If it’s too good to be true, it’s not real.

What is next for MAGA?   I wrote about the MAGA civil war, the dynamics shaping this ugly struggle for supremacy on the Right, what Trumpism without Trump might look like, and why MAGA is likely to emerge more ideological and more radical.   Some thoughts from my new piece for @zeit.de:

I want to say it’s a sign of at least some progress that at least some white folks are actively disrupting law enforcement. Now…for the rest you.

The 13th Amendment became law 160 years ago today and ended slavery in the United States. That moment began a long journey toward equality that is still unfinished. I believe we must learn from our past and stay committed to justice.

RFK Jr. is a completely unqualified conspiracy theorist who is putting newborn babies at risk. The reckless decision to end a proven vaccine recommendation has no scientific basis. This guy has got to go.

At least one of the boats that Trump and Hegseth ordered the crew to be murdered wasn't even heading towards the U.S. www.cnn.com/2025/12/05/p...

Today marks 160 years since the ratification of the 13th amendment, which abolished legal slavery in the United States. We honor those who fought for freedom and rededicate ourselves to advancing justice, equality, and civil rights for all.

Trump only cares about the issues Americans face when it’s politically convenient for him.

Rep. Underwood will make another post when it’s time for public comments about this new plan to make nursing school more expensive.

During my remarks as Ranking Member of the Space & Aeronautics Subcommittee, I compared China's growing space science plans to Trump's continued attempts to cut NASA funding. For all the administration's talk of maintaining leadership in space, this clearly isn't a winning strategy.

I went before the House Cmte on Vet. Affairs to plead the case for my bipartisan Caring for Survivors Act. My bill provides benefit updates for surviving family members after the service-related death of a loved one. I will not stop until these survivors get the full benefits their loved ones earned

Donald Trump is once again going after American’s private data, this time threatening to withhold critical SNAP funding.

Let’s cut through the noise. The Trump admin. just arbitrarily decided to wreak havoc on the largest federal homelessness program, making changes that may cause more than 600 Delawareans to lose their housing. They're getting ready to literally leave people out in the cold.

The clock is ticking— we have 11 days left before folks start to feel the real impacts of Republicans’ health care crisis. @wyden.senate.gov and I introduced a bill to keep that from happening in the short term and make long-term fixes to bring down costs. There’s no time to waste.

So not only were we busy telling the world what we were doing on insecure Signal chats, we were shooting down our own people at the same time. It has costs to put incompetent people in charge of national security, and I fear we are just beginning to pay them. www.businessinsider.com/navy-warship...

Mr Healthy out there again today with some hand bandages

The affordability crisis is not a hoax. And the American people know it.

Not only was the boat not going to the United States, it was meeting another boat that was headed to Suriname! www.cnn.com/2025/12/05/p...

70 years ago today, the Montgomery Bus Boycott began. Days after Rosa Parks was arrested on December 1, 1955 for violating the ordinance requiring Black residents of Montgomery to accept second class treatment, the Black community organized and boycotted the city’s buses for over one year. 1/3

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake? TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

Biden: So, folks, that's my message to all of us today, to all who love our country, to all of us are dismayed by the present state of the union: it's time to get up, get up and fight back. Get up. Continue to fight. What's the fight all about? Protecting the constitution.

Hepatitis B vaccination has been recommended for all newborns since 1991. It led to a 99% reduction in pediatric infections and liver diseases caused by the virus have dropped dramatically. This is a terrible decision. Babies could develop liver infection or die as a result.

President Biden: My message to young people is this, just be you, you are loved.

The January 6 pipe bomb suspect is a Black Trumper who believed 2020 was stolen. Because, of course. apnews.com/article/fbi-...

NBC NEWS: Jack Smith’s final report “said that Trump ‘inspired his supporters to commit acts of physical violence’ by spreading ‘demonstrably and, in many cases, obviously false’ claims about the 2020 election.” @ryanjreilly.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Next week the Supreme Court will hear another engineered case with fake plaintiffs, which presents another opportunity for the GOP justices to blow a hole through what remains of our campaign finance laws—this time, by turning political parties into a conduit for bribes. slate.com/news-and-pol...

CDC's @drdebhoury.bsky.social calls on Congress to act. "It is a purposeful reshaping of CDC away from evidence-based practice & toward ideology-driven governance...I did not resign to make a symbolic point. I resigned because staying silent would have made me complicit." time.com/7338714/dr-d...

The CDC is compromised and is advocating against evidence-based public health. This is a pro-death and pro-disease recommendation.

The country's biggest anti-vaccine lawyer, the guy behind weakened school mandates in Mississippi and West Virginia, who pulls in millions a year harassing the CDC on behalf of Del Bigtree's anti-vaxx org is ... presenting at ACIP. This panel is anti-vaccine theater. It's a cruel joke.

The CDC is compromised baby killers. Full fcking stop.

Deranged chaos agent RFK Jr strikes US Health again with the CDC advisory panel rolling back a universal decades long hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns. There’s nothing pro-life about any of this, it’s called murder and MAGA was designed to carry it all out.

Since 1991, 90k childhoodlives have been saved by the Hep B vaccine. Over 38M globally have been saved. RFK Jr. and his sycophant CDC panel have recommended rolling back vaccinations. They are hell-bent on killing a future generation based on bad or non-existent science. SHAME.

"Keep sending in the donations, suckers! I never want to have to get a job!"

Once again… We fvcking told y’all in 2016 how important the courts are. From Bernie or bust bs to but her emails…this got us to today. Some of y’all still haven’t learned your lesson. Y’all gripe and complain about democrats and want to primary seats that are www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

I’m tired.

I hope y’all realize this is who y‘all are now depending on to win most elections in Texas. Good job regressives and compulsive complainers. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Fuckers. #January6

Himes: "What worries me is what causes a man of real integrity & w/ a storied professional history like the admiral to order this strike? My guess is it has something to do w/ the secretary of defense who writes a book about how we need a lot less ethics and lawyers involved & a lot more lethality."

I saw a post today of someone telling Hillary Clinton to shut up & go away & the comments were full of like-minded Hillary Haters whom, I'm assuming, really dislike being reminded of how badly they fucked up. However, we will always be here to remind you; SHE WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING

This fkking country, man.

The Near West Side home where Black Panther Chairman Fred Hampton was assassinated is the latest site to be commemorated on the Black Panther Party Heritage Trail. blockclubchi.co/48RWPEe

Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) said earlier today that seeing this video was "one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service." "People will someday see this video and they will see that that video shows ... an attack on shipwrecked sailors."

There is, of course, no daylight between Cotton’s position and “no quarter,” a war crime.

Cotton confirms that the US killed two shipwrecked sailors in a second strike. No fog of war. No ambiguity.
