The measles outbreak in South Carolina is “accelerating” with no end in sight following Thanksgiving and other large gatherings, state health officials say.

ICE 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. Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

The fact that we already have Health Savings Accounts and the most marketized health care system in the world, and it is also the most expensive system does not seem to put a dent in these guy's theories of health economics

Powell: "Inflation for goods has picked up, reflecting the effects of tariffs."

Sure Jan.

An insane political move. One of the recurring complaints about immigration in the U.S. is that those seeking asylum jump the line. This is line-jumping — but for rich people, not those in need.

“It’s a crime to be a Latino right now in New Orleans,” he said. “I can be arrested just because of my face.”

don't worry, john roberts says this is a legitimate exercise of presidential power and if we did anything to curb it, we would be robbing the executive of the energy he needs to do his job

Tom Nichols: “This ongoing game show of ‘strike a boat every day’ […] is making us into worse people — every one of us, whether we’re in uniform or just ordinary citizens. It is spiritually and morally corrosive on every level.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

The boat was split in half. 9 men were dead. 2 more clung to a floating piece of wreckage and tried desperately to flip it over for 41 minutes straight. There was no possible way they were going anywhere. Then they were killed in cold blood by the U.S. military.

If after we blow your boat up you still float, you are a witch, so we can kill you. If you drown you are not a witch.

MSNOW Senator Mark Warner said FBI Director, Kash Patel, during the last 10 months has taken 45% of the FBI agents away from counterterrorism, cyber security, etc and reassigned them only to immigration enforcement and deportation otherwise the "pipe bomber" might have been caught sooner.

The postal service is not a business, measuring it by revenue is the wrong frame for understanding its worth.

This man ripped off teachers, nurses, small business owners - people from all walks of life and professions. Some lost their life savings. Not only did Trump let him out of prison, he also doesn’t have to pay back the victims.

Trump has issued 1500+ pardons and counting…a who’s who of drug kingpins, crypto scammers, violent insurrectionists, terrorism financiers & corrupt politicians. In Trump’s oligarchy, the rich and powerful can pay their way to reside above the law.

"What they are doing is writing term sheets for a new power arrangement that benefits Trump, Putin, their donors, and their oligarch circles — and leaves the rest of us to live with the consequences." They are bribing the greedy Trump to sell out Ukraine for a profit.

“.. A Washington Post analysis of multiple video feeds of the meeting Tuesday showed that during nine separate instances, Trump’s eyes were closed for extended periods or he appeared to struggle to keep them open, amounting cumulatively to nearly six minutes.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

By the numbers: Three weeks of talking about affordability Thousands of prices rising Hundreds of tariffs raised Zero substantive policies announced Dozens of lies that prices are coming down One billionaire calling your concern about affordability a “con job.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i... @thecity.nyc @gwynnefitz.bsky.social

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Exactly, bombing the boat in the first place was a war crime, and there have been many others. The kill shot on the survivors was a continuation of that ongoing crime spree, not the beginning of one.

Hegseth's failure to deny he ordered Adm. Bradley to kill all of them makes one wonder if that order isn't memorialized in a document. In any case all relevant documents, orders, memos, records of meetings, and videos should be provided to Congress. Along with sworn testimony from all involved.

Wilt Chamberlain. Bad. Ass.

That Pentagon *press corps* performance with Matt Gaetz and Laura Loomer among those asking questions feels like a pretty good indicator of how far over the cliff we are. Worth checking out. 🇺🇸

A Florida-based company is charging military veterans as much as $20,000 for help with disability claims, even though the VA has said that may be illegal and the service should be free. But so far nobody's stopping the company and others like it.

O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."

He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara notes the MPD will not work with federal agents & says "In moments like this, I know how real the fear is in our community. People are going to want to speak out, protest, & exercise their 1st Amendment rights. We will absolutely defend people's right to do just that"

Donald Trump spent last night having some bizarre social media fever dream. It’s long past time for the president's mental fitness to be a sustained front-page story. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...

Pastor Jorge Bautista was telling a Border Patrol agent "we come in peace" when the agent fired toxic powder at him, leaving him struggling to breathe. “No one should be assaulted for being out there protesting,” he says. With @frontlinepbs.bsky.social

Wow. Mark Kelly’s Devastating Takedown of Trump.

VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE THAT WILL WORK TO EARN YOUR VOTE Tomorrow is election day, TN-7, and I'm humbly asking for your vote. I promise to be accessible and only beholden to the voters of the district, never donors or special interests. Polls open at 7 AM & close at 7 PM. Let's go out and win this!

Scoop: They tried to bury this news on Black Friday, but, well... Trump crypto partner Alt5 Sigma told the SEC its auditor quit in Nov. We called the auditor. He resigned in August. That's the second SEC filing with an apparent conflict that Alt5 Sigma has made in recent weeks. 1/

Hillary Clinton on Facebook: “The Trump administration's corruption has extended to selling out Ukraine—and America's interests—to Russia so that the Trump family and their friends can make a few bucks.” #Pinks #ProudBlue #MomSky www.wsj.com/world/russia...

Trump has posted to Truth Social at least 75 times and counting in the past hour. It’s weirdo garbage produced by random people on X and TikTok across a number of topics, like conspiracy theories about Ilhan Omar and influencers who claim “communists” are attempting a color revolution in the U.S.

Trump’s Truth Social account is still posting like crazy and I don’t know if it would be better or worse if he approved everything that’s being published. If he did approve it all, he had time for nothing else today. If he didn’t, there are so many ways for this flurry of content to be exploited.

“It’s the Christmas season and the Secretary of Defense took a beloved children’s character and depicted him blowing up drug smugglers. You have to look at that and wonder: What the hell is wrong with these people?” — Tom Nichols @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Corruption is the force that’s defining Trump’s collapse—the golden plane, the crypto billions, the corrupt pardons He’s serving himself, not the American people We @democracydefendersfund.org have 225+ legal matters showing that pattern I explained on @ms.now👇 - TN

The FDA never released a comprehensive list of the drugs it allowed into the U.S. even though they were made by banned factories. So we made that list for you 👇

Trump told crews working on White House ballroom to ignore zoning conditions: report

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think: In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels. In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.
