Unusual Machines just landed another contact with a company trying to sell drones to the Defense Dept. Donald Trump Jr. is an advisor to Unusual Machines. www.sec.gov/Archives/edg...

NEW: Last year we found the acceptable level of exposure to formaldehyde set by the EPA left people at risk for cancer. Now the Trump administration has roughly doubled it www.propublica.org/article/epa-...

Can we talk about Steve Bannon helping Jeffrey Epstein behind the scenes a fraction as much as we talked about Hunter Biden's corruption?

Silent Middle Child nails it. Again:

"How can we help save democracy? How can we serve and add value for our community?" Those are always and only the things we're thinking about.

Dan Sturman details in an NYT op-ed how Nixon solicited a CIA profile showing that Daniel Ellsberg was a nutcase, but the CIA psychiatrists concluded he was a person of "dazzling brilliance" who was motivated by a high order of patriotism.

"Acute hepatitis B cases among children have fallen by more than 99 percent nationwide, with rates declining among adults as well." RFK Jr. looked at that and saw a problem. ICYMI @citizencohn.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/4iDXLiZ

NEW: The Trump administration has argued that Fed board member Lisa Cook may have committed mortgage fraud by declaring more than one primary residence on her loans. We found that Trump once did the very thing he claimed could be a crime.

Parents will still be able to get the hepatitis B vaccine for their children at no cost even though the CDC's vaccine advisers recommended a major change to the immunization practice. https://cnn.it/3Ml3kqo

The killing of shipwrecked survivors at sea is a textbook violation of the laws of war. If Hegseth is so proud of the killing of these survivors, the Pentagon should release the full video, just like they have with other boat strikes. The American people deserve full transparency & accountability.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I stood for women who were raped when they were 14 years old, and the president that I fought for called me a traitor for that."

In his 1989 farewell address, Ronald Reagan focused on civic memory—on America’s tendency to forget its own story. More than three decades later, that warning feels less like a rhetorical flourish and more like an unheeded alarm.

When's the list of the accomplishment of Trump coming out? I need a good laugh after 11 months of this political chaos. BTW... Thanks, Joe

Tom Nichols: “This ongoing game show of ‘strike a boat every day’ […] is making us into worse people — every one of us, whether we’re in uniform or just ordinary citizens. It is spiritually and morally corrosive on every level.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department. One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone. When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

Every right-wing oligarch, podcaster, hack, Russian apologist, paid influencer, and bot has been activated in a coordinated manner to attack Europe after the EU fined Musk.

“ACIP has recommended a universal birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine since 1991, after realizing a risk-based strategy wasn’t working. Annual hepatitis B infections among infants and children have dropped 99% from 16,000 to less than 20.”

Republican Brian Fitzpatrick: "Affordability should be the name of the game…Every bill we bring to the floor should be focused on lowering the cost of living, not voting to condemn the horrors of socialism, not voting for NIL for college sports — why are we focusing on that?"

After 99 years, Michigan clockmaker Howard Miller is shutting down. The culprit: Trump's tariffs. "If the federal government had said, ‘Oh, it's a 10% tariff, constant,' … they might've worked things out," an employee said. "But no. It's just chaos." By @annaleighclark.bsky.social

Hey @MarshaBlackburn — if people with drugs thousands of miles away not even coming here are “terrorists” who can be bombed without due process, what does that say about Big Pharma companies you helped shield from accountability as their opioid crisis killed scores of Americans?

Meet Bertie!

Rosie just let me pet her neck, and came SO close to letting me scratch her head. She’ll be so happy when she realizes that’s a good thing. And that’s the news.

Presidents can’t rescind birthright citizenship. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana... @brennancenter.org

Trump has renamed the U.S. Institute of Peace after himself. Earlier in the year, we reported on how Trump sent a DOGE team to the institute, where they publicly outed a sensitive Afghanistan program and prompted a Taliban crackdown. Revisit our investigation ⤵️

When you put it that way, it seems horrible.

WATCH — @markwarner.bsky.social : "We should not put American soldiers in a place where they could be violating international law. Unfortunately we’ve seen this time and again from Hegseth.”

CNN Finds Israel Killed Palestinian Aid Seekers and Bulldozed Bodies into Shallow, Unmarked Graves

Like here's another thing, the things are just adding up. Every day there's more things. bsky.app/profile/npr....

NEW: Kristi Noem, Todd Blanche, and Joseph Mazzara identify themselves (and now-judge Emil Bove) as the decision-makers involved in directing deportation flights to El Salvador despite Judge Boasberg's order. Their declarations are otherwise substance-free. www.courtlistener.com/docket/69741...

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake? TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

“Metro Nashville is suing the federal government, saying new U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) rules could force hundreds of Nashville families back into homelessness or life-threatening situations.” www.wsmv.com/2025/12/06/l...

This quote popped into my head during the conclusion of @hcrichardson.bsky.social chat yesterday…

Unfuckingbelievable.

🔥 @adammockler.com : “Trump wants to act like a monarch that gets gifts. FIFA just cashed in on that. They realized they can placate him. It’s humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child. It should scare everybody who cares about the constitution.”

"If we have three years of Trump, I wonder whether Putin in particular—but maybe also Xi—thinks this is the time to make the move before the Americans have recovered their understanding of what needs to be done." lnk.thebulwark.com/3KeAwiL

"When there’s no war, you aren’t committing war crimes when you kill people indiscriminately. You’re just a straight-up murderer."

“This irresponsible and purposely misleading guidance will lead to more hepatitis B infections in infants and children.” Read our full statement by AAP President Dr. Susan J. Kressly: www.aap.org/en/news-room...

On left: President Trump Statement Sept. 2, 2025: "The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in international waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States." On right: (Under penalty of law) military leaders told Congress headed to Suriname.

In their confirmation hearings, RFK Jr pledged he would not be anti-vax, Hegseth said he respected women serving in leadership positions in the military, and Bondi said she would not weaponize DOJ against Trump’s political enemies.

#Pinks #ProudBlue Child Separation is in full swing. Where are these kids actually being taken and what’s going to happen to them? There is no oversight or accountability. What’s happening to the children?!?! www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

The push to roll back the hepatitis B vaccine offers an unusually clear lesson in why vaccine policy needs to account not only for science, but also the realities of health care in America

“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.” www.wgbh.org/news/local/2... @gbhnews.bsky.social
