Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!

Kristi Noem is a stone-cold liar who has zero credibility. There is nothing to suggest the shooting of an unarmed woman in Minneapolis was justified. This heinous killing must be criminally investigated to the full extent of the law.

The video that has emerged from Minneapolis makes it clear that DHS is lying — again. ICE shot and killed an unarmed civilian who posed no threat. I'm glad to see Gov. Walz call for full investigation. We must have accountability, and we must stop ICE's terror.

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video. The Trump administration is lying.

The man who shot and killed that woman in Minneapolis today had the word "police" on his chest. But these ICE agents are not police. We don't have a national police force. Policing is state and local in the US. "Police" implies local origins, understandings, connection, and accountability. 1/

Well I watched that video and I’m very upset now. Fuck I C E

Everybody call your senators and tell them to stop any aggression against Greenland

I gotta point out though that voters were barely paying attention and had the ultimate say here. In the comments people are unaware Trump had been impeached immediately after Jan 6 and was *actively being prosecuted in two federal cases* one of which was for Jan 6. 1/2

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

there's no justification for this and there's no winning scenario here

The Convicted Felon who has taken at least three cognitive exams & falls asleep during official meetings just bombed Venezuela and kidnapped its leader.

Signing off until 2026, so a preemptive Happy New Year! to everyone!

How I'm walking out of 2025

Time for the annual viewing with the family (My nephew when Billy loses the money: “omg, bro … 🤦🏻” 🤣).

Once again I find myself wrapping gifts at midnight and second guessing what I bought everyone … Anyway. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! 🎄

At the mall for one last thing

Waiting for my mailman like a stalker to give him his gift

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment. It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

Huge props to everyone leaking the censored 60 Minutes story on CECOT and passing out the video

CBS News may not want you to see its CECOT reporting, but I'm happy to share this powerful video that our team produced this year.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Time for the annual family viewing. #filmsky

I’m not a huge fan of Massie or Khanna but threatening Bondi with impeachment??

Everyone please stop asking me to do things. I don’t want to do the things. Any of them. (I am having a little holiday meltdown time over here)

Cheering myself up with a little travel festivity

Call up your GOP Reps especially these guys and tell them to vote for the discharge petition to extend ACA subsidies!!

What I should be doing right now: anything other than buying more books (I am buying more books 📚 )

Annual holiday viewing with the nephew

all i'm saying is that there were better options

UPDATE: Abrego Garcia attorney Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg told CBS News that his client was released from ICE custody Thursday afternoon in compliance with a federal judge's order earlier in the day. www.cbsnews.com/news/kilmar-...

🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

After months of delays from DHS, I was the first Member of Congress in years allowed into the ICE Processing Center in Broadview.

Time for the annual viewing

As the only Democratic nurse in Congress, I remember how expensive pursuing my degree was. And now, Trump’s Education Department is moving to make it even more expensive. Here’s how you can help.

Why we're in hell: Republican Rep shamelessly lies/doesn't care about governing so people get health care to NOT DIE. News hosts chuckle and mumble about "both sides," convey nothing informative to their viewers, and implicitly validate him. Voters keep voting these people in to do harm.

Pop star Sabrina Carpenter slams the White House for using “Juno” in an ICE arrest video: “This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”

1. No, that is not actually their job as legislators. 2. Jeffries does give an almost daily press conference to rail against the White House ... not that the media cares to cover it most of the time. 3. They won't be replaced before midterms because nobody wants this thankless job right now.

You guys, I did not know the movie Last Christmas has ALL George Michael songs and is legitimately quite good! 🥲

Annual viewing with the family:

The tiny truck with a Goldfish cracker in the Macy’s parade … am I going insane? Is anyone else seeing this?? #Thanksgiving #Macy’s

To all the children, dogs, potholes, and hills that tried to trip and kill me during this morning’s charity run … #Thanksgiving

Pie-making 101 ... a dramatic rendering (in thread form)

Stuck on a conference call, no end to my work day in sight, and I just want to quit and start making Thanksgiving pies

It’s a short work week 😀 … but I have to work even harder to get everything done like right now 🫩

I just need you to stop saying odd shit, Charlie Brown.

Watching my nephew’s school play and it’s a glorious chaotic adorable mess. Definitely cheering me up right now.

Surprise surprise, today sucked too!

Calculating the absolute earliest I can retire because it’s that kind of work week
