 1886. When he died in 1925, footsteps were heard in the house and in his studio in Chelsea, a shadowy figure was seen for several years.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

More rain and wind in the forecast, Washington. Be prepared for possible power outages and be safe out there!

Wow — White House Chief of staff Susie Wiles did not hold back. 👀 Start the clock! ⏰ www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/u...

One of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Sounds about right.

How many more people are they going to murder before someone does something to stop them? apnews.com/article/boat...

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker. This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration escalated its effort to punish a sitting U.S. senator for protected political speech Monday, formally converting the Pentagon’s review of Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) into an official Command Investigation under military law. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The fine print on this goal to make 5,000 arrests in New Orleans reads: “Regardless of whether they’re citizens or not”

We honor Rob Reiner because we are decent people, and he was a decent and good man.

If you’re telling Head Start programs they can’t say “disability”, “Black”, “female”, or “Tribal” in order to get funded—you don’t care about kids. Period. This administration is attacking the very protections that keep children safe and supported. Our kids are not political props.

I don't really understand how parenthood in the USA works. Negligible parental leave. Barely any annual leave. When are parents expected to actually spend decent time with their children?

Must be nice to live in a country that responds so swiftly with policy change.

JFC! First, Rob Reiner and now he's blaming Brown for getting attacked. How low does this creature go?!!! #Pinks www.rawstory.com/trump-brown-...

More broadly: *anyone* who looks at Trump & sees *anything* other than dull toxic narcissism is projecting. But that's been ... almost everyone! For 10+ years he's been 100% consistent & still people are imagining surprises & complexities! Still!

I want to emphasize this, and note that I have been saying it consistently for over 10 years now: *everything* about Trump is immediately visible. Everything. There's no there there, no depth, nothing hidden, no secrets. He's shallow as a puddle. It's all right there, immediate, obvious, glaring.

We honor the bravery of Ahmed al Ahmed, a bystander who risked his life to protect those under fire. The lesson, yet again, is all too clear: Our safety is bound up together.

DHS is shockingly incompetent.

Had to go watch the video myself before reposting, because this seemed so absurd I thought it might be fake. But, nope, it happened. He also says (in the same sentence) "with enough effort, you could probably stop aging, reverse it..."

sometimes i don’t know what you all are talking about so i look them up and then i get upset

Mifepristone has been widely used in France since 1987 and in the US since 2000. It is a safe drug with an excellent track record. Don't let any Republican or an irresponsible journalist tell you otherwise.

Pluribus is further an Autism / Allism allegory in that virtually everone else *intrinsically* understands each other in ways that Carol doesn’t “get” and vice versa I am not saying Vince Gilligan intended this … just that Pluribus is an extreme example of the Double Empathy Problem.
