We're in NH for New Years & today I saw a tall man with white hair peaking out from his parka hood standing at the intersection of Main St. & Pleasant St. He had a sign looped around his neck: "VET. Make America Kind Again." Another man held a sign: "Can we IMPEACH him yet?" It was 15 degrees. 1/

For Mayor of NYC:

Who wore it better?

I'm not a doctor--but I've written them on TV--and in my inexpert opinion, if Trump is taking 325 milligrams of aspirin it's not to prevent a stroke, it's to prevent a SECOND stroke. Could someone with actual medical knowledge weigh in?

I hope history remembers Jack Smith's succinct answer about what caused the attack on the US Capitol on Jan 6.

Lots of ppl posting "We survived!" I'm thinking of those who didn't. People in prison. Immigrants in detention centers. Pregnant women deprived medical care. Children who died of measles. US soldiers in Syrian. People in police custody. Melissa Hortman. And victims of so so many mass shootings.

2026 will be best

Remember in 2023 when Greta Gerwig's Barbie crushed at the box office and Hollywood responded by giving more women the opportunity to direct movies? Yeah, me neither.

The U.S. State Department is trying to punish our CEO Imran Ahmed for the work CCDH does to hold social media giants accountable. It puts every campaigner, researcher, and advocate at risk. At CCDH, we’re defending the right to speak out. Join us in this fight. Donate now. 👇

Within hours of news breaking that Tatianna Schlossberg, granddaughter of JFK, had tragically died,Trump posted three times in a row about his handpicked board renaming the Kennedy Center after him. What a loathsome human being.

He loops in 30 seconds, repeating 2 lies: the ballroom is "under budget and ahead of schedule" and building a ballroom is something "the White House has wanted for 150 years." "Dementia looping" is when people use repetition due to memory loss or to seek comfort from confusion.

This is not AI. I found this photo on her Facebook page.

Three Things I resisted in 2025: 1. Dubai chocolate 2. Lip filler 3. Authoritarianism

What if it turns out that along with drinking and smoking, lying is harmful to a fetus.

The Academy should give President Zelenskyy an honorary Oscar.

Sandy Hook proved Republicans are fine with children being slaughtered Epstein Files prove Republicans are fine with children being raped. Bobby Kennedy proves Republicans are fine with children dying of diseases that could be prevented

Bored of staring at the yule log? Watch this Last Week Tonight episode about Bari Weiss.

Two British anti-hate speech campaigners sanctioned by US state department. Imran Ahmed and Clare Melford among five Europeans hit with visa bans over claims they wish to ‘suppress American viewpoints they oppose’. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

If it weren't for Rape Culture, MAGA would have no culture at all

Imran Ahmed is on the list of individuals “sanctioned” by the State Department. He founded the Centre for Countering Digital Hate in the wake of Jo Cox’s murder in 2016. CCDH was sued by Elon Musk over its work. Now Ahmed faces US sanction for it. There are surely diplomatic implications here.

2025 was a terrible year for many but a GREAT year for rapists

Meanwhile Harvard is going after two students who recorded Summers speaking in front of a large lecture hall. smh

Ever wonder what Ghislaine Maxwell wore toa charity benefit for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in 2004? I mean other than head-to-toe hypocrisy? Here's a look at some of Maxwell's criminally bad fashion choices.

This is really worth listening to.

Ever wonder what Ghislaine Maxwell wore when she showed up at a charity benefit for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in 2004? I mean other than a cloak of hypocrisy. Here's a look at some of Maxwell's criminally bad fashion choices.

Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick... "I'm Bari Weiss...." "I'm Tucker Carlson..." "I'm Nicki Minaj... "I'm Andrew Tate..." "And I'm Olivia Nuzzi. Those stories and more approved by the White House, tonight on 60 Minutes."

The miracle of Hanukkah (2025 edition): A 60 Minutes story on CECOT which would have only burned for 1 night if it had simply aired will now burn for 8 nights since it was spiked.

100 days after her husband was murdered. I guess everyone grieves differently. Like you might be grieving on the inside while it looks like you're having the time of your life.

The split within MAGA seems to be whether they should hate everybody EXCEPT Jews or hate everybody but ESPECIALLY Jews.

The Trump family has generated at least $4 billion since Donald’s re-election, thanks to crypto businesses, merchandising deals, and other ventures. It’s unprecedented. The Trump family has turned the presidential office into a hotbed of corruption, purely for their own gain.

Marjorie Taylor Green tried to impeach AG Merrick Garland because he approved a search of Mar-a-lago which turned up stolen, top secret documents. So maybe she would like to take the lead in impeaching Pam Bondi for breaking the law and not releasing the Epstein files.

The person charged with enforcing the laws is an open lawbreaker, assisted by a team of open lawbreakers, backed by a Congressional majority indifferent to lawbreaking, supported by a Supreme Court that privileges them to break the law. It has no legitimacy whatsoever.

Smart thread on Elise Stefanik's operatic downfall which will be premiering next fall at D.C.'s Trump Center for the Performative Arts.

Here’s how to remove Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center: tell Pam Bondi there’s a picture of it in the Epstein Files

Oof, look what just appeared next to The Gettysburg Address in The Lincoln Memorial.

He wasn't joking about adding his name to the Kennedy Center and he's not joking about wanting a third term.

We don't need the Epstein files to inform us that Donald Trump sexually assaulted women. In May 2023, a jury found him liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll. Another 28 have accused him of groping and/or forcing himself on them. Bondi should've just released all the files. 1/2

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor. Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

We need more of this. @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social calls out Republican bigotry. And it's direct. We need more white men who directly call out other white men, especially Republican white men, on their bigotry.

In the words of President John F. Kennedy whose memorial is the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts:

For a news org this statement is slight on details. As a journalist, I read this and thought: 1. What was the actual event? 2. Who organized it? 3. Was Brooks paid to attend? 4. Did HE pay to attend? 5. The statement says "widely-attended":is that 20? 100? 1000? 6. Since Brooks... (cont)

So you want to be a Hollywood writer? My book is filled with advice on how to write for both TV and movies and it's only $1.99 on Kindle. My favorite response came from a reader who DM'd me to say that he went straight from reading my book to writing a script.

Live footage from the White House tonight: (jk it's the Marx Brothers who I'd trust to run this country more than Trump, Hegseth, Rubio and Vance)

Shameful. Unemployment is now the highest it’s been since 2021. And Black women's unemployment is at 7.1% compared to 4.6% overall. This is a five-alarm fire for Black women, Black families, & Black futures—& the broader economy. The Federal Reserve must address this crisis NOW.

The House has THREE DAYS left in session this year. Still, not a single plan from House Republicans to actually lower your health care costs.

Justice Sotomayor called it in her dissent: "Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune.... In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law."

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does
