In their infinite wisdom, the Trump admin including RFK jr’s HHS has RESCINDED Biden’s rule for nursing home staffing minimums. Now nursing homes will be even more under staffed than they are now. HHS is spinning it as a “clean-up”. www.naco.org/news/hhs-rel...

It’s worth noting that only one nation has ever invoked NATO’s Article 5: the United States, after September 11, and our allies did not hesitate whatsoever to join us in going after the perpetrators.

Everyone in the FBI has to ask themselves, “What did I do for Director Patel’s girlfriend’s drunk girlfriends today?”

Kristi Noem came to Chicago for a Christmas propaganda video at Navy Pier. We were ready with our signs and our chants and our own special carols! 🎵❌️🧊

Not sure what others think but seems ICE has escalated in the Chicago suburbs as their activity lessened in Chicago. They obviously haven’t left the city either but seems they’ve gotten even more aggressive in the suburbs.

It’s truly hard to reconcile a lifetime of believing that the purpose of government in the United States is to help citizens with the hatred ICE and other federal agencies have displayed for Americans in Chicago, LA, DC and other US cities

The government doing this to anyone is bad. The government doing this to one of the country's leading scholars of criminal law and procedure is bad too, but also just confoundingly stupid

If he wants to at least reduce his complicity and the bloody stain on his reputation, Bill Cassidy needs to lead the charge to get rid of Kennedy and all his nutjob cronies at HHS. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Notably, the judge rules that the government likely violated Richman's Fourth Amendment rights by digging around through his data as part of the effort to build a case against Comey

a billionaire who sees undermining political sovereignty as an alternative to paying a relatively minor fine is a problem that will have to be dealt with eventually

It would cost $30 billion to end homelessness in the USA.

Unfortunately evergreen

Worth noting that some of the people having their car windows smashed and dragged onto the pavement did immigration more "the right way" than the First Lady.

Weird how the administration who loves to release snuff videos is holding back on this one.

Kennedy's zombie ACIP panel just voted to restrict hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Experts say it will harm children for no reason. www.ms.now/news/rfk-cdc... ACIP member Dr. Cody Meissner: "'Do no harm' is a moral imperative. We are doing harm by changing this wording. And I vote no."

WaPo is reporting that Bradley told lawmakers that Hegseth DID give a kill order.

FLORIDA — Woman in scrubs: “I’m a U.S. citizen! Why are you doing this to me??”

It's awkward when both the bomber and the president believe the same conspiracy theories.

This is an American patriot.

On left: President Trump Statement Sept. 2, 2025: "The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in international waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States." On right: (Under penalty of law) military leaders told Congress headed to Suriname.

anyway this isn’t a legally difficult question it is a politically difficult question for the conservative majority and the only thing we’re waiting to see is if they will ignore political pressure and follow the clear text of the constitution or bend to the president’s demands.

There he is folks. Proud recipient of the new FIFA Peace Prize. He couldn’t put that gold medal around his neck fast enough.

I literally thought Trump's new FIFA Peace Prize was a dude crying into his hands.

This regressive move will literally kill people. It's making kids' liver cancer great again. And it's a sign of more harm to come. CDC panel recommends delaying birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine www.statnews.com/2025/12/05/c... via @statnews.com

We know Trump's hold on MAGA is weakening because there aren't a bunch of goofs out there intentionally bruising the back of their hand.

We're looking very powerfully at deporting the sandman.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

Christ on a cracker — these seemingly hostile drones only missed Zelensky’s plane because he was unexpectedly early www.thejournal.ie/drones-dubli...

The Cory Mills story has so many layers. How does a sitting member of Congress also own an arms export business while sitting on committees overseeing that business? And that’s just a piece of the money part of this…

3/ Looks like DoD officials previously made false statements to Congress: Defense officials had previously been arguing "they were legitimate targets because they appeared to be radioing for help or backup ... made that claim in at least one briefing in September for congressional staff."

The U.S. Supreme Court: "ICE can racially profile people it arrests." Also, the U.S. Supreme Court: "Texas can disenfranchise voters based on race." Can we all agree that we currently have a white supremacist Supreme Court?

Lots of interest here, and I will write about it. But what jumped out at me was ZM's observation that the laws we need are already on the books. We just need to enforce them. I mean, OF COURSE, but... it needs to be said.

So this must mean that Kash Patel is going to tell Trump he has to revoke his pardons for the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and reinstate their convictions for sedition in connection with January 6, right

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Such Irony. In an insane moment, Kash Patel says "when you attack our nation's capitol, you attack the very being of our way of life. We will always refute it and combat it." Except when you pardon 1,500 attackers. These are unserious people.

As a former prosecutor, I know a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich. The grand jury’s refusal today to indict Letitia James shows this case should never have been brought. When we flip the House, we will investigate everyone involved for abuse of power.

The Trump administration would rather spend billions of dollars to build up a brutal force to violate rights than make sure Americans can see a doctor when their sick or children have enough to eat or that pardon Art people can afford electricity. It is using our tax dollars to violate our rights.

This is a huge win that you might have missed last week: we successfully pressured airlines to shut down their data broker, which was selling passenger data to the government without a court order. I'm going to keep at it until other industries to follow suit.
