Fired. Investigated. Silenced. Reuters documented at least 470 targets of retribution under Donald Trump — from federal workers and prosecutors to universities and media outlets. It’s the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.

People often ask me: How are you holding up in these difficult times? I'm okay — but I want to hear how you're doing. Please let me know in the comments.

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

And how exactly will Trump “cure cancer” without science and medical research funding?

Yes it’s me

Vance loves to deploy fabricated racist fearmongering. First Haitians are eating the pets, now Indigenous people sacrificed children?! Sheesh.

If inflation comes up at the dinner table, don’t forget to draw attention to a deeper structural driver of high prices: corporate power. Much of the food industry is dominated by a few corporate giants with the power to keep prices high because they face little competition.

Rumor is even GOP House members are sick of being treated like potted plants, with many more threatening early departure.

Cognetti: We don’t want Joe Rogan or OAN talking about this district because we have a congressman who has become one of the most prolific stock traders—someone who dumped six figures’ worth of Medicaid provider stock a week before he trashed a trillion dollars of Medicaid.

NEW: A $1 MILLION DOLLAR SANCTIONS order against Felon Trump & parking lot lawyer, Alina Habba, has been upheld by a federal appeals court. I've got the details of that order, incl. the affirmation that Trump has a “pattern of misusing the courts” for bad faith litigation. youtu.be/TCK_WP0b6XA?...

We’ll see. 🤞🏻

Don’t tease me today. I’m not up to it!

Trump’s attack on our independent judiciary is an attack America itself.

During the government shutdown, Republicans refused to negotiate with Democrats over the enhanced ACA subsidies. Though the subsidies expire at the end of 2025, Republicans insisted that the issue could wait until after the shutdown. Now the GOP’s health care homework is due, and they’re panicking.

Oh my. When you've lost the Babylon Bee …

Why can’t we have nice things, too?

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

Our school children have worked so hard and finished their end-of-year exams. Even with the few resources we have, they continue to show great courage and a strong desire to learn. We are proud of each one of them. Their report cards will be ready and given out on the 5th of December. Thank you all.

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

I think immigrants Make America Great. I think most immigrants are not criminals. I KNOW the president is a criminal. ⚖️🇺🇸⚖️

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

And hung! The Fat Stinky Shitstain Orange Shitweasel Anti-Christ Felon Nazi President Donnie Dementia wants six Democratic Veterans and former intelligence officers hung for Sedition. Isn't Witkoff giving away state secrets to the enemy worse than stating the UCMJ? 1/

This Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for so much - above all, for loved ones who are with us in our best and worst moments, and who remind us who we really are. From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!

Doing your best to literally destroy life-sustaining ecosystems while also sanctioning the torture of people is hard on the spirit, wow who knew

This is a welcoming account.

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files. So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:
