Mark Cuban: Dems are “not offering any solutions and they’re certainly not saying ‘Break up the big insurance companies, break up the big hospital networks.’ At least if they said that, it would show that they understood what the hell was going on.” lnk.thebulwark.com/3L9cCFO

Ötzi and a 45,000-year-old Siberian were both infected with a cancer-causing strain of HPV. This is fascinating, and a reminder that we have a vaccine that *prevents cancer* and everyone eligible should get it.

The AG is *supposed* to be the people’s lawyer, not the president’s. This is outrageous. It also indicates Trump feels that he needs protection from Epstein file disclosures.

In case people tell you that public criticism of the court doesn’t matter, here’s Brett Kavanaugh trying to walk back what he said in the ICE roving patrol case - when he blessed racial profiling & called the stops prompt. He was lambasted; @akalhan.bsky.social coined the term “Kavanaugh stops”

Trump and his allies have raised nearly $2 billion since the beginning of his second term. The majority of donors contributing large sums also have a lot riding on the administration's actions, suggesting massive levels of transactionalism.

Boycott CBS.

"'If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient,' Ms. Alfonsi wrote." {gift link} www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

The 60 Minutes episode on CECOT that Bari Weiss tried to spike has leaked. youtu.be/lenFGZ5WUTA?...

This could wind up being the most-watched newsmagazine segment in television history!! Congratulations to the Ellisons and Bari Weiss!!!

Hate to say it, but you should no longer trust anything from CBS News. I'm sure there are great reporters there trying to do honest work, but how can we know anymore? If they're willing to kill a Trump-critical 60 Minutes segment at the order of Bari Weiss, it's been over.

Trump, Sept. 20, in reference to Erik Siebert, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia: “He didn’t quit, I fired him!” Trump’s deputy AG, three months later: Siebert wasn’t fired, he quit. These guys keep assuming that we all have bad memories.

Here's a quilt of Volume 4 of the Epstein document dump. Gives you a 10,000 foot view of the redactions. that's 2,704 docs.

At least 20 people who have received clemency from President Trump so far this year were also forgiven of financial penalties totaling tens of millions. Some of these offenders owed money to victims of fraud. Now they won't get their money back.

This is extraordinary, heartbreaking, and a red alert warning sign for our democracy. These people are about to be federal judges, and they refuse to answer whether the U.S. Capitol was attacked on January 6. They say they can't comment because it's "a political controversy".

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. Trump's economy.

Trump: Whine whine blame blame blame blame it’s always everyone else’s fault. Why even cover this

Jack Smith has testified he has proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump criminally conspired to overturn election: Join me LIVE on Substack at 1p ET: open.substack.com/pub/thefrank...

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

Exactly the sort of tyrannical behavior that the Constitution was written to prevent. See the Fourth Amendment in particular.

If the New York Times was waiting for a news hook to write a long-overdue story about how Trump is mentally unfit to be president, Trump has provided one today with his post saying Rob Reiner got murdered because he was mean to Trump. Write it, NYT. End the normalization. @nytimes.com

This is college in the United States. Video from inside a Brown University building shows the moment that police found a group of students who were sheltering after the shooting on campus. This isn't freedom.

Here are the names of the neo-Nazis who rallied at a Little Rock civil rights site on Saturday

Release the boat videos. Release the Epstein files. Release the ICE and Border Patrol body-cam footage. Justice Brandeis: "Sunlight is the best disinfectant." And there's so much the Trump administration's doing that needs disinfecting.

"Many in El Paso have close ties to Fort Bliss... On Saturday, area residents plan to hold a 'silent protest' at ICE offices near the Fort Bliss facility. Organizers ask demonstrators to wear black and hold signs that describe the conditions inside the camp..." www.ktep.org/2025-12-12/h...

The ACLU has posted 17 sworn declarations from people locked up at the Trump Adminstration's largest immigrant prison camp, at Fort Bliss in Texas. In World War Two, the same site was called the "Fort Bliss Enemy Alien Detention Station." Read the declarations here: www.aclu.org/documents/fo...

Lawless, criminal behavior

As a GOP activist, Harmeet Dhillon frequently insisted that the federal government has “little to say” about how states run their elections. Now, as head of the Civil Rights Division at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), she claims the feds have “sweeping” authority to seize state voter rolls.

Today in Politics, Bulletin 268. This is a big one. Noem runs out of a hearing after getting destroyed and Indiana Republicans reject Trump. That and everything else that happened today in politics. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

#GVerse #FuckICE detain U.S. citizen for "looking" Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground. Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse. The incident occurred at the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood in Minneapolis. #DemsUnited

Cruelty is their norm This is UNBEARABLY WRONG 5 hours in shackles! Cut off her wedding ring when processing her ! Happening in Minneapolis ICE MUST BE STOPPED Call Your Representatives 202 224-3121 !!

By 2026, health insurance costs will be so brutal that even healthcare workers won’t be able to afford the care they provide. When the people saving lives can’t afford to save their own, the system isn’t broken — it’s been torched. #TrumpInflationCrisis

Trump says Lisa Cook is unfit to be a Fed governor because she claimed two different properties as her primary residence on her mortgage applications. (Cook denies this.) Trump did the exact same thing on mortgage applications submitted a mere 7 weeks apart. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

NEW: The Trump administration has argued that Fed board member Lisa Cook may have committed mortgage fraud by declaring more than one primary residence on her loans. We found that Trump once did the very thing he claimed could be a crime.

Trump pardoned a Honduran drug lord who helped move TONS of cocaine into the U.S. Trump does not care about being tough on crime, stopping drug trafficking, or keeping Americans safe. This is corrupt beyond belief, and EVERYONE should call it out.

these clowns are REALLY going to say that Texas’s map - which targeted majority minority districts - was NOT discrimination on the basis of race. But they’ll say Louisiana’s map - drawn to comply with the Voting Rights Act and give Black voters representation- DID discriminate on the basis of race

ATTN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES: The VA sent out an announcement with a link for employees to self-report their disabilities. I wouldn’t do this if I were you. They’ll likely use it to discriminate against you.

This is the most consequential story for the 2026 midterms. Yet, I cannot find it anywhere on legacy media. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Rushing a project of this scale without full transparency is unacceptable. If the MPSC allows DTE to fast track the Saline project, every future data center will expect the same treatment.

It’s now official: Trump has pardoned one of the world’s most notorious drug traffickers. Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was convicted of drug trafficking last year in the U.S. and sentenced to 45 years in prison. 1/

This is why military service members should refuse to follow illegal orders. Because when the shit hits the fan, Trunp and Hegseth will deny everything and blame you. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
