What a sick joke. Will they put photos of the murders in the Caribbean Sea in the lobby? How about a photo of Trump clapping as the murderer Putin arrives in Alaska? Or Trump having the time of his life with the murdering Saudi Prince MBS? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/u...

Tennessee, vote for this lady. Imagine a world with even a single consequence for fascism.

I have a few thoughts on how to stop our current descent into madness. Add your own in the comments. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

They keep booking these guests thinking that they’re informing Americans by asking “tough questions” into the air, and having them ignored. If you want answers, invite actual experts. Look some people up. Do some “reporting” and find someone knowledgeable. Come on, already.

Congress and the supreme court gave their power away to Trump, everything that comes next falls squarely on their shoulders.

We must do whatever we can. Now. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

It shouldn’t take a slur that impacts you personally, or losing your healthcare or SNAP, or being forced to sell your farm, or having to watch a loved one get unjustly detained and deported...to walk away from a madman. Cruelty isn’t strength. Reject it. Always.

Extraordinary WSJ reporting today that unveils the extent to which Trump, Witkoff, Kushner and US business executives are salivating over business deals with Russia while Putin’s forces kidnap Ukranian children and bomb civilians in their apartments. 🎁 www.wsj.com/world/russia...

It’s clear that the primary interest of the US in “peace negotiations” is to create opportunities for Trump, Witkoff, their family members, business partners and cronies to make billions from business deals with Russia, and Ukraine is just the annoying nuisance in the way.

Two things we learned today: 1. Pete Hegseth murdered *suspected* drug runners. 2. Donald Trump pardoned a *convicted* drug trafficker. That’s where we are, folks. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/w...

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Tragedy in DC. My full take is on Substack: substack.com/@thefrankfig...

It's easy to be numb because it's par for the course nowadays, but repeatedly calling a reporter who asks a reasonable question "stupid" is conduct unbecoming for a small-town mayor, let alone the President of the United States. The press exists to play a watchdog role, not be a supplicant.

So Jim Justice is one of the wealthiest people in the country. And in 2021, we wrote a story about how almost never paid taxes www.propublica.org/article/how-...

Senator Kelly’s remarks in the video are “a 100% accurate representation of what the law says." “No American citizen should have to deal with this type of preposterous investigation.” - Professor Eugene Fidell, leading military justice expert in Wall Street Journal www.wsj.com/politics/mar...

Only someone this wealthy would so flippantly suggest you uproot your life, sell your house, pull your kids out of school, quit your job, request a transfer — all to save 50 basis points on CPI. 🤡

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

I’ve never seen a clip of this man speaking that didn’t make me want to throw things. Snide, condescending and deeply dishonest. Feels like a villain from a bad 80s teen comedy.

Did you know Canada has only had 11 school shooting deaths ever...in our entire history?

I love strong women! They know how to bring it! Have a listen #Pinks youtube.com/shorts/5xwSf...

If we were still a nation that valued law and order, a nation that honored its ideals over partisan loyalty, then Donald Trump would be scorned by EVERY American for being the dangerous, divisive wretch that he is. Every single one. 6/6

If Congress will not pass a resolution condemning Trump’s unhinged calls for the imprisonment and execution of elected officials, they’re essentially giving him permission to keep pushing for political violence.

Some of the best reporting on air now is being done by @lastwordmsnow.bsky.social @lawrenceodonnelljr.bsky.social

also we now have a “whites only” refugee policy. they aren’t trying to hide the white supremacy anymore. it’s overt and mainstream.

It’s quaint, I know, but the President of the United States calling for the hanging of Democratic service members for saying that no one should follow an illegal order should inspire a conversation about the 25th Amendment.

Nothing on NYT front page about Trump calling for Democrats to be executed. Nothing on WAPO front page about Trump calling for Democrats to be executed. Nothing on CBS News front page. ABC News. CNN. NBC News. You're all failing. Shame on all of you. Front and center. No excuse.

@schumer.senate.gov SENATOR: If THIS doesn't qualify for the removal of a President via the 25th Amendment, nothing does. DO YOUR GODDAMN JOB and push PUBLICLY towards 25th Amendment hearings. NOW.

Reminder: Lindsey’s phone records were subpoenaed because he called the Georgia Secretary of State to try and get him to change the 2020 election results for Trump.

Keith Boykin solves the Trump Problem in under 2 minutes.

Bravo, @lawrenceodonnelljr.bsky.social @lastwordmsnow.bsky.social on the powerful, incisive assessment of today’s legislative humiliation of the president. Best analysis of the day’s events I’ve seen anywhere.

I noticed this is getting engagement so folks must be talking about Olivia Nuzzi again

In one of the emails, Epstein said Trump is "the dog that didn't bark." For those who don't know, the expression originates from a Sherlock Holmes story where the dog's silence at the time of a crime indicated the criminal was known to the dog.

And then think of what a cornered psychopathic human being with the morals and instincts of a rat and control of over five thousand nuclear warheads would do.

I need help building a team so I can cross the country next year, raising awareness of the lack of home healthcare access for people like myself on Medicaid. I wanna make as much noise as possible before the midterms. Please like and share this video

For perspective, remember that there are 77M incompetent scumbags in America, and the only thing they had to do last year was vote properly— and they couldn’t even manage to do that.

They're mad he's too busy enriching himself and protecting his pedo friends and not spending enough time on their America first concentration camp program. It's great that Trump's coalition seems to be falling apart but these people do not share our values and never will.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

If you engage in an insurrection to overturn an election on behalf of the president, you get a pardon. If you illegally possess firearms, that too will be excused. Trump’s actions are a dangerous invitation to lawlessness, if you use that lawlessness to keep him in power.

feckless and stupid people play acting at political strategist when they should be denouncing a *substantively* corrupt move

1. A thread by @reidhoffman.bsky.social — the tech entrepreneur/investor and philanthropist — who was named this morning by President Trump as a person the DOJ should investigate with respect to Jeffrey Epstein.

Basically saying "if you do crime for me, I won't only pardon you--I'll give you millions of dollars of public money." Truly unprecedented level of corruption www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

At last, Trump gets his landslide. More than two-thirds of the Epstein email threads mention him - a supermajority.

It’s beyond disgusting. It’s intolerable. This rapist, this criminal can’t be allowed to control the levers of power in our country. He should be in prison. #ImpeachConvictRemove … and any Republican who fails in this duty has to be voted OUT. Fight, fight, fight with all our might.

The problem of course is we have a political and economic system that has eliminated the downsides of insane behavior and risk taking. You can burn down the world and then shrug and walk away with billions. Seems like a problem

The amazing thing about this admin is the corruption is so literal and so overt — in many cases, it’s just a direct transfer of taxpayer dollars to themselves and other b-villains from the show, like this is all completely normal, bc they can’t be bothered to extort corporations & interest groups

WHY, indeed

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"
