Food and fossil fuel production causing $5bn of environmental damage an hour, says major @unep.org report - ending this harm key to global transformation required ‘before collapse becomes inevitable’ #climatecrisis Story by me www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Another sign that Trump is not just a US problem - he’s a threat to the entire world.

Two UK companies are on the updated UN database of firms involved in Israel's illegal occupation of the West Bank - JC Bamford Excavators and Greenkote plc. Minister Hamish Falconer is simply "aware" of the database and doesn't want to comment. #DCUKparliament

We really are on the brink of a health golden age.

Checked the numbers and the farm bailout is definitely not funded by tariffs. The $12 billion comes from taxpayers through the Commodity Credit Corporation, which USDA taps like a credit line. Treasury fronts the cash and Congress later refills it with taxpayer money. It's debt.

Putin isn’t planning to end the war. He has signed a decree calling up reservists for 2026 training. Russia’s mobilization reserve includes volunteers under contract — about 100,000 people as of official 2021 data. www.kyivpost.com/post/65859

"The Belgians have been getting pressure from the U.S. to not release the Russian Central Bank assets for Ukraine, because the Trump administration wants all that money to go back to Russia, while taking their cut – which is just jaw dropping."

While American families are expected to pay more for goods this holiday season due to Donald Trump’s tariffs, small-business owners are facing an existential crisis, Annie Lowrey reports:

This is the way.

This report should have panicked everyone on the left into concerted, coordinated effort to address the information asymmetry. But as far as I can tell it just came & went & Dems are still in "buy TV ads about affordability" mode.

The racist who used the N word has raised over $100k… which is three times what she would have made in a year working at Cinnabon Meanwhile there’s tons of good people on here asking for a few dollars to eat, pay for meds or remain housed Support mutual aid. Boost, share, like & donate if you can

this is hilarious

Incredible story. Incredible reporting from Phil Williams of Channel 5 in Nashville. A MUST watch. Extremely well done, and most alarming. Unsettling. I'm shaking.

Breaking NYT: The Honduran attorney general just announced that he issued an international arrest warrant for the country's former president, Juan Orlando Hernández, who was pardoned by Trump and released from a federal prison in the U.S. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/08/w...

After a backroom meeting with Donald Trump and a donation to the Trump ballroom, NVIDIA got a deal to sell the most advanced AI chip it has ever sold to China. The NVIDIA CEO should testify under oath in Congress.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge Monday dismissed Missouri Republicans’ attempt to stop voters from pursuing a referendum against the state’s newly gerrymandered congressional map. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump is letting NVIDIA export cutting-edge AI chips that his own DOJ revealed are being illegally smuggled into China. His own DOJ called these chips "building blocks of AI superiority." Trump and Lutnick need to answer to Congress on why they are selling out US security.

I think “the president’s allies are promising to destroy media institutions the president doesn’t like to curry favor with him” is very bad, actually

File under: No shit. We pay for food once to the store, again for Trump's tariffs, now again for Trump's taxes to pay the farmers for his tariffs. It's Stupid's Economy. Trump Insists Tariffs Will Buoy the Economy. For Now, He’s on Damage Control. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/08/u...

A GOP group hired people from across the country to go to Utah and gather signatures for a ballot referendum to repeal the state's anti-gerrymandering law. Now many are coming forward to say they are ill-treated, not getting paid, & reduced to "living in their cars." www.rawstory.com/utah-gop-267...

My 3 year old is thriving, healthy, and causing all of the headaches that a 3 year old typically causes for his parents. 3 years ago, when he was less than a month old, we spent a week in the ICU because, as we later found, he was hit by this viral epidemic.

Protesters packed the Indiana Statehouse Monday to fight against Republican plans to redraw the state’s congressional maps to give their party an extra advantage and eliminate the state’s two Democratic seats. Loud chants of “Stop the steal” filled the statehouse . newrepublic.com/post/204141/...

A House Republican in Missouri attacked a group of California voters this month in a post on X for trying to interfere in her state's politics — but then quietly deleted her post after realizing these voters were not from California at all.

Seeing Rolling Stone lay off multiple staff less than three weeks before Christmas, one of them Brittany Spanos, a cover story writer with 11 years at the title, really confirms how bad things are in media right now

The monopolies of the Gilded Age led Congress to establish the FTC as an independent agency. Its independence is meant to insulate it from political pressure so it can check corporate power and protect the American people. Trump wanting to upend this is very telling.

We're suing the Trump administration over its decision to hold an offshore oil and gas lease sale in the Gulf of Mexico — with no environmental review. This is blatantly illegal. ​

Yeah, look, I realize I just wrote something, but the NYT has managed to annoy me enough to get me to write something else. othermeans.io/p/reforms-of...

Trump says the bailout is only possible because of tariffs, but the tariffs are the reason a bailout is needed in the first place. He is bragging about half-ass fixing a problem he created while many farms have already gone bankrupt.

She has done great work!! Hire her!!

the guy responsible for giving us george santos is running for governor of new york lmaoooooo

Trump says without the tariffs we would not be able to help the farmers weather the complete collapse of their crop sales as a result of the Trump tariffs that Americans pay on imported goods.

Respectfully, Congresswoman, you voted with Republicans to strip due process from immigrants and to praise Trump's ICE. This year. Now you're upset? Votes have consequences. Minnesotans deserve better.
