#Affordability #thanksTrump From December 2025 to February 2026:

Folks are dying from winter storms and the power has been out for a week but the government can spend big money on detention camps. bsky.app/profile/cost...

More #Epstein, if you can stomach it.

I’m just curious why #Epstein is not always trending… And why not today?

I can’t believe it took me this long to realize the real focus of those flying the Gasden flag was the ME part, not the DON’T TREAD ON part. They’re fine with us being tread upon, even unto death.

The Libertarian Party just advocated abolishing ICE. I will never vote Libertarian. But this is why I care, even as a leftist: GOP voters will need an off-ramp when they start to realize they’re the new Nazi party. I don’t JUST want a vote split. I want the GOP to wither under its own rot.

What are members of the Professoriate — particularly those in the social sciences — planning to talk with students about tomorrow? Just sticking with lectures straight from the syllabus, or in any way trying to address the world we’re living in at the moment?

Please SHARE if you agree!

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.” Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: 🇦🇺 0 🇨🇦 0 🇩🇰 0 🇫🇮 0 🇫🇷 0 🇩🇪 0 🇮🇸 0 🇮🇪 0 🇮🇹 0 🇯🇵 0 🇳🇱 0 🇳🇴 0 🇵🇹 0 🇪🇸 0 🇸🇪 0 🇬🇧 0 🇺🇸 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

Happy Holidays from south Florida, a place that would not receive a cent of our tourism dollars were it not for our kids and grandchildren.

Is it fair to assume that Trump’s diatribe on #RobReiner is an attempted distraction from some story we may or may not yet have heard? I mean, I know he is perfectly capable of being this disgusting for no reason, but he over goes this far over the top for reasons, too.

I know this is like the 6,755th least important this happening today, but can we talk about Melania’s Christmas theme this year? www.vanityfair.com/news/story/m...

A little late to the topic, but does anyone else get “crematorium to a mass murder” feels from this design?

Turns out, this song was wasted on Bush. I’d love to see a talented someone repurpose it to our present need. music.youtube.com/watch?v=Bwji...

@teenvogue.com @vanityfair.com can’t say I’m proud of you for this. Honestly, wtf do you think you’re doing?

@teenvogue.com This really strikes you as a good idea? www.refinery29.com/en-us/black-...

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president. The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

It’s wild to hear that petty Donald Trump punished NJ’s Jack Ciattarelli by abandoning his pledge to promise funding for the crucial NJ->NYC Gateway Tunnel project on a tele-townhall, which might’ve helped Jack’s election prospects, because JC told a reporter he’d give Trump an A grade. Not an A+.

@unroll.skywriter.blue unroll pls

Looks like the Big Repudiation is in.

This day, in headlines

Two weird “grassroots” campaigns in NJ this year. Both for Ciattarelli. 1. a petition in complaint about electric rates, which I believe was used to harvest contact info 2. an environmentalist appeal “NJ-Stop the Madness of Overdevelopment and environmental destruction” Not typical GOP strongholds.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field. In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront. By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

#UnitedAirlines what does the administration have hanging over your CEO’s head … or what sweet incentive is it offering you?

New Washington Post/ABC poll on government shutdown blame • 45% mainly blame Trump & Republicans • 33% mainly blame Democrats • 23% are not sure www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

“.. The US now doles out nearly $200 billion in direct subsidies for favored businesses each year, and the president has imposed an expansive tariff regime, which will likely invite corruption, waste tax dollars, and sap ambition.” @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Oh.

#EastWingDemolition means last year’s 8th graders on the annual school trip to Washington were the final of at least three generations to begin their White House tour through this entrance. How many hundreds of thousands of American kids believed it when someone told them it was the people’s house?

Who here took an eighth grade school trip to Washington, DC, and approached the White House via this now-demolished entrance? Me. My husband. Our kids. Our grandchildren.

@unroll.skywriter.blue unroll por favor

Then they all deserve to see #Epstein trending

#Epstein didn’t quit for, like, 20 years. We won’t either. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Get the bugs out! Or, stay off my lawn? idk🤷🏻‍♀️ Just try to keep the neighborhood nice

Here’s the post https://open.substack.com/pub/margaretsullivan/p/the-media-is-largely-ignoring-the?r=1yc91&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

@sulliview.bsky.social: The media is largely ignoring the trauma of millions. Here's why.

Plan to attend #NoKings but prepare for provocateurs first by participating in this #ACLU training act.aclu.org/a/no-kings-k...

MIT rejects "the Compact" orgchart.mit.edu/letters/rega...

Our personal tech columnist @geoffreyfowler.bsky.social tracked the prices of a bunch of items on Amazon ahead of the latest Prime Day sale. Turns out only a few prices went down, many stayed the same... and several went significantly *up.* www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Not sure if it’s truth or trolling (although I’d suspect better of ES), but #Epstein and #EpsteinFiles should still be trending all day every day.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent. Will you? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-re...

Because I needed an LOL moment, and maybe you do, too.

Spot on.

Lutnick on Epstein: Devine: So how come these other people could hang around him and not see it? Lutnick: They participated. That's what his M.O. was, "Get a massage" And what happened in that massage room, I assume is on video. This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever. That's how he had money.

I’m sorry, but if #Epstein isn’t still trending, I feel like we’re not doing our jobs. Release the #EpsteinFiles

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

Today would be a good day to release the Epstein files.

Biden in office, GOP House and Senate: DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN!! Trump in office, GOP House and Senate: DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN!! Allowing one party to control the media narrative because they’re loud and dumb is absolutely ruining people’s understanding of how anything works.
