Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears. “I’ve waited 30 years. I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

I wish a single journalist or leader would reach out to me I have the scientific expertise, lived experience of a trans person, and am literally a science communicator for my career I'm willing to explain this even though I know it will decrease my personal safety!! bsky.app/profile/jeym...

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

There have always been some people who liked that Trump is an awful human being, and some who tolerated it because they thought they’d get something out of the deal. But when he’s failing, it becomes more of a liability. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/being-a-hu...

A review article concluding the weed killer Roundup--aka glyphosate--“does not pose a health risk to humans” has been retracted 8 years after documents released in a court case revealed employees of Monsanto, the company that developed it, wrote the article but were not named as coauthors.

Raccoon passes out on Virginia liquor store bathroom floor after drunken rampage

Are we in a game of chicken to see how far a handful of freaks can push things until we bring back consequences and / or guillotines? How have we hyper-normalized them saying this shit out loud in public?

One of the reasons I think it’s also essential to not call the boat strikes “war crimes” but “crimes against humanity,” is that it emphasizes that Trump and Hegseth are acting extra-constitutionally and are not entitled to any shield from the courts. This systematic murder of civilians is illegal.

BREAKING: A three-judge panel for the 3rd Circuit upholds a lower court ruling that former Trump attorney Alina Habba has been unlawfully serving as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor for months. The decision bars Habba from participating in any prosecutions as acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey.

Cw: suicide This article is devastating. Earlier this month, a 15-year-old died by suicide the day after posting about a substitute teacher insisting on misgendering him. Suicide can have many contributing factors. His family is speaking out about bullying and misgendering as two.

During my time on Trump's National Security Council, I reviewed a lot of calls between Trump and foreign leaders. One of, of course, was the call with President Zelenskyy. Another was with Trump and Mohammed bin Salman.

The crime is not what we were doing protesting in the 10th floor elevator lobby of 26 Federal Plaza. The crime is what ICE agents are doing on the other side of the door.

FDA is approving a new form of nalmefene for “prophylaxis” for “opioid exposure,” specifically citing fentanyl. “Fentanyl exposure” is not a thing. Fent has to be intentionally ingested to cause OD. It’s being made by a “blockchain-focused digital finance company” whose “biotech arm” is only this…

Crypto ATMs are almost perfectly designed to facilitate financial crime from the most vulnerable Americans. Be very suspicious of anyone who asks you to make a deposit into one; they are designed to make it impossible for you to get it back. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/t...

There was a time I truly believed the GOP would be coming to like a Sat morning after a bender…. But they started drinking again. It works… for a time. Be sure to watch “The Last Republican” on Prime, Google, or Apple TV

Wanna speak personally about this, not just politically. @dougjones.bsky.social is one of the most decent, smart, humble and dedicated people who truly truly TRULY has his heart in politics and policy for all the right reasons. I had the pleasure of working on a documentary w him. Fantastic guy.

I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream. Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.

Listen, once you get me talking about change coming to Florida, it can be hard to get me to stop. Thank you to the Polk County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Hillsborough Democracy Builders Society for being a part of this important conversation. Florida's next!

What ppl dont realize is that it’s a phrase from Sherlock, when the dog didnt bark, proving familiarity with the murderer. Bc trumps the rat, basically, is what hes implying.. not tht trumps guilty or hiding something. Hours w/ victim and never mentioned in police questioning..

Wow

It's 11:30pm, and I just came from the Rules Committee where I submitted an amendment to the GOP budget to restore medical care funding for veterans exposed to toxic substances. It's Veterans Day. Passing this amendment is the best way to show we care about America's heroes.

I understand the anger at leaders not doing what we hoped for. However the blame & vitriol adds to the polarization that is so toxic today. I’m trying to be compassionate & also - none of us know how this story is going to end. It might surprise us. Spewing hate is not the answer. End of sermon.

Maybe Trump just finally ripped America’s mask off so we can all see how fucking appalling everything is with our own eyes. There’s nowhere to hide from it now. Maybe it’ll trigger finally an actual fight back that will beat the fascists back into the night.

By sending us $2,000 to give to billionaire insurance CEOs, and by tripling the interest we pay to mortgage companies while he continues to limit what we can write off, he's effectively looting the treasury and using us a mules to launder the stolen money; funneling it to the wealthy.

Breaking WSJ: Fannie Mae watchdogs who were removed from their jobs had been probing if Trump appointee Bill Pulte had improperly obtained mortgage records of key Democratic officials, including New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to people familiar with the matter.
