US to residents of our closest allies: do NOT come here on holiday or for work trips Sigh

DAILY SHOW: “Donald Trump is swooping in to save farmers… from Donald Trump. To make up for $44 Billion in losses he’s bailing them out with $12 Billion. (12 is less than 44)”

PSA: When Trump says Biden had high inflation, he leaves out that it had come down by the time he left, and was among the lowest in the world when Trump took over — and that the inflation was a global issue everyone experienced post-COVID.

"I will not be quiet. Not speaking out — it equals resignation." Tennis legend Martina Navratilova on the importance of standing up to Trump and his enablers:

Brutal for Trump: Republicans are now openly warning that his corrupt 2026 rigging is backfiring, because MAGA coalition is collapsing and GOPers in seats made less safe by redrawn maps will be in real peril. On the pod, Rep Jamie Raskin unleashes bigly on all this: newrepublic.com/article/2042...

This is INSANE www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/t... and these are our closest allies!

MAJOR BREAKING: Eileen Higgins will win the Miami mayoral runoff election, becoming the first Democrat to serve as mayor of the city in nearly 30 years, Decision Desk HQ projects. The Republican candidate won the mayoral race in 2021 by 67 points.

With more instances of Donald Trump appearing fatigued or forgetful, Americans are again seeing evidence of a president who lacks the energy to do his demanding job, @dgraham.bsky.social argues.

“She has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours.” Her crime: witnessing ICE, from a distance.

JFC. The weakening of America continues.

You would think that even the Magats would know that they're not getting bigger paychecks.

The cost of living in America has skyrocketed. So what's the Trump Administration doing? Ending the most affordable repayment plan for student loan borrowers in history.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends. It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Whiny-assed bitch. Release the Trump-Epstein files!! www.forbes.com/sites/maryro...

Ossoff: "She's gonna have to give up her insurance in the middle of chemotherapy while she's fighting breast cancer. What are people supposed to do when they lose health insurance in the middle of a cancer battle? ... this is life or death"

Caleb Ragland, president of the American Soybean Association, on Trump's farm bailout: "This is a band-aid on an open wound ... what we truly need are market-based solutions"

🧑‍🌾FARMER: “Trump’s tariffs put farmers in the shape we’re in. Foreclosures up. Bankruptcies up. Suicides up.”

Boom! You gotta see this!

Awful: Trump just admitted in a new interview that he knows "very little" about the Honduran ex-president he pardoned. This guy trafficked a gazillion times more drugs into the US than anyone Trump has executed. Wrecks his case for the boat bombings. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

Of course Trump would give the economy an A+ after he rigged it to enrich him, his family and billionaires... But for the rest of America?   Higher utility bills. Higher grocery bills. Historically high mortgage rates. And skyrocketing health insurance bills.

I saw an incredibly disturbing video of the U.S. attacking survivors of a capsized boat in the Caribbean. All of Congress and the American people deserve to see the full, unedited video of the boat strikes and make their own judgments.

Trump has pardoned huge amounts of fraud and truly heinous crimes. In particular, he's pardoned more corrupt elected officials than any other President, and it's not particularly close. This President is a crook through and through.

Here's a little more of our extra frisky girl Qing Bao playing yesterday. 😍🐼😂

Trump just rated his economy an “A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus” as families in Denver struggle to afford groceries, health care, child care, rent, and other every day expenses. Donald Trump is out-of-touch and gaslighting the American people. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

CNN put together a supercut of Trump calling affordability a "Democrat hoax" and "con job"

Democrats have become the party of the status quo, says Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland. He's urging members of his party to craft sharper election messages and back new voices in the party. n.pr/3KH1RKn

The other reporters in the White House press corps are apparently waiting until the president actually takes a swing at one of their female colleagues before they say anything

Remember, as Sean Duffy keeps telling us his ideas for air travel -- dress up nice for your flight! do a little workout before you get on too! -- this is an actual Good Thing We Wanted that Democrats secured for us before these assholes took it away

I am pleased to announce another no-talent year!

Nearly 100 people have been killed without due process by U.S. boat strikes since September. The memo justifying them is still hidden. Sen. Kelly, who says the document should be public, can change that today. Read more in our secrecy newsletter, The Classifieds:

Trump’s reckless tariff scheme sent farmers into crisis, and now he wants $12 billion from taxpayers to paper over the damage. This needs to stop. The tariffs need to go. www.sdpb.org/politics/202...

President Trump accused a group of Democratic lawmakers of sedition when they told members of the military that they must refuse unlawful orders. But Pam Bondi, the attorney general, said the same thing last year.

As with everything he says, this is wildly uninformed. Formula keeps getting better and saves lives. And modern research indicates that outcomes are roughly the same. There are reasons to breastfeed but your child isn’t suffering if you don’t

This blood transfusion brought to you by the leeches I placed on your testicles

it’s pretty funny that Duffy is simultaneously 1. scolding passengers for not wearing fancy clothes while flying 2. supporting airport gyms so passengers can be sweaty and gross while flying both of these proposals are idiotic but the direct contradiction is next level

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too? A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.
