It gets worse (who would've guessed 🙃)

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

This disappeared. But I won’t let it

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head. That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The FBI put a thousand agents (their own words) on trying to hide all the links between Trump and Epstein. They failed. When people found some additional photos of Trump in the release, the DOJ promptly DELETED THEM FROM THE DOCUMENT RELEASE. www.npr.org/2025/12/20/n...

If you know anyone in the military, please share this with them. The Convicted FElon's $1776 bonus check for military is coming from their monthly housing allowance. So they will get less money for housing. Also the bonus check will be taxable income. They are getting screw. youtu.be/HbUkGtu25Ik?...

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear on my SiriusXM show said this blunt truth about Donald Trump: "I've never seen this level of cruelty in any level of politics--but certainly not in the presidency."

Sorkin: This is now state-sponsored capitalism. This is not really capitalism. Everything runs through 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue now. That is a fundamental reshift, and that is something that’s more akin to places like China, frankly.

Have you told your low info or MAGA family about this story of #ICELawlessness where #immigration officers who knew this woman was pregnant forced her on her stomach during detention & put their knee on her! This is rough, but we must bear witness! We must speak up, call Congress & tell others. 🧵

This is obscene. Why can't other politicians say that? The 25 richest families are collectively $358.7 billion richer than a year ago, with a combined fortune totaling $2.9 trillion.

Have you heard the good news? There are beautiful & kind people in this world. Spread love & stand against hate! Speaking out like this means so much to people! Showing your compassion & being an ally helps heal wounds & spreads understanding. We're so much stronger together.

Gotta say it's mindblowing to me that the Brown shooter is still at large and they don't even seem to have identified who they're looking for.

Remember: We Currently have PRISON CAMPS....in the United States of America.

This is the fifth GOP congressperson I’ve seen criticizing Trump’s post on Rob Reiner, and the first who isn’t either leaving the House (MTG, Bacon), a frequent critic (Massie), or in a swing district (Lawler).

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

After NVIDIA's CEO paid for a special dinner and his company donated to Donald Trump's gold-plated ballroom, he got his wish to sell advanced AI chips to China. Money talks in the Trump Administration.

Undecided voter: “How can someone like you convince me that my vote matters” James Talarico: “They wouldn't be trying so hard to stop you from voting if your vote didn't matter — Texas is one of the hardest places to vote in the entire country. That is by design”

“Unfortunately people only feel when it hits them personally.” #RIP

Rob Reiner on Christian nationalism

Dr Russell D. Moore is a theologian, pastor, and the editor in chief of Christianity Today.

This morning the very evil President of the USA very predictably mocked the death of a good man. He did so to distract from his crimes, but also because he’s evil and can’t help rejoicing over the murder of his critics. Go ahead, Donold. Have your fun, when life is done, a nightmare waits for you.

Maybe this wasn’t the best idea.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl. Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist. They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed. Another horrific story. More details below.

🧵2/3 Biden Truly Lives in Trump's Head "... he spoke about Biden eight times during one 20-minute window. That was more than 300 days into his second term." https://twp.ai/4itueA

Biden Truly Lives in Trump's Head #ABlueView🧵1/3 "An analysis of his first 50 days in office... found that Trump mentioned the name “Biden” 6.32 times a day on average. At the cabinet meeting where Trump struggled to stay awake, ..."

Let me be really, REALLY clear here. People don't get Medicaid checks Organizations do. Cutting benefits to sick people, does not stop waste, fraud & abuse because those are not the payees thehill.com/opinion/cong...

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Today, as we grieve the tragedy at Brown, we observe 13 yrs since the horrific school shooting at Sandy Hook. Since then, hundreds of thousands of Americans have died of gun violence. What’s perhaps most tragic is these deaths are preventable. We know the solutions. We need the conviction to act.

‼️‼️

Russia attacked a Turkish ship in Odesa. Türkiye is a member of NATO. The Russian attack on the Turkish ship is an attack on NATO. Will we see more NATO "strength" by inaction in response as promoted by Secretary General Mark Rutte?

Eight months ago vs today. 🤡 @atrupar.com @cnbc.com @cbsnews.com

Trump’s America. Mubashir is a 20-year-old Minneapolis resident and a U.S. citizen. ICE assaulted him and grabbed him off the street anyway. Cruelty and incompetence, and an unlawful detention. A kidnapping. ICE gets to do this with zero accountability. 1/2

Such smart birds.

Wow👇

BREAKING: Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's sex crimes and a group of Democratic members of Congress are asking for an independent review of the Epstein case files to determine whether any of the records have been "tampered" with or concealed, ahead of the release of those files by next week.

HOW is this real life? Shame on every Repub who has surrendered power, duty & oath in capitulation to a sinister, demented menace. The demonization of science and equality- The triumph of destabilization & anguish- Not just here, but across the globe, is a dark manifestation of their fragility.

Remember how they said the upcoming war in Venezuela was about drugs, and then they seized an oil tanker?

"When I said in February that they were going to cast a wide net for deportations, I had no idea how bad it would be. This is not just a matter of aggressive deportation. The things that are being done by our government to our fellow human beings are monstrous." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Excellent (long overdue) article on the Tate brothers and their cozy relationship with trumps.. Also with Fuentes: ‘Mr. Tate may not be a paragon of Christian morality, Mr. Fuentes said in an October interview with Mr. Carlson. “But men are going with him because he’s putting women in their place.”’

Fair Q

Listen to the story of this Marine Corps Veteran. He says he feels betrayed after ICE handcuffed his wife during her final green card interview. She was following the lawful process that spouses of U.S. service members have used for decades.

Rand Paul: There is no Fentanyl made in Venezuela. Not just a little bit, there's none being made... These are outboard boats that, in order for them to get to Miami, would have to stop and refuel 20 times... We don't just summarily execute people. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Have a listen to Max and his dad. They're a double dose of courage, and truly speak words of real patriotism. Carry their words in your heart, when we start working our tails off for midterms! Remind our neighbors of what we should and could be. Instead of what we've become. #SheShed

HOPE WALZ: “What world are we f*cking living in? I draw the line at Gus. You people are f*cking disgraceful.” She says MAGA loyalists are now driving by their home and yelling “R*tard!” at her family and her special needs brother after Trump called GovTimWalz the R word.

US may end support for Ukraine war effort, says Donald Trump Jr

Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire. The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich. We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

Posted anonymously to Reddit this morning... "In the longest line I have ever seen at our local church food bank, been standing here for an hour, its 34 degrees. A small town in Kentucky with a population of <4800. Basically 10% of the population is waiting at the food bank."
