Dave Willat was just 11 years old when he showed up for what he thought would be a routine church choir practice in 1965. He and his fellow singers ended up making history. n.pr/3KZCl3a

NEW: The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

Game on, a-holes…

Republicans are saying there was no probable cause to search Mar-a-Lago. That is not true. I explain and provide all the facts in this piece (If you find information like this useful, you can sign up for my newsletter for free): joycevance.substack.com/p/jack-smith...

Let’s face it. That people chose a man with no morals, ethics, values or decency over a highly qualified woman (twice) is what destroyed the White House. We could rebuild the East Wing, the Rose Garden and purge all his gaudy ornaments…but the stench of Donald Trump will persist for generations.

Q 1 is if this happened. it would not be a typical emoluments clause style ripoff the taxpayers. Far worse, it would be collusion w/ the DOJ which is supposed to vigorously defend against such lawsuit and that taxpayer's interests, and an amount untethered to any law.

A unicorn sighting. …and by that I mean a Republican with a conscience.

If you’re telling Head Start programs they can’t say “disability”, “Black”, “female”, or “Tribal” in order to get funded—you don’t care about kids. Period. This administration is attacking the very protections that keep children safe and supported. Our kids are not political props.

I know this man has no soul…I know there is no bottom to his cruelty and depravity…yet, his complete and gleeful disregard for the dignity of the office he holds…invariably leaves me speechless.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Remember when we were not losing jobs in droves, or at odds with all our allies, or attacking other nations for their resources, or deploying masked thugs to terrorize our citizens, or pardoning drug traffickers and violent criminals in exchange for bribes? It was only little over a year ago.

Three Shirts McGee’s entire MAGA schtick was about draining the swamp, exposing the deep state cabal blah blah… Here he is palling around with Jeffrey Epstein. They are the monsters they were warning us about.

Goddam why does 1918 go so hard

“He is not unstoppable and you are not without power” Remind yourself of this every day. Especially on the bad days.

"It's not that we have a unitary executive, but we have a wayward executive...a corrupt executive," @gtconway.bsky.social tells @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social. "We have an executive who defies the law, who fails to execute the laws properly because he doesn't consider himself bound by the laws."

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

Context: rebel General John Bell Hood sent Sherman lots of letters decrying a long series of abuses he thought the Yankees were up to, in increasingly longer and longer screeds. Sherman patiently answered them all - until he snapped with the above. Source: www.historynet.com/fighting-wor...

I have more respect for the Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe at George W Bush than any of the cowards in the current White House press pool.

It's impressive that Big Tech was like: We aren't douchy enough. What if we made asshole intelligence and burned up some of the earth's power and water faster?

Reject any and every lie of this regime that they are fighting the drug trade. Their boss pardons a drug kingpin who helped bring 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

Owning shares in a soybean farm does not make you a soybean farmer. All it means is that you are rich and understand the tax code.

A date which will live in infamy. A quiet dawn. A sudden attack. An enduring legacy of courage. Today, we remember the servicemembers who gave their lives defending our nation at Pearl Harbor. Their sacrifice is woven into the fabric of our freedom. #PearlHarborRemembranceDay

Trump: Make America White Again

Trump said last year that he would focus on deporting immigrants who were violent criminals. But a study of arrests in major operations in DC, LA, Illinois and Massachusetts shows that the vast majority of those swept up by ICE have no criminal record. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The former New York City mayor, a longtime backer of historically Black colleges and universities, has a new initiative to support young Black students.

“Corporations are people” “Let the states decide on women’s reproductive healthcare” “The president cannot be indicted for anything deemed an official act” …just a few of their gems that have generationally marginalized democracy and rule of law in our republic.

lol yes when you tell Europe to rearm, this is what happens, you absolute muppets Can’t wait for the hand wringing that happens when they rediscover stupid nationalistic tendencies and get another arms race going followed by a fucking massive war Which was all preventable

Starting Jan. 1, traditional Medicare recipients in Washington state will face a new hurdle to get certain procedures covered — private AI companies that get paid based on how many claims they deny. (via @kuow.org)

"We've had lies and stonewalls before. One’s tempted to say first time tragedy, this time farce. But war crimes aren’t a farce. Congress should investigate them. And a broader war—unjustified, unauthorized, unlawful—wouldn’t be a farce. Congress should stop it." www.thebulwark.com/p/lies-cover...

Imma need everyone who threw a fit over Hunter Biden to keep that same energy about Jared Kushner - who has no government role or oversight - sitting in on this meeting www.reuters.com/world/china/...

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

1/2 This has got to be one of most painful responses to watch. The White House simply does not deny the follow up strike was to allow no survivors. And the 'law' Leavitt cites is utterly irrelevant (self-defense is a non-sequitur, it's not armed conflict, and 'no survivors' is a crime).

To be fair, Trump and Hegseth are more Klink than Rommel

About that phone call being perfect…

ALWAYS Remember the 5th of November 2024!!!

“Oil? What oil? We don’t want Venezuelan oil. And Canada has nothing to worry about. We’re friends!”

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

Not sure who needs to hear this but a US President can not pardon someone being charged for war crimes at The Hague.

I didn’t know her, but I wish I had.

"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."

1/ You must refuse illegal orders.” That’s what 6 Democratic members of Congress said on video. Trump called it seditious. The FBI launched an investigation. Then came reporting in WAPO about an order SecDef Hegseth gave ahead of the 9/2 attack on a boat allegedly trafficking drugs in the Caribbean.

Under Trump, 591 books by Black authors have been banned from Pentagon-run schools and libraries, according to Onyx Impact. @delanomassey.bsky.social www.axios.com/2025/11/29/f...

During the government shutdown, disruptions in food aid rippled across reservations. Both residents and tribal officials had to make tough choices, and are still feeling the financial impacts. n.pr/43VauYn

We need to start calling him this #SecretaryofWarCrimes

Many Republicans will not fight against his cruelty until it’s them facing his barrel. Whether it’s wanting to defend our ideals or selfish self-preservation, more Americans reject his darkness every day. When the pendulum finally swings towards sanity and decency, let it do so like a hammer.
