@openargs.bsky.social Just listened to Matt’s Thanksgiving episode. It was fantastic and uplifting. Thank you!

@sterlingminor.bsky.social Good job Sterling on today’s Houston Chronicle ad pointing out the corruption and bad policies of the current administration. I’m glad you spoke up.

$20 for a $2 fake bill. How Trumpian.

Every day someone asks me what I am worried about and what they should do to help build a new opposition. I hope you watch and share. youtu.be/MyPCBn4ZiQU

Steve Bannon and Mike Davis clearly read my piece in @democracydocket.com about the need to build a new opposition to Trump. Shouldn't you subscribe for free? www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

It’s too early to know how exactly Trump will carry out his mass deportation plans, but one thing is certain: private prison company profits stand to skyrocket.

RBG PAC’s $20M last-minute pro-Trump abortion campaign wasn’t just shady (and completely opposed by RBG’s surviving family members)—it was fully bankrolled by Elon Musk, new campaign finance reports show. Billionaire meddling in our elections must be stopped.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

FANTASTIC NEWS! Romania’s Constitutional Court has just annulled the first round of the presidential election due to heavy Russian interference. The second round will not take place on Sunday and the first round will be re-run. The electoral authorities will have to validate all candidates again.

A little reminder for all those who say segregation was “so long ago”: Ruby Bridges, the first black child to attend an all-white elementary school, is still alive and well.

Fact Check: TRUE

this is the equivalent of thinking that a magic 8ball is really talking to you

You can put lipstick on a pig, you can polish a turd, and you can put an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon in the Oval Office, it won't change who they are. He will forever be a convicted felon. A lame duck with no mandate. Don't just give in to him. DEFY HIS ASS. #TheDefiance

Pete Hegseth has agreed to submit to an FBI background check. @NBCNews @MSNBC

THE PARDON ISN’T ABOUT WHAT HUNTER DID. IT’S ABOUT WHAT TRUMP HAS THREATENED TO DO. Too many “liberals” are wringing their hands because they’re afraid to fight Trump and fight for democracy when necessary. GET AN ANGRY SPECIAL TUESDAY COUNTDOWN PODCAST: tinyurl.com/3p9vesjp

What is even the ostensible justification for short-circuiting or bypassing a full background investigation for Trump nominees? We’re talking about info always considered central to assessing suitability & security risk.Can only be to keep that bottled up.Something like Trump 1.0 not providing taxes

“With the nation facing a possible bird flu outbreak, are they really prepared to roll the dice on the lives of their constituents, by placing someone in charge of public health who has made it clear that he will prevent the approval of lifesaving vaccines?” www.nytimes.com/2024/12/03/u...

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

Accurate.

How to cope with an increasingly turbulent world? Currently, I'm cuddling with Mabel & avoiding reality entirely.

Where’s the lie?

150 statutory powers may become available to the president upon declaration of a national emergency. Some are ripe for abuse.

I have recommended everyone w/GOP Senators who aren't among those who voted for Rick Scott (like Tommy Tuberville) to call your Senators & implore them to insist on FBI background checks for Trump nominees. DO THAT! Point them to this Andy McCarthy column. www.nationalreview.com/2024/12/trum...

It’s past time for new leadership. Pass the torch to the fighters.

His mom called him an "abuser of women." His colleagues said he was a drunk, abusive creep. Donald Trump wants him to lead the Pentagon. www.newyorker.com/news/news-de...

And he's an alleged rapist.

As you plan your end of year giving, consider donating to fuel funds. They help low income households pay for heating in the months. (The one near me is administered by the Salvation Army and my gas utility. It’s the only time I donate to SA.) washingtonareafuelfund.org

The billionaire oligarch Assad is bombing civilians and hospitals all over Syria. This is what happens when the ruling class takes over our governance and nations. To hoard our resources and control us they are willing to exterminate whomever.

Takes like this are nuts. How did Trump justify his last couple hundred pardons, one more nakedly obscene, political and personal than the next? Answer - he didn’t. Trump doesn’t bother justifying or explaining anything He does what he wants. Always has, always will. Wake up.

Compared to the list of Traitor Tot's pardons, hunter Biden is an absolute angel. See for yourself: rb.gy/lfkzsb

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

My only issue with Biden pardoning Hunter is if he stops there. While Trump pardons war criminals, Biden should commute the death penalty, cancel all student debt, & protect abortion nationwide Get bold. Take action. Slow down MAGA fascism! Fight! www.qasimrashid.com/p/biden-pard...

BIDEN PARDONS HUNTER. GOOD! NOW PARDON 10 MILLION OTHERS. Anybody Trump's fascists might persecute? Pardon them. All of them. And after the Patel atrocity, what does the phrase “all enemies, foreign and domestic” in Biden's oaths mean? GET THE NEW MONDAY COUNTDOWN PODCAST: tinyurl.com/2kj3298d

I love this idea that Biden pardoning Hunter will somehow ‘justify’ or ‘excuse’ Trump pardoning the Jan 6th prisoners, ignoring the fact that: 1. Trump had promised to pardon them long before Biden did this. 2. There is nothing comparable between Hunter’s crimes & their crimes.

He’s freeing all the violent criminals. I know these guys. I’ve filmed them for years. The rule of law is dead. It’s going to be like Clockwork Orange out there. Let’s just see how long it takes for the rest of America to fight back.

I dont know about yall but I still haven't recovered from 2020 and I can't believe we have to do this shit again lol

Pardon Hunter? GREAT. Now pardon everybody else. Every prosecutor, every Biden administration staffer, every media figure, everybody Trump will persecute. 10,000,000 pardons. At least.

It would really be great if we could all just agree now that this is the one time in US history that it will be okay for the sitting President to pardon a blood relative

"Way to go, Joe!" Says Rep Jasmine Crockett about the pardon of Hunter Biden. "We have a 34 count convicted felon that's about to walk into the WH. So for anyone who wants to clutch their pearls now, I would say take a look in the mirror."

These appointments prove that insisting people achieve and be promoted based on “merit” was never really their real concern.

Anyone you see on your timeline right now praising RFK Jr. is a person you never need to take seriously on anything ever again. It is difficult to overstate just how extreme, conspiratorial, and insane RFK’s views are, on vaccines, microchips & beyond. He’s Alex Jones in a suit.
