Levin: Six years ago, I was up here. I said this is our first jewish president. Now he is the first jewish president to serve two not consecutive presidencies.

Trump has been convinced by his handlers it’s time to attack Venezuela. Trump has dementia and thinks he’s on the golf course. He is being manipulated. All his actions are illegal. We will need a tribunal to prosecute all involved. Any Trump pardon is invalid because of his dementia.

Next November, there will be no confusion about who raised healthcare premiums. None.

who needs opposition research when you have Trump's chief of staff?

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Let’s be clear: Susie Trump hasn’t denied making those statements. She’s just claiming they’ve been “taken out of context.” So, she made the comments. End of story.

BREAKING: The U.S. Coast Guard has quietly enacted a policy downgrading swastikas and nooses from hate symbols to “potentially divisive.” The manual is now in effect, despite public outrage and warnings after the draft was revealed last month. (Washington Post)

[email protected] : Were you satisfied with the answers you’ve gotten so far in this classified briefing on Venezuela? AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

Walz: "'I don't know, do you really think limiting them to less than 100 bullets is going to do anything?' Yes! Yes it is. Yes it is going to save lives ... it's time to start reporting that that is all bullshit. It does do something. It does make a difference."

I've been reporting on the criminal justice system for over a decade and have lived in an authoritarian country overseas, but I've never seen anything like the police presence in ICE-occupied Memphis. Here's my dispatch: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Susie Wiles is upset about an article in the NYT about Trump 2.0 being all about settling scores. Here’s a gifted version. Please share: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/u...

Susie Wiles says about the Ghislaine Maxwell transfer to a nicer prison: "I don’t know why they moved her. Neither does the president.” If you believe that, send me $100 and I'll email you the Brooklyn Bridge.

“.. The US economy is in a hiring recession. Almost no jobs have been added since April. “Wage gains are slowing. “710,000 more people are unemployed now versus November 2024.” @byheatherlong.bsky.social

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

It's bad.

good morning sisters/brothers. here in england with my daughter for a few weeks, and my postings will be hit and miss till the new year. wishing you each peace and joy at this Christmas and holiday time. much love.

BARTIROMO: How is it possible that Democrats are winning the messaging argument on affordability? BESSENT: A lot of it is the mainstream media. What we in this administration are not going to do is what the Biden administration did and tell the American people they don't know what they're feeling.

Susie Wiles tells Chris Whipple that she had a "loose agreement" with Trump to end the "score settling" after 90 days, but acknowledges that prosecutions of his enemies has been driven in part by the president's desire for retribution. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/u...

So @mehdirhasan.bsky.social believes its insanity if @kamalaharris.com consider running again in 2028. Great another progressive male pundit, who has never run a campaign at any level, believes he knows has all the answers. His opinion is worth nothing but the time he says it.

This Wall Street Journal headline is what major American media have become: a sick joke. Trump says Rob Reiner was asking to be stabbed to death because he didn't support Trump. WSJ sane-washes that into plain old "criticism" of Reiner. The media are killing our country with this normalization.

If you’re telling Head Start programs they can’t say “disability”, “Black”, “female”, or “Tribal” in order to get funded—you don’t care about kids. Period. This administration is attacking the very protections that keep children safe and supported. Our kids are not political props.

This week's sensory art prompt is 'moments', so I thought I'd share a few photos I took along the Mersey. These are quiet moments that I managed to capture. #SensoryArt #Photography #Scape #Coast

Convicted Felon Donald Trump's Truth Social post about Rob and Michele Reiner is disgusting filth. It reflects the depravity of this soulless ghoul and how he is incapable of decency and good judgment.

Why don’t journalists fight back against Trump’s insults? Do they stay silent to protect corporate profits? Will they ever reach the point where they tell Trump to f– off? My Stop the Presses newsletter.

Sen. WELCH: I’m concerned about this Trump nominee’s role in January 6th. He was present on January 6th at the Capitol. We already rejected Ed Martin for his ties to January 6th. It’s shocking that we’re forgetting 150 officers were injured that day.

The latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey found 41% of Americans plan to spend less for the holidays this year. Among those spending less, 46% blame the high cost of goods. - via @cnbc.com by Steve Liesman www.cnbc.com/2025/12/15/i... (Yes, it's about affordability.)

Some of the dumbest SOB ever to run a country. They fired thousands of tech workers and now they have hire people to replace the workers they fired. www.nextgov.com/people/2025/...

When Paul Pelosi was nearly murdered, and Trump responded with conspiracy theories and jokes, it reminded the world that Trump is a man devoid of grace and decency. Targeting Rob Reiner, he did it again, digging a hole in the bottom of the barrel and falling even further. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

All in the Family was the beginning of American society seeing and understanding...and coming to terms with...racism in our society. In a human way. Archie was not a villain, just a product of his environment. All credit to the writers, but Rob Reiner too!

Like so many American families in the 70s, my family watched and enjoyed All In The Family. It was Robert Reiner's character that we cheered for the most. Yes, loved his movies as well: The Bucket List, When Harry Met Sally, and A Few Good Men. RIP Rob Reiner 🕊️
