1/2 Our federal government has completely lost its way. Any presumption of regularity has long since been abandoned, and we are now operating not according to any established norms but according to the whims of the most radical elements

Tomorrow the Supreme Court hears a case that shouldn’t be a case — birthright citizenship is plainly in the Constitution. bit.ly/4bI28aP

Fractured Truth

Nothing says "totally not threatened" like right‑wing outlets furiously quote‑tweeting No Kings with full logistics, talking points, and a photo that makes it look kind of fun.

IT’S NO KINGS DAY! Show up. Speak out. Share photos of your signs and rallies across the country. Stay safe. Stand strong. March for our democracy.

Most speakers close with “thank you” or “any questions.” He closes with “you can talk sex,” cause that’s totally normal.

Maybe this is why Mike Johnson said he didn’t “think” it was the intention to have boots on the ground today. Technically, they’re wearing Crocs.

You don’t get to bypass Congress with a thesaurus.

My voice may be quiet — but my words will not be silenced❣️

Greg Phillips was busy today!

h/t to @adammockler.com for pointing out this gem from 2016.

Basic hygiene: don’t share crisis “screenshots” without checking the real account, timestamp, and credible reporting. Slowing down by 30 seconds is one of the few tools we have left against industrial‑scale deception.

Leavitt says it’s all about missiles and proxies. Trump says only “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” will do, talks about installing “great & acceptable” leaders, and claims Iran “was going to take over the Middle East” if he didn’t attack. Wildly different end states all coming from the same White House.

Color me confused. I thought it was “over” when we obliterated their program the first time. Apparently, we’re going to obliterate it again, but only after it’s over. Again.

He's trying to remake the system so lawyers are there just to greenlight “lethality.” Commanders will face unlawful orders with no independent JAG beside them to say when things have gone too far. www.facebook.com/SecWar/video...

Trump covers the whole Venn diagram of friendliness. But he could have skipped talking about the universe of friendliness because it’s irrelevant to his apparent goal of world domination.

Graham is moonlighting as the president, two-thirds of the Senate, and all of Congress.

Nicely played, @fpwellman.bsky.social

pretty accurate!

Canada’s PM argues that legitimacy, integrity, and rules are still real forms of power if states stop performing the lie and enforce them together. Trump relies on language with clear authoritarian echoes that signals dominance and exclusion, not that of shared rules or mutual restraint.

Don’t let them gaslight you

@acyn.bsky.social Unlocked: Boat New claim available: Greenland Just one more turn.

@acyn.bsky.social When ‘we had boats too’ becomes a foreign policy doctrine, you’re no longer in a democracy, you’re in an empire audition.

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files. Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out. See for yourself.

A state service branded to the leader is a hallmark of personalist governance. Benefits appear to flow from Trump, not the institution. Citizens are repositioned as clients. Well-being becomes linked to political allegiance. The Constitution recedes, and Trump becomes the perceived gatekeeper.

1/2 Excerpts from French Senator, Claude Malhuret’s Speech (Dec 15, 2025) www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIdD...

This is how peaceful organizations become “violent domestic terrorists”: 1. Label them a “fifth column.” 2. Treat beliefs and associations as “indicators.” 3. Let law enforcement map the entire network. NSPM-7 provides the mechanism. steadystate1.substack.com/p/countering...

1/ No U.S. ambassador in Moscow. No assistant secretary of state for Europe. Trump’s handpicked fixer, Steve Witkoff, repeatedly refuses CIA Russia briefings www.wsj.com/world/putin-...

Remember a couple months ago when the entire right demanded people on the left be ‘canceled’ for merely criticizing Charlie Kirk — not threats, just criticism or even quoting him? Now the President is calling for members of Congress to be murdered. And that’s somehow acceptable.

Ah yes, nothing says “transparency” like pretending an insult was actually a public service.

The human cost of Trump’s crazy behavior is easy to miss: Slotkin and her colleagues now need 24/7 security. They didn’t choose this. They and their staffers now have to worry about safety. There are families living with fear tonight—all because the President threw a public tantrum.

Hey Bondi, the country isn't buying what you're selling.

BREAKING: The FBI trainee that was fired for displaying a Pride Flag is SUING the government, saying his removal was illegal www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/u...

This is concerning.

On Episode 100 of the UpsideDown, Miller and several Republicans claim Democrats are encouraging rebellion by stating that the military must not follow illegal orders. In his universe of inverted logic, unlawful orders become “lawful,” and reminding people of their legal duties becomes “illegal.”

This guy’s appeal to authority doesn't make his nonsense any more believable.

Chris Murphy comes with the facts. Trump isn't pro law enforcement. He pardoned violent rioters who assaulted Capitol Police on J6.

America’s weirdest on-again/off-again situationship has been renewed for another season.

According to Stephen Miller, the Democrats’ radical new agenda is… checks notes … telling people not to break the law. At this point he’d probably call the Surgeon General a terrorist for recommending sunscreen.

Don’t let this fool you. He is running the same play he always runs when he knows he’s exposed. It’s just preemptive framing and projection. Here’s the ploy: seize the narrative early, declare it a hoax, blame opponents, use a fake, tough-transparency bluff, and demand GOP loyalty.
