Welcome to the New Year! My latest Postscripts piece. open.substack.com/pub/seppost/...

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department. One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone. When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

Tom Nichols: “This ongoing game show of ‘strike a boat every day’ […] is making us into worse people — every one of us, whether we’re in uniform or just ordinary citizens. It is spiritually and morally corrosive on every level.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

My latest blog post. open.substack.com/pub/seppost/...

Happy Thanksgiving! We all have so much to be grateful for, even among the horrors wrought by the Trump Regime. Here's some food for thought. open.substack.com/pub/seppost/...

To paraphrase Dennis Hopper in "Speed," in 249 years we've gone from "I regret but I have one life to give for my country" to "Quiet, piggy!"

Thanksgiving-Cyber Monday, my wallet's ignoring Target, Home Depot, & Amazon. I'm tired of corporations enabling this administration ditching DEI, allowing ICE to terrorize our communities, & chase tax breaks. Join me! #WeAintBuyingIt 🚫 app.sosha.ai/s/06jqDxtM

Hey media! Why hasn't this come out before?!? substack.com/@borowitzrep... The actual interview is on YouTube. Who needs the files when we have testimony like this?

I just issued an executive order to develop a veteran food pantry network to provide food support for veterans, service members, and their families. Regardless of what happens at the federal level, Minnesota remains committed to providing for those who protect our freedom.

Wow, that’s crazy. Republicans lied and are screwing you over? Who could have seen that coming?

I'm canceling my Spotify subscription until the ICE ads are removed. Streaming hate is a choice and I refuse to fund it. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/mPuN0gAo

I sure am enjoying No Kings 3 tonight.

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states. Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

Millions of Americans, including 1.4 million North Carolinians, rely on SNAP benefits to put food on the table. I’ll continue to do everything in my power to keep families fed, but the Administration needs to release these critical funds.

Trump will deny it’s a referendum on him. But it’s a referendum on him and his disgraceful regime that couldn’t care less about the needs of people.

Here’s a candidate who answered the question on the lips of so many political consultants: How do we get people to turn out for us in huge numbers? The results speak for themselves. A successful Democratic Party committed to winning elections rather than stroking donor egos would be taking notes.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC. It didn't matter. Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

“Tonight we sent a message…we chose our commonwealth over chaos.” - Governor-elect Spanberger

Yup. It turns out massively destabilizing trade in and out of the country is bad for people importing to build factories in order to export stuff. Also, they’ve pretty much killed CHIPS and Science, the largest domestic manufacturing bill in recent history.

Week 6 of the shutdown and we want solutions – not images of Trump's Halloween party or an empty House chamber.   People are missing paychecks, losing healthcare, and struggling to feed their families.   It's time Republicans get back to Washington and do their jobs.

Apparently, the American people do not like Trump’s chaos, meanness, hate, his trade wars, attacks on our communities, economic mismanagement! Republicans you will continue to be decimated supporting Trump’s failures.

Seems like a good time for the Speaker of the House to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

Pennsylvania voters decided: All three Democratic justices on the state's Supreme Court will keep their seats — defeating a GOP push to flip the court and protecting a majority that defends voting rights and fair elections.

Yes. Yes it is.

Maine voters stood up for democracy — overwhelmingly rejecting a GOP attempt to make voting harder and reaffirming their commitment to free and fair elections.

JUST IN: Trump’s first post since the election results dropped might be his most pathetic ever

“Jesus says very clearly: At the end of the world, we are going to be asked, how did you receive the foreigner? Did you receive him, and welcome him, or not?” #PopeLeoXIV #LiveTheGospel #WelcomeTheStranger www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

Tonight is many things, but it is among other things, vindication for Lindsey, for being brave and speaking up about Cuomo's abuse towards her and other women.

Blowout. Maybe the GOP should reopen govt now

If anyone needed another reminder of how deeply unpopular the Trump-MAGA Republican agenda is, tonight was the night. But we cannot relent and we cannot become complacent. The midterms are right around the corner.

UPDATE: Democrats have swept Virginia, winning the governor and attorney general races while growing their lead in the House of Delegates. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This year, we’ve seen three of the largest protests in American history, with Hands Off! in April, No Kings in June, and No Kings 2 in October. Today, we saw a fourth mass pro-democracy moment of 2025 that demonstrated beyond a doubt: When people organize together, we win.

It’s official: We just added a Democratic trifecta in Trump’s backyard! This win puts a big obstacle in front of Trump & his MAGA minions. Now it’s up to Governor-elect Spanberger and the new Democratic majority to keep building on that mandate and protect Virginians from their problematic neighbor.

“This is kidnapping — plain and simple." #PrayForAmerica www.boston.com/news/local-n...

Trump declares that Republicans have lost the shutdown. Absolutely zero reason for Dems to cave at this point

New Jersey, it is the honor of my life to earn your trust to become this great state’s 57th Governor. I promise to listen, lead with courage, and never forget who I serve.

Aren't we all ready for some good news? Rachel Maddow's stunning new venture doesn't involve just giving money for a good cause, but also giving her time and energy to help people. Truly admirable! triforce247.com/b1-rachel-ma...

@jimacosta.bsky.social While the government is shut down, Trump goes to Asia, gives $20 billion to Argentina, and spends $300 million to tear down the East Wing to build a ballroom.

Wells Fargo scammed millions of people by opening fake accounts. The Trump Administration just reduced a former Wells Fargo exec's $10 million fine to $0. Trump is making life more affordable for Wall Street executives — and more expensive for everyone else.

In a win for voters Friday, a federal appeals court rejected a right-wing effort to revive a Republican bid to block Pennsylvania from counting undated or wrongly dated mail-in ballots.🥳 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... Only a sick bastard would harm a pregnant woman! Even the women in prison here in America get better treatment than this! ENOUGH of this nightmare! #Pinks #WomensRights #ICE

And they called it the the Great Epstein Recess of 2025

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.” “SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.” ~Center for Budget and Policy

The U.S. has conducted 10 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing 43 people. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.

This is insanely illegal and incredibly fucking dangerous.

The Brennan Center just filed an amicus brief with #SCOTUS in Learning Resources v Trump (challenge to Trump's global tariffs). Argument: Congress, not the president, has the power to impose tariffs under emergency powers law (IEEPA). Read: bit.ly/4oEPw87

The US hit an all-time high $38 trillion in national debt, thanks to Donald trump. This marks a +$500 Billion jump in October, or +$23 billion per day, again, thanks to Donald Trump. Donald Trump is bad for the economy, business, and your pocket. Support MAGA, lose money.
