BREAKING: The Trump administration has escalated its probe of Sen. Mark Kelly into an official Command Investigation under military law, further targeting a sitting U.S. senator for constitutionally protected speech.

🧵 NSF is reducing external review requirements and eliminating routine expert panels, citing staff shortages that this administration implemented. This change expands program officer authority. But the solution to flawed accountability isn't less public accountability.

Anyone else notice the lack of "What Rob Reiner meant to say..." discussions today?

guys, @sodrock.bsky.social @gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social @mikeblack114.bsky.social, DoD reorg plan just dropped www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Providing people in government custody with access to legal counsel isn't optional — it's required by the Constitution. ICE regularly violates this right and won't let people speak with their lawyer confidentially. We're taking ICE to court because people have a right to speak to their attorneys.

Jones: Everything you hear from Tuberville is framed as a sports analogy. When you view everything that way, you’re always stuck in an us-versus-them, winners-versus-losers mentality. That’s how he operates. But the fact that communities across Alabama are suffering is not a game.

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker. This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

Rep. Andy Ogles attended a New York City event alongside prominent white nationalists and Nazi sympathizers.

"‘Chilling effect’ does not begin to describe the neutering of our political coverage,” said @sovernnation.bsky.social apnews.com/article/trum...

...................I'm sorry what? the things people who know better are willing to pretend are open questions in order to facilitate the wishes of the Trump regime and shield it from consequences, goodness

Giving Gaston a fleshed out backstory is like trying to humanise the kind of guy who consumes no media except team sports and Andrew Tate videos, and thinks women have gotten above themselves. Which is probably why Disney are so keen on it right now.

Real businesses make a product people want. Fake businesses make a product venture capital wants to invest in.

Jared Taylor, a prominent white nationalist whose annual American Renaissance conference serves as a "who's who" for the international white supremacist movement, was among those who attended the New York Young Republican Club gathering this weekend. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

they are part of the coverup as trump hack appointees.

Just to get ahead of this: Print the post out and bring it to the next Mike Johnson presser. You already know what his move will be. There’s no excuse to not be prepared for it.

Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."

I don't mean to be that guy, but the open source alternatives have actually gotten really good. I'd encourage you to at least try OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

This will be go-to piece on Millerism for a long time. Most media refuse to recognize that Miller's project is divorced from any attachment to "immigration law enforcement" but rather is about a narrow ethnic nationalism.

Would we call it bipartisan? Or would we note that only a small number of Republican elected leaders have managed to speak up?

Accusing someone else of being deranged while referring to yourself in the third person totally normal behaviour.

The Constitution guarantees your right to follow, record, protest, and notify others about the agents and what you see. These are core First Amendment rights, and DHS has clearly ordered its agents to threaten and violate those rights. cato.org/blog/dhs-pol...

On Dec. 4, DOJ labeled people who impede or "dox" ICE agents "domestic terrorists." I document how DHS believes following, recording, and protesting agents is "impeding," and has a policy of threatening & arresting ICE observers. That's unconstitutional. www.cato.org/blog/dhs-pol...

Important post: my colleague documents an “official, nationwide policy of intimidating and threatening people who attempt to observe and record DHS operations,” or who peacefully and without interference follow and protest them, even though the First Amendment broadly protects doing those things. /1

CBS: Trump just disparaged Reiner’s political views.

For better or worse, public figures are judged when they die — their character, contributions, beliefs. It's undeniable that millions have mourned Rob Reiner's tragic death, celebrating his talent and contributions. I suspect when a certain public figure kicks the bucket, sentiments wont be the same

This is what a civilized country does when someone tries to steal their democracy.

For generations to come, Donald Trump will be remembered as being the WORST president in U.S. history. Not even close.

Remember when people said it was crazy to think that we were in an AI bubble? When they would actively mock you for doubting the glory of the LLM era?

none of this shit matters. twitter poisons people's brains because it’s run by a nazi, yet trump's fat ass is still sinking in the polls there’s no compelling reason to go back

When people say to vote for Republicans and Trump is to vote against your own interests, this seems like a pretty good example of what that likely means. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/u...

Rob Reiner was an acclaimed actor & director but he was also a vocal critic of Trump He warned the American public that they only had a year to save their democracy That year is almost up Honour his legacy by fighting fascism. Fight for democracy. Fight for what’s right. Fight against tyranny.

Cassidy and several GOP physicians currently “serve” in Congress. The behavior they display runs counter to the ideals of members of the healing profession. Glaring in their ABSENCE are a concern for the welfare of others and a suppression of self-interest.

The regime is attempting to make it legal for banks and credit card companies to discriminate against women and minorities, making credit access harder. There's just 1 day left to comment. Reject this premise based on the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. Comment here: tr.ee/I9k7aFPzg3

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008. Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

Wrecking the entire planet.

It's wrong when a large amount of a person's sparse income is spent on all of the taxes in their lives yet those at the top can pay their tax bills with what is essentially change they find in their couch. Percentages cover up the truth of how unchecked wealth is wrecking our nation and its people.

a wealth tax is a winning issue.

For the second year in a row, the wealth gains for the 100 richest Americans exceeded what ALL American households spent on groceries combined. ~$995B for billionaires vs ~$775B in total grocery spending. We have an oligarchy and inequality problem masquerading as an affordability crisis.

One citizen said that federal agents in Idaho pointed guns at her children, ages 6 and 8, and dragged her 14-year-old daughter out of a truck and zip-tied her. The mother told investigators that an agent threatened to “fucking blow your head off.” By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it. They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Literally the first impeachment articles against Trump were introduced because of activism on here.

Read this thread. It's exactly right. But also note on the internet related stories—the banning of TikTok and the attack on Sec 230—Democrats happily helped MAGA accomplish their goals and people have cheered it on. Democrats trying to destroy 230 are not helping you. They're helping Trump.

The endgame here is getting the Supreme Court to declare that the entire civil service system is unconstitutional. Which is to say, this administration does not want us to be a modern, efficient, globally competitive nation-state.

It's ridiculously out of touch to treat "abolish ICE" as untouchable. This stuff is wildly unpopular! People hate them! It's an irredeemably rotten institutional culture of thuggery and criminality. Cutting this malignant tumor out altogether isn't just right on principle, it's a winning message.

"how dare you call our agents fascists" at they literally wear black leather belts across their chests and full-length black leather jackets
