Over 20 million Americans are about to see their health insurance rates skyrocket. Instead of addressing that, the House GOP is going home for the holidays. Just so happens they won't be in town to answer tough questions about the Epstein files, either.

How did we let this happen????

Frost: If you want to protect children, why don't you ban assault weapons instead of health care?

Trump just announced he will address the nation tomorrow night from the White House. Probably to declare war on Venezuela. We all knew he was going to pull some last-second shit to distract from the Epstein files.

I feel like it might have been a bad idea to get rid of all the people who know how to find mass shooters because like, DEI

Gawd, I just fucking hate him.

Rob Reiner is all the proof you need that Trump Derangement Syndrome is a product of common decency.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Sickening monsters

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl. Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist. They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed. Another horrific story. More details below.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

It's been 13 years since Sandy Hook. These kids should be in college right now. Instead, families are still mourning—and gun violence is still the #1 killer of kids in America. Our children deserve leaders who do more to protect them.

Elon has received over $38Billion in subsidies & contracts from the U.S. Government/taxpayers. There’s your foreign leech.

Trump has signed an Executive Order attempting to ban states and localities from regulating AI. It comes after Big Tech announced a $100 million lobbying blitz. Always follow the money. https://youtu.be/imtkNL4v2ks?si=LHG-GWoIO87c1Tyi

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data. My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

Please get vaccinated. This doesn’t have to happen. But it will happen more, and with more fatalities as long as RFK Jr and his anti-science enablers continue to spread disinformation. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment. They are openly saying this. Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

just going to reiterate this. if immigrants don't have due process, no one does. you can't tell citizens from immigrants without due process. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/if-immigra...

Remember when Donald Trump literally destroyed a huge part of the White House? Is anyone still talking about that?

An important opinion piece, because it lays out the facts. www.mediaite.com/opinion/trum...

The EPA has scrubbed most of its website of any mention that human activity is driving climate change.

Children don’t need ‘AI’ to create their graphic novels or any kind of art. They need confidence in their own beautiful, original, human creativity, flaws and all. They need to learn to make art badly before they get better at it. They need the space to do all this, and not learn through ‘AI’

immigrants score the lowest on tests, but they also take all our jobs, while at the same time taking all the welfare and buying all the homes

-Bust up monopolies -Boost unions -$20/hr fed minimum wage -Ban Wall Street from buying homes -Pass M4A -Universal childcare -Get rid of Trump’s tariffs -Enact UBI -Tax the rich These are crucial steps to making America affordable again. Every Democrat must fight for this.

WHEN THE HELL ARE THEY GOING TO RELEASE THE COMPLETE, GODDAMN EPSTEIN FILES????? 🤨

You can be the most loving, compassionate person in the world... but... if you’re not actively guarding your mind...you will become desensitized to human suffering...in ways that are far beyond what you would ever consider acceptable.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

The Center for Disease Control can now officially be renamed the Center for Disease Communication Make no mistake: this is a vote to kill Americans for years to come www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/h...

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years. Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it. Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

"back in my day, we didn't have accommodations for x and y, we just toughed it out" Maybe we should want better worlds, then. Maybe we want our students to imagine/work for better worlds? Maybe we should show them what might be possible?

A vote for Van Epps is a vote for the Ku Klux Klan. Van Epps touts endorsements from controversial, corrupt figures americanjournalnews.com/van-epps-tou... #Tennessee #ChooseAftynBehn #USPol

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

If you have family & friends in Tennessee, please encourage them to vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social ! This whole country needs her to win!

Children are dead because of this idiot. HE IS NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL!!! He went yo law school then spent a decade or so addicted to heroine. RFK Jr. is overhauling the program that helps preserve Americans' access to vaccines Source: POLITICO share.newsbreak.com/g4e2gzr5

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Trump has decided to exempt coal used in steelmaking from Clean Air Act rules for the next two years. He issued a proclamation allowing coke oven facilities to sidestep existing limits on toxic emissions including mercury, formaldehyde, soot, and dioxins.

Good morning and happy holidays! Good luck out there, everyone.
