I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Trump: "Prices are coming down. It's a hoax."

BREAKING: Democrats flip Miami Mayor’s seat, electing first Democrat in 30 years, a SHOCKING result. Meanwhile, I speak with Jasmine Crockett about her Senate race. A major update and critical interview. Subscribe to support: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

www.cnn.com/2025/12/08/p... Is this a fucking joke? Limit his travel budget unless he complies with Congress? This administration, along with every other government elected official, is the Mickey Mouse Club.

😤😤😤

It’s important to remember that Laura Ingraham went to Dartmouth. She’s not as stupid as she sounds. She’s just a shameless liar.

Angus: But what Trump wants is to bring back the 19th-century gunboat diplomacy of the Monroe Doctrine, where he’s effectively declaring that North America and South America will be run by the US. In that worldview, Canada becomes a vassal state… that’s not going to happen.

Wow -- Russia reportedly plotted last year to plant bombs on US-bound flights (gift link) giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

This is CORPORATE GREED at the finest. It's over Netflex. This is why I won't subscribe to any streaming services other than SiriusXM. David Ellison is MAGA Asshole. youtu.be/Tsyu0SQWpo4?...

The housing crisis isn’t about immigrants — it’s about private equity gobbling up entire neighborhoods and pricing families out. Blaming immigrants is cowardly lie. The real villains are the billionaires turning homes into profit machines. #TrumpInflationCrisis

x.com/RapidRespons... I never believed anyone could be more narcissistic than The Felon, but this bitch beats him by miles.

🙄 Projective hypocrisy #68,673

Also True......

What exactly can the Republican Party accuse the Democrats of doing wrong over the past year that would potentially prevent us from having a clean sweep in the Midterms? It can’t be rape, murder, sedition, corruption, fraud, or any other high crime or misdemeanor that Trump hasn’t already committed.

Another war Trump claims he ended where fighting continues.

Our economy is getting worse under Trump… www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

The biggest fear I have now is that narcissistic, overbearing, know it all, egomaniac has the nuclear codes & I don’t think he has plans to go alone. I miss the quiet. I miss some of my old friends that I’d sometimes have lunch with. I miss watching the news & not being angry. I miss so much …

Doing my morning reading, and want to call out @thebulwark.com, with @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and @jvl.bsky.social (and others) for consistently smart takes that make me think.

TRUMP GOVERNANCE:

www.ms.now/deadline-whi... He’s a disgusting excuse for a human being. No redeeming qualities whatsoever-NONE!

youtu.be/hDVtpMj2Udw It’s already been a little over a year, but I still can’t wrap my head around the fact at how many incredibly brainwashed individuals there are in this country. It is truly astounding that anyone would vote for this parasite

😂😂😂

It's ridiculous to ask him this. According to the Ukrainian constitution, agreeing to give up territory is forbidden and equivalent to turning against his country. Do these evil Americans already know this? Probably, which makes this plan sinister.

By the time I find my hidden gifts, they are back in style!!!😂😂😂😂

BELIEVE THE SURVIVORS..........

CAN SOMEONE, ANYONE GET THAT MENTAL MORON COMER ON THE ☎️AND ASK HIM WHAT HE THINKS ABOUT THIS? PRONTO😡🔥😡

beyond time to pack the court

He just can’t handle the difficult questions! His comeback is always denigrating and insulting the reporters! deadline.com/2025/12/kait...

"Why should we believe *anything* this administration says without supporting evidence? That’s not a rhetorical question." It's a dangerous question, but they have forced us to ask it. lnk.thebulwark.com/3KP4z0z

holy shit this is a helluva ad from the democrat running for michigan secretary of state. watch and pass it on!

Federal judge throws out Trump order blocking development of wind energy apnews.com/article/trum...

I’m calling bullshit right now. Not for the obvious - Useless piece of shit Trump kid getting taxpayer money from Daddy, but for the reason of: …breaking US dependence on China? Q: Where the fuck is Don Jr going to get his rare earth magnets from? A: From China. Jr. is just a middle man.
