When you are definitely not breaking any laws

Importantly, this wouldn't have passed without Dem support. There was enough of a split within Republican ranks that if Dems had voted against the bill it would've been doa. Giving Trump a blank check to warmonger *and* passing an anti-trans measure was a choice.

In keeping w “Kavanaugh Stops,” let’s call these Kennedy Pox.

Trump and his MAGA followers have been calling for journalists to be killed for an entire decade. It is unfathomable to me why every journalistic organization in the country doesn't treat them as the enemies that they are, let alone ignores that it's their rhetoric that incites people to violence.

"When I said in February that they were going to cast a wide net for deportations, I had no idea how bad it would be. This is not just a matter of aggressive deportation. The things that are being done by our government to our fellow human beings are monstrous." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

NEW: Emil Bove, thumbing his nose at America, is making a mockery of the rule of law. Attending Trump's rally on Tuesday, Judge Emil Bove let it be known that his DOJ actions were just the beginning. Bove must face accountability, and ultimately impeachment. Today, at Law Dork:

As people evaluate the credibility of DOJ’s disclosure of the Epstein files, it’s good to remember the bogus effort so far. 🧵

sex criminals stick together

congrats to the folks in Missouri -- great work

She always says the "quiet part outloud" and that's why I'm one of her biggest fans. She has no time for those Americans who pretend they did not KNOW. YOU KNEW. THEY KNEW. Everybody KNEW and pretended they didn't. Don't play dumb with Sarah or her fans.

Just joined Rep. Goldman & Rep. Espaillat in demanding answers from DHS after local police officers were injured responding to 911 calls about masked, plain-clothed, armed men dragging people from cars... who turned out to be ICE agents.

DOJ makes it clear: If Judge Boasberg wants to pursue a contempt case against Kristi Noem, he's going to have to pierce privileged conversations she had with Blanche, Bove and DHS lawyers – something DOJ says shoudl only happen at a trial. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Every time he opens his mouth, he reminds us he's a sad little boy who's easily bribed with shiny trinkets and gold stars.

Now we know what a "brief encounter" is under "Justice" Kavanaugh's standard: Having your window smashed, getting tear gassed by masked thugs, and then being held without charges for three days. 'Murica under the GOP.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Reckless, heartless, grifting Donald Trump is everything our Founding Fathers feared. Here's why I would still consider voting for him if he runs for an illegal third term. by Bret Stephens

Hegseth swore he had solid and inconvertible evidence of the guilt of each of these men, but they were absolutely terrified of letting any of them come near a US court. Their testimonies would convince people they were just fishermen (who may have smuggled), but definitely not trained terrorists.

Thinking back to how people were "hysterical" for calling trump white supremacist and now he's doing nordic theory on the campaign trail

ICYMI: the federal judge in Maxwell’s case is ordering the US Attorney of the SDNY to personally certify that he is in compliance with the rules and law. That US Attorney? It’s Jay Clayton, the one who Pamela Jo has handpicked to “investigate only the Democrats” relating to Epstein.

The man with the gilded office who lived in a golden tower with a golden penthouse and spends time at a private estate with a golf course would like you to tighten your belt, plebs.

The Parking Lot Lawyer & Insurance Lawyer could open a law firm together…although I’m not sure they’d be able to afford the malpractice insurance premiums. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family. No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

NEW YORK (AP) — Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott increased her donations to nonprofits in 2025, giving $7.1 billion.

what is it called when you work with people who try to attack Americans?

Release the Epstein Files

If your origins are Southern Italian, Irish, Polish etc. some version of this claim - the immigrant is a criminal underclass incompatible with the true Americans - has been around forever. They hate that the idea of America is more important than any group.

This you? Why is Cory Booker still voting for Trump’s agenda? www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

too real

its really fucked every day to live in a country with a leader this openly racist and the msm just nods along with it and the dems hardly ever say anything about it

…Dammit, Dave, you said you wouldn’t do this!

Trump bankrupted the farmers through his idiotic tariffs and now he’s going to give them your tax money to make up for his abject stupidity.

1. Under Ukrainian law, elections cannot be held while martial law is in effect. 2. If not 1, it's very hard to organize a free and fair election when millions of citizens are scattered around the world. 3. How to guarantee a free and fair election in the occupied territories.

Leavitt dodges a question about if Trump will release the video of the second strike against a disabled boat that killed two survivors of the first one

If someone in the White House press corps doesn't ask Trump today why he's so scared of strong women, they should all go home.

Stunned by how dishonest senators like Senate President Karen Spilka and Senator Nick Collins are being about Mayor Michelle Wu's tax shift home rule petition. It was filed in February. They ignored it. No right to complain that it's a brand new ask. #mapoli

"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."

this is going to apply to so many things, like the concussive looming harms from lobotomizing federal labor and consumer protection regulators

Yes the HHS Secretary just attempted and failed to do one complete pull up while rocking an untucked shirt and pit stains on TV, totally normal behavior for the HHS Secretary

I have such contempt for the lickspittles in the WH press corps who sit by passively while he does this to their colleagues. And for what? The privilege of allowing him to lie to you every day?

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

President Goodbrain can't remember what he said five days ago.

This is the Tufts PhD student who seized by masked agents on the street and jailed for two months because she wrote an op-ed calling for the school to divest from Israel.

Finally, a foe worthy of her talents.

Possibly the only thing more freakish than Nuzzi's prose is the contortions her defenders twist themselves into. "She's not just hot, but she definitely is hot, while also being a vulnerable smol child. Also, criticizing her is sexist."

"After her hearing ended, three-year-old Lucy cuddled her teddy bear as she walked back from the lawyer’s table and took a seat. Moments later, the next child was called up to face the judge..." coppercourier.com/2025/12/05/c...

Trump can despicably hide the facts, but we can all feel the consequences of his failed economic action and inaction.
