House Democrats have introduced War Powers Resolutions to block further military assaults on Venezuela. We’re expecting a House vote this week, so call your representative ASAP and demand that they vote YES to check the regime’s lawless violence: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Rep. Jim Himes lays it out: if socialism is state control of the means of production, what do you call a President taking stakes in Intel, MP Materials, Lithium Americas, Trilogy Metals & even a golden share in U.S. Steel? That’s corporate welfare dressed up as capitalism

This is my cyclical reminder that there's really only one consistently reliable source of info in the public record that isn't owned by right wing billionaires, who really want to put an end to it. Please give at least the $2.75 minimum they request if you can. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Campa-Najjar: Voters know whose fault it is because Trump can try to bullshit all he wants, but Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the presidency. So when government is failing people right now—and it is—they know who’s at fault. It’s Trump and his party and sycophants like Darrell Issa.

lol.

No. No. No! This is critical research. It's not even centered on climate. It's solar physics! It's geomagnetic storms! It's space weather! It's sunspots! It's a research center needed for satellites and spaceflight!

America’s cost-of-living problem is simple math: Inflation spiked several years ago and paychecks haven’t had enough time to catch up. The latest jobs report revealed today that the problem got even worse last month — and a separate inflation report Thursday could show that the crunch is really on.

So now that we’ve pretty much completely abandoned the whole “on Day 1” thing; and “in two weeks” & “next quarter” didn’t work out too well either, what is the date when MAGA will agree that it is definitely Donald Trump’s economy and everything won’t be Biden’s fault?

Anti-Social PD Personality Disorder (sociopathy): Failure to conform to social norms Impulsivity Aggressiveness Reckless disregard for others Consistent irresponsibility/failure to maintain consistent work behaviors (expected of a leader) Lack of Remorse by being indifferent to hurting others 3/

A sociopathic narcissist exploits tragedy/suffering of others to satisfy his dysfunctionally competitive, vindictive need to "win"....and to Self Aggrandize. In this one statement, Trump exhibits 7 of 9 symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and 6 of 7 for Anti-Social PD (sociopathy). 1/

This CANNOT stand. This is an abomination. Fuck cruelty being the point! Somebody needs to stand up for what is right and against what is clearly a gross violation of children.

Amazon is talking about investing $10bn in OpenAI so that OpenAI can then hand some of that back as part of its $38bn cloud compute deal using trainium chips. This should get OpenAI to what, March? Utterly stupid and investors should actively punish Amazon www.theinformation.com/articles/ope...

Republican Senators are such cowards.

Naval blockades are old school but they are acts of war by definition.

Oh of course. It makes perfect sense for a country to ban travel from 39 countries just 6 months before hosting the world’s most attended sporting event.

Now Republicans want to protect gun retailers? I bet Joe Wilson sponsors this bill since on of his sons owns Palmetto Armory. The literally make a killing in SC.

Here is the Department of Homeland Security touting this new ban by describing the (among others) spouses and children of U.S. citizens coming on visas as "foreign invaders." It has never been about legal versus illegal. They hate legal immigration. They want to stop it. That's the story.

"meant to incite violence"??

Time is running out to extend ACA tax credits — and Washington Republicans still have NO plan to address the health care crisis they created. This is an emergency. We need to act NOW before millions of Americans are priced out of health coverage altogether.

CRIMINAL IN CHIEF: DONALD TRUMP 34 felony convictions. Cozying up to convicted sex traffickers. Cashing in on crypto grifts. Inviting foreign influence into American politics. This is the standard Trump sets. See more at: gov.ca.gov/2025/12/14/trumpcriminals/

Good. Let it burn.

What you don't understand, @mtracey, is that when you leave a legacy of beloved art, people tend to treasure and celebrate it. "Virulent" politics is all you got, and you won't even be remembered for that.

Well Done….. BREAKING: Dozens of pastors, rabbis, and other faith leaders have CHAINED themselves to a federal courthouse in SF in protest. ⛓ They BLOCKED ICE from entering the building to arrest immigrants' court proceedings. 👏 Heroes in solidarity!

If you’re wondering why Republicans are panicking ahead of next year’s elections, here’s why: They wrecked the economy and are terrified of being held accountable.

🔥 On December 14, 2025, a strike was carried out on a convoy of S-400 air defence systems marching near the village of Raevka, Belgorod Region, - Dosiye Shpiona • 5P85SM2-01 launcher was destroyed; • 5P85SM2-01 launcher was damaged; • four 48N6DM surface-to-air guided missiles were destroyed.

Elon Musk was an “avowed” ketamine user, Susie Wiles told Vanity Fair. She also labeled JD Vance a “conspiracy theorist,” budget head Russ Vought a “right-wing absolute zealot” and criticized Pam Bondi’s handling of the Epstein files. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Looks like Gregory Bovino's ancestors, or people like them, were also hit with the same kind of bigotry that Stephen Miller and Trump are now leveling at today's immigrants. People like Miller's ancestors were as well.

Just so we're all on the same page, Trump's own Chief of Staff Susie Wiles' thoughts on: - Donald Trump has "an alcoholic’s personality” - Pam Bondi "whiffed on Epstein" - JD Vance a "conspiracy theorist" - Russ Vought a "right wing zealot" - Elon Musk an "avowed ketamine user"

If Biden's term was a disaster, Trump's economy is heading towards the apocalypse: "Jobs rose by 64,000 in November, but fell in October by 105,000, thanks in part to DOGE-induced federal layoffs that finally took effect."

kyrsten sinema seemingly had a long-term plan to cash out of her senate job by establishing a reputation as someone who was connected to both parties, so at minimum it is good to see her get to find out that her name is mud
