This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

Eradicate ignorance, encourage curiosity, and most of all allow imagination. That should be the goal of education.

At the Civil Rights Museum today, I heard this musical rebuke to Richard Nixon written by Stevie Wonder. I was struck by how much the words also apply to Trump.

This is the kind of accountability that matters! @mrobmsu.bsky.social

President Obama served food at soup kitchens on Thanksgiving. The orange felon shares staged propaganda photos of himself with troops from 2019 on Thanksgiving because he’s a 5-time draft dodging traitor lying criminal. How far we’ve fallen.

The deranged madman now threatens to blow up commercial airliners flying in and out of Venezuela.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Lindsey Graham sponsored the Afghan Adjustment Act: “This is the right thing to do. The people who were there with us in the fight who are here in America need to stay. This will be their new home. We have a moral obligation to these people and they will make great citizens.”

“The National Guard is stranded somewhere on this battlefield of partisan politics. They are not ready for this arena, and we should never have asked them to be. Politics is not a military mission.” @juliettekayyem.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

WOLFERS: “When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.” #MedicareForAllNOW

Here comes the war from the Nobel Peace Prize reject. Trump says US land action against alleged drug trafficking networks in Venezuela will start very soon. www.cnn.com/2025/11/27/p...

Developed initially to target and kill tumors, they are now being engineered to target cells that are contributing to autoimmune diseases, like antibody-producing B cells. #Science 🧪

"My poll numbers have never been better."

Keep in mind that white American males shot and killed countless Americans including many children, and no one ever did a thing but protect their right to do it again.

The National Guard Shooting Republicans and right-wing media never miss an opportunity to spread hate, division, and anti-immigrant bigotry, but we should be thankful they're too incompetent to spin the National Guard shooting. thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-nation...

This is why a con man shouldn’t have been allowed to become President! This 👇

Speaker Mike Johnson is "crushed by his workload." Bitch, please! You've been on a self-conferred vacation the past few months.

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up. Your 70% number is just a fabrication. And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.

Even a blind squirrel…

So when ‘ole Uncle Joe starts rambling at the end of the Turkey 🦃 day table, hit him with this factoid:Newly released emails show the FBI spent almost $1 million in overtime analyzing the Epstein files as part of an effort dubbed the “Special Redaction Project." www.thedailybeast.com/fbis-frantic...

The Three Stooges of Justice

This is a really big story that should not be missed. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

‼️‼️ Newly released emails show the FBI spent almost $1 million in overtime analyzing the Epstein files as part of an effort dubbed the “Special Redaction Project."

Don't fall for it. Trump has been waiting for an excuse for a military dictatorship. It took only a few hours for President Donald Trump to turn what he called “an act of evil, and an act of terror” into a full-blown argument for an even more intense crackdown on immigration.

Mike Johnson is a bigot. He puts down everyone who isn't a white male. He's a fake Christian.

Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice. 📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber. Prosecute her and everyone involved.

Trump: TO be tough on China I will impose huge tariffs China [buys all its soybean from Brazil] Trump: To free Bolsonaro I will impose huge tariffs on coffee Brazil [jails Bolsonaro early] Trump to Japan: You have to let China take Taiwan or they won't buy our soybeans

These two things are true: 1) Shooting National Guard members is horrific and criminal. 2) So is putting National Guard members in harm’s way to score political points.

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US. Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

The death of two national guardsmen is a horrific tragedy. It is also an orchestrated tragedy by a president hellbent on creating a tinder box environment across the country.

What Trump’s plan to exclude nursing from ‘professional’ degrees actually means. Wrestling mogul Linda McMahon rules that nursing is not a profession, not eligible for extended federal support. Very stupid when we have a critical shortage of nurses. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

There must be zero tolerance for violence — of any kind — against the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our communities and our country. The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. is horrific and unacceptable.

The best learning takes place in a kind, safe environment.

Unbelievable. Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

NATO Ambassador Matthew Whitaker admits "there's some truth" to the criticism that Putin hasn't made a single concession during negotiations

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

The President is struggling to find a turkey convicted of financial crimes that he can pardon.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

The AUDACITY of TRUMP & HEGSETH It disgusts me to my very core They want to court martial our Arizona Senator !! Hegseth and Trump can't shine his shoes Let alone Gabby Giffords Once again, like Comey this insane investigation wil do nothing, only waste thousands of taxpayer dollars

That sound you heard was every GOP elected official with a lick of sense absolutely SHITTING themselves thinking about the visual of Mark Kelly back in uniform before a military court as Whiskey Pete's handpicked chucklefucks try to railroad him on bogus charges.

Carrie Fisher was the blueprint. Protect your people. Call out the predators. #RESIST

This is who she was. Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best. Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...
