Intentionally killing innocent people is always wrong. Wherever in the world it happens. You might think everyone agrees with this simple moral principle, and yet far too many people, on far too many different sections of the political spectrum, try and make exceptions to it.

It's actually not surprising that a guy who plays golf by dropping his ball wherever he wants it to be and has claimed he owes no federal income tax would not put any spin on the coin

Today, on what should have been a day of celebration, the Jewish community is instead mourning once again after a horrific attack at Bondi Beach, Australia, where two men opened fire and killed at least 12 people in a targeted terror attack against Jews celebrating Hanukkah. Antisemitism is evil.

Our strongest allies of many decades all over the world are saying similar things.

The RFK, jr effect.

Chancellor Merz is right: Europe can no longer depend on America. But he's wrong to say that America is pursuing its own interests. Trump is pursuing his deranged and corrupt interests, not ours.

U.S. Latinos are now more worried about being asked to prove their legal status during their daily activities (43% today vs. 31% in March), and roughly 1 in 5 have changed their daily routines because of it.

So that dementia Don can find his way.

Steve Bannon’s close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein deserves even more scrutiny. Every day. Bannon has manipulated press coverage for years, even while being a superspreader for rightwing extremism and idiotic conspiracy theories. Reporting every day. Bannon + Epstein.

Oversight Dems just dropped a new trove of photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate — including this one of Steve Bannon. @monacharen.bsky.social has a question: Where's the uproar over Bannon's connection to Epstein? Read it here: bit.ly/3Mq75uP

Murphy: "This isn't shocking, bc over last year, Trump has been engaged in a dizzying campaign to increase violence in this country. He's restoring gun rights to felons, eliminated the WH office of gun violence prevention & stopped funding mental health grants & community anti-gun violence grants"

The hero of Bondi: Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner from Sutherland. He grabbed the gun off one of the terrorists shooting at Jews during a Hanukkah celebration. Ahmed was then shot in the leg and shoulder by another terrorist. He’s being treated in the hospital and expected to be OK.

Murphy: "We need to understand the choice we've made in this nation to subject our kids to daily exposure to violence is not just about what happens inside schools. For many kids in our violent urban neighborhoods, it's about trauma that's breaking their brains & causing them to be unable to learn"

"The Trump Administration plans to abruptly eliminate as many as 35,000 health care positions at the Dept of Veterans Affairs this month... "The cuts come after a reorganization effort already resulted in the loss of almost 30,000 V.A. employees this year..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

“Commercial breaks were largely filled with spots from direct-response advertisers, including the dietary supplement SuperBeets. “Viewers of of the telecast on WCBS, the CBS flagship in New York, saw a commercial for Chia Pet, the terra-cotta figure that sprouts plant life after a few weeks.”

CONFIRMED: Progressive newcomer Alejandra Salinas has won an at-large seat on the Houston city council, beating moderate former councilmember Dwight Boykins. (Campaign was rocked earlier this year when Boykins said his website platform was generated by AI after Salinas accused him of plagiarism.)

CONFIRMED: Doug Weiss, the candidate supported by Dems, has been elected mayor of Pflugerville, Texas. He beats the GOP-backed Pat McCord.

“How many United States military veterans have you deported?” Magaziner asked Noem. “Sir, we have not deported U.S. citizens or military veterans.” Little did she know there was one staring right at her. trib.al/nKduO4h

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

just. brutal.

The recent tanker seizure shows they are absolutely capable of interdicting these vessels without any loss of life. They’re murdering because they want to murder.

Are we EVER going to do something about this??

IOWA — “I’m a very pissed off conservative Christian woman. I almost died because I was denied medical care after being diagnosed with a fatal fetus… Cornered by the system… pro life? Choose me. Choose the mother.” It had to happen to her to get this? #ForcedBirthNation

Fox is blaming RFK Jr. for the measles outbreak. They promoted him, supported his nomination, and now they are turning on him. 🙄

The horrific tragedy at Brown University is the 389th mass shooting this year and the 230th gun incident on school grounds so far this year. This is not normal and we don't have to live this way. bradyunited.org @bradyunited.org

More sanewashing. This isn't journalism. CNN is doing PR for a fascist president.

The Presidency was never intended to be a safe haven for criminals.

Major advertisers appeared to sit out a new CBS News town hall telecast Saturday, moderated by Bari Weiss and featuring an interview with Erika Kirk. Lack of Madison Avenue support could challenge the viability of the format, which Weiss wants to expand variety.com/2025/tv/news...

they said it. they actually said it.

If you're wondering what happened to Nate Silver, he was into the COVID lab leak theory and got negative feedback online, including from epidemiologists and virologists and (GASP!) posters, which added to his belief that The Woke are victimizing Nate Silver. It spiraled from there. I'm not kidding.

"Jobs including doctors, nurses and support staff," it says. They intend to drive up patient wait times to create dissatisfaction with VA, leading veterans to, presumably, call for privatization. They can't suggest privatization now because veterans love VA. So they intend to turn vets against it.

Fact-check: true

Two victims of previous school shootings — Mia Tretta, who was shot in the stomach in 2019 at Saugus High School, and Zoe Weissman, who survived the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — are now at Brown. Gun violence is out of control in this country.

President Trump said Rep. Ilhan Omar shouldn’t be allowed to be a congresswoman. Omar says Trump has a “creepy obsession” with her. “I’ve never been one to dwell on the words or attacks of bullies.”

A year after touting the “historic realignment” of minority voters that powered him to a second term, President Trump’s multiracial coalition is slipping away. https://wapo.st/4aNcshz

Incredible footage out of Australia, confirmed by NEWS AU, of a brave bystander neutralizing one of the terrorists in the Bondi Beach attack which took place during a Hanukkah gathering. Australian authorities say multiple people have been killed. At least two suspects are in custody.

OK then, what was the action? What has the Trump admin done? What proposals have they made? They have only ever offered “thoughts and prayers” on social media. Nothing else.

Horrific, disgusting, inexcusable, antisemitic

It's because she doesn't know how to be the head of CBS News. Just no clue what a person in this role does. Similar to how Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy don't know how to be cabinet secretaries. A hallmark of this movement is people being out of their depth. It says, "expertise is unnecessary."

this is crazy: "ICE agents descended on one construction site in subzero temperatures, leading to a standoff with protesters and workers. One man was taken to hospital for exposure. The other waited out the siege and was taken to safety after the agents left." www.startribune.com/ice-agents-v...

This is what Trump is posting while an active shooter is on the loose

The thing you need to understand about the Right is that they are absolutely fine just plain burning down higher education if taking it over ideologically doesn’t work. They’re perfectly happy reducing it to ashes.

Boyle: He would come on the local news doing his whole shtick: the biggest, the greatest, the most gold ever… then so many of those casinos went belly up. And by the way, do you know how bad that is? There used to be no competition from surrounding states. That’s how bad he is at business

The irony in this is that Kirk spread online conspiracies about shootings for years, and was always against any regulation of social media. But the self-appointed MAGA hall monitor has things figured out.
